I was drinking Absinthe in Germany. Later that night I was looking for alligators with a lovely young lady and playing ding and ditch (something very un German like to do!) with same lovely young lady.
I've learned if you can ride through the bed spin, without puking of course, it stops. I just breathe heavy until it evens out .
Put one foot on the floor, it makes the room stop. I don't know why, but it does.

Makers Mark Manhattan! cant drink too many though they are quite powerful if made correctly. I almost forgot you have to have the imported nicaraguan cigar with it.
And if at a cocktail party, I can work my way through the entire list whilst at the same time turning up my nose at how unmanly the whole concept is and ordering a beer chaser in order to add some extra testosterone.
For an absolutely "authentic" Manhattan, I use rye, specifically Bulleit 95% rye. Can't be beat.
The wife and I have started having gin and tonics in the evening. Just one each, and we share the bit that's left in the cocktail shaker. It's a great way to start the evening off.
Jay failed to mention that his cocktail shakers are 5 gallon buckets.

Never a truer word was spoken...it's a constant source of annoyance to me that you can't get the damn stuff in a supermarket in the UK. Comprehensive selection of scotch, yes...a few Irish whiskies, yes...four or five different bourbons, yes, but no rye! And I don't want to pay extortionate delivery charges to buy it online.

Favourite high? If I'm honest then I'll have to answer, all of 'em.
Beer. Only ever had two kinds....good and better. Bud doesn't count as no-one could seriously consider it beer.
Jack Daniels. Sipped neat from a glass if I'm refined. Swigged straight from the bottle if I'm not (and the missus is nowhere in sight) and sometimes with coke if the desire takes me.
Bourbon. If for some reason I can't get Jack.
Vodka tonic. No lemon or lime wedges....why do they do that? Talk about ruining a good drink.
Gin and tonic. If no vodka....again, sans lemon/lime.
Red wine. Either expensive or quaffer.....all the same to me.
I also have an expensive penchant for French champagne.

Never much cared for Scotch, but I often wonder that now I'm older I should try to aquire a taste for some of the well aged stuff.
Sorry for the essay......I guess you could say I'm partial to a tipple.
