I used to be a Kamikaze. Now I’m a Slow Gin Fizz. :s
I’m a 36 year old scotch, usually on the rocks…
Harpoon IPA
Vodka
?? Which Alcoholic Drink Are You ??

Never could drink the stuff, makes my insides feel like charcoal. Potato wine? Does that sound at all appetizing?
I’m a cocktail.
Wine
Wine
Isn’t that spelled whine?
Yeah, me too.
But believe me, I’d rather drink Harpoon IPA any day.
And imo, anybody who’d put any scotch whisky - especially any single malt - on any damn rocks oughta be shot. Christ, the greater portion of flavor that ice takes from good scotch.
Anybody who comes across any good scotch whisky twelve years or older, and puts that liquid heaven in the same glass with ice, is some kinda goddam taste-bud philistine. Or a numb nuts Texan; some of them there’d do that and add Coca-Cola.
IMO! (imnsho?)
Unless you’re at the table with a bunch of grown-up locals playing adolescent drinking games. A while back a few of us from my office went out for dinner with a bunch of government guys we were working with. There were many bottles of aged single malt. They poured the first glasses and distributed them. Then they passed the tub of ice cubes and pitchers of water around for anyone who wanted to add them. The guy next to me offered me both and, understanding what you are talking about, I declined. “Woooooaaaa,” everyone said around the table, thinking I am a hardcore drinker, when I simply wanted to taste the scotch. A couple of guys refrained from adding anything, because they felt they had to match me, but most added water and ice.
But as you know, one can’t sip ones scotch at a gathering in Taiwan. The bastards will toast you time after time after time in an attempt to get you drunk. I noticed the worst bastard watered his drink down so severely that it just had the slightest amber tint and he would work round the table toasting everyone, and forcing them to fill their drinks to equal height as his. If they attempted to water theirs down he’d acuse them of cheating and not allow it, though he was the worst offender (Incidentally, his wife passed out drunk at the table after many rounds).
So at that gathering, while it seemed sacriligeous, I soon starting adding ice, just because I didn’t feel like puking on a Tuesday night and waking up hungover before work on Wednesday (I’ve used more extreme tactics at weiyas in the past, pouring tea in my glass and pretending it’s whiskey ). But under normal circumstances I agree with you.

yeah but with beer???
Good god, MT, you definitely get to claim an exemption imo. Those heathens would have been right at home in certain parts of Texas, that’s for sure. Hmmm, what an interesting competition, certain Texan heathen types versus certain Taiwanese heathen types in a crass, fun, and high-stakes drinking game. Who wins? (you and me, buddy!)
By the way, the old splash of Coke and lots of water subterfuge (a way to convince those you’re drinking with that you’ve got a glassful of cocktail when you really don’t) came highly recommended to me in business school. By my business ethics prof, btw.
And I can’t recommend IPA with scotch whisky, not as a 1-1 duo anyway.

ummm bad wording which I’ll blame on the harpoon I have
i meant ice with beer
I’m usually whatever Yellow Cartman is buying me…
Lips that touch wine will never touch mine.
I’m Vodka, anyone beg to differ?
Kinda like Whiskey I guess, at least it usually results in similar behavior.
After great consideration, I have decided that I am, in fact, a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster.
The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy says that the best drink in existence is the Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster. It says that the effect of drinking a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster is like having your brains smashed out by a slice of lemon wrapped round a large gold brick. The Guide also tells you on which planets the best Pan Galactic Gargle Blasters are mixed, how much you can expect to pay for one and what voluntary organizations exist to help you rehabilitate yourself afterward.
…wine is good, but I prefer beer and/or good malt whiskey.
