I don't drink often. Maybe a couple times a year. But being home all time time I am starting to wig out a bit. Assuming I do start drinking. Where do I start? I don't much like beer.

Just a heads up, if you do start drinking regularly your immune system is going to compromised when you eventually get coronavirus. That said, if you don't like beer then vodka goes with pretty much anything.

While it is indeed a good time to start drinking, there is also gonna be a very little reason to stop which might lead to all sorts of awful poo poo.

I've done the opposite. I never realised how much damage I was doing to my brain, even casual drinking I can't stand it anymore. It's like a revulsion builds up inside of me I've become a super square.

If you want to go whiskey, a good entry level is the Canadian stuff. When you get a taste for it, you can start expanding. This is especially convenient if you're young and can't drive yet, because it's easier to carry around a hip flask instead of a six pack. I weaned off coffee, but replaced it with alcohol after St. Patrick's day. No, I don't have a problem.

What DO you enjoy? What boozes have you liked in the past? And more generally do you like sugar, fruit, milk? Sour, bitter, umami? That might be a good start. How have you drank in the past? Did you get smashed?

Stick with 120 proof bourbon OP. The alcohol % is enough to kill off coronavirus. It' a win-win.

Probably better off with weed if you can get a hook up. Make a hobby out of it, buy a bit of everything and mix cocktails.

Beer, its the most diverse alcoholic drink, from classic and traditional styles to modern stuff being made today, its hard to get bored, you've always got stuff to try for the first time. It adds a whole excellent element to enjoying getting plastered.

sake is my poison of choice, even relatively cheap stuff is good it gets me hosed up faster than other alcohols, if that is my goal, and I like the drunk it gives me

Rum & Cokes are incredibly cheap, easy to drink, and your local grocery store is likely to have all 2 ingredients no matter how bad panic buying is in your area. Replace Coke with Sprite for variety, and to have Sprite on hand when you inevitably get hungover.

Water it down to taste. There's no such thing as too much water. This strategy has several benefits: - Expense will discourage binge drinking. - Water will keep you hydrated, because you are not an experienced drinker and you will suffer terrible hangovers if you try to jump straight into the deep end. - Your newly refined palette will let you act superior to beer drinking plebs. Be sure to loudly scoff at anyone that drinks anything but scotch, it will make you extremely popular. -You should spend all your money anyways, the end of days has come.

Lmao no it won't and I say this as a Scotch drinker and an expert in the region with a class certificate to show for it. If you get a taste for single malts you'll drink single malts like water. I've finished 200 dollar bottles in less than a week. Discipline and moderation dictates your drinking habits, price has nothing to do with it. Expensive taste just makes a drinking habit pricier, if you're really suffering the compulsion to guzzle a price tag will make no difference. This is a drug, not some luxury good that's purely physical.

Guess I'm a Bagpiper guy now. I tried to find out what kind of booze it was out of some weird curiosity, and all I could find was a Whiskey company from India, but it doesn't look at all like this Bagpiper ad. It looks nothing like any version of Bagpiper I could find on Google and that's clearly not a whiskey bottle. I think it's something called a "surrogate advertisement", I saw this in an article featuring the exact Bagpiper ad pictured above as an example. Some website called thesocialvision posted:The whole concept of surrogate advertising is believed to have started from Britain. The British housewives protested strongly against the liquor advertisements. They felt that those ads were provoking their husbands. More people were complaining, and it rose to that level that the liquor advertisements were banned. The housewives forced them to promote juices and soda under their brand name, which later became an alternative solution for the brands in the liquor and cigarette industry. lol of course this practice originated in Britain. So they got a soda bottle and used an idea that wouldn't need to actually show any liquor in the ad. Clever Punkinhead fucked around with this message at 12:31 on Mar 31, 2020 |

buy some 5 o'clock and go to the liquor store and ask for a bunch of empty bottles of really expensive vodka and fill them up and then pretend you're sharing the expensive stuff. no one will ever know the difference and you'll look like a baller you can do the same thing with barefoot wines actually.

Advertising for alcohol products is illegal in my country and breweries sometimes get around it by advertising for their non-alcoholic beer but mostly don't bother. The surrogate advertising thing would probably not be allowed here I think.

I could barely sleep last night, and finally decided to have a can of Kilkenny. I didn't realize it was 5am, so I have started drinking today before the sun came up.
