MasterDex Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 (edited) In Ireland, that's considered a woman's drink. I've never, ever seen a man order it. What a progressive country. It sure is! Edited August 16, 2012 by MasterDex 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thursday Next Posted August 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 I was in a bar the other night. Ordered a Raspberry and Lychee Martini. Now that is a man's drink! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 Girly drinks are awesome. Given the choice though I'll go with a margarita because at least here that's considered acceptable for either gender. Also it's fucking delicious.

Faiblesse Des Sens Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 Is a girly drink any sugary drink? Nothing else will fuck you up faster than a Long Island and similar drinks. Something like a fuzzy navel I can see being a "girly" drink but a gin and tonic? That's pretty basic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterDex Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 That's Ireland for ya. Hell, even I'm looked down upon for drinking Budweiser here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 Yeah, I think anything sugary and/or colorful is "girly". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strangelove Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 I think it's the color thing. Anything not a shade of yellow, brown, or clear is automatically girly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deanb Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 That's Ireland for ya. Hell, even I'm looked down upon for drinking Budweiser here. Well that's an American drink. American "beer". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Pirate Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 I had a friend visit Dublin and they had asked for a beer--and apparently didn't realize that they don't chill their beers. When he told me about it I explained it's because American beer sucks so they have to chill it to suck less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 That doesn't explain why they don't chill any of their other drinks either though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterDex Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 That doesn't explain why they don't chill any of their other drinks either though. That's changing now. If I remember correctly, Budweiser and Coors started with the chilled taps a couple of years back and now a few more have jumped on the bandwagon. That being said, quite a few pubs have chilled their kegs for some time now. It all depends on the pub. Being Ireland, there's rarely a shortage of customers, chilled beer or not.

Sorry, but this is the country of the microbrew, and it shall not be stereotyped based on our shitty macro-brews. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faiblesse Des Sens Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 (edited) Is there a difference? Well I guess one I could think of is micro-brew= at home, whereas craft brewery= actually having a building and selling it. Though I'm not sure many would make such a distinction. Check out the Wikipedia page on that, actually. It's got some cool facts. America really does have a ton of breweries. Though I would bet that Germany has more per capita.

Waldorf and Statler Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 Yeah you can't insult America. Sam Adams is awesome. Plus are you telling me that other countries drink their beers hot? Or do you mean not at freezing temperature? Because if it's the former, I don't care what country you're from, hot beer tastes like piss. South American countries have some great beers. The thing I'll miss the most from my country when I leave is the Club Colombia Roja. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Heat Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 So my coworkers took me out to the bar last night after work because I guess they really wanted to see if I become a completely different beast when trashed. Hey, don't give me that look! It was free alcohol. I LOVE free things. They're the best! The list of things I was given: Two shots of Four Horsemen, one Four Horsemen Go to Hell, two Kamikazes, three bottles of Smirnoff Ice, one glass of Bomb Pop (UV Blue and Lemonade just in case one is unaware) and three glasses of Creme de Cacao and milk. And a shitload of water. Passed all my Fortitude saves during the night. Hurray for being a fat guy! Totally failed the one I rolled this morning when I woke up.

Faiblesse Des Sens Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 Holy shit, you and your friends have the worst taste in alcohol. Honestly, who the fuck goes to the bar an orders Smirnoff Ice on top of a bunch of gimmicky shots? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRevanchist Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 Damn, Alex, that's some mean mixing of booze. At least you got in that water to stay hydrated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, who the fuck goes to the bar an orders Smirnoff Ice on top of a bunch of gimmicky shots? People who want to see me hammered, also people who totally don't have to pay for it. I ordered the Smirnoff Ices though because they're one of the few things I don't mind drinking as in the case of most alcoholic beverages, the taste of alcohol (which is horrible) overpowers everything else. Ultimately, taste is always going to be subjective, isn't it? No sense in being some kind of booze elitist, right?

Faiblesse Des Sens Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 As long as the ultimate goal of getting hammered is accomplished I won't be too upset. Though I do worry about people who drink things like Smirnoof due to the high sugar content and how easily they dehydrate you and give you a terrible hangover.

Waldorf and Statler Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 I went to Buffalo Wild Wings last weekend. I ordered Sam Adams Octoberfest draft. I shit you not, I had an orgasm in my mouth. My friends were judging me and then I let them take a sip. They had no plans to drink, but promptly did so as well. I still have sexual dreams about that beer. Last time I got like this was with their draft Winter lager Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 You can't go wrong with that one. I just wish they could just package that one like they do for the Boston Lager but no... most places you have to get that in the Winter pack which has some stuff that I do not want.
