my stepdad and I do bottle exchanges of wine and whisk(e)y

I was really just talking about drinking it in public, typically the guys don't go out to formal dining together

more wine for us!

Re: The 10 Commandments For Drinking Like A Man
 

I would like to see the age demographic of those who think that wine isn't manly. I would be willing to bet that the majority are under 30. Except Schneed, he's just another jerk from PA. (I meant that in the nicest possible way).

One of these days these guys will actually drink some wine thinking that they can take it down like beer and wake up the next day floored. We'll see how sissy wine is then.

Remember that no woman cares how much you can put away. In all honesty though I am a pretty heavy drinker I am not saying that I would win, but I can definately hold my own...

Didn't you say before that you don't drink that heavy because your children will be their bouncy little selves no matter what, or something like that?

Re: The 10 Commandments For Drinking Like A Man
 

I drank a few Madras's last night is that a non manly drink? Its a 1/3 Vodka, 1/3 OJ, 1/3 cranberry juice, which would make that a fruity drink. If it make any difference I was drinking them and using power tools in my garage. Does that equal the two out?

or we can do a pool

Drinking while using power tools is the most manly thing possible.

Hey why not have a drinking contest on line. Just agree what will be drank and everyone drinks the same thing at the same time until people drop out. Last one posting wins. Spelling and grammer will not count against the person. Have it on a Friday or Saturday night.

Re: The 10 Commandments For Drinking Like A Man
 

There is no obligation to drink because no one would be watching.

Clever

Maybe it's just me but unless I'm also watching a game, when I do serious drinking (which is considerably less as I get older) I'm usually out with my wife or buddies (or both). The last thing I'm doing is posting here

There's a solution that I don't want to see play out. Accidentally hit the skip button and vomit over what you see in the next shot. Then you've got to start all over and get the alcohol back in your system. To prevent yourself from getting a DUI by driving to the liquor store you would have to get a straw out of the kitchen to slurp up your spillage. Either that or get a paper towel to soak it all up so that you can wring it back into your mouth... I say no thanks.

Speaking of which did anyone see how well the chewing gum traveled in "Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist"?

i'm 36. some on here seem to think that because i/we don't consider wine manly that i/we have never drank it or do not currently drink it. personally i've drunk plenty of wine and still do from time to time but it's still not a manly drink imo. just because your a man and you like to do certain things does not mean that all those things are manly. i know some men that do things regularly but those things are not manly, like getting manicures or peticures or watching the bachelor or ordering a salad as your main meal or still wearing pajamas or DRINKING WINE or.............

Re: The 10 Commandments For Drinking Like A Man
 

It's not that drinking wine is manly, just that it's not the opposite.

I know people that talk shit on wine but drink absolute crap like Crown Royal or Jack Daniels.

they're both flat and sweet, lack any complexity or true body.. and cost a premium vs better whiskies.. just very boring overall.. they mix with coke easily for pounding but that's my biggest compliment

Yeah I don't do it much anymore, I was really just goofin because I was going along with the "manly" theme in this thread.

I was a frat boy though and did quite a bit of damage. Only member of my fraternity still standing after 3 grape MD 20/20s in one night. But those days are long gone, I'm 30, I can't do that anymore.

I can get a lot down and keep it down, it's the 3-day hangovers that follow which scare me off. Why is it that hangovers don't even exist when you're 21, but you hit your late 20s and 30s and like three drinks gives you a headache??

Re: The 10 Commandments For Drinking Like A Man
 

3 bottles of MD would kill my stomach before anything else.

That's about what.. a bit over a liter equivalent of liquor, yeah def been there plenty of times

fortified wine is definitely manly! I bought it for this girl who had a lil hair over her lip once

3 drinks doesn't give me a headache, but there's no question that hangovers get worse as you get older. I'm 31, and if I get good and drunk, the whole next day until about 4pm is pretty much shot. When I was 21 I could get hammered and be at the gym at noon the next day throwing around weights like nothing happened. God damned father time. Eff him.

If you're gonna drink fortified wine, MD is not the way to go. A good port is much better. Man, I used to drink Strawberry Rose Mad Dog (I think that's what it was called) my senior year of high school. One of those bottles and I was so buzzed!! Those were the days. All of us guys who played football would drink a bottle each in the parking lot before the basketball games and then go cheer on our buddies. Good times.

Re: The 10 Commandments For Drinking Like A Man
 

Seriously, I'm 26 and man some nights I can only have a few and wake up shitty, but recover quickly. Seems it depends if I get the bad ones or not. Recently I have a lot but last weekend I felt fine as soon as I got up.

definitely did it before games.. boys basketball and girl's volleyball, though I didn't do it a lot having to make weight for wrestling, but the bonfire parties by the river were def full of md and cheap domestic beer and bottom shelf vodka

I remember one friend and I would always recommend md for people and they'd have a sip or two and not be able to stand it.. so we always got the free bottles and they stayed sober.. like a buy 1 get 1 free deal

love port.. there's this one made in VA.. Horton Vineyards.. I love that stuff, haven't had a lot of ports though.. if you see it let me know what you think

I always got it at the VA ABC stores, not really sure how widely it's distributed

See, for me that's purely opinion. JD is better than many of the whiskies I've had in my lifetime.

Horton makes a nice Viognier. They were actually mentioned the Washington Post food section yesterday (a must read for me every Wednesday). Sandeman's, Hardy's, and Graham's are all nice ports. I don't drink much port, but I know a little about them.

I don't really drink much bourbon/whiskey, but if I do I go for something like Baker's, Booker's, or Woodfield Reserve. I do not care for Jack Daniels, or even Gentleman Jack.

Honestly, Jameson is pretty darn smooth as well.

all that I ever saw from them is the port so I'll keep an eye out

I've actually never had a Viognier as I don't really do a lot of white wine, but I've heard some good stuff

I'll check out those ports when I'm in the mood for one

for some reason I get hangover really easily on jameson, I do like it though

nice bourbon choices though.. the thing that I love about bourbon is that there are a lot of ones in the 20-25 dollar range that stack up well against some more expensive ones

But see, serious in what sense? I've had them all... from what is considered "high class" to Beam. Overall, I just appreciate JD more than any of them. Maybe I'm just an unsophisticated redneck, but that's kind of how I feel about wine as well. There's only a few I really like....
