I don't naturally drink too often and when i do, its just soju. I'm turning 21 in 3 days, can anyone recommend me some good alcohol to celebrate my birthday with the girlfriend?

No not extremely heavy alcohol to get her drunk and take advantage of her.

I just want to know what popular good-tasting alcohol to get.

Currently in the states :x so recommend me any drink that i can obtain in the states preferably California?

It's all a matter of taste. How frequently do you drink? What have you tried and liked before?

Captian Morgan is my favourite hard alcohol, for beer... well I'm not really sure what you can find in Korea- however my favourite for casual drinking is Heineken, for getting drunk a beer called Lucky (tastes bad, but is 6% and cheap). Cheers.

Just get some fruity drink. Anything else will not be enjoyable if you don't normally drink.

lol glad to hear that you're turning 21 ... Can't remember my 21st birthday much ... I could only recall a few bottles of Black Label, then some Pringles, couples of guys and gals ... then it's a total blackout for me ... The next thing I could remember was me lying half naked on my couch ... Good time =D

Do you like beer? I know the taste is gross at first but it grows on some people.

Since it's for your girlfriend and you, and I'm assuming you aren't heavy drinkers, I would recommend just going with coolers. You know, 7% alcohol wine coolers or vodka coolers or whatever.

Or just some other fruity drink like Manifesto said.

If you wanna step it up a bit, try "Sour Puss". It's stronger than coolers and stuff, and it doesn't taste as bad as stuff like 40% alcohol vodka etc etc. It's sour though, and pretty sugary. It's not for everybody, but for a guy with a weak stomach like me, I definitely prefer it over vodka or whiskey or anything like that. I'm not even sure if they have it in the US (I live in Canada), but they probably do.

Good tasting is extremely relative when it comes to alcohol. Likely some kind of mixed fruity drink will taste good if you haven't drunken much before. High quality beer will taste awful though.

If i'm spending more than 10$ on a fifth i'll usually get absolut or jager. get some bacardi 151 if you dont want to remember your birthday.

on a side note my paretns recently told me that they heard people are doing 21 shots on their 21st so they told me that they'll get me a bottle of dom perignon as long as i dont do that ^_^

I personally don't enjoy vodka or tequila all that much. I'm a fan of whiskey but it's not really a starter's drink. You could try mixing a cheap(er) whiskey with a cola and see if you like it.

Vodka mixes fairly well with more acidic, citrus juices. Orange juice, cranberry juice, etc. You also have to be aware of the ratio of alcohol to juice. You don't want weak drinks, but you also don't want super strong ones either. There are a number of good websites (like webtender) to check out some recipes.

Yeah, there's lots of easy things. Vodka is most commonly used for that kind of stuff. I guess the question is are you looking to enjoy the alcohol or just get drunk? If you just want to get wasted, you could pound away jack & cokes and never taste the alcohol.

A lot of girls I know drink stuff like this

Pretty much this, if you are not a regular drinker stick to something fruity or subtle.

I would suggest either Malibu and pineapple or fruit tingles for fruity taste suggestion.

2 more possibilities are Black / White Russians 1/2 nips though, if you use 1/2 nips then it is 1/2 a shot of vodka and 1/2 a shot of kahlua, milk for white or coke for black. The kahlua is the stronger taste out of the spirits so the vodka isn't too noticeable, if you want it even weaker use a tall(er) glass (so more coke / kahlua).

Jack and coke is a really solid beginner's drink. The cola helps make the more mature whiskey taste palatable for newer drinkers, and it goes down really smooth. Jack is actually a really nice whiskey though, and you can achieve the "jack and coke" taste with a cheaper whiskey like Old Grandad 100 or Wild Turkey.

Black Label is a decent whiskey that's relatively cheap. Go for Blue Label if you want to go all out and not eat for a month.

The best bet will probably be to just go out to bars and try random mixed drinks.

I personally recommend at least getting a White Russian (Kahlua, vodka, milk) and a Scooby Snack (I have no clue what goes into this one...).

Oh, and since you're celebrating, you HAVE to down the celebratory and obligatory shot of tequila with salt and lime. (:

Haha, I was very tempted to buy a bottle for my 21st.

How much do they go for in the US? I've seen them go for as low as $150 in Korea (at least at the duty-free shops in the airports).

But I guess you're right. I guess I was fantasizing about my own ideal 21st would have been like, and let slip the fact that the OP hasn't tried much beyond soju?

Hmm, I think the lowest I've seen for a bottle was $170. My old room mate used to work for a lawyer who always had a bottle of blue label in his office, so I've tried it a couple of times, including a small glass of the King George V Edition, which was like $600 a bottle. He also has bottles of the 150 and 200 anniversary editions, which are ridiculous. I'm still learning about whiskey though, and most of that stuff is way out of my league in any sense.

if you are gonna drink copious amounts in a short period (like one night from say 7pm to 3am) then drink a tall glass of warm, whole milk prior to the binging. the fat in the milk will slow the absorption of alcohol in your gut. have fun. use protection when drunk hunching.
as far as drinks go. i suggest

black russian:
pour the following into a high-ball glass half filled with ice cubes
2oz vodka
1oz kaluha

mix vodka with diferent fruit juices, it's really sweet and then once you realise you have drinked the whole bottle you should be completely wasted and take advantage of your gf.

edit: wtf 21 years? Here it's 16 :o
edit2: What's the minimum age to have a gun in the US? (I don't wanna start a flame war I just want to know) Probably depends on the state right?

oh, a alcohol thread, always fun.
Let me just ask you americans here something, everytime when i stumble back home drunk and go to play some sc, friends ask me what ive been drinking, and its usually Bamboo ( 50% coca cola 50% red wine) and all my non european friends get grossed out and ask me how the fuck i can drink something like that. So im wondering, does that really sound like such a gross mix to you and why, its a pretty popular drink here and its not like im insane and am drinking the stuff alone, i would say that anyone who has ever drank alcohol here has had it.

Also, 1/3 vodka, 2/3 sprite, squeeze in some lemon juice, enjoy the awesomnes !
And also if you are gonna be doing shots of hard liquor (maybe not now for your 21st, but anytime) try to get a drink of water in between every few shots, it will be a life saver the day after, i know i would have been dying for a week after drinking absinthe if i hadn't drunk water after each glass.

Ah the underage buying of alcohol, reminds me of the days of being 15 and only one of our friends (really tall guy with beard already coming on) could get served and even then only in the dodgiest of shops. Getting drunk is still good, but it seems like it was better then.

Don't listen to any of the previous, (almost) all these guys give terrible advice.

Do not get whisky ffs, especially not good one. Whisky is the most complex alcoholic drink, it takes a lot of experience and trying and indeed skill to really appreciate the taste.
Don't mix whisky either, it's simply barbaric and only serves getting drunk real fast. Generally, never mix with any soda or highly processed non alcoholic drink, the result is guaranteed to be disgusting.

How is your previous experience with alcohol? What did you like? Generally people can say whether they like beer, red wine, white wine etc. If you haven't tried any of it it will most likely taste awful the first time you try it.

If you like wine then I would say that is the obvious choice, especially since you are celebrating just with your girl, right? Get a bottle of good wine, either red or white. Usually with wine you can safely go by price - the higher the better. Good wine can even taste good to people who normally don't drink at all. Only make sure you don't buy expensive just because the wine is old, you won't appreciate the age anyway.

Another good suggestion here is Bailey's, it is very gentle, in fact you almost can't taste the alcohol at all. It is also something your girl will most likely like.

You said you enjoy soju but don't like vodka, which is funny because the two drinks are almost identical. Did you have sweetened soju? That might have made the difference as usually vodka does not have sugar added.
If that is the case a combination of something sweet and vodka might actually be what you are looking for. You can mix vodka with anything and everything, so go by what fruity and sweet taste you like. Go easy on the vodka as too much will make the alcohol dampen your tasting senses and all the sweetness won't matter. An alternative to vodka as the base alcohol is some sort of corn schnapps, but make sure you get a neutral tasting one (the less added the better).

If you go that route I highly recommend you try mixing with jostaberry juice unless you really don't like jostaberries (either with vodka or corn). It makes for a surprisingly well tasting combination. Don't know about the states, maybe you can find a jostaberry drink somewhere but I doubt it.

That Bamboo thing is very good. Here it's called "Katemba" and it's very popular in Angola, not much in Portugal though. I always do that whenever I only got crappy wine. Another popular way of mixing the wine with other drinks is by doing "Sangria" (white wine with sugar, bits of diferent fruits, such as orange etc and some mint leaves) which is really really popular in Portugal and Brazil.
If it's good wine I'm not mixing it with anything, the same goes for whiskey.

They brew that shit 5-8 miles from my house. Till this day I haven't mustard up the courage to even take a sip. I've probably bought two in the passed but refrained from drinking it.

Okay to the OP. I'm going to recommend a few drinks which you might or might not like but I don't know you at all and have no idea what you prefer in alcohol taste.

Recently I have been enjoying mineral water(topo-chico/perrier) with Buchanan's Scotch Whiskey. It's not no bitch drink and you certainly will not encounter a hangover.

Your going to need this for sure. Then get yourself some of these.

If your more into a sweet drink and just wanna get a quick fucked up drink. Pick up some Joose. It's sold in 24oz cans only and its not like a boones farm or mad dog 20/20. I thought it tasted like Hawaiian punch soda.

Just soju. I drink socially. I have a high alcohol tolerance but unfortunately i tried drinking vodka a couple times and find a hard time figuring out why some people enjoy it so much

Damn, other than beer, vodka is my drink of choice. If you want vodka or Canadian beer, I can help you out with the best of the best, btu if not, I got nothin' for ya lol.

I guess it depends what you are after, whether you are looking to make it a memorable occasion or just to start out exploring.

Personally I would reccomend port, its a fortified red wine and tastes quite sweet and gentle. I think its a better bet than sherry and happily sits between a whiskey/brandy (which to me have always had sense of an event about them) and wine, which might taste great if you are just starting out. Port weighs in around 20% by volume which makes it stronger than wine (by 50-80 % or so) but half the strength of a spirit.

I think you can go wrong with a bottle of red/whte wine as there are a wide range of flavours, so that you might come across one you aren't so keen on, and you probably want a safe bet.

You don't need to go for a vintage port, any decent ruby or tawny will do.

If you are inclined for a bit of an event, you could buy a half bottle of sparkling white/ champange (dont buy too expensive as you'll really be just appreciate the flying cork and the bubbles)

Definately drink in moderation, try not to mix your drinks (I mean have lots of different types of drinks) and don't get too much in.



I hope you have a happy birthday!

xD i never said i actually enjoy soju. Thats just the only drink i'm commonly familiar with.
Not a big fan of beer, i've tried plenty kinds and find the taste to be horrible or maybe i just need to drink more to get appreciate the taste.
My friend recommended smirnoffs. Are those good? And how much money would i normally need to purchase a good amount of alcohol?(Not intending to buy tons. I'm going on a 6 day trip up in San Francisco for my birthday)

What are smirnoffs? Smirnoff is a known brand of vodka, but I guess your friend is refering to smirnoff ice, that's really low on alcohol and has a sweet taste. You would need about 10 of these to get even slightly drunk.

WHITE PORTO !!!!!!!!! ( my favourite > 15°+ drink ) It is very good like a white wine but way more alcoholized ( ~ 18° ) but it still tastes sweet ( contrarily to all the 40°+ alcohols ).

Or Armagnac ( but i doubt you can find a good Armagnac for a decent price in the US lol ) one of the few 40°+ alcohols i enjoy ( with home made fruit brandys :p )

Wines are cool but expensive.

Whisky and Vodka are horrible and i only drink it when i'm or i want to be drunk because it tastes like shit ( personal taste ).

Beers are cool because you can drink a lot, control your drunkness level and it is soooooooo cheap.

I'm usually more a beer-person; of the high proof stuff I usually drink gin tonic or Jägermeister, apart from coctails; but this is all a question of personal preference and taste.
Your at the perfect age for experimenting, just don't overdo it.

zatic is thoughtful, but if its your first shot with alcohol, vodka or rum is the way to go. gotta hit it a little hard, but something without a brutal taste.
which is why i still stand by my reccomendation of bacardi grand melon.

White Russians are fun, and a good sipping drink. Vodka + Coffee Liquor + Creme. Quality of vodka is irrelevant, Kaluha is fine for the coffee liqueur, and whatever creme you normally use for your coffee You can put them in any ratio you want... 1:1:1 2:1:1 1:2:1 ... Obviously more coffee liquor will make it sweeter, more vodka will make it stronger. You can go heavy on the creme too if you really want, but most people don't like that.


Wine is great, but it's an acquired taste so don't bother with it. Same with spirits drunk straight. Manifesto is right when he says to get something fruity if you're drinking straight.
