easier to drink sure.. better? I guess it depends how serious you are about your whisky

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

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.

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

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.

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

all kidding aside, i'm 36 and have not vomited since i was 18. that last time i threw up was from drinking two bottles of md 20/20, it was either grape or orange(can't remember). that was one of the worst nights of my life, the entire room started spinning and nothing would stop it, then.....:vomit:. i didn't start to feel better until late the next evening.

Screw all that. The best thing you can drink in my opinion, is shine with apple juice and a cinnamon stick. Let it sit for a few years and pow, it will knock you on your ass. You wouldn't even taste the alcohol and the apple juice takes away the burning. 25$ a big mason jar all day long.

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.

drank shine in HS quite a bit

my dealer's dealer was an English teacher that shared a mutual dislike for each other with me's husband.. so I managed to hold it over her head and pretty much stayed out of trouble

Damn! The teacher was hustling shine? The teachers these days are screwing the students too! What effing high schools did y'all go to? It must be great being a kid these days. Someone needs to smack those EMO kids.

Bumping an old thread, but I'm trying to improve my scotch/whiskey/bourbon (primarily scotch) stock.

So...what should I always have stocked in my bar...and how should I drink it?
