From what I have read, of early American riverboat days, and what the French did: was you poured it in a glass, put a knife (butter knife) along the top and put a cube of sugar on it. Then, you poured water on the sugar cube until it dissolved and went into the Absinthe. Then it would take on a different color. Probably one of the biggest pre-cursors to mixed drinks, I would think.

Thanks memorydream. Now i'm curious to maybe try a sip.

Well, enjoy it. It's still illegal here in the States and last I recall they seemed to have an opinion of it that it was pretty much a Narcotic here. Still, to make it really good, it's supposed to take a lot of time to make. More info at: sepulchritude.com/chapelperilous/absinthe/index.html

Absinthe may be illegal here, but you can order a bottle on line and have it shipped here. It's not illegal to import, just to sell.

Nevermind. :food-smil

Yuengling lager

Just for informational purposes: The stuff with the formaldehyde is Sang Thip Royal Thai Liquor. It's basically rice whiskey; the version I have is the "superior", meaning it's aged 5 years.

It actually tastes pretty good, but I tend to save it for extreme cases. It's also hard to come by, and since I don't have any people in Thailand any more, this bottle has to last. If you have any mates in Australia who holiday in Thailand, try to get them to mail you a bottle.

San Miguel, Estrella Dorada and (german people would kill me but) i love Henninger Premium

I really like a few rounds of Sake Bombs with a bunch of friends. I like the cans that Sopporo has, but I enjoy Asahi more. I usually drink Heineken though.

well like English Beers. Boddigntons, is good, Smitwicks....geman beer Becsk or I like the doble bocks.....Somone mentioned Chimay form Belguim it's expensive but good. Stienlager form NZ isn't bad Sparo is good too...I like my beer but I avoid it as much as possible I don't need to invest in a beer gut yet

when I did drink, it was always a nice cold Bud. (I'm white trash.)

It was quite good, but still not quite my type of drink. Vodka and Cranberry for me (NO LIME!).

I'm not a beer person either...
That Vodka and Cranberry sounds good... :cheers:

that's right. :rryumy:
it has to be fresh, that's the whole secret.
:beerchug:

On tap- Guinness.
Casual drinking- bacardi silver/ smirnoff ice triple black (yeah, I looove bitch beer, now silence your face!)
Gimme a 40, I'm gettin FUCKED!- Mickeys

Guinness.......with a Bushmill's back lol

I frequently buy Euroshopper beer (You'll probably won't know the brand, it's the cheapest you'll find, only 59 eurocents per 0,5 liter) Everyone in amsterdam calls it Zwerverbier, Bum-beer when translated to english (no, that's not bum as in "ass")

If it's beer, then is Plzenjsko Pivo (Plzenj=Pils) or Staropramen (two old scool beer's coming from tchek's)
then.... HEKTAP (nektar) from my hometown 11,9% alcohol.... a real infusion

p.s. I still have half bottle of Van Gogh absinthe at home (for special cases)
and I don't drink so often

root beer- I'm going through all the home brew brands...turns out theres a big market there for us ex-drinkers.P.

i have to say guinniss (oops still drunk) or if i cant get that i will have shiner bock from of all places shiner texas good stuff not the best but good nevertheless :cheers: cheers

I mostly drink finnish beers, my favourit is the local one called Karhu= A Bear. It even came to third place on some very big beer festivals this year. From imported ones I like Guinness and Carlsberg. Absinthe is some evil stuff, last I drank it I became so funny that I nearly got beaten up by group of 40 people.

Guinness girl here. It's because I had an irish nana whose influence came over me. I used to steal sips of it during St. Pattys day when I was younger, over the traditional corn beef, cabbage and soda bread I ate.

I also enjoy a good wine :)

If you ever go to Tornio, there is a beer making plant there, and every few days all you can smell is beer. Let me tell you, you better like beer, thats all you can smell for hours.
