    Question Which spirited drink brings you to your knees?

    Which spirited drink brings you to your knees?

    For me it is spice rum. For some reason it affects me like no other.

    I have yet to survive a night where I ran into, or to the bottom of, a bottle of tequila. The problem is the only time I even consider tequila is when I have had a fair bit already.

    Do you mean brought to your knees by bliss?

    Or is it on one's knees before the porcelain idol, calling for"Raaaalph" and "Eaaaarl?"

    I like some wines, some beers,quality tequilas and rum-though not spiced;that's just nasty.

    I like quality vodka.
    (Absolut-do my own fruit infusions....ahh, summer!)

    I don't like gin or scotch.

    I haven't gotten sick from drinking-except for once from a glass of high sulfate wine-since I was 16 or so. Once was enough.......

    No I mean the why can’t I walk kind. For me it is not a matter of quantity but type of drink that leads to nothing but shikko.

    For me spice rum is like kryptonite. Vodka and tequila I could drink like water with little ill effect.

    Seriously Aaron, no one drink affects you like none of the others?

    No, but then I rarely have more than four, and then only at home.....
    ...I call number three "the stupid drink," and all else beyond it is, well, "beyond the stupid drink!"

    I've enjoyed mixed drinks with gin, but think it is fairly vile straight, ditto for scotch.....there is nothing alchoholic I avoid because it overcomes me faster or harder than others....

    "Spiced Rum," as in that commercially produced stuff ala "Captain Morgan's" is just wrong. Ditto "Southern Comfort."

    A you hit the nail right on the head, I think that they Captain is out to get me... That is why I generally keep my distance.

    As for overall beverage consumption 2 mixed drinks is generally all I take... But that is a topic for another day.

    I had a friend that used to say, “After 3 shots I think I'm a genius...... After 9 I have proven I'm not.“ Somewhat analogous to your stupid drink...

    The smell of southern Comfort will cause me to vomit
    Vodka makes me ask girls to...strange?

    my two favorite mixed drinks are "Rob Roy" and "Rusty Nail"
    and I am particular to Mc Callen 18 yr. old scotch
    and close second is a Glenn Levitt at least a 12yr.old...

    but for mixing scotch drinks use a dimple pinch blend it's
    not nearly as dry as a single malt and you can be sure to get
    in the two drinks before you have to hit the redbull and
    schmirnoff...(for dancing purposes honestly)...

    Scotch lets you get the groove on Vodka lets you slide...

    Scotch I can drink like water and usually what I stick to when I'm in for a long night of hard drinking. Usually if I eat properly before drinking ang lots of water before I go to sleep I can manage to avoid a horrendous hangover.

    A few days ago I heard someone mention "scotch, Guiness Beer and Berserkers" in the same sentence. Scotch will send me over the top. I make a fine Apple hard cider that seems to sneak up on you after the first bottle, which is a shame since I make gallons of the stuff at a time and my apple trees are heavy with apples again. Maybe I should sponsor a cider/roppokai seminar. Youll all have to sign wavors about execessive alcohol and its results though.
