teach me about alcohol. i've never been a big drinker, but i've been going out a lot at night lately and am not that well-versed when it comes to ordering drinks. i usually just order a gin-tonic.
i'm ok with beers, i know what i like. but what are some good hard liquors to order? we usually start out in a loungy environment, and then go to dancy place after, so i think the setting should play a role in what i get. gimme a good 'mans' drink. tell me some good whiskeys etc etc. what are you favorite brands in each 'category' of alcohol?

If you want something that is powerful but actually tastes good, cant really go wrong with Captain Morgan Black Cask Spided Rum. You'll get smashed pretty good and it tastes like caramel or something.
Have a little in a glass over ice. Yummy.

All depends how drunk you want to be at the end of the night. sugary drinks will jack you up the next morning too.
Vodka:
Diet Red Bull and Vodka if you're going to be out late.
Lemon drop shots
Greyhound or Salty Dog
Not too manly but a screwdriver topped with Malibu is delish.
White Russian is good AND manly godamnit.- The dude abides with the white russian, although its very hard for me to get drunk off those.CygnusZero4
- By the time I do I feel like I drank an entire bottle of cream and want to puke.CygnusZero4

Actually if you're having a bad day or week just walk straight to the bar and say double Long Island iced tea no ice.
- i used to get long islands, but i heard they were more of a woman's drink. so i stopped.CanHasQBN
- Do not eat much before LITs. I unloaded on a hotel desk after a few of those and some pizza.CygnusZero4
- They are a bit dainty. My gf loves them.CygnusZero4
- well they're kinda sweet, so you drink them like it's fucking koolaid. i've vomited on them. bleh.CanHasQBN
- have you had Long BEach iced tea? I think that's more girlyHijoDMaite

Just ask for a Johnnie Black on the rocks.
It's the 2nd cheapest Johnnie. It's good for the price. It's a blend, not a single malt, so you won't have to listen to some snob proclaim that you shouldn't dilute your whisky with ice. It's a no-nonsense high-quality whisky that everyone likes. Every bar has it, so that way no one finds out that you know little about whiskies.
End of thread.- i actually sometimes get JW Red on the Rocks. Is that a blend too? Ice is ok?CanHasQBN
- All JW is blended. I'm one of the rare scotch drinkers who will admit that this is ok. JW is great because it's easy to get everywhere.noneck
- All Johnnie Walkers are blends. Red is the cheapest, still better than most other brands. But has a slight aftertaste.randommail
- JW Black on the rocks is a great manly drink.noneck

gin and tonic works. doesn't stain your shirt after you get hammered and spill on yourself too...
tanqueray ten is amazing.

If you want to keep it healthy and low key order top shelf vodka, soda and a squeeze of lemon all night.

if you have to add ice to your whiskey, make sure it's no more than 2-3 cubes, tops
any more than that and you've watered it down too much
- snob or not, the shit tastes like you're drinking a melted ass pepsi that's been sitting in your car for a dayscarabin
- LOL. you're actually right scarabin. But some ice helps for whiskey noobs.randommail

I don't go to clubs anymore but I started drinking Tullamore Whisky on the rocks at poker nights. Not the fanciest but it's good. I let it sit for about five minutes and start sipping. Then I drink a glass of water between each one. I feel great and it doesn't jack me up the next day.

whatever it is, drink lots of it.
that's the proper way to drink.

If you have to ask people what to drink to seem "manly", I doubt you're all that "manly" to begin with. You should just drink whatever the fuck you think tastes good and be a man about that. ;\\
Sorry to come off rude, but it's ridiculous to drink some shit you don't know about or care for just to come off as masculine.
- you must be the angry drunk.CanHasQBN
- Nah, I hardly drink ever. I like to separate myself from the general douchebag population who does it to look cool or manly.cotton
- manly.cotton
- uhh. ok. yeah, you must be a cool guy to hang out with. fucking stick up your ass. lighten up babe.CanHasQBN
- I'm with cotton.
And also enjoyed seeing canhasqbn dig himself further down the hole.Peter - LOL. You think I give a shit if some random dude on QBN thinks I am "man enough" or whatever?CanHasQBN
- odd that that's what you focus on, instead of just sharing what drinks you like. you seem like really negative people.CanHasQBN
- Obv you do care what random people on QBN think. You did make the thread, didn't you?cotton
- LOL, thats a bit of a stretch. i dont care what you think about me. i asked for your favorite drinks...CanHasQBN
