And my favorite..

So what are your favorite drinks guys?
Mine is rhum or rum as it known now.
I'm partial to Caribbean rum particularly since it's such a large part of my regional heritage. Some of my favorites are Appleton Jamaica's stuff alongst with La Havana club, which is Cuban and absolutely breathtaking. I hear that Haitian rum is good, but it's next to impossible to find, along with Guyanese rum.
P.S. Bacardi rum and Captain's Morgan rum is swill that should be thrown into the sea!!

Beer: Miller Genuine Draft, Shiner Bock or free beer and free beer is always better!

My Dad was stationed in the Phillipines in 1966 and come home raving about San Miguel beer, although he says the stuff they sell here in the States now doesn't taste the same?

The top 5 (in no particular order)

Rum (yum)
Guinness
Most Scottish Malt whiskeys (blends are generally evil...)
Absinthe
Vodka.

All in the same glass....well maybe not!

But if I'm in a pub that's what I go for...depeding on my mood.

Absinthe? Absinthe?? Do people actually still drink that?
After seeing a program about it on the History Channel and hearing about it's side effects I was somewhat incredulous that people still consumed it.

Side effects from consumption of wormwood include renal failure, convulsions, involuntary evacuations, abnormal respiration, and foaming at the mouth. Patients hospitalized in Paris for absinthe intoxication were noted to suffer from seizures, chest effusion, reddish urine, and kidney congestion.
Some people say that it's what contributed to Van Gogh going mad (Big Van gogh fan here)


Anyway you're a brave girl and having said all that....
erm what does it taste like?

Absinthe? Absinthe?? Do people actually still drink that?

Umm....yup!

I love it and have been drinking it for years.

It tastes very aniseedy. But it's lovely and packs a kick.

The traditional way to drink it is:

Traditionally, absinthe is prepared by slowly pouring iced water over a cube of sugar resting on a slotted spoon. The cold water dissolves the sugar and this solution trickles into the glass diluting the green absinthe.
