Title: Your tipple... at a house party?
Post by: AbbeySider on May 01, 2009, 02:35:32 PM
Im a fan of getting a crate of Miller and a few lemons. Adding the lemon to the bottles as you would add lime to Corona. Nice.

Thinking about changing it for a few cans of cold Guinness though... maybe a bit heavy?

Do not attempt to hold the crate of Guinness whilst drinking a can, why not set it on the floor to lighten the load?

I would normally go for a box of Bud.

Last year for a barbie I had a few small barrels (5L) of Grafenwalder weissbier I got in Lidls. Put them in the deep freeze for a few hours first. They have an in-built tap. Bliss.

A mixture of good stuff and cheap stuff, maybe a few bottles of rochefort 6 and 8 to start, maybe a few IPAs then onto the tescos premium lager which despite being reasonably cheap knocks the pants off the usual commercial lagers.

Mine's a box of bud now!

Ah now how to judge your carry-out to a nicety?

There are 3 important factors:

1.) Time: How long do you have to get nicely plastered? If your short then has to be spirits. A half bottle can be schlonked in half an hour for efficient results. If thats a bit risky then wine. If youve all day stick to the beer.

2.) Money: What can you afford to drink? If your strapped for cash get te Tescos and take advantage of whatever pish is on offer. Frosty jacks cheap cider is an budget option but the resultant hangover is hellacious. If your a bit tight for time and money then a couple of bottles of rosé can be put away quickly and cheaply.

3.) Next-day: Do you have to get up early, or have a match the next day? Light beer if so but depends on the person, If your one of these people that can drink vodka without a bad hangover, go for it. They say dont mix your drinks and this has a big bearing on this factor.

When none of these are a problem I like to go for bottles of Corona, though also like Sol, Brahma and Grolsch. If you are eating then Cobra is your man as it is very smooth.

But to be fair, me old standard is now a box of bud

Lads when I mentioned chang earlier I was referring to buckfast, bit more than 6.5%!! chang is one of many slang-names for buckfast in lurgan!

Usually a 6 pack of beer (Coors, Bud etc) and a half bottle of vodka.

In my student days, used to be able to drink a 10 glass of vodka before going out, usually a few times a week. Those where the days  ;D

If I have a bit extra £ to spend, would usually push the boat out a bit and get a bottle of Morgans Spiced Rum. Great with ice, coke and a bit of lime squeezed into it.

There's lot's of variations like "kick it over the bar" or whatever you want.  I don't wish to be associated with your banal ramblings nor to have you take credit for my sage-like words of advice, and I'm sure you feel the same so at least try to do something to differentiate one another.

In the day I would bring a bottle of Buckie and 12 Tennants and 40 Snouts- doubt if I could drink that now. Once at a party I drunk the usual before tucking into a bottle of bushmills I had bought the host. I ended up walking down the M1 towards Lurgan at 4.30am-no idea how a got there. One other chap at the party ended up spending the night wrapped up in a carpet in the coalshed!! Crazy Days and Crazy Nights!!
