I went to Deep Ellum with my best friend around age 16 and we drank those at some permissive bar before getting found out. He insisted that was the drink, so we kept getting rounds. Then they got uncomfortable and we left.

I can’t think of any other time I had one, or saw them mentioned even. The 7&7 is an overlooked drink.

In fact, Seagram’s connotes nothing either. Here’s where we need a Seinfeld episode or something, just to break Seagram’s out of obscurity, explore it.

 I no longer drink. Well, only on occasion. When I do it’s always boubon and coke. Sometimes bourbon on the rocks, but usually mixed with coke. Nothing fancy. Now and then I’ll have a gin and tonic just because that’s what I used to drink in high school. Nostalgia, I guess.

60 shots of beer in 60 minutes. Gets you exactly 5 beers in an hour and no risk of puking. Nice buzz and not as full…….

Keep in mind, we are all within 5 years of each other, and going to small bars in NE or KS. I was maybe 15 when we 1st started doing this. As I was the younger nephew, I often didn’t pay either…always good.

PoP was especially interesting after pepperoni pizza.

BTW, PoP stands for Proof of Puke.

Sort of – I was a much heavier drinker when I was probably 19-21. I drank Goldschlager until That One Night and now I can’t stand it. Even smelling it now makes my throat burn.

I drank pretty much everything then – the club I was going to (The Church) wasn’t too hard-assed about it. There was also a bar near the tech call center I was working at the time (Stream LBJ) that didn’t care too much, so when we all got off work we’d go over there for dollar margarita night and whatever else we wanted. White Russians were good, and I also liked Long Island tea, and of course since I’m a girl I had to try a Screaming Orgasm and Sex on the Beach.

Now, though, I pretty much stick to beer – mostly Shiner, Fat Tire, etc. For a cheap fast drunk I do Corona. In retrospect, this is what I should have done on Drunk GDT Night instead of Shiner.

Rum and whatever or just a good rum and a glass.

I might have a beer or Margarita from time to time, but even that is fairly rare. I drank my lifetime limit in my 20s.

I’ve got a two huge papers to write, and you guys are making it difficult to simply go home and work.

Favorite drink: Bourbon and coke, Scotch and coke. I’m a simple man to please. White Russians are great from time to time. I just remember back in the early days of college when you had to be satisfied with whatever you could get your hands on. As far as beer goes, I’d prefer a Boston Lager, Guinness or Dos Equis. But again, I’m not too picky. If I’m going with a cheap brew its Miller Lite.

As far as drinking games go, my favorite is either Kings or watching some shitty movie with a made up game. For those who don’t know, Kings is where you take a deck of cards and spread it out over a table. You go around in a circle and draw a card, with each one having a specific meaning. Some are simple (2 = You, 3 = Me), but its the other ones that I enjoy. Categories, Rhyme Time, “The Question Master”. Nothing like dropping a category like “Members of the Wu Tang Clan” or “World Series MVPs” on a group of unsuspecting girls.

Cuba Libre por favor. Bourbon and coke is a sound fallback. I too had a White Russian arc. I went thru a brief Southern Comfort and Coke phase which confused several bartenders. I hate Gin and Tonics but I love Martini’s — they’re lethal shroom-killing olive-hearted Devils. Tequila shots will never be turned down. Never had a 7&7 in my life.

Years ago. Used to have an overcapacity problem (not knowing when to stop). Because of long work days in remote locations, early morning (4 – 5 am) and late night (11 pm – 2 am) were opportunity times. Favorite in the morning; a half pint of vodka, glass of OJ, three scrambled, bowl of grits and a steak or chop. Straight vodka at night. Oh yeah .. the reason I quit, after marriage, checked my booze cost. It was more each month than my base housing allowance/deduction. Quit cold that same night.

there’s not a bottle of Tuaca in the door of the frig, there’s something amiss.

2 oz. of chilled liquid happiness. Best way to start off a night of RnR on the back porch.

Everybody likes em, even (or maybe especially) the amateurs.

I used to drink alot of Scotch, but have found I vastly prefer Irish Whiskey to any sippin liquor. Bushmills, Jameson, it doesn’t have to be anything high dollar, like with single malt Scotch, and go whisper water in the next room. Honey. But that’s the kind of drinking that’s best done when you’re sitting in the same general location of where you plan to be sleeping that night.

Mostly, I’m a vino tinto man though.

And our favorite drinking game as a pubescent was always “Indian.”

We Texans thumb our noses at your carpetbagging little dandy of a drinking game.

Pfft.

Circle of Death…..lay 52 cards face down..take turns flipping them over….red you drink and black you give the drink away. Number on the cards is number of drinks. The game doesnt last very long.

and Bourbon is the best drink in the world.

Macallan 15 or Newcastle

I love whiskey rocks and whiskey water, prefer Gentleman Jack, Makers, or Bulliet… but I’m broke so those usually don’t occur. Working my way to scotch

“Good people drink good beer” – HST
I am a VERY good person. Beer is a passion of mine, I’ve got some fermenting at home right now

Drinking games:

Century club we played was 100 beers in 3 days time. Impossible, honestly. Most on this board would consider me to have a fairly strong drinking problem, and neither I or anyone I regularly hang out with can complete the task. My buddy Dylan got really close once, 92 beers. Sickness

Caps is the ultimate “social” drinking game

WURSTFEST TONIGHT BITCHES!!

I have a bus picking up 42 people from my house in Austin at 7pm tonight to take us all to New Braunfels to celebrate Wurstfest… our own little mini-Oktoberfest (which I attended in 2007 and it was the greatest party I’ve ever been to, Germans bring it). The bus is a tradition we’ve had going for 4 years now, and it truly is a spectacle. Someone typically gets left at the festival and multiple people puke on the bus on the way back to Austin… good old fashioned fun.

Whiskey Sours. Good shit.

current drink of choice: jack and ginger… more specifically gentleman. use to be single barrell but times are tough. i also brew my own beer from time to time.

college/alcoholic drink of choice: beer with a limit. never beast or old milwaukee or anything thing else rated below bud light. 5 minutes before the nite officially went over board the friends and i would gather for a shot of “liquid heroine”… jeager, goldschlager and 151… it really shouldn’t be served to anyone unless they are stripping varnish off of furniture. we would take that and from that point on, no one could be held responsible for anything they did or said to each other…

game: century club was fun. more a social thing since an unlimited number of people could play, we added a rotating toast before every shot. name game was a good one, say a name of someone famous, the next person has to say the name of someone else famous who’s first name starts withthe same letter as the previous persons last… so 1) “keanu reeves” 2) “reggie jackson” 3) “jeff hostetler”… if you say a name with double that letter like “mickey mantle” then the direction changes… its tought because the entire time you are thinking of a name you are drinking… you can tap out or say a wrong name and you get a strike, three strikes and you are out… it can go on for hours and eventually gets down to two people, who are saying names and drinking simultaneously… fun fun.

thats one drink ive yet to ever successfully make.

I’m a big gin and tonic fan for a number of reasons (simplicity, ease of construction, sip-ability). And yes, I do discriminate when it comes to gin. None of this Segram’s stuff; gin is the kind of drink where you go big or go home. Currently, I’m falling madly in love with Tanqueray Rangpur.

And you know what really grinds my gears? Diet tonic water. Tonic water, at most, has three calories; do you really need a diet version? And a lot of times, that’s all a store will have! That’s unforgivable.

As for drinking games, when I was in college (waaaaay back in May), my favorite game we played was Thumper. It’s in the movie “Beer Fest”, and you can find a rundown of the rules here. It’s a riot.

Home: I drink wine. I’m a wine snob. Not necessarily expensive, but must be good. There are good inexpensive wines. There are no good cheap wines.

Nice Bar: Gin & Tonic or Vodka & Tonic. Good gin or vodka with quality tonic and lime makes an amazing drink

Cheap bar / free drinks at a casino: Whiskey Sour. Need the sweet sour mix to cancel out whatever low quality liquor they put in there.

Painful wedding while in college that I never want to re-live: 7&7

Out with a group (i.e., happy hour): Beer. No well drinks before 8pm.

Eating: depends entirely on food.

this thread has really taken off.

It appears I’m one of the few LSBers that doesn’t drink. I actually have never had a sip of alcohol. Around here that gets me called a mormon.

Favorite drinks- SoCo Manhattan, Bombay Sapphire Martini, Dirty Martinis, Bud light, and Tequila!

Favorite drinking games- Flip Cup, Beer Pong, and Asshole.

2 ice cubes.

1/4th jack

Pretty much stick to beer. Used to drink Bud Light but have switched to XX this year. A night of 10-12 of those is a good time.

If I do liquor its crown and 7 or crown and coke. Although crown nights have been known to lead to physical injuries :)

scotchy scotch scotch. here it goes down, down into my belly.

I’m a Coors Original (yellow-dog) or Silver bullet drinker usually, with love to the Mighty mighty DOS (lager, green bottle).. I LOVE Tanqueray & tonic. Its the only gin I drink, period. Seagrams, Bombay Sapphire, and Beefeater are pure shit on the palate. I like vodka, but Tito’s is pure greatness. I like sour tastes, so i drink it with grapefruit, aka… greyhound (or salty dog) and a good old white russian or captain morgan’s & coke ain’t bad either.
“you make one helluva caucasian there, jackie”

At a very degenerate Halloween party, after performing several questionable acts for a free drink, the barkeep made me a bacon shot for my last freebie. I’d never heard of it, and I really thought he was joking. The shot appears on the bar, I slam it….and almost went to my knees.

After a few nauseating minutes clutching the bar, said barkeep high fived me because he said I was the only one he’d ever seen to down one and not spit it up, or yak on the spot.

I Win???

I took it to 264 minutes with 264 shots. Got a napkin with all the check marks, and 2 signed witness on it as well.

Of course, that was about 7 years ago in college, where I then went to a bar and took a girl home….now? Theres no way I could handle the power hour…

Favorite Drink these days are Crown Rocks & Makers Mark n Sprite

Peanut butter and Rum.

and I like blowing bubbles in my milk.

But the last time I went out the bartender offered to take care of me and she made me two De-Railers.

Those worked.
