That's hilaroius - I haven't seen one of those yet.

Ok fun, must it be unrelated to Sift yet still important OR can it be whatever frivolous fluff anyone feels like having a yarn over?

So... whats everyone's overall favorite alcoholic beverage?

it can be whatever-ever, that's the off in off-topic

I'd say beer. Budweiser beer, especially. But... I'm not drinking much lately, not sure why. I've come to the point of mixing beer with sprite or coke to drink it - if they told me about that 15 months ago I guess I would have laughed

About spirits, I could say either rhum, or sambuca. You have sambuca over there?

Sambuca? Curious. Swamp is fresh out of that Can't say I've tried it. I have never thought of mixing beer with anything. My husband would faint at the sight Have you tried Kentucky bourbon? Straight of course, but you may chase it with a coke.

Snipe and I were having a nice chat about Belgian beers 3.0 launch night. Ales are quite different than lagers, but worth the effort

Is that flaming or non-flaming sambuca?

does boilermakers or irish car booms count? (yes that isn't the name, but the internets are being monitored) I mean that is mixing something with beer.

I get my Kentucky bourbon from the grocery store. It is like $5.30 for a fifth. It is also so bad you can't afford to chase it, you need your chaser before, during and after.

yikes..what are you drinking, JD. Evan Williams makes a nice 10yr bourbon for about 12 bucks. You might not even need the chaser

Oh, a little factoid I learned about whiskey this summer. You see a lot of No. 7 or No. 10 on a bottle. Many believe it means 7 or 10 years old. I've learn that's NOT the case. It used to be true, but now it's only a name. When you buy older bourbon make sure it actually spells out "years" on the bottle. There is a difference in quality.

Budweiser? BUDWEISER? 0_O

yeah many people shiver for some reason, but Bud's my favourite!
Well, I also like very much all good Weiss, and I like Dragoon (only red beer I drink), Corona, Desperados and many others.
But still, Bud's #1

@SG: bourbons... I dunno, maybe I tried sometimes but I don't remember them... Mixing beer with Sprite is done in France and it's called Panachè (random spelling) and it's done in Germany (yes, Germany) with, schweppes I guess, gaining the name Radler, or with Coke (IIRC) but I forgot the name it takes then.

@twiddles: non flaming, but adding some coffee beans does help. either 1 or 3, IIRC.

@JD: I've no idea what are you talking about -.-

Red fucking wine. Any of it right now, am not picky because am in a country that categorically outlaws all alcoholic beverages and it's slowly driving me insane.

Under normal circumstances I would say Shiraz. In terms of beer it has to be Cornona, Pilsen and or Heiny.

Never drink Slivovich with Serbians. Its homemade Slovakian spirit that just does nothing but terrible things to you.

What's shiraz?

It's terrible to have to prohibition but not the tommy guns!
So, how do you find it? Speakeasies? Illegal import? You cross the borders with it?

(IIRC you live in one of the *stan countries, right?)

and what about non-alcoholic drinks?

I love tea, especially liquorice tea. Without any sugar.

tea...earl grey..hot

Now I'm drinking camomile. That, with sugar.
