rigor mortis 0 Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 I enjoy nothing more (well a few things more) than kicking back at home after work with a beer or glass of red wine. Or maybe a whiskey after dinner. Generally I drink every day, but mostly just a glass or 2. Maybe once a week I get fairly loaded. Whilst im sure some will say this is excessive, i believe its quite harmless. whats your poison? How much do you drink? Link to post Share on other sites
rigor mortis 0 Posted April 26, 2006 Author Share Posted April 26, 2006 my arsenal of poisons include: beer stout (hard to find here, but recently got into a korean stout, mostly cause it only costs 145yen a can) red wine (generally australian) whiskey and ginger ale whiskey and soda - 'highball' (always conjures up kind of grotty conotations for me that name) sho-chu on the rocks japanese sake cocktails (generally only in tropical environments) rusty nail gin and tonic (in summer) i better stop there Link to post Share on other sites
mayhem22 0 Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 no way that's too much, in my opinion (others, i'm sure, will disagree)...i think that sounds perfectly healthy. i definitely enjoy a beer or glass of wine around dinner time, but ideally alongside a nice fatty. unfortunately i just have to abstain from that for the most part over here. so instead i enjoy: beer red wine gin and anything (but preferably tonic and fresh lime) mojitos the incredibly classy 7% chu-hais coffee w/ plenty of bailey's but the best drink of all.... BLOODY CAESARS! (vodka and clamato juice) the best way to drink them is super spicy, in a nalgene bottle full of ice, accompanying a bike ride and a picnic, with refill supplies in the backpack. and of course a j.

mayhem22 0 Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 oops. caesars should also have a generous helping of tobasco, lea & perrins, salt and pepper. hard to do a rimmer and garnish when you're riding, but at home i think the best garnish is a spicy bean. Link to post Share on other sites
TJ OZ 0 Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 "Alongside a nice fatty"? Not sure what you mean. Usually a fatty means a fat girl but that would seem an unusual ideal night for some. Nothing against fat girls. Link to post Share on other sites
TJ OZ 0 Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 I usually only drink on the weekends and holidays. Wine when eating Beer when drinking Beer when fishing Beer in the onsen (occasionally sake) Scotch and dry when flying Vodka and redbull when tired (2 only) Pina colada when sitting on a beach at sunset Link to post Share on other sites
scouser 4 Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 I don't drink much actually at the moment - usually only when out with friends, at friends or when there's a match on. Almost always beer. Link to post Share on other sites

fb_steve 0 Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 I'm a poor student so I only drink beer, but it's ok cause I love it! Maybe when I'm a bit older I can dabble in the classier drinks some of you mentioned I drink hard once a week at least, usually twice and sometimes more. I think it's becoming unhealthy as my whole group drink to our limit almost everytime and don't drink otherwise. I'm worried about my liver! But It's not a 'drinking problem' more of a social problem. However that said, we rarely are sick from drinking. A good thing i think? On average I'd drink between 10-12 stubies in a night. It sounds stupid but even in the last 18 months I can feel my hangovers a lot more, I thought I was invincible at the end of high school! I'll get a photo of my Jap beer can collection, it's at 26 big cans right now. They're my pride and joy and each remind me of a good night at the snow, in the onsen, or walking back from the street corner vending machine. Link to post Share on other sites
ncorrenti 0 Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 People drink for different reasons. A lot of my friends will have a drink at night because it helps them unwind. Drinking doesn't relax me at all, in fact it makes me quite hyperactive, so I usually only drink when I'm in the mood to party. At the moment I'm a big fan of champagne cocktails, two of those and I'm toasted. Link to post Share on other sites

rach 1 Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 My some of you guys drunk a fair bit! I only drink usually when I go out. I have been known to drink a fair bit. I usually get a bit hyperactive as well nicole, but there's a certain point where that suddenly turns into "I need sleep" mode. Link to post Share on other sites
bobby12 0 Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 I like to have a drink on a friday night, no matter what I am doing. Either a bottle of wine, 3 cans of beer, or several rum/cokes. Link to post Share on other sites
