Hey guys. My 21st birthday is around the bend and in America that means I'll be hitting the bars. I've been getting some input of what my night of inebriation should include but I thought who would know better than CBn about a mean drink list? Be it how to stir together the perfect vesper, finding the best bourbon, or personal favorite ale, I was wondering what is your guys' suggestions on what are must drinks, Bond or not?

Lafite Rothschild 2010. Tastes like ten grand; only costs six. Bargain.

[Mr. Blofeld]

Does it look like I give a damn?

[Righty007]

Here's a list of some of my favorite drinks/shots:

Beer: Bud Light (Licence to Kill), Molson Canadian, Labatt Blue, Hoegaarden, and Red Stripe (Dr. No)

Mixed Drink: Vodka (preferably Smirnoff) and grapefruit juice

Shots: Irish Car Bomb (drop a shot of Jameson (whiskey) and Baileys into a half pint of Guiness and chug quickly) and Jägerbomb (Jägermeister and Red Bull)

Righty, you are aware that Jägerbomb is a weapon ostracised by the UN? Much worse than dumdums...

Before we get to drinks, some advice:
- Eat a big meal of steak and fries a couple of hours before you start the drinking
- If you are going to drink the hard stuff don't over do it; stick to clear liquors
- Make your last drink an ice water and 3 aspirin
- Keep a glow-in-the-dark extra large, ribbed condom in your left trouser pocket at all times; place it such that even if you are handcuffed to a fixed object you can reach it with your free hand

Drinks:
- I don't recommend martinis for beginners, but if you are feeling sporty go with Grey Goose Vodka; it's so refined you'll barely taste the alcohol and your body will process it easier than something cheaper
- If you insist on bourbon, go with a Maker's Mark Manhattan; order it dry and without the cherry to keep it manly
- Stay away from Red Bull; even someone your age shouldn't be drinking that stuff

Cheers!

Kidding.

[Righty007]

Eric Stromberg is right; you always want to eat before and after drinking. Take aspirin before you go to bed to try to prevent a headache the next morning.

Ahhhh it's like I'm being coddled by fellow members. Precious Thanks for the good tips so far guys.

[hcmv007]

I like Crown & Coke; Bacardi & Coke & of course a Vesper. My big thing is drinking & driving-don't do that crap. A good drink isn't worth screwing up your life. If you dont eat a meal I suggest peanuts, crackers or pretzels or chips to munch on. For cheaper options, I suggest Seagrams 7 for Crown & Grocery store rum isn't bad either. For vodka I like Smirnof as Grey Goose is way overpriced IMO. Plus to stay even cheaper-drink at home. Most places water down their booze anyway then double charge. Got that last one from a former bartender. Not all bars do that, but still. Cheaper to drink at home.

[Righty007]

hcmv007 is right; it's much cheaper to drink at home. However, going to the bar with friends is a great way to socialize with your friends as well as make new friends.

Definitely agree with these.

I'm a big fan of rum and single malt whisky, but I've also got a thing for shots. Namely those involving Kahlua, Crème de Menthe, gin, vodka, cider, Baileys Irish Cream, Black Sambuca and/or Amaretto.

Choose wisely my friend.

[Santa]

Had a lot of eggnog last night. It's like drinking alcoholic custard. Delicious and appropriate for the time of year but not very manly.

And don't forget to brush your teeth and put on your 007 jammies before crawling into bed.

[Janus Assassin]

Always been a fan of Captain Morgan mixed with Coke, Sprite or Ginger Ale. Jim Beam Red Stag with Coke tastes like cherry coke. Beer wise, I enjoy Blue Moon and any domestics. Basically if someone throws alcohol in front of me, chances are I will drink it. I prefer to stay away from Jagermeister though.

[hcmv007]

Hot chocolate & Peppermint Schnapps is also a great Christmas drink.

[Messervy]

First, Happy near-birthday!
Second, I suggest Bollinger RD. Or Bollinger Grande Année (1996 if you can get one).

[Dustin]

For the Bollinger we suggest this.

[The Shark]

One of my favourite shots is the Brain Hemorrhage. Fill glass with three quarters peach schnapps, add one quarter Baileys Irish Cream (can never get enough of this stuff - that's the Celt in me), and a few drops of Grenadine.



Good for Halloween.

[Righty007]

Another great shot: Alien Secretion

Another great shot: Alien Secretion

On a similar note: Mr. Blofeld's favourite shot

[Harmsway]

My drink of choice is always bourbon on the rocks. Preferably Woodford Reserve.

[Judo chop]

British, Belgian and American craft ales, and German lagers.
Red wine with nuance.
Single Malt Scotch, neat. Highland, lowland, island. All are welcome.
The Martini. And what I mean by that is blue-cheese stuffed queen olives speared like Vargas and drowned like Vesper in either gin or vodka, or both.

[Aris007]

Single malt whiskey for the winter and beer for summer. That's what I prefer. And of course shots. But, one at a time. Never combined.
