Strawberry Frozen Daquiris. White rum with lemon frizzante and cranberry. Vodka-cranberries, obviously. Singapore Slings. Jello shots and Marvin Gaye And I had a dream once where sweet champagne was really good.

The trouble is, I can take a lot of booze without feeling the effects, but my sense of taste, like my hearing and touch, is really sensitive. This means that I'm stuck pounding back girl drinks, but because the prepackaged ones have such cheap shit making up their booze-portion I have to mix mine myself.

I know it makes me sound like a bitch, but I don't care; there is a taste difference between Smirnoff and Stoly, and Stoly is just fucking better.

Tequila sunrises. I'm odd though, because I actually enjoy the taste of cheap tequila.

That said, I like the taste of expensive tequila too.

I'm a fan of Jose gold, myself. May not be great tequila, but it's good enough for my tastes.

White Russian. I love that taste of alcohol and coffee. Unfortunaely I'm lactose intolerant.

I also really love dacquiris, specifically fuzzy navels. Oh, and martinis.

Oh my. >_<

That reminds me of the time I tried Spumante. It was pretty horrible.

I don't mind "girly" drinks: cocktails like frozen daquiris and ginger cosmos can pack a serious punch (even though it tastes like it shouldn't), but it's this weird thing where the intoxication hits your legs before it hits your head.

Spumante... varies a lot. Some if it, I kind of like, though it is definitely not among my favourite kinds of wine. But most of it is rather horrible, I agree.

Champagne is delicious. It's like beer, but not quite as bitter.

I tried champagne a couple of times, and I was not very impressed with it. Bordeaux wine is good, however, even though I feel that in French wines as a whole the wine takes too much the taste of the wood of the barrel.

Technically, by the way, "spumante" only means "very sparkly wine" — the term is usually used for stuff like Prosecco or Brachetto, but I have heard people using it even for stuff like my region's Lambrusco — which is sparkly, sure, but is not what I would call a "spumante" myself.

By the way, Lambrusco is also very much subject to Sturgeon's Law — most of it is mediocre at best, but there are a few varieties which are actually pretty good.

Oh yeah, I forgot about Smirnoff. I love that stuff, Idc if it's only 5% flavored beer.

When it comes to beer, Trappist beers rule.

Hm, the Norse thing when it came to alcohol was mead, right?

I never tried it, to be honest, so I have no idea how it tastes like. Neil Gailman seems to dislike it, but sooner or later I want to give it a try.

Mead is fucking delicious. It's nice and sweet and makes you want to hump everything that moves.

Mead is liquid sex. Pour a glass for you and a lady and go on your own personal honeymoon.

Is there really a difference in the effect of different kinds of alcohol? I mean, does tequila(for instance) give a different buzz than mead?

@Mead haters: Clearly, you sampled the wrong variety. That's not hyperbole; most mass-produced examples taste like old socks and ass. Sky River (unfortunately only available in the Pacific Northwest), Lover's Mead (ditto) and Staggering Bastard (an SCA original) are damn delicious.

@poison: The "experts" say there's no difference, but every drinker I know disagrees. draw your own conclusions.

Poison: Yes. I actually think it's less the alcohol itself and more all the other shit in the drink that causes the different effects.

Kinda sorta, but I don't know how much of it is a pyschological effect and how much of that is to do with the composition of the drink.

In the end, an excess of any and all varieties pretty much result in the same thing.
