Name your poison

[BBQ Chef]

So what do you like to drink?


I like Bourbon when I am having alcohol. After a day of snowboarding, a nice Magic Hat is excellent.

[Tommy D]

Water/juice to start!

But after hydration ...

Scotch, or Bourbon. Nothing younger than 12 years. Definitely neat.

[jeremiah]

Nothing like an Otter Creek Copper Ale, followed by single malt scotch, neat. Though some of the small batch bourbons go down very nicely also.

Jeremiah

[Neil Gendzwill]

Beer, scotch, rum.

[zachp13]

I agree, nothing like a top shelf tequila.

[Howard Roark]

Wine and Cheese - or beer and brats - Guess it depends if I am at Beaver Creek or A-Basin:)

[bobdea]

good tequila anejo or a really good mezcal on more mellow nights Belhaven scotch ale in the can (with the nitrogen cartridge) or newcastle brown ale
I love dark rum with some fruit juice too
and if I really want to get crazy absinthe

[Ed Tostanoski]

not that i like it, but i usually find my self drinking either beast or 151.

[m.fi]

Some small batch bourbon... lately it is the Woodford reserve.

I love the Woodford Reserve. Basil Haydens is also real nice. Yesterday when I started this thread I was sipping on a new OUTSTANDING discovery. 15 year old Old Rip VanWinkle. 107 proof and smooth. I think it is nicer than the Bookers.

[m.fi]

Ahhh, Old Rip has done me well. It was a Valentine's Day gift. I don't know what the implication there is, but a fine gift.:D

[Tommy D]

The MaCallan Cask Strength is also very strong: 58.4% alc/vol. Smooth though. And very tastey, especially if cut a wee bit with a coupla' cubes.

Was sipping some Woodford by the fire the other night...mmmmmm. Smokey! :)

[Mellow Yellow]

lately... Buffalo Bills Pumpkin Ale

[CarvCanada]

Quebec spruce beer

not like beer, refreshing, natural spruce taste, champagne type aftertaste, MMM!

[D-Sub]

absinthe

[outsider]

choice #1: A 40 of prety much anything
Choice #2: Some mid-grade scotch
Choice #3: Good ol' Jack Daniels

but then again, im under 21 so that mentioned above is in speculation only...;)

[Chubz]

1. Pint Glass of half Jack, half Coke.
2. Pint Glass of any top shelf Vodka (except grey goose) boycotting it. And Red Bull, although the new Low-Carb Monster is very similar and you get twice as much for the same price.
3. Maudite- Beer with the Viking Ship on the front. about 9.5% alc.

Many others but those are the staples

I'll get you the recipe for Chocolate Cake shots.

:p

[Fleaman]

I like Beer. any kind as long as there is lots of it and its cold. I prefer local micobrewery beers. Like Naramata Nut Brown and Black Widow.

I have a drinking problem though, I can't seem to get it down fast enough. ;)

[Art]

Must be that time of year again! PBR in the garage, Oban in the bucket, and anything else thats free.

[NMU Alpine Boarder]

Whatever happened to good ole fashoned hot chocolate:confused: ;) ?

I like to sit down with a cold brew, or a good vodka.

[knoch]

I on the other hand, have never had a sip of alcohol in my life.

[ncermak]

sounds like my drinking team has a snowboarding problem...

Snowblower shots:

1 part good brandy
1 part rumpleminz
1 part Bailey's
1 part heavy cream

Chill and shoot...

[gsmolik]

Ale, and since I brew my own I prefer my Pale ale loaded
with lots of Columbus, Chinook & Centennial Hops!! or 90 Minute
IPA from Dogfishead brewery!:p

[Aisling]

someone tell me what's in that?

[mirror70]

I'm a fan of stout, although after a day of riding I often find myself with a few bottles of the Otter Creek Stovepipe Porter. I'm also a fan of all of the Unibroue brews (Raftman, Maudite, La Fin Du Monde, Eau Benite, etc). When I can get my hands on it, I also drink BHBC's Cadillac Mountain Stout.

[Vahur]

I recommend to avoid tequila, if you don't want to get into hospital:
http://uk.news.yahoo.com/040401/323/eq2v2.html
:D

[Jack Michaud]

Gosling's Black Seal rum and Barritt's ginger beer. Only Barritt's will do. None of these Stewart's or Jamaican immitations. And ginger ale does not cut it.

I know people love it, but I really can't do Scotch, at all. For slow sipping, give me the blue agave Tequila, fine rum (Bacardi 8 is real nice), or a straight up dry vodka Martini with olives.

[Allee]

I'm stoked to hear that not only are you guys a great bunch of people, but also a bunch of pisshead tequila drinkers as well. I'm gonna have to make it to some of those camps next season...
Vlad, shame about the Swede, but some people just canna handle their mezcal. She should try some of the stuff my boss bought me back from Mexico - now that's kosher tequila, and it kicks like a mule ...

And yes - I definitely save the T for afters - I can't board when I'm sober. Although maybe I should give it a try - my heelsides might improve!

[CarvCanada]

Chubz how'd you know about Maudite! AHAH I love that beer. It means "damn" in quebec french! Then there's also my local "Onze" or, 11%, or of course, "Esti" which is actually a very smooth and high quality brew of 13%

[CarvCanada]

wow you're all drinking my quebec beers! they're really good eh!

[joecarve]

diet coke

[knoch]

Mountain Dew, goes good with about 4 hours of sleep a night

I like a nice Stout to start, but then small batch Bourbon is great. I put Bookers in flasks for all my groomsmen a few years back, that turned out to be a lot of fun at the reception :)

[Aisling]

hey strider you stole my sig
;) hahahha

[pokkis]

Koff III :D

[slam]

Mmmmm

anything that says "100% de agave and lacks a worm."

[underdog]

fall\winter: dark beer (sam' winter/ or brooklin black choc. stout)
spring/summer: lighter fare and gin
year 'round: captain and ginger, myers and tonic, molsin canadian(served at most dives) capn 'n red bull
favorite shot: chilled jager, chilled baileys close second
i'll also pretty much drink nail polish remover:)

chris

[Todd Stewart]

Killkenny if I want to relax and Bacardi 151 or Mongoose/Tuborg if i'm drinking for other reasons.

[Marilyn Cambers]

bret, cc, rikki & bobby????

For the weaklings they get sedatives, but for the big tough guys they definitely get the cyanide!!

[Dan]

Not that I mind thinking about/talking about/drinking favorite alcoholic beverages, but this topic is a repeat from last spring. Someone should take a survey and see if increased alcohol consumption is really correlated to closure of area ski hills.

Nice to see so many high-end tequila drinkers here. Yum, there's a taste that I'm glad to have acquired.

Otherwise, it's gotta be the NW microbrews. Bridgeport's Ebenezer (winter ale) is a classic, and so is Rogue Dead Guy. On the Canadian beers, I'll see your Maudite, and I'll raise you a "Fin du Monde." Something that tastes that good has to be good for you, right?

If you like La Fin du Monde, I'd recommend giving the DogFish Head "Raison D'être" a try as well. Slightly lower alcohol content (8% vs 9%) but the taste has a similar character.

Shred,
Nice pic!!! That's from Macayo's right? That Sombrero is pretty deep and can hold lots of tequila...um...I mean margaritas. I've got the Senor and Senorita.

My poison...

At home... I love the Grey Goose or Cuervo 1800.

When I'm west of the Rockies, I'm like a possessed crack addict and can't function until I have my Deschutes Black Butte Porter.

[BraveGnuWorld]

UH HUH. That describes me pretty well too. And I'm almost always west of the rockies. Their Mirror Pond ale ain't bad for summer either. But when there's a chill in the air, ain't nuthin like my sweet smooth Black Butte. Once you've gone Black, you'll never go back. :D

[Enzo]

My wife is on vacation in Bend this week. I'm hoping that she leaves all of her clothes behind and loads up the suitcase with nothing but Deschutes. :D

[Chubz]

MAudite is served at alocal pub called Which Brew that these two Wicken chix own and are hot. They keep it in the cooler b/f poularity.

The guy with PBR. I thought tah only happened in Pittsburgh, PA. WE use to visit the neighborhood garage refrigerators as teenagers.

What geos with a Magic hat? Another Magic Hat...#9

Lastly, Chimay Red, although pricey, it is a good celebration beer.

Check next post for a drinkin challenge my buddies and i are doing for the hell of it. then again after reading the threads,most of you should have no problem with it.

BEER CAN Challenge Rules: These can be adjusted for you professional drinkers out there of course***.

-6 member team meets at designated house and plan to stay over. I encourage drinking but not stupidity.
-Purchase 4 cases of beer of diff types light to dark and heavy(ale to stoudts)
-Each team member must consume 16 beers (4 of each type) each in 8 hours period*** refer above. Cut the time limit or up the amount of beer.
-Anyone can drink a case of Coors Water or I mean light.
-The type cannot be repeated on followup events.
-OH the last rule have the girls schedule their night the same night somewhere else. Unless they are on the team.

Let meknow how it goes. WE are looking to make this a semiannual event. looking to set additional rules that would get you messed up worse besides liquor. Maybe shotgunning or funneling.

Let me know how it goes and any changes you try.

Greg

[Speed Demon]

Well actually im not near old enough to drink so id like to rock some coke or iced tea after a days snowboard...:D ;) :p

Thanks for the rec - if I can find it out here, I'll definitely give it a try.

Chubz, here's a drinking game for you. My college track team ran an event called "The Beer Mile." It goes like this: get five beers and go to a track. Chug a beer, run a lap, chug a beer, run a lap, chug a beer, run a lap, chug a beer, run a lap, and then chug your final beer. No time penalties for throwing up, though of course it will slow you down.

I seem to recall that a friend of mine on the women's track team turned in a sub-8 minute beer mile, but even given our heavy drinking/high tolerance in college, that seems impossible to me now. I'll have to look into this.

Oh, and Beer Miles are sometimes followed by "Naked 4x400s", but that's a whole other, much more sordid story.

[ncermak]

Take an old ski (200+cm)...epoxy 4 pint glasses to the ski, equally spaced...fill with beer...line up fpur guys (girls work too)...consume as a team.

Also can be done as a shotski...

its a bitch to clean but...

-Noah

"The only good ski is a brewski"

[Chubz]

Dan
THanks for the idea on the Beer Mile. Only a few problems:
-you havent seen the guys I drink with, no runnning involved except Rick who is a 52 year old health freak.

-I haven't done any consistent running since playing rugby in college 12 years ago. And I guarantee you we ran further during a game than a mile, of course with a keg on the sidelines for hydration. I stay in shape at the local gym on the EFX, stair climber and SPin classes but they dont permit coolers or kegs at the gym.

-Since some is coming maybe just watch track and field on the TV and drink for each lap completed.

-Lastly, I love a girl that can hold her own but sometimes the good ones scare me if they can drink more than me.


With respect to the Brewski, how about a boardski? For initiation on the rugby team, rookies had to do cleet chug, by filling another rookie's shoe with beer and chugging it at the end of the game. Maybe do some boot chugs.

Later
Greg

[ncermak]

as for the boardski...unless you want to sacrifice a perfectly good board...have at it. Probably will limit the number of participants to 3, and it does lose the double meaning aspect. to be accurate, it would have to be a brewboard...

[Tommy D]

Mmm... I had a "la fin du monde" once when I visited Hull, Canada. Tastey, but not as tastey as an Extreme Onction from "the Devil" microbrew at Tremblant. :D

Of course I'm not a beer drinker; only when I can't get my hands on a nice bourbon or scotch.

That would be true, except that I had that sig up about 2 years ago when I joined on the old format forum boards :) I think I beat you to it :D

[MishyMawooh]

In the winter I go for a nice smooth Black Velvet. Cosmos come out in the spring.

Tequilla always gets the job done too, but it's more of a summer time drink for me.

[Jack1080]

Add 15 beers of your choice (light beers go best)
1 bottle of vodka
about 5-6 glasses of lemonade.


Great as a jungle juice for a party.

[Scotty Pumpkins]

im thinking petes wicked oktoberfest........too bad i cant get any EVER, unless im willing to travel 300 miles for it.

Stoli -o.......warm

then of course theres always double bag......my beer of choice when im riding in VT.

[mtnken]

Who's got the Jack??

[C5 Golfer]

Dihydrogen Monoxide with a little crushed ice.

after that it would be Ichiban draft with Sushi.
