Kevin's Watch

hehe just got back for a club agm at uni and we couldny decide what drink was best so her we go ill ask you guys to deide for us all i hopw thats sweet with you all!

I'll vote for Beer!

Just a bit of advice jedi...There's a specific forum called "The Galley" for food or drink related posts. You'll find it under the forum index heading titled "The Collective".

Cider, though I've been dying to try mead... or a variation of mead called, coincidentally, metheglin.

Thanks for the advice brinn, perhaps i should have hunted more for a more appropriate place to post this up suppose its too late now

Nah, Vain or Jay will come along some time and move it. No biggie.

Yeah, I'm going to go ahead and move this to that Galley Forum.-jay

Thanks Jay.

Um.... what's Absinth????

And my favourite isnt there.....bourbon, but I do like whiskey and rum.

Ew, absinthe is about 80% alcohol isn't it? I voted for red wine...mmmm.....

Beer.

Real absinthe is illegal in the US. I believe it's distilled from wormwood. The first time I ever heard about it was in Hemingway's For Whom the Bell Tolls. I believe I also saw it being imbibed recently in the movies From Hell and Moulin Rouge. There's also a bar on Bourbon Street called the Absinthe House, though they obviously don't sell real absinthe. I believe I tried a drink there that was supposed to taste similar... anise, maybe. Tasted like black licorice. I'd like to try the real thing once, but I don't think I'd probably like it.

ahhh...

ab·sinthe also ab·sinth
n.
A perennial aromatic European herb (Artemisia absinthium), naturalized in eastern North America and having pinnatifid, silvery silky leaves and numerous nodding flower heads. Also called common wormwood.
A green liqueur having a bitter anise or licorice flavor and a high alcohol content, prepared from absinthe and other herbs, and now prohibited in many countries because of its toxicity.

By the way, as strange as it is for a 21 year old college student, I have never had any alcohol. Well, except church wine. That doesn't count, heh.-jay

Wine for me...especially wine and champagne made from cherries intead of grapes....yummmmmm

I will try to rememebr to bring some to Elohimfest with me.

Real absinth has some interesting properties like changing colour when you add sugar and being a little hallucenagenic

Vodka and coke for me.

If I'm buying, it's wine.

If someone else is buying, it's amaretto.

A bloke in Nottingham died after downing a yard of absinthe It's that bad...

My favorite is a drink I call liquid cocaine.

1 Ounce Jagermeister
1 Ounce Rumpleminze
1/2 once Bacardi 151
It's best if all of the above are chilled.
Warning!!! This is very strong and is not a sipping drink. Pour all in a glass and down it.

ooh thats that stuff Johny Depp consumed and later killed him in that movie .. about jack the ripper

Is It? I never heard about that. I really like the drink though. I can't have more than three in a 3 or 4 hour period though.

oh oops!! haha .. no sorry .. i must 've missed a post .. i meant the abysinth thing
