I like some of the Van Gogh flavored vodkas. I recently discovered that cherry vodka mixed with Yoo-Hoo is a tasty concotion. But I had a hell of a hangover.

I like Stoli, and drink it regularly. Stoli Vanil on the rocks, though perhaps a bit of an umbrella drink, is my fave.

The Apprentice LA
 

Whatever happened to the cinammon Stoli? Man, that was good.

The Apprentice LA
 

Yeh, the vodka milkshake is bad news. Like AdL, my favorite flavored vodka is the Stoli vanilla. Its lethal. You can slug the shit like water. I've had those come-to-Jesus talks with myself at 8 pm on Saturday when I realize I've blown through a third of a bottle and we haven't even left for dinner yet. I hate that moment where you realize, although you're psyched to really tie one on at dinner, you've already had a pretty fair amount of booze.

I don't care what you heard, monkey boy, but [insert name of beloved female FBer here] and I are just friends.

Many board hookups? "Many many"? Hmpf. You at least have loose-lipped sources sharing their info with you. I got nothin.

That being said, I wouldn't mind deposing [insert name of second beloved female FBer here].

I like cunt as well. Its got a great rawness to it. But placement is everything.

Its like a 1 iron in your golf bag.


"Did you just hit a 1 iron?"

"Yep."

"Damn... thats got a nice draw on it. Well done."

dissent. I think she is here, but now a "short time lurker, long time poster."

The Apprentice LA
 

I agree with Coltrane that calling anything "the Heineken of ..." is necessarily a negative association. And I love these "which alcohol brand is the best" competitions, so I will put in my cent and a half (a haypenny to you):

Vodka: Monopolova, Ciroc, Ketel One, Stoli are on my favored list;
Grey Goose, Beledere, Absolut are on my no way list;
All others are off the radar.

Beer: most beers are fine, some are exceptional (such as Newcastle draft, Guinness, Shiner Bock), and Heineken, Amstel Light and Coors Light are undrinkable

Let me know if we get to expand our brand snobbery into other catagories. I'm sure I have an opinion on most.


Ps. I assume this post is riddled with misspellings (<--- including possibly that word right there), but I am not planning to fix it. I have no interest in learning how to spell the brands of alcohol I consume, and I'm sure I've killed off the brain cells that retain that sort of information anyway, so fuck off. Don't tell me that an avocada is not a vegetable.

The Apprentice LA
 

As to beer, and from what I can glean from Coltrane's post earleir, the kids are on this fake "I'm a common man" kick drinking PBR for $10 a bottle in some place on Rush street. Tonight try a Falstaff or a Drewry's. they're both drinkable and you'll be an actual "common man" beer drinker. Avoid Buckhorn.

Just Because
 

You don't know that, and you're only posting this drivel to harrass the board. Get the fuck out of here.

The Apprentice LA
 

Can I give a shout out to Sleeman's Cream Ale? Sure, make all the Hamilton jokes you want, but it's delicious. Also Rickard's Red and Creemore are very nice -- order a pint next time you're in Ontario (the real one, not the place 40 miles east of downtown LA).

Now that I've established my beer bona fides, let me stick up for Coors. I actually like it much more than Bud, Bud Light, Miller, Miller Light, Heineiken or Amstel Light. I think I like it more than Sam Adams. I definitely like it more than Newcastle Brown Ale, which I find undrinkable. Coors Light is pretty blah, but Coors isn't half bad.

Just Because
 

2. but it wasn't to harass, it was just to say "short time lurker." it had a nice ring to it.

The Apprentice LA
 

I like Heineken. I also like Bud (but only out of cans). Heineken is a solid wedding beer, which makes it analogous to Stoli's standing in Vodka circles.

Coors Light isn't even beer. It's carbonated yellow water dusted with nail polish remover. I like Amstel. But I don't drink beer for taste when I'm out.

At home, I'll buy good shit (Anchor, Red Stripe, Bass).

Newcastle is too sweet. Yeccch.

The Apprentice LA
 

No view on vodka.

I second your thoughts on beer.

Cos D'Estournal for wine.

LaPhroig for scotch.

Chateau D'Yquem for dessert.

Ditto on misspellings.

The Apprentice LA
 

Yikes. I stay away from Rush, as does anyone who is under 40 and lives in the city. The latter actually applies to the band as well.

I had my first sip of Strohs at 2 on my dad's lap, right before he traded his HiFi for a case of Coors.

The Apprentice LA
 

Coors (regular) should only be consumed in its vanilla can. I drank a lot of that in HS.

The Apprentice LA
 

Favorite post-blow job lip gloss?

The Apprentice LA
 

So did I. I credit it with making me successful and smart, like you.

The Apprentice LA
 

I would drink something called Sleeman's Cream Ale on principle alone.


Mmmm. Red Stripe. I'd forgotten I like that one. I may need to make a run to the liquor store. It's worth it just to hear the Brazenette announce "Mommy needs booze!" as we walk through the doors. It's gotten so the guys behind the counter answer her with "Hi Mommy!" I wave, shamefaced.

The Apprentice LA
 

I don't think I have ever had a Coors (as opposed to Coors Light). Why would anyone ever drink that? I can't remember the last time I had any major brand (Bud, Miller, Mich, Coors) regular beer. Their light beers are consumed by me because they are light beers.

I am not a particular beer snob. Generally I'll drink pretty much anything that is not on the hated list in my prior post. Newcastle bottle is a different formula from the draft formula and is Not Good. I agree with Sebby that the draft version is a bit sweet, but that doesn't bother me. I can't drink more than 2 in a sitting before changing to something lighter, but those 2 are quite enjoyed.

The refrigerator at home is generally filled with light beers, for volume reasons, and Guinness for taste reasons. Though I think we have some Pacifico and Red Stripe in there as well right now.

The Apprentice LA
 

I'm open for suggestions, but I think Sascha "Tart" is good before hand.

The Apprentice LA
 

Stroh's was the preferred beer of keggers my senior year in high school. I don't know what that says about me or my high school, although I can assure you we were listening to the Hooters, Romeo Void, and the Grateful Dead more than Bruce.

The Apprentice LA
 

This is unbelievably cute. Do you get a cart when you go to the liquor store? I do. All the guys there know me by name.

The Apprentice LA
 

Do I get a cart? What do you think I am - an amateur?

The Apprentice LA
 

Fuck. I'm gobbling everything in my path because I fear this goddamned kid I'm having will impinge on "the lifestyle."

Luckily, fate gave me a new third cat. She's an adorable stray who sits in my dingy basement and hangs with me while I drink and watch late nite TV. I think some god brought her to us because I'm going to need a friend to look at me and sneer "Sebby, you really fucked yourself with this kid thing" and laugh while I'm downing beers and telling the brat to "shut the fuck up."

Jesus, its gone from sorority formals and coke binges to drinking alone with my cat in just a decade. Damnit. Pass me that pistol...

Stoli

Smithwicks - Why did it take so long to get this to the States? It's universally liked by men and women. Anyway, I'm glad I can now have a pint almost anywhere.

Any german hefeweizen - great lunch beer.

The Apprentice LA
 

Glad to hear it. From what I gather, some people think happy hour should last two hours at most and that a six pack will serve 2-3. HAH! 2-3 six packs serve one.

The Apprentice LA
 

Pacifico is goood shit. Tasty. Of course, Guinness is great.

And bullshit. You're a huge beer snob. Read your last two posts.

Who drinks Michelob? Isn't that the beer for 50ish bowling alley swingers?

Retraction
 

It has come to my attention, via process server, that I am mistaken. There is nothing to see here. Move along.

Judgment proofily yours,

The Apprentice LA
 

Pacifico is great, and it's the "people's beer". The Mexicans, Germans and Belgians brew some damn good beer.

The Apprentice LA
 

Those are all excellent beers to enjoy while you wax your vagina.

I like Stoli Vanilla. I didn't realize that no one drinks Stoli anymore. My friends do. I guess we are unhip.

did he know it was coming so he washed for you like Mr's wife, or did you surprise him like seb's date?

The Apprentice LA
 

I think its okay- retro like Coltrane's PBR.

Vanilla gives me bad hangovers. Citrus flavors are better for hangovers.

I drink Stoli too. I drink everything though. ABBAKiss:alcohol as Mikey:everything

If flinty was the recipient, he would need to be the one who washes.
