Help Needed- My first alcoholic beverage!

[Illfavor]

Alright so I'm a 20 year old and have never drunk more than about 3 ounces of alcohol. Yes, this is lame. Beer has never been for me, though I do like champagne, and I have never even tasted anything else. My 21st birthday is in 6 days and I'm going to buy a few things to drink in the safety of my apartment with some friends and I was wondering if you guys had any suggestions for my first night of drinking? I plan to buy 3-5 bottles of stuff to sample (pls no beer) and I'm sure some of you are real aficionados on this subject, judging from typical behavior in the IRC + just about all of Zwifts posts.

Thanks for any help.

start out with Vodka. It doesn't have a strong taste and mixes well with lots of stuff.

[d0zer]

Vodka's not a bad idea, but make sure to at least get something half decent as the cheapest of vodkas taste like cleaning solvent (even moreso than the good ones).

Trust the Russians with their vodka:

Mccormicks vodka all the way

as for drinks.

You can't go wrong with Screwdrivers, Margaritas, Rum and Coke... Go with the ones you know the names of, and enjoy them. Then once you get your drinkin' legs under you, and you know how you're going to handle alcohol try the Rocky Mountain Goat Fukcer, Prairie fire, and liquid cocaine, and eventually you'll be drinking everclear and pissing fire.

I love me some prarie fire, but man they hurt you the next day.

scotch

[jyms]

scotch

This, single malt

[bigspenda73]

The first "legal" drink I had was Makers Mark, obviously I had been drinking for 3-4 years prior but that was probably the perfect way to kick off a year of binge-drinking.

In college I drank a lot of light beer and rum/vodka w/ mixers b/c I was a pussy, sort of where you are now. Now it's usually just whiskey or beer, but I don't drink much at all anymore.

[Galapogos]

scotch

This, single malt

Definitely.

Also, stay away from ragnar's recommendation of prairie fires.

[Warpe]

vodka+OJ, amber rum+Coke if you want to enjoy it

scotch, bourbon, tequila, etc. are all acquired tastes

[a500lbgorilla]

Vodka and juices. You have to work towards enjoying other alcohol but you can overpower vodka with a lotta juice and drink with comfort.

You can get flavoured rum too.

[BankItDrew]

Fireball Whiskey

[Jack Sawyer]

Small batch Vodka, like Smirnof no. 55

[Galapogos]

10W-30 Quaker State Synthetic

Get it?

Cuz he's a bot. Get it?

[Warpe]

I don't get it

[Illfavor]

Thanks for the feedback.

So far some popular choices have been a single malt Scotch and a non-cheap Vodka mixed with some sort of fruit beverage.

[Jack Sawyer]

yeah, like this

scotch, bourbon, tequila, etc. are all acquired tastes

This man speaks the truth.

[a500lbgorilla]

Makers Mark and Ginger Ale
Jack and Coke
Vodka and Juice

they'll all go down real well.

[bode]

for gods sake if he has never drank before don't recommend scotch.

[wufwugy]

I recommend scotch as well because it determines how much of a man you are. It'll also be a fantastic way to find out which of your friends are actually cool.

Just be sure to buy quality liquor. We've all made the mistake of drinking bottom shelf stuff, and wish we could take it back.

[wufwugy]

for gods sake if he has never drank before don't recommend scotch.

Could always go with Rusty Nails - Scotch and Drambuie.

But really, scotch isn't any rougher than its cousins, it's just different than what we habitually think makes for good drink

[Lukie]

take some shots of cheap whiskey, neat

from there on out everything will be easy

[Halv]

White russian seems like a good beginners drink. Then move on to black russian and you're set.

[BennyLaRue]

for gods sake if he has never drank before don't recommend scotch.

This. He's not going to be able to handle/enjoy any straight liquor.

Start with what every other regular person started with back in day...Vodka and Tropical Punch Kool-Aid, Peach Schnapps and Orange Juice and Lemonade with Blue Curacao. It tastes best when stolen from your parents' liquor cabinet.

BACARDI. AND COLA.
THEY GET THE JOB DONE.




srsly though drink jack daniels.

and don't put none of that coke garbage in it either like a little girl.

[frosst]

how has no one mentioned jager bombs?

[KoRnholio]

Vodka all the way for a newbie. Stoli is excellent, definitely the best for the price. If you try to cheap out on vodka you'll basically be drinking nail polish remover.

[bigspenda73]

how has no one mentioned jager bombs?

ya jager bombs, irish car bombs, etc... are all sure-fire ways to not remember much of the previous night. I prefer just shots of jager over the bomb b/c I suck at chugging, and red bull is better with like stoli, mmmmmmmm.

[Ragnar4]

how has no one mentioned jager bombs?

You would recommend jager bombs to a first timer?

Not only does he gamble with alcohol poisoning because he doesn't know his limit, he's gambling with the 4am heart attack when all the sugar metabolizes and the caffeine makes a comeback?

gh sir. Why not just stab him with a rusty knife while you're at it.

you play full ring dont you?

[Stacks]

Does the type of alcohol really matter as long as at some point during the shot your tongue carcasses the tender skin of a beautiful white bitch?

And uhhhh...



with 2 zig zags?

[Illfavor]

O dat Stax...

[UG]

just drink the "girly stuff" until you get your feet wet, then move on to beer and hard alcohol after that. that's how I did it.

[animal_chin]

Rum and cola. Gin and juice.

[UG]

I STARTED A NEW THREAD BECAUSE OF YOU



woot

[surviva316]

wtf to people suggesting any sort of whiskey drink. my fav drinks are cuervo black and cola like 40/60 and lots of lime and harvey's bristol cream sherry, but i would never suggest that to a first timer.

swallow your pride and buy jager, smirnoff and parrot bay. use the jager for shots and bitch away with the other two by making like bay breezes and shit. regardless of how big your balls are you will hate any other type of drink

[UG]

yeah, lol at people suggesting "manly" drinks for the first drink. baby steps people. I don't know of any drinkers that have ever started on the best stuff. Work your way up, yo.

[UG]

and by work your way up, I mean drink something that tastes relatively good to you (if not really good, example-girly drink), then go from there. Beer and other alcohols are an "acquired" taste that you'll get used to.

[wufwugy]

While I disagree that starting with the good stuff (like scotch) is a bad idea. I agree that it will likely be much more enjoyable to start with the wimpy girly stuff. Like fuzzy navels. The problem with starting with the good stuff is that good stuff has high alcohol content, and nubs can't handle that, as we all know

white zinfandel imo
really good for a beginner, not that strong and has a nice taste

[henriclapi]

Jagerbombs are what you want! They're great for a party atmosphere and are tasty to drink!

Basically you fill a cup with Red Bull about halfway, and then fill a shot glass with yagermeister and place the shot glass in the Red Bull glass so that the red bull doesn't mix with the yagermeister. You then down them all together!! Great Fun!!

Alternatively if you like licorice, then shot of flaming sambuca are also great fun with mates. Pour the sambuca into a shot glass and then you can either light the sambuca as it is, blow it out, cup your hand over it immediately to stop the fumes getting out, then quickly inhale the fumes and down the shot!! Or, just take the shot and light it in your mouth... just keep your head pointing as far up as possible!!

...... endless fun with alcohol!

[Halv]

Flaming sambucas (or anything involving booze and fire really) scare the shit out of me.

[thizzSantaCruz]

I agree with starting out on pussy drinks bu at the same time I could drink a ton before I knew what it was like to get sick. I'd put down straight gin like nobodies bussiness. As soon as I liked tho I couldn't handle the taste of straight liquor.

wtf with all you girls recommending weak drinks? You know it's best to just jump in the fucking cold lake. You know it's best to just rip the bandaid off. Just get in there get smashed off hard stuff have an awesome drunk and way less chance of a hangover. Good times.

I thought it was godamn hilarious.

[GatorJH]

[UG]

your mom

[WillburForce]

oh, the days of youthful drinking.

none of the hangovers, just the fun times.

And I think you should just get proper cunted on scotch. non of that sinlge malt milarky. Just a cheap blend of hard scotch. seperate the men from the boys.

[donkbee]

Vanilla vodka and coke ftw

[birdman417]

Step 1:Invite 10 hot chicks over
Step 2:drink whatever they do not
Step 3:drink 1 drink to every 6 they drink
Step 4:Have an 11-some with drunk chicks spilling off your bed
Step 5:Wake up, look around, and smile.
You are now a man, my son..and there was much rejoicing

[a500lbgorilla]

fck me an 11 way?! ive never managed more than a seven-some, am i not considered a man?

[wufwugy]

you, bigred, and 3 mirrors doesn't count

[pantherhound]

Jagerbombs I agree with! I like to do them the pantherhound way, a shot of red bull inside a glass of Jagermeister! This is not for everyone though! Happy drinking!

[b1eedb1ack]

I was in your exact situation a few years back. I hadn't drank a drop until my 21st...I ended up doing just about nothing. Had a few LITs & a pre-mixed mojito & called it a night.

As of now, I must say jager & beer are the ways to go. You don't like beer (most likely because you only know of shitty beer) so that goes out the window.

Vodka, Jager, Whiskey. Buy some shit to mix it with just in case. I'd say that's a good start.

Stay away from tequila. I can handle my liquor, but I can't handle anything that's primarily tequila. LIT, okay. Margarita, no thanks.

[flomo]

Illfavor

what do you like to drink regularly(non alcohol)?


find a place that does frozen mudslides and drink those, they are easy to puke. Men and old alcoholic women are the only ones who really care the manliness of the drink, so no worries on girlie drinks.
Just ask Lukie

avoid having spicy foods and cornchips not easy to puke

[Illfavor]

Flomo I drink Water. I might have one soda and a glass of tea per week.

[Illfavor]

Today's my birfday and I'm gonna go with some Vodka and Juice, Rum and probably some Wine.

Thanks to everyone, minus iopq. Pls don't respond to my threads.

[Warpe]

eat a big meal of spaghetti

[BennyLaRue]

eat a big meal of spaghetti

That's great from a texture standpoint but the acid in a pure tomato sauce sort of burns the sinuses on the way back out. I recommend an alfredo or at least a rosé.

[flomo]

careful of overly sugared, caffeinatteded, and acidic drinks
and of course overly high proof drinks

your choice of vodka is good, if you get sick on whisky/whiskey it might keep you from enjoying sukch things in the future

[a500lbgorilla]

Illfavor drinks only water? Im gonna insist on jagerbombs... for science and all.

[b1eedb1ack]

Why are you mixing your hard A with some lousy wine! One or the other my friend!

Oh, and I hope your bathroom was cleaned recently.

[Monsieur_chat]

Single malt all day but maybe not the best choice when you're starting out on the long road of alcoholic enjoyment..

Maybe try Havana Club 7 year dark rum and coke with 2 or 3 wedges of lime squeezed into it. I used to drink this all day long when it was hot.

[BigTVeno]

Amaretto & coke cant go wrong there nake them tall so it take longer to finish them ok rookie lol

[pokerdog283]

I like vanilla flavored rum personally. Makes rum and cokes tastle like vanilla coke!

[BigTVeno]

A GLADIATOR - its a drop shot of Amaretto into Orange Juice
