Gin and bitter lemon like an old lady, but when it comes to beers there's not much beating this shit:

If it's a pint, any cider that they have on tap.

If not, vodka and cranberry juice. :cool:

I got given that by some dumb Australian at the weekend, when I asked for Irn Bru and vodka. Awful.

Vodka cranberry is the tits on a night out, and goes especially well with eccies I find. I'll fucking drink anything though. Red wine, g & t, tom collins if it's a cocktail place, ale, lager, whisky. All good in the right context. Prosecco goes nice with greasy food as well.

Mixing cranberry juice, a diuretic, with MDMA, which causes massive dehydration, isn't the smartest move you could make.

I tend to prefer a good pint of cider over most things, especially on a night out, but whisky and red wine have their place every now and again too.

Apart from a gin and tonic that the missus makes from time to time, I don't remember the last time I would've mixed something with my alcohol. It almost never does it any good, unless you're in some sort of cocktail place where they really know their shit (that's just not really my scene).

Buying off someone you know is obviously better than buying off some sweaty bloke in the smoking bit, but pills aren't 'pretty fucking safe' no matter who you're getting them from, because your mate who knows a guy isn't making them himself. We had some for chemical analysis in uni and of the 24 tested more than half had traces of strychnine.

Of course, of course. Fair points. But I mean, I'd never touch stuff until I knew other people had already taken stuff out of that "batch" etc. And generally when people die from dodgy pills they've done like 8 or something ridiculous. If you're doing a couple of pills from a trusted source, and you know people who have had no issues I'd say it would be pretty fucking safe.

Ice cold Strongbow is my go to at home, any old lager when I'm out.

Flavoured vodka is the pits. That reminds me though, that 'New Amsterdam' vodka that's been advertised everywhere is terrible. Avoid it. I finished off a two litre bottle of Ciroq that's been sitting in my cupboard for about six months the other day, and I've decided that's now the only vodka I'll drink. So much smoother than anything else, including Grey Goose and the like.

Beer. Preferably something ale-y but a lager'll do as well. Failing that, whisky.

On the non-alcohol front I could drink milk all day if that wasn't such a terrible idea.

Milk is the opposite of good for you, in fact you shouldn't even be drinking milk past the age of two. Cow dairy in general is just not particularly meant for human consumption and we react weirdly to it. I guess if we had a human tit-milk extraction process it wouldn't be so bad. Especially if they hired supermodels to provide the milk and then posted their pics on the cartons, that could be a whole advertising campaign. People would clamor to buy the carton with the hottest girl on it and then talk about her milk for days

I drink far too many cans of Coca Cola despite barely leaving my house. I could buy 1 bottle and save myself a fiver a day but I find myself downing it when anything larger than a can is on offer.

If I'm drinking it's beer 90% of the time and a whiskey/coke if I should have stopped drinking hours ago. Long Island Ice Tea if it's cocktail night.

I enjoy Coca Cola, but I struggle to finish a simple 330ml can, but everything is better drunk from a can in my opinion.

Friends and I recently made vodka-soaked gummy worms and peach rings. They all found it more or less disgusting but I love that shit. Otherwise I'm partial to peach vodka.

My go-to drink in the house is currently an Italian soda of lychee nut mixed with Vimto flavoring. Either one is great on its own but together...

I've switched to the cans of Pepsi Max now too since they brought out the 500ml one. Definitely prefer it from the can.

It's interesting in a thread about alcohol, and in a discussion about artificial sweetener laden filth, someone sees fit to wade in on the anti-milk front. There's that gluten free Tesco Christmas advert doing the rounds as well. End of days stuff.

I rarely drink milk anymore , just almond or soya. I actually hate the flavour in latte's (which I don't really drink anymore because it's not a coffee.)

I think my beverage of choice is either a glass of red (malbec is usually a solid number), a pale ale or a whiskey (glenlivet or similar.)

I can only imagine the horror of me ten years ago reading the above post.

Whatever Cider is on tap, so usually Strongbow, Aspall or Symonds (which in particular is fucking lovely) and if there is nothing on tap then other than asking 'why the fuck am I here?' it'll be Kopparberg or Rekorderlig. Used to be mad for Pepsi Max but as part of the 'lose weight' plan I've had to cut that shit right down and now I love the Strathmore Flavoured Sparkling Water.
