Re: New things to accomplish for Drunkards.

Drinking singlemalt with strangers, saying nothing in a random pub on a dazed day, while Amazing Grace plays in the back, on a rainy afternoon

Re: What are you drinking right now?

It was the beer peeps were drinking, and to be honest - I am not really a light lager man. That said, Peroni is crisp and guffable as hell.

Re: non-scotch whiskey

Walker Red is something hipsterish, seems that the bartenders like to make cocktails out of that stuff nowadays. Last trip in London, at the Hix peeps were making Sazeracs with it. Still, when it comes to non-scotch... Japanese all the way here. The climate is perfect. Amrut as I mentioned is well w...

Re: Homemade Vodka Infusions

Holy shit. First, all the concoctions seem pretty awesome and to be honest horrid at the same time which were posted before in this thread.

Re: Vodka: The Ultimate No-Tell Booze?

As an avid vodka drinker, the stories about it being non detectable are unfortunately false. But as an avid vodka drinker, it is the best booze to get hammered with if you are used to it - suppose it applies to all, but anyways. Great uses of vodka? Glad you asked. On breakfast, and as I assume most...
