Thread O'Booze REVISED!

[WestwayKid]

Id be in favor of anything that could improve the taste of gin.

If it ain't brown, I turn it down.

I like:
Old Rum
Whiskey

With the exception of a hot buttered rum on a cold winter's evening—which practically makes a blizzard feel worthwhile—I've never quite gotten to like the flavour of rum. There's something too overpowering in the taste.

I've really taken to rum over the past few years. It seemingly mixes with everything, though I prefer white rum to dark rum.

That's actually part of my disinterest in rum. I don't drink much pop anymore, so when I drink liquor I take it neat. Which I haven't cottoned to in the case of rum.

Yeah, straight rum can be rough. I only drink it when I can mix it with something. Guess I wasn't meant to be a pirate.

Mount Gay, soda water, and a lime is my drink of summer.

Don't make the immature joke, don't make the immature joke … fuck it:

Try a brand of rum called Zaya. It's real damn smooth, though it is a dark rum. But I hate rum, and even I like this one.

I just looked it up. $75 for a 26 here. Eeep. At the same time, it must be good. But I could never justify spending that much.

I see it for $12. Is $12 USD = to $76 CAD now?

I looked it up on the LCBO site (Ontario's govt liquor store): https://www.lcbo.com/webapp/wcs/stores/ ... msoac%253D

Thanks for the offer, but it's okay. Given that you can only buy liquor in government-operated stores, I'm pretty sure you can't ship it privately thru the mail.

All this talk about liquor reminds me of a story of a former friend whose alcoholism was reaching its critical depths. His wife was a teacher while he was a house husband and wrote (he's a pretty talented fiction writer). He was putting away a 26 of rye a day, plus a lot of beer at this point, but behaviourally masked it very well. But not the smell. One night, when getting into bed, his wife said, "Ugh, you smell like a brewery." "Distillery," he corrected. "I was drinking whisky."

I've had this in reverse. "You smell like liquor ". No it's beer.

Well then come to Seattle and I'll buy you rum all night.

Coinkadinkalink, the Boss just came back from a trip out West. A friend of hers who doesn't drink was given a mickey of coconut-flavoured light rum, which she figured she'd pass on to me (because I have no standards?). So I just opened it up. My god, it might be sweeter than that horrible mead experience a couple weeks ago. Smells like suntan lotion and tastes like sugar water.

The great thing about crap liquor is that you stop caring about the taste after a couple drinks. Just imagine yourself on a tropical beach. I'll make you a Jimmy Buffett playlist.
