What Are You Drinking?

[Hobie-wan]

I like sweet beer the best, but I still just don't enjoy it overall. Again, I don't feel like forcing myself to drink anything just because it seems socially awkward to say "I don't drink beer". I always get tons of backlash from that statement.

If you're getting backlash, you're hanging out with douchenozzles. Who the hell cares if you don't like beer? Shouldn't they be happy you won't steal theirs at their place?

I don't like any beer as it all just tastes like hops to me, which I can't stand. I do like other things from time to time. But If you don't want to drink for personal, religious, or whatever reason, so be it.

Exactly. I think that's the same reason I don't like it. Sweet beers seems to cover up the taste the best, but I can still taste it and (to me) it's just gross. I was starting to get quite social while I was working at Best Buy, and apparently you're not a "real man" unless you love drinking beer. bleh...
Mystery solved. Moving on.

Since these posts got moved to a new thread, I'll just leave this be. I rarely drink and when I do it's Vodka. Just don't see the point in it.

You don't like beer, yet you enjoy drinking paint thinner?

Just plain old 7-Up. I have some Jager and Birthday Cake flavored Vodka though... I do ponder making a drink.

Birthday Cake flavored Vodka

So...this is a real thing now, huh?

Yep. I had the chocolate flavored cake, and it tasted like cake for a fraction of a second then...didn't. I don't remember if I got to the plain cake flavor, I was probably too far gone by then.

Last night I had an array of drinks, but only one of each (well, two of the Honkers):

Goose Island Honker's Ale
Margarita
Mango Mojito


My friends who were the bartenders for the night asked me about the differences in sparkling water, and they dodged a bullet as they almost bought tonic water instead of seltzer. Quick break down:

Tonic water is carbonated water that contains quinine, which adds a sharp citrus taste.
Seltzer water is simply carbonated water.
Club soda is carbonated water with a dash of sodium bicarbonate, aka baking soda.
Perrier is for morons.

Tonic water is a decent drink by itself, IMO.

Club soda is my default drink when dining out. It's usually free, and is an excellent palate cleanser.
