Hello fellow drunkards. I'm in the unfortuanate circumstance of enjoying getting wasted but not knowing what to drink. I tend to stick with beer, wine, and the occasional random shot but I've become unsatisfied with this. Frankly I don't know shit about alcohol.
Here is what I propose: tell me to drink something and I'll go out and drink it. Anything is fair game as long as I can get it.
Some facts about me: 22 year old male, Canadian, and currently drinking Sapporo.
Tell me what to drink

Re: Tell me what to drink
Duke, my advice is any bourbon that comes in a big bottle with a handle.

Re: Tell me what to drink
Begin to learn shit about alcohol. Grab a cocktail book, start with the classics: Martinis, Manhattans, Old Fashioneds, etc. Stay away from the over-sweet crap with joke names. Take a brewery tour. Try a new drink every day. Get out there and live.

Re: Tell me what to drink
I do not understand how one finds oneself in situation like this. I'm 22 and I've drank like million types of scotch alone. And slammed down pretty much everything I've gotten my hands on to widen my tastes. Don't be scared homie.

Re: Tell me what to drink
Drink anything and everything.If you don't like something, move on until you find something you do. Find your niche. Focus on that, and find your "drink". Then go back and try shit you previoulsy hated. Just keep drinking. Avoid trendy drinks, or drinks associated with tween girls. Learn how to make a few cocktails. If all else fails, stick to bourbon.

Re: Tell me what to drink
All of the above is sound advice. Listen to them Duke, they're Doctors.
I would add one other bit of advice on the Martini front that Fabric brought up. There are only two Martinis. Traditional and the James Bond Vodka Martini.
Any thing else with "tini" slapped on the end is the sixth and next to last sign of the coming Apocalypse. Avoid them at all cost lest you seal your doom.

Re: Tell me what to drink
The day I turned 21 I spent most of my money on one or two of each type of liquor, some vermouth, a few bottles of wine (red, white, sparkling), and some different beers.
Then I drank them. Straight, mixed, warm, cold, morning, night. It didn't happen overnight, but sometime in the next couple years I developed true opinions and experience with most types of drink.
But that was before I found this forum. What you should do is the above, but post here while drinking them.

Like Bur said. Get some scotch, learn to love it early, it's pretty much the best shit out there.

Re: Tell me what to drink
The above is solid advice. Need specifics? Buy a bottle of Evan Williams black and hit up your used bookstore for a pre 1970dinner copy of a Mr. Boston's Drink Guide. Start working your way through each. Few would argue that either are the highest of their respective genres but they are solid starting points.
You may even find they are reliable standards if all else fails.

Re: Tell me what to drink
Single Malt whisky. Try Ardbeg. Sort yourself out before it's too late.
