Bud products give me the shits. Millers, except Miller Light, give me heart burn. Coors light makes me piss too much, I can't remember the last time I drank Coors Original.

Bud Light Lime has to be the gayest thing you can be holding in a bar, short of a Marlboro Menthol Light 100. Both products scream, "Meet me at the glory hole, last stall on the left."

I've mostly given up drinking beer because it's impossible to diet when you're drinking the equivalent of liquid bread. Also, being diabetic, beer absolutely destroys my bloodsugar. I end up having to take a ton of insulin, which really isn't all that safe when you're consuming mass quantities of alcohol.

The reviews say Bud Light Platinum is quite drinkable and the 6.0% alcohol level is appealing to me. I might give this a shot next time I'm at the L store. It will never match up to my beers of preference (Newcastle Brown or Full Sail IPA), but it might be a good Sunday football beer.

As a beer snob, I found this a laugh.

That said, Coors brings back fond memories for me. My dad always had a beer fridge in the garage. I'd be send to get them for him and guests and got to open and sip from everyone's. From maybe 5ish on. I imagine he'd be put under the jail today. I was a pretty good bartender too. Got a bartender's bible put in front of me when I learned to read.

And at the end of the day, after a hot Saturday working in the yard, there is really nothing better than a Coors.

Everyone needs a predictable Sunday football or NASCAR beer.

I'm gonna disagree and say the best beer for a hot day is an ice-cold Corona. Also goes well with the free chips in a Mexican restaurant. The best way I've had it served to me is in a frosty glass dipped in salt with a wedge of lime, kind of like it was served margarita-style but in a beer glass.

I dunno. I've drank my share of them, but give me an Imperial (Costa Rican) any day over a Corona. No salt or lime needed to put you in the tropical state of mind.

If you have to put fruit in your beer, it is lousy beer.

My fave, after a day of sweating in the sun, brew is an iced down Becks. Pours right down my gullet smoother than water. I'll get like 2/3 down on the first tilt, light a smoke, polish of the rest, then open one for sipping while I warm up the grill.

Aaaaahhh, flashbacks to summer. I can't wait for the next one to start.

I never put a lime in my Corona when I have them at home. But it's pretty much automatic that you get a lime with it when you order one at a bar or a Mexican restaurant. I saw a chef the other day who said to never have the lemon or limes that they give you in a restaurant. Always ask for them on the side because they're filthy and they never get washed. When they tested the lemons, they found candida bacteria on them. That's the fungal bacteria formed from vaginitis.

I had to run to the liquor store anyways, so I picked up some Bud Light Platinum. It's perfectly drinkable for a domestic light beer. I might give a more thorough review after I have the other 11. Some woman looked at me like a lunatic because of my attire: dress shoes, military green shorts, a huge leather/sheepskin coat and a Mets cap. It's 10° out, so the shock was probably mostly from the shorts.

Good luck with that. Report on your results.

I'm gonna say 6% alcohol is a conservative number because I'm buzzing pretty good after 3 beers. It's somewhat highly carbonated, but that's necessarily a bad thing. The flavor is inoffensive, especially for a light beer. This beer was just put on sale, so it's fresh as can be and not at all skunky. I don't know what it'll taste like after it's been on the market for a while. Perhaps the neptune blue bottle color will help prevent light from making it go bad quickly.

Sorry, man, nothing directed against you personally, but this is the cage and those two sentences were like listening to somebody drag their fingernails across a chalkboard.

fungus is to bacteria as trees are to kangaroos.

... and while vaginitis may have been the most appropriate choice for this forum, you could have easily substituted several other conditions after reversing the cause and effect sentence structure (i.e. vaginitis doesn't form candida).


I know, I know, this post was a bit of a dick move. But I swear I couldn't control myself. I guess I need a drink.





P.S. we're all covered with fungus and bacteria, and as an old mentor of mine used to say, "My boy, the ENTIRE world is covered by a thin patina of feces."

Yeah, I knew as I was typing it up that I wasn't at all describing things properly. So, no offense taken. All I remember was they mentioned candida and vaginas and I tried to piece together a scenario that worked. When I googled candida, they mentioned the word fungus so I threw that in there even though I personally had thought it was a bacteria, so that's how the two got combined. 1+1=retarded.

Also, Dr. Science, you can probably go back and mock me for thinking that blue bottles would protect my beer from UV light. It was just an uninformed guess. But the case was sealed up pretty well from outside light anyways so it wporbably wouldn't' matter anyways.

6 beers down. 6 to go.

OK, I passed out after9 beers. But I pulled myself back up from the depths. AFter the first 6 beers, this shit tastes mostly like fizzy water with a sour aftertastes. It gets you drunk, but you only keep drinking it because that's all you have in the fridge.

I'm hammered.

I think it'd be difficult to get drunk off of martinis... with all the shaking and pouring and those little easy-spill glasses. Btw, how do you make yours?

I use gin, vodka is for faggots. I use dry vermouth in a ratio of about 3 parts gin to 2 parts vermouth. It's kind of an old timey recipe. And an olive or two. Or I'll make a gibson with a cocktail onion.

If anyone calls anything a *tini because it is served in a martini glass they are a faggot and you should kill them.

The only beverage on earth that is a martini is made with gin, vermouth and an olive.

EDIT:I drink them out of mugs. I have broken around 20 martini glasses in my life and I gave up on them.

I thought I learned from a recent discussion here that gin is just vodka flavored with juniper?

From watching History Channel and reading on my own, isn't pretty much every distilled alcohol base technically vodka? It's further processing that makes it gin or whiskey or whatever. Some of the fake chemists here could probably prove me wrong.

Gin is an acquired taste, I know. There's local craft distiller, Dry Fly, that makes a fantastic gin. Very drinkable to most palates.

You can certainly serve anything in a martini glass, and it can be tasty, but if there's no gin and vermouth, it ain't a martini.

I always stayed away from gin, because old gin drunks looked much older than their years. Dude's 53, looks like he's 75.

I try and stick w/ beer, because the extra calories keeps me youthfully plump. Like Zsa Zsa said, there comes a time in a woman's life where she has to choose between her face and her body. I am not a woman, but I like my face youthful. I am at my happy weight, and the beer belly isn't in the top 5 of reasons chicks keep away from me.

If it comes from a grain, it's technically whiskey.

As soon as I posted I kind of knew I'd oversimplified it.

I like gin because it makes a man mean. If you were going to booze up and riot gin would be the way to go.

I've experienced a beer curve. College you get what you can afford and buy the most of. As you get older and can afford better beer you go up the chain. That goes to the point that you stop wanting to have a beer belly and look better, then you go back down to the light beer that you can drink all day, not get drunk, and not gain too much weight drinking. I guess when I'm old and retired I'll be back to drinking the cheap shit I can afford.

OH MY. That is a fucking goldmine.

And my drinking has been very minimal lately as I have had entertaining folks around thus not drinking because I am bored.

Anyway looking at the forum. I don't think I have the heart to mess with these sad people but I have found a few gems.


This was posted by a pregnant woman. I would like to meet her.
That sounds repulsive and I wonder if it's one of those drinks that will get you cut off at a bar even before being served (kind of like ordering a triple gin with a twist of gin).



I can't deal with these people any more. I get wanting to quit booze but I don't get making your whole life about it. If you spend your whole day in AA meetings and talking and thinking about booze of course you will crave it. I always want to drink more after going to a meeting than before I went.

And there are threads with idiots wanting to buy antabuse from Canadian pharmacies without talking to their doctors? I hope these folks die. You need your blood tested at least every 2 weeks on that stuff and white blood cell counts taken.

I think it was Tom Lykis (jondra?) maybe 20 years who outraged by saying AA was just trading one addiction for another. Really fired up friends of Bill W., cuz 12 Step is the only way to quit.

Bill W asked for booze on his death bed. People who parrot him have been tricked into buying the "big book".

Ha ha, you're not alone on this booze train! Awesome

I can't drink at all anymore. I used to be able to really put 'em away. My bf had dvd night at his house and he had to finish my glass of red wine for me. I feel a combination of sick and wanting to fall asleep.

Eat some carbs.

I had water, Water and more WATER yesterday and again today. This stupid-ass wind is making me dehydrated. I'm withering away. I feel like Pamela Peeks skin. Shoot me now!

i see they have a "laughing out loud" forum where humorless alcy zombies living half a life can tell jokes.
think i can float this one?.

Q. how do you get a fag to fuck a girl?.

A. stuff shit in her cunt

Lou and I were walking down the street when we saw a dog licking his balls. Lou said, "I wish I could do that." I replied, "Maybe you should just pet him first."

You should be drinking.

But I'm not.

Going out for drinks with Heather Pink tmrw and a new friend of ours. My prediction: I'll nurse a vodka on the rocks, HP will barely finish her white wine, and the new girl will be drinking the entire establishment under the table.

For our sake please start again.

A couple shots of whiskey on top of that xanax is amazing. Do it charin.

I made myself a Rusty Nail tonight, 3 parts Johnny Walker to 1 part Drambuie. Not a fan, the Drambuie is just too damned sweet.

Jack Daniels "Green Label"

Poured out a little for my dead homiez

I've been drinking Bud Light Platinum like water since Lou first mentioned it here. It's an easy drinking beer that gives me a nice, mellow buzz. It seems to be selling really well because the cooler at the liquor store has been emptied out of the stuff the last two times I went in and I had to buy the warm beer that was stacked on the floor.

3 different cashiers have mentioned to me that they also like the stuff. Personally, I think they should have given it a different name because there is a stigma attached to Budweiser beers, particularly Bud Light. When I mentioned I was drinking this to a friend of mine, all they could say was, "Why?" Anyways, I think Budweiser is now owned by the Germans and they apparently know how to make a decent beer.

And I'm drunk.

The fucking Irish have it all figured out. I made homeaded corned beef last night with cabbage & potatoes and just had the leftovers with some beer. I say they have it all figured out because eating everything, washing it down with beer and then burping tasted better than each individual component by itself.

^^^I'll let you in on a secret: We stole that from the jews we used to live next door to in the tenements a hundred thousand years ago.

You're welcome.

I only recently learned that the word "ghetto" came from when the nazis segregated the jews into run down shitty neighborhoods in Germany before they could implement their final solution.

I also misspelled homemade. My favorite misspelling of that word was from a downtown soup stand that for years had a placard advertising in large letters that they served HOMADE SOUP. I'd like a ho to make me some soup.

Budweiser's owned by a Belgian brewer. Name escapes. People were horrified when they bought AB. Sounds like they needed some Europeans to teach them how to make beer.

^^^ Was it Belgian? I thought it was German, but Belgian is equally good as far as brewmeistering.
