Wow, i already love this thread!
For me it goes on vodka, vodka and beer.. and beer. It may sound kind of lame, but i drink mainly to get drunk and enjoy the feeling and the change it brings me :D There are only a few alcoholic drinks i enjoy the taste of, it's beer and martini!
I love vodka, because it simply have no real addition but the innevitability of alcohol, are easy to mix, and are cheap (by the way, in Norway 1 liter of vodka costs about 90 dollars) in comparison to others.
I honestly wouldn't touch alcohol if it wasn't for the purpose of simply tasting it or to get drunk. I enjoy the social aspect of getting drunk with pals, and play games, or enjoying it for myself by seeing the effects close handed. It feels awesome!
Beer i drink simply because i think it tastes great, and is a great way of getting "socially" drunk :D
Basicly i like the feeling of beeing drunk, and i enjoy every moment of the process. So i enjoy alcohol, but as opposed to some, i don't really enjoy the taste of most of it. I really respect people who do however.
It's neither classy nor is it of fine taste! It's just the human nature of seeking weird mind things for me!

Seriously? $90? I can buy a 1.5L of Grey Goose for about $55 USD

Incorrect, that is a thread about being drunk, this is a thread slightly more refined, one based on taste and preference, not solely with the reason to get wasted.

Why on earth would anyone in their right mind drink Bud Light? Personally, I like Kilkenny alot, or basically any Czech beer like Gambrinus is taasty.

As far as american beers go, oberon and two hearted is the way to go. For vodka and tequila in general I prefer goose, belv, and patron.

Yes but it's rare and hard(er) to find. Much better to just get a leffe brune or something when in europe.

I live in Oregon (NW United States) so I get to experience a huge variety of amazing beer, wine, and spirits. This is one of my absolute all-time favorite beers. It is always good no matter the time of day, the weather, my mood, what band is playing, ect. There is another espresso stout from a local brew pub in town that is monster delicious. But stouts are not my go-to beverage when I am drinking a lot. It is too unhealthy (I generally have a low carb diet so a lot of carbs really fucks with me)
Instead, I go with the good ol Gin, Soda water, Lime. I can drink those all night and will wake up relatively un-hungover (unless I also opt to swing by the 24 mexican food place)

I honestly feel otherwise. You just need to live in the right places to experience the best beers. Come to one of Oregons many brew fests and your mind will be expanded by the wonder and delight that is the microbrew. All of Americas national beers really suck. Really really suck. Stuff like blue moon...that is meh at best. Windemer is getting nationally recognized and it has some good things going for it but still. Euro beer vs American beer is really like comparing 2 different styles and approaches to making beer. American beer is very experimental vs the mostly traditional European beer. I admit I have not had the joy of experiencing the slew of top-tier European beers but from what I have tasted and what coworkers have shared, I don't think there will be any beer in Europe that will absolutely blow me away. Sure, there will be fucking amazing beer but nothing warranting 5 'greater than' signs.

I pretty much hate any and all beer, in both your regular store beers and your more exotic ones, regardless of country or any other factors. I've drank enough for it to not be some kind of tolerance issue, they just all taste like bile one way or the other. I wonder sometimes if my tongue is just allergic to hops. I know such a thing is pretty heretical to say, but that's just how it is for me. I can smell the difference of two beers, and tell the difference between different grains, but that's about it. No matter what, beers and my taste buds just do not cooperate.
Liquor is kinda the same, but I can tolerate it if I mix it with stuff. I'll be able to tell the difference between shots of this or that, but I will never ever say "Oh, that burning sensation in my mouth and throat really tastes good." As with beer, I'll still drink it from time to time because I enjoy the buzz, but I will never celebrate the taste.
Unless it's in a girly drink. Give me a sour mix cocktail, a very manly daquiri, or some bailey's and I'm basically good to go. I can also enjoy a good wine from time to time, but only with meals designed to compliment them. A wine by itself, I can't really enjoy, but a red wine with some tunafish can be delicious. I'm not a wine snob so I couldn't tell you what's what but I've had some good experiences, at weddings or whatever.

It's true. 400 NOK for a liter :D Also the places you can buy anything else than beer is a special shop only located in some (but many) cities, and are open to 5pm and 3pm on saturday. I don't complain, but i find the differences in politics here interessting.
The weird thing is that i can go to denmark and get it for a fourth of the price at about any store .D

I'm not a fan of Bud but honestly, this is actually very good. Arrogant bastard Stone IPA is very good if you like stronger beers. yes I have tried the platinum and I'll admit I was pleasantly surprised. Much better than regular bud light I think it has the highest Alcohol per drink now too, ( i know around where i live atleast, since we dont have alot of expensive beer) it used to the Busch brands(which are awful).
also, i was thinking of buying some scotch tomorrow, what kinds good?(that you can get at your local ABC store)

I am a huge fan of anything from Alaskan Brewery, especially the Alaskan Amber. But my favorite is Weihenstephaner Original Lager. Everything else they make is very solid too.

Commercials, peer pressure, ignorance, etc...
For me, a good chocolate stout is one of the best things around, followed by probably IPA.

Pilsner Urquell, Gambrinus, czech beer is winnus Wodka Coke, Cuba Libre, Mojito for harder stuff, best drink redbull wodka
|
there is def a 'drunk thread' but its constantly closed and opened. i love the platinum myself but not because its a good beer because it gets me drunk very fast. 2 drunk fast im approaching sloppy.

Beer. In Denmark we can drink from the age of 15, so we get used to drinking quite early.
I myself prefer Carlsberg. Tuborg is alright too, but not as good as Carlsberg imo. The local Albani Odense is really good too, so yea ... hmm beer ...
|
If anyone is looking for Vodka with flavor, Absolut Vodka is by far the best! It actually smells and taste exactly like what it's supposed to. Most stuff taste so obviously of synthetic chemicals n shit but this stuff is like like taking a bite straight from the garden! :D
Could anyone recommend me a good Whisky? Tried a few different ones but not sure of the names so dunno what to get
