    Whiskey

    Hello Fellow service members,
    i come to you all and i have a serious question. i am generally a light drinker and i have been using this year to experiment and trying to find alcohol that i can drink and get nice ad tipsy without wasting that much time on shitty tasting shots. being a lightweight i have generally stayed away from the heavier liquors and stronger drinks for fear that i would get sick. i have tried a gentlemen jack and coke and that did make me sick but i bought some Jamesons special reserve the other day and i was extremely surprised at how smoothly it went down and how well it worked. my question is this: what are some other drinks that have a decent taste without being disgusting.
    Ooh to the Rah!!

    Crown Royal is pretty smooth, not sure if it's available in the US though.

    I couldn't agree more. Crown Royal is my whiskey of choice, and it is available everywhere.

    Indecision may or may not be my problem.

    Re: Whiskey

    Crown = Dr. pepper, and Jack = Coke. So whatever soda you like to mix with, go with the preferred.

    Re: Whiskey

    Does no one drink whiskey straight anymore? Wimps . Just kidding. Crown does go down smooth and I would have to say it's one of my favorites of all that have been named which I've drank them all extensively since I was a young age. Sadly I have not drank much of anything since I got put on blood thinners for a blood clot I got a few months back because it screws with the medicines levels causing it to go high. I have to give blood every couple weeks to monitor the levels to insure it's not too high and cause me to start bleeding internally. :cry: :cry: :cry:

    Re: Whiskey

    go with Jim Beam: Black,

    very smooth and tasty all by itself, in a shot, or a shallow glass with ice.

    Re: Whiskey

    Try a single barrel aged 8 to 10 years of bourban Knob Creek, Bookers, single barrel Jack, and I could go for ever. Plus if your going to mix use diet coke. The artificial sweetner transports the ETOH over the blood brain barrier quicker, this way you can hit the floor quicker. I would also advise you drink a glass of water for every 2 to 3 drinks and remember the liver can only process .02 of you blood alchol level evey hour. So if if take you 2 to 3 drinks to DUI .08% then this will take the body 4 hours to process all the ETOH out. Happy drinking.

    Re: Whiskey

    Just trying to help sorry I can a a little to medical sometimes but that what i do for living now. Plus as you get older I found it easyer to get drunk quicker and then go to bed. Hangovers are hell starting in your late 30 and become worst in your mid 40's. I scared of what they will be in my 50's.

    I picked up a bottle of this tonight as a "I survived the work week" gift to myself. It was between that and Crown Royal Black, but the Jim Beam was a little cheaper. I'm impressed with it. Jim Beam isn't bad, but kind of middle of the road for the most part. This, however, was really smooth and the taste was very surprising. Good recommendation!

    Indecision may or may not be my problem.

    Re: Whiskey

    Black Velvet and Diet Coke. The Canadians make the best whiskey hands down IMO.

    2 words: Absolut RipIt (will disolve your stomach lining though)

    I rarely drink hard liquer, and usually regret my decsion when i do. Stick to beer, it is delicious and nutricious. Switch to fancy imports if your in a hurry to get tipsy, way more alcohol (I likes New Belgium Fat Tire)
