Recently switched to Colt 45 High Gravity since it's .4% more alcohol and a dollar less a six pack. Tastes like the color grey marinated in urine though.

After a couple, taste don't matter. Might be better off buying a handle of cheap vodka and using your favorite mixer if getting drunk is your only goal. Might be more bang for your buck. 1.75L of a cheap one will run you around $8.

maybe I'm misunderstanding you, I thought natty daddies was natural ice?

I've told him this many times but he can't take the taste of liquor

Step your money game up and liquor tastes way better than steel reserve. You drink coffee bat? Sambuca and black coffee is great

Nah, they're different beers - both owned by Anheuser-Busch though (naturally). Natural Ice is like 5% abv. Natty Daddy is 8%. Both are cheap ass beers that taste like swill.

Aint that what mixers are for? Bat could just put in more mixer and eventually the taste of the liquor will be extremely mild - and youll still get drunk quicker than beer. It aint the manliest drink for sure, but mixing diet cranberry juice with vodka will get you drunk quick and will be less calorie laden than a lot of beers. I think they call that a cape cod.

Agreed. Four Roses Single Barrel is my all time favorite bourbon and drinking it neat is an absolute pleasure to the senses. As for cocktails, I don't usually get too fancy. One of my favorites is a godfather (of the bourbon + amaretto variety) on the rocks. Tastes like a mixture of vanilla, nuts, and a bit of coffee - a bit of a heavy drink but I find it quite refreshing.

Yes, I remember drinking that stuff: tastes like the can it comes in.

Most decent beers in England and Mexico are around 4%, which I consider a comfortable strength to enjoy, but measure how how drunk you're getting.
In England they sell Carlsburg Special Brew which used to take people by surprise as it was 9% proof. In fact, I think the government forced the brewery to reduce the alcohol content, as too many people were thinking,"Well it's just beer, how strong can it be?"

No kidding. I'm also buying the Carlsberg Special Brew in Malaysia, it used to be 8.8 now it's down to 6.5%. I thought it was just because it's a Muslim country and they're doing their best to prohibit alcohol in general.

In Italy I used to drink the Moretti Double Malt at 7%, Duvel is at 8.5% and is great, most trappist beers are at 7-8, anything more than 9% starts tasting like medicinal alcohol.

Next thing you know he'll be straining the alcohol out of shoe polish with a nylon.

The Batlord · 02-04-2021, 03:11 PM

Nah I do it like the Soviets in Afghanistan: spread the shoe polish on a piece of bread, toast that ****, then scrape off the shoe polish and eat the bread.

I do not like liquor. I makes my throat try to force it out. And getting drunk quicker isn't really my goal. I like chillin with a steadily growing buzz. Normal beer is simply insufficient for what I want out of it and if I drank enough of it quickly enough to get that it would feel like work and I'd probably piss my bed.
