hmmm actual drink? I have put away enough JD in my day (neat or on the rocks) I am extremely fond of Grey Goose vodka. Shot -Corellijo` (spelling is bad, I know) tequlia or perhaps family reserve Cuervo. not that rum based crap. And after long fifteen hour days of being buried in paperwork and bullshit nothing is better than Makers on the rocks with some good old Red Bull - the energy drink. Beer Guiness or actually Labatt Ice (bless both the Canadaians and those Englishmen) Actually I could go for that right now. And maybe my last Romeo & Julietta cigar.... oh how I love to actually unwind

I also enjoy a good vodka martini (Absolut, Stoli, or Priviet) and Manhattans made with Jack Daniels or Wild Turkey Bourbon.

Scotch... Neat. -- Single malt ONLY. Preferably one of the brands with a "Glen-" in its name. (Glenlivett, Glenfiddich, etc.)Tequila... straight -- NFL (No f***ing lime)
Ouzo... on the rocks.
Beers:
Guinness... On draught if the bar goes through it fast enough that the keg doesn't get skunked. If not, then I'll take it in the "widget can". Don't bother with the bottled stuff.
Any other stout or porter that hits my fancy. I like to try them all. It's just that Guinness is the one that you can get the most often.
Basically when it comes to drinking the stuff's too damn expensive to trifle with the cheap junk. When I drink it's going to be something GOOD.
Posted by Sean M. Grimes (Member # 445) on 03-03-2001, 04:45 AM:
ahhh but Mr. Starkey, if you need the fu@king lime then you might as well move back to a kamakazi. And come on guys, if your favorite area bar does not go through enough guinness than it is to find a new bar. Ouzo can be good in it is muddled, otherwise just show me the way to the next bottle of malaca. Forgot about wine - any good valpol' is fine by me. ahh hell, show me either a Norelco or show me a bottle of rye.
Posted by Mark Gulbrandsen (Member # 72) on 03-03-2001, 11:25 AM:
Ah, Yes. I remember that English Wine we had at your place on New Years a number of years back Gord.
Favorite drink? Never. Too many good drinks to drink! Just like one could never ahve a favorite film.Good Stuff!

Shochu: All of them!
Ales: Thomas Hardy! Harp, Bass, Fuller's ESB, Theakston's Old Peculiar, Corsendonk, Chimey...
And the mixes of the above: Black and Tan, Black Velvet (Guiness and Cider), Port and Guiness...
And a French beer (!?): Adelscot!

I think you guys all know toooo much about beer, I went to bartending school and I don't even remember all those beers Isn't it funny how you can bartend at 18 and you have to be 21 to drink??? I never understood.....

Black Sheep Riggwelter,Old Speckled Hen,Stock's Old Horizontal(RIP), Leadboiler,Enoch's hammer, Old Eli,Timothy Taylors Landlord,Bateman's XXX ,Fuller ESB,Tetley's Mild (pre 1980),Courage Imperial Russian Stout etc etcGuinness of course, Brace of Grouse with ice, a good crusted port
But my real favourite .. the one someone else buys
As for confusion over age when I first Florida in 1984 it was still possible to buy a beer in a bar when you were 18 but when I went to buy a six pack at the store attached to a local gas store there was a sign saying "Over 25 only ,ID required" 
I was flattered and suprised when the guy at the desk asked me if I was 25.

I'm experimenting with a new idea. All the pundits say that too much alcohol is bad for you. So how does one get a decent buzz and remain healthy?I may have stumbled on an answer from the health food field!
Homeopathic medicine takes a tiny amount of a substance and puts it in a large amount of pure distilled water. According to the thinking, the more dilute the solution, the more powerful the effect. I happen to have a water distiller, so now all I need to do is properly take a single drop of pure vodka and infuse it into a quart of water. Drinking a glass of the resultant liquid should give a very powerful kick without the nasty effects. Don't try this at home.
Posted by Randy Stankey (Member # 64) on 03-04-2001, 06:12 PM:
According to Homeopathy you have to use some substance to cause an opposite reaction. For instance one would use an extract of Poison Ivy sap to cure a rash caused by touching the plant. (A VERY oversimplified example)Therefore, you would use a drop of Vodka in a quart of distilled water to cure a hangover.
Posted by Jerry Chase (Member # 660) on 03-04-2001, 07:22 PM:
Darn. Hmmm. How about a quart of vodka and a drop of water? Nope, that won't work. A drop of vermouth looking to attract a bottle of gin? Nah.This is tougher than I thought. Opposite of getting a buzz, huh? Bad coffee? A drop of coffee in a quart of water? Nah, used to sell that at the drive in. No luck there.
What would make one sit up, stone cold sober? Technicolor with a right reels, inspected and on time every time guarantee? Can't put that in water. 30/70 terms on the first week in the exhibitor's favor? Nope, won't wash.
A drop of film-guard? Nope, all the booth dirt would stick to me. Taxes. Yeah, that's the ticket. I'll try putting a tiny bit of a tax form in water. Just in case it doesn't work, I'll have a jar of kan-tuck moonshine standing by.

Bob,
I used to have a 35mm of YDD in my collection but I traded it for an I.B. Tech Music Man. Who can resist "Ya Got Trouble", and Buddy Hackett singing the Shapoopi" or the incredible I.B. Tech job on that film.
But if I had to pick a favorite I'd probably pick "The Titfield Thunderbolt", "Smallest Show On Earth", "Cinema Paradiso", "Music Man", Casablanca, "Titanica"," Everest", "True Lies", "Uncle Buck", "Planes, Trains And Automobiles", "Patton", "Shawshank Redemption", "Sound Of Music", "The Godfather", "Godfather 2", "Naked Prey", "The Navigator", "Safety Last", "The Great Dictator","The Meanest Man In The World","Men In White", "Its A Mad Mad World", Oh heck, give me a break here..........I'd be on line typing all night.

Did Bob Maar ask for another Martini yet?
Posted by Andrew Duggan (Member # 1302) on 06-26-2003, 03:58 PM:
A quality Black & Tan (Guiness and Bass only. No lame substitutions!!) is always my poison of choice. You guys should remind me to bring a few complimentary bottles of my home brews for the discriminating drinkers, next time theres some sort of Film-Tech gathering ![[Wink]](wink.gif)
Posted by Craig Hanham (Member # 1010) on 06-26-2003, 06:04 PM:
Bombay Sapphire gin
Kilkenny Ale
Guinness if in the mood
Drambuie on the rocks (or Glayva or Lochanora)
Most of the time though, Monteiths Black or Monteiths Original Ale, the stuff brewed in Greymouth, Westcoast, South Island, New Zealand, Ahhh mothers milk.
Posted by Joe Beres (Member # 678) on 06-26-2003, 07:15 PM:
Knob Creek Whiskey
A well made Whiskey Sour
Guiness
I'll try any beer, there are lots of great little breweries all over the world, but especially Belgium. I wish you could get more Belgian beers in the states. ![[Frown]](frown.gif)

Bill:
Considering that today is my birthday I have been ordering Martini's since I woke up this morning. Worked all day and then drove to Newport and never stopped by the "Fuzz". How's that for luck!
Excuse me bartender I will have one more and please back it up. ![[Smile]](smile.gif)
Posted by Paul Mayer (Member # 355) on 06-26-2003, 07:39 PM:

What, no Irish Coffee drinkers? Love about 6 ounces of coffee to 1 ounce each of say Bushmills Whiskey and Baileys Cream, a warm and tasty treat! As far as beer goes, Guinness properly drawn at the tap please. I do like to at least sample as many kinds of quality beers as I can get my hands on though. IPA's, Belgians, Bocks, Stouts, Porters, Ales ... what a wonderful list of endless goodness!

Wow, I posted in this thread back when I was a Carter...I wish I still looked like that! Hehe...
Now that I AM old enough to drink (but still don't much) I like a nice Coffee Bailey's mix or a old fasioned Pina Colada...YUM! I've still never tried a Martini!
Posted by Bob Maar (Member # 763) on 06-27-2003, 05:57 PM:
You will always be a Carter to me. AND I was going to mix you a Gibson Martini when Adam came to Boston later this year. Now I will still mix it, freeze it and send it to you and one for Don also.
Michael, You drank Martini's in Las Vegas with me and Phil. So I know you are no angel.
Posted by Andy Muirhead (Member # 712) on 06-27-2003, 07:32 PM:
Stella Artois always!!
Guinness occasionally when in Ireland, which is frequently. NEVER on this side of the pond. Although not too many as it does have does have some, em, side effects the next day - anyone? anyone?
All you Guinness lovers over there would be in heaven if you sampled a pint in the homeland - I'll have one for you next time I'm over!
Posted by John T. Hendrickson, Jr (Member # 849) on 06-27-2003, 09:04 PM:
Happy (now belated) birthday, Bob. I'm going to toast you with my favorite: Manhattan with Philadelphia blended whiskey and Martini & Rossi red vermouth. Mixed 3:1, on the rocks!!
Posted by Bob Maar (Member # 763) on 06-28-2003, 12:39 AM:
Thanks John,
While you were writing that I was out singing with the Sauce and downing some delicious martini's....
See the receipe below.
Cheers!!!

Andy,
Although I agree that drinking Guinness from the Mother Ship must be better, even if only on principle, the beer we get here is getting better and better all the time!
With the advent of the "Widget Can" and the "Rocket Bottle" Guinness is a damn-sight better than it used to be! Because of that, and other reasons, it's getting more popular over here. More bars are willing to install the special tap systems to serve Guinness Draught and they are selling-through faster.
The worst taste in the world is a skunky Guinness! That's why you'll hear a lot of people in the USA say, "I tasted Guinness a long time ago and it was ICKY!" The truth is that they were drinking spoiled beer from old stocks which had been shipped over long ago and which were served from air-pressurized taps by beertenders who didn't even know how to pour the stuff correctly! No wonder!
Bad Guinness tastes like ASS! ![[puke]](graemlins/puke.gif)
Posted by Aaron Mehocic (Member # 15) on 06-28-2003, 04:10 PM:
Mmmmm Guiness. An acquired taste for sure, but once you've got it, there is no such thing as another stout.
Posted by Paul Mayer (Member # 355) on 06-28-2003, 06:12 PM:
Oh I'm not so sure about that Aaron. Here, try a Beamish!
