what is your favorite alcoholic beverage or combination.
what have you learned about drinking?
I'm a simple man... I usually just prefer a vodka shot with beer chaser. I've never really liked mixed drinks.
What I've learned (mind you I'm a relative amateur about this but I'll impart a couple things I find interesting):
* Much easier to control your level of drunkeness with beer than with hard liquor (very important for me cos I don't try to get "shit-faced" I generally like to take myself to the "sweet spot" of drunkeness which fluctuates depending on my day)
* Everyone should try to take a shot of absinthe at least once in their lives. I tried it twice while on vacation, one shot fucked me up for a good 2 hours (IIRC). When it first hits your system, it feels like your chest is on fire (but in a good way). The additional ingredients (mainly wormwood I believe), create an odd effect, hard to describe (its been a while) sorta like your senses are a bit heightened or maybe like if you swallowed 10 cough drops at once
