Alcohol's Appreciation Thread

What could we do without it?
It's the only time you get to discover the other side of yourself. Well infact you don't need to be drunk to appreciate alcohol.
There are plenty of mixes you can do with certain drinks.

I'm a big fan of cocktails, however I don't buy them often when I've gone for a night out as the prices of them seem to be ridiculous. Some places just make you a colourfull drink, others mix it properly with crushed fruit - how it should be done!

I know most of you are beer fans, it's all you ever go on about! Stop being boring and try something new

Any tips to a nice unique drink?

Some people drink their own Urine.... but im not sure if its straight or with lemonade?

A port and lemon. 

Isn't there still a drink called mad dog 20 20?

Aye Scully was ace. Wonder what Mooey drinks these days?

It was a bit of a nasty one that wasn't it. Cheap and nasty. And probably made us all dance like a gimp at the school discos. 

I do, when the Stellas run out 

You drink your own urine with lemonade then go to Redkenny's when my Stella's run out??

I'd review that post Smiggs

can't beat a good jaegerbomb!  shot of jaegermeister in half pint of redbull and just down it! dont know if its popular in liverpool but its a firm nightclub favourite over here, a few them will really get your dancing shoes moving!!

Here's a nice one I discovered in France:



Delicious in all formats, on tap, bottle or can, a fantastic mixture of beer and tequila! Add a twist of lemon juice to give it an extra kick!
Over here you can even get a mini-barrel of 5 litres for about a tenner, I have to say that the prices of alcohol over here are very reasonable! 
Equally appreciated by ladies as well as blokes as it is quite sweet, and it's strength of 5.9% hits the spot nicely!

Any other fans out there?

Sounds good that one Ayrton 77, might give that a try

Yep, it's cracking! Don't know why they don't import it in the UK really.Can't beat a nice bottle of that one and a game of pool!

Yep, 2 of the lads in work will drink nothing else !!  Haven't tried it myself yet, but will make the effort 

Two bars sell it in Liverpool - Bar Cava and Dingos (not sure where that one is)  its also available to buy on line from

I've always thought Wine was just posh Cider to me.

On that subject about Cider.



That is the most refreshing thing ever.

Tommo put me on to Magners ages ago. Not a bad drop ice cold Court. Nice one.

I love Magners Cider.....it's lovely, a really good bottle of wine.....you can't beat it and I love Champagne, real champagne, all the bubbles go up your nose 

It's got to be ice cold too....I agreeeeee Ken all cold drinks should be cold, and I mean cold, I have one of those big American  fridge/freezers and I always have lots of drinks in there nice and chilled

Magners? Go away you women!


All about the Southern Comfort



Jim Beam



And a few shots of this - Sambuca Black

Tommo put me on to Magners ages ago. Not a bad drop ice cold Court. Nice one.

It's the only thing I order at the pubs now.  I've lost interest in the old Fosters, but Coors has taken over.  Probably the best beer ever.

Are you even old enough to drink young chap?

Looking old enough and being old enough are two different things my friend

No unfortunately.  18 in May. 

Party Animal - Oh yes! But tonight I am retired!

Cool, you'll be able to watch us beat the mancs in the CL final with a pint in your hand! Get yourself down to Walkabout sir!

I'm after Real next round.  Then AC Milan for a bit of revenge.  Then Barcelona in the final

It will be a special moment when I have my first 'legal' pint.

Well I think I deserve a pint anyway - just made 2001 posts

The 21st century is here

Back on topic, yeh I think we'll beat Inter, then get Chelsea in the quarters, then Arsenal in the semi's and knock them out.. and then beat the mancs in the final! How sweet would that be?

PS.. where's MsGerrard? Think she's collapsed

Sweet.  It would just feel like the FA Cup though

Any way I think MsGerrard has had a few tonight!  I've been out to a social club tonight and had a coke! Driving Lesson at half 11 in the morning tomorrow.

Love that excuse.  "Sorry I'm driving". 

Course I haven't collasped.....I'm alive and kicking

I used to drink Southern Comfort, with lots of ice and lemonade, nice drink

Now I like Stella, Magners, Wine, Champers. Vodka & Orange and whatever else is going really, I'm not that fussy, but I don't like rum, or things like that.

I bet I was more drunk on saturday night then you were on friday night! Only difference is I could control what was being said

My observation! British & American beer; in fact, all western beer are so light, you could as well have been drinking water, be it Carlberg, Strongbow, Heiniken etc .

I tasted the best Lemonade shandy at the Angus Steakhouse on Leicester square.

You want to taste a very good wine? Try Muscato Wine.

Leicester Square is a nice place, but far too expensive for my likings...
I went out last Sat nite, drank Vodka Redbull, Sambuca, Bacardi & Coke (yuk) and Becks with lime added to it! Oh of course I had a Southern Comfort with Lemonade also!

Had some 50% vodka and coke on saturday night in my home before I went out haha.
Yeh the 50% Smirnoff Vodka was 8 years old, probably making it 55 - 60% in strenght! I didn't drink too much of it, but it totally wrecked me

When I got to the pub me mate bought me another drink, think it was redbull with Vodka. But there was far too much vodka in the redbull, think barmaid tried to give me alcohol poisioning

I'm going out again next Saturday, still got like 4/5th of that bottle of Vodka left so will not be spending much, just drinking much

By the way it is Export Strenght. What does that mean?

All this alcohol won't be doing your fitness any good you know  

Not sure what Export Strength means....I'm not an expert on alcohol

One night on the piss vs four days of exercise... hmm?

I'm ok thanks

Had two JD & cokes today.. haven't had it for weeks (they didn't have it on holiday) .. was heaven!

Who deleted my legal post? n*b!

Oi so is there jaegar-bombs across the pond or what?  they are the tits, where is my head, i dont know because i had too many

I LOVE BEER!

Oi so is there jaegar-bombs across the pond or what?  they are the tits, where is my head, I dont know because I had too many

I'll get a few people onto Jaeger-bombs, I'm sure they'll spread quickly! I introduced the many varieties of After-Shock mixes when I was a bar-keep on County Road so people listen to me!

Desperado's is a legend of a drink, but isn't too nifty the day after! Slice of lime in the top in the Cava! Ten of those, and Bob's your Aunty!

Coors is a much better pint than Fosters! Went the Whetherspoons the other day on the way to the derby and ordered a Fosters (not exactly lined with Stella moneys al momento! ) plus I was at the beginning of a bit of a bender! It was just a gassy mess! Next up, Coors! Fooking winner! Shots followed, and I was in bed at ten after chatting sh*t to me mate about every car on Gran Turismo!

Weatherspoons on Walton rd mate? You should have sacked that and made your way up to the Sandon.

Guess what. I actually had a pint of Carslberg before the game yesterday.  Smiggs will kick my arse when she finds out!  The bar was too packed but there was a tiny bar just by the steps at the back selling Carslberg. So I opted for that and it didn't taste like dish water for once. Might have something to do with having a good few Stellas the night before though....

Anyway, knowing the Sandon before a game, they probably would have 'ran out' of Stella again...

They ran out before the Inter game! MsG weren't best pleased but we managed on Miller!

I wanted to get down that end but the couple of mates I was with were more interested in getting served at the bar than getting a good atmosphere in! : I'll be down there before the Arsenal match though, f*ck em!

Can't do regular Carlsberg! Export is decent like, especially with that sexy 60 bottles for £20 in Bargain Booze! I was sh*t faced the other night, chatting bubbles! : I'm on Carling at the minute! It's like piss but I'm not up for a bender, the weekend was rough enough!

On the Anfield derby day? Referee!!! You should have had a word with them mate.

Yeah, they've been conveniently running out of Stella there for a while now. Might just take a few cans with me next time.

I know, idiots! I proved them right when a load of knobheads kicked off! Blueshite an' all, naturally! :

Yeah you always see people with cans hanging round outside the Sandon! There's the Bargain Booze just down the road though, they must make a f*cking killing on matcday! They certainly did when me brother moved into Old Barn Road round the corner!

I've given up me old whiskeys and spirits for the more larger and cheaper pints, no wonder why I seem the same all the time. Four pints on Sat nite, thats a good 1000 calories.

I'm going back to my whiskey ways soon, but it's soooooo expensive... oh and I'm listening to George Michael on Mellow Magic haha how sad!

I like double vodka redbull yum yum but it costs £8 odd in the clubs!

It's a weird but alert kind of drunk, when you have a good few of them I find. If I'm going out then I'll usually have one or two before getting a taxi. Otherwise, I'll only have it when I'm out when on holiday.

You get a few alchy's down the top end of Walton rd as well don't you. Up by where the bingo place used to be, by the pitz. Probably all everton fans as well. 
As for that Bargain Bozze mate, I think the money from that one probably funded all the other Bargain Booze offies around Liverpool to open up!

Mate, I don't get hangovers or anything like that while drinking this stuff. It's magic juice to me. Yeah the extreme amount of caffine is bound to keep you alert! Beer makes me really dopey, legless and tired!

I think different types of alcohol give you different effects, beer for sure makes me feel rotten, but then again its a cheaper way to get pissed like pet

You a secret geordie Ra?  Yeah it affects people in different ways. I hate too much caffine. But then the caffine probably halts any hangover for you when you have it. A few of my mates are the same. They'll only have a few beers then they'll hit the vodka tricks!

That Millers was alright though wasn't it Joey......not as good as Stella though

I'll be down the sandon next Tuesday and I'll be there nice and early.....haven't got to wait for someone this time he he

Get me supply of Stella in ready...will be in there before and after the game..........as, yippee....not going home after the match, so in for a good piss up especially if we've won..........well you gotta celebrate haven't you

So anyone who wants to meet up before/after..................get in touch for a LFC reds forum binge

You a secret geordie Ra? 

That made me laugh so much Kenny

I don't really suffer from hangovers, but I do get dehydrated quite easy through alcohol so I always drink loads of water before I go to bed... oh and it's smart to eat something aswell. Isn't it pet?

Hello to my friends across the pond that support the mighty reds, kind of new to this forum here but any ways, good ole english ale big fan now. I love ale but i love the reds a bit more kudos.

Don't EVER drink beer and then wine, they are not a good mix at all.

Don't EVER drink beer and then wine, they are not a good mix at all.

Good call Ra Ra! From presonal experience I can also advise people not to drink a bottle of white wine that cost £1 from Asda in 10 minutes, then have several pints, then have several whiskies, because the end result is... well you can imagine... Ah, the "crazy days" of university life...

Don't EVER drink beer and then wine, they are not a good mix at all.

Don't ever get smoke pot then drink lots of quantities of alcohol=porcelain friend for the night

I would like to thank Carlsberg for helping me through last night

Do you all drink any American Drafts at all? I'm just wondering

Hate alcohol, sh*t sh*t F***ing sh*t!

Well it's ok to drink it in a sensable way, but go over the top with it and it's your worse enemy!

We all learn from our mistakens!

Alcohol's non-appreciation thread this should be!

well I appreciate it.....I'm going to the pub after work tomorrow coz after the last couple of days I'm had I'm in need of some alcoholic libation!!!!
