To all you young folks who have yet to find your favorite kind of hard alcohol: go with tequila. Rum tastes like shit, Vodka tastes like worse shit, Whisky tastes like refined shit, and Scotch tastes like blended refined shit. Some Tequila actually tastes good, and others don't taste bad... and it doesn't taste like shit. And it mixes the best out of any of em.

The only alcohol I've had are a Mojito and some Moscow Mules. I'll probably experience a bit more than those two in college.

I don't like alcohol, and I've tried a few different ones to know it, and terrible experiences. XD
I know it is non-alcoholic, but I like margaritas :P

In my opinion, scotch is the only thing the Scots did right. I take no issue with any one kind of alcohol. Except American blonde and light beers, aka piss water.

I have some recipes if anyone is interested BTW.
(not just for margaritas XP none of them are margaritas)

Tequila is bad. Scotch and whiskey are cool, but they're not really stuff you should be drinking at parties. Brandy and cognac (depending on where you want it from) are good too, but generally kind of expensive. You can find anything cheap, but usually if it's hard liquor (not including vodka) you'll be able to tell the difference between shit and not shit. My parents own a liquor store so I've been tasting stuff since around middle school. Nobody likes dry red wine when they first taste it, and I'm still waiting until I start enjoying it. It must feel good to be old and tolerate that shit.

Also, my sister once thought my biological father's glass of beer was cola, so she drank the rest of the cup, about half full. She was like, 7 or 8 at the time. That want fun for her I bet, or maybe it was XD

ThisIsBullshit I was talking about hard alcohol. As far as cocktails go, whatever floats your boat. And yea, I know it's made with whiskey. Blah. I personally like simple stuff, such as tequila and orange juice, or lime and soda.
bigguy99 I disagree. I've got a bottle of Glenlivit 18 in my basement, and I think it tastes pretty damn bad. Sip it, with or without ice, hell, mixed. Just bad. And cognac? Man, if you can stomach the stuff, more power to you. Way too sweet for me and it gives you the worst hangovers.
As far as red wine goes, most red wine is dry. You just can't, like, buy an eight-ten dollar bottle of wine and expect it to be good. Red wine, from Pinot Noir to Sirah, starts actually tasting good around $18, and unless you're a wine enthusiast, you won't notice the difference after around $40 (for example, a sixty dollar bottle might taste the same as something that's much more expensive).
However, wine is odd. Some bottles you'll buy for $18-25 will be much, much better than some bottles you can buy for $30-50. A LOT of different wineries ask a LOT for their wine, and it isn't very good. And since they are asking a lot, the places that sell em have to ask for more.
Since wine varies so much on the location and the specific year's weather patterns, the best way to buy is to find a wine boutique, and ask the owner for suggestions. Unlike a liquor store, wine boutique's will stock wine that the owner specifically thinks is the best for that price range, instead of wines with good reviews from people who don't know what they are talking about.

DEEEEEZ NUUUUUUTTTTSSSSS
that was way more fun to type than I expected
Kyuuri sounds like you have poor taste lol just kidding to each their own

Well my dad has owned the place for longer than I've been alive (close to 30 years now) and he knows basically everything he has inside out. There's actually a 23 year old bottle of Van Winkle (among other very expensive drinks) sitting in the shelf along with a 20 and a 15 year old as well (I might be getting the ages mixed up). The 23yo bottle you'll basically never find unless you get lucky but the other two are a bit easier to get. There's also a drink held in a large gold clock that doesn't even have a price tag on it but I can't for the life of me remember what it's called.

@DERPLINGSUPREMEm you've yet to see me in public when I walk through long parking lots or leave a really quiet place like the movies or a fancy restaurant. Or if I was sitting down for a long time. I prolly do it more than any person should too XD

Wait. Margaritas are non-alcoholic? When did this happen? And Derp, don't dissuade your fancy ness on drinkin when your 14. It just ruins your class.

Hey, class is class, even if it's class in a dungeon if a prison and your getting pummeled by the security guards for bad behavior and hit in for drugs. So, different question. Why do people drink/do drugs?
August 13, 2015 12:56 a.m.
NoviceMagician says... #42
On the topics of drugs, why hasn't marijuana been legalized yet? It seems like they keep coming up with new reasons as to why not. ~doesnt care if they are legalized or not, just came to mind~

DERPLINGSUPREME says... #43
uuuuuuuuhhhh......
bigguy99 I'm normally all for illegal matters if it brings me money or doesnt really matter, but shrooms? really?

NoviceMagician says... #44
@trollslayer, because it is a source of feeling pleasant and makes me happy, why do you play magic? Because they like it, so what :P

The eighth was 40. More expensive than acid but just as fun. Went to a friend's place, watched a few movies, and went to bed.

@trollslayer, exactly, you play it because you like it and have fun, don't beat around the bush to try and give an "advanced" answer. It is fun to play. Some people think drugs are fun to do.
