Anyone else drinking? I am new to the whole drinking at home thing so any recommendations? Have the house to myself for 1 week for the first time and want to try different stuff. And general conversation thread because I'm bored.

>Tesco finest
>any recommendations

not that

>50 euro
I'm poor but will keep it in mind, never even heard of cognac before.

Pretty much a 100x better version of what your drinking

Drinking some beer, smoked all my weed unfortunately. I might have 3-4 beers before bed

eh, lesson 1: you don't fill up the glass.
well, eventually, you will have drank more than 1 glass full, but... no.
and i don't really think the doritos will taste good with that, but okay.

Really? This does taste nasty but hey gets you drunk.

try strong ciders i drink weak cos im a puss and like old mout cider but it depends on how much alcohol you want

Oh it's mixed with soda, I only put in like maybe a shot and a half. The Doritos are to mask the after taste and it works pretty well.

Try this, straight or with bitter lemon

This
OP, do you have friends? Why dont yiu invite a buddy over and get drunk together?

Nice I thought about buying some beer but I usually drink break at pubs and stuff so I decided to go the other route.

I really like ciders but this

Try fernet branca with coke and ice, first the ice, then 30% fernet an 70% coke

I mean I do have friends (not a lot) but the close one that would come over if I called all live far away, I don't actually have any decent friends near my vicinity. So just me.

I am currently in Marokko, here you can only buy alcohol free beer, except in some special shops for ridiculious prices, so i'd love to have that bottle here Still i would never drink hard spirits alone at home, thats what some fucked alcoholics do

Cognac is something you drink after a really long, really extravagant dinner. You'll encounter cognac at "black tie" events. Anyone who drinks cognac regularly just for fun, goes out to a bar and orders a cognac... they're fucking ridiculous people, and they should feel ridiculous.

Cool, I'll see if I can get that stuff in Tesco, I am actually writing all this down by the way so I won't forget when I wake up.

That sucks my friend.
Why are you alone for a week?

Oh that does sound like shit. And no I am not an alcoholic this is my first time drinking alone and I just want to experiment.

Cheap shit, mmm...

You stole that glass from the pub didnt you?

Cool, how does that taste? really sweet? I hate sweet alcohol, I feel sick after.

I hate black tie events... I feel so out of place and uncomfortable... I am a man of tracksuits.

Oh that is a long long, uncomfortable story. So lets just say my mum is gone for family reasons.

...

My dinner

haa not really, more like this

>random pic

well it does depend on what tickles your taste buds. if your going to drink brady - tescos finest isn't actually as terrible as the pretentious cunts will tell you it is - yes remy martin is better - but to a newbies like you - i highly doubt your virgin taste buds would justify the extras $$

if you have a week my recommendation would be to buy a few different types of drinks.

try a nice whisky on the rocks, try without the rocks,
buy a vodka - try with coke, tonic, lemonade see what you like.
try some gin with tonic and lemon
try some rum and coke
etc try some different variations and find 'your' drinks at this stage (bearing in my that the more you drink you will begin to appreciate different things)

start of with a few ice cold beers however. these get you in the 'zone' move on to the hard stuff late.

start smoking also. makes the expereicen much more enjoyable. if you worry about cancer, don't - its a byproduct of natural ageing anyway. your only prolonging your pointless twilight years by forgoing casual smoking.

find a nice activity to do while you drink. some like music. some like postin shit on/b/ - some like doing work, some like sitting and thinking. find out what you enjoy. maybe a pc game even. my personal thinking is that most things are better with a drinks.

beware - the more you drink the more you will want to go out and go crazy. if you are a friendless loner you may start to get techy once you reach that energetic stage. to beat this take a few shots of x drink to reach the drowsy stage. music is good here.

just drink a lot and expereiment.

hows that brandy? been jonsing to get into different liqours

im the pretentious cunt hes refering to, but rest I agree with lol

Nah man, you'll have to greentext that shit now

I find I don't care much for drinking alone ... I did it last night and I watched the new mst3k and the last transformers because I wanted to watch something stupid

>>>
got no friends

Explore red wines. Do some research. Liquor is great but it can lead down a path most are not prepared to go. Wine is interesting because you find things you like without breaking the bank. That's my two cents.

Most 'good' wines cost more than liquour

I'm on oxy, so I haven't had a drop since Christmas eve.

Wow thanks for the effort you put in, appreciate it mate.

Ya I really want to get to a stage where I know what certain drink tastes like if someone talks about it. I have had all of this at pubs and stuff but never enough that I "know" what it would taste like if I thought about it after, if you get what I mean.

When you say have some beers, do you mean in general or like right before the spirits?

I tried smoking, genuinely hate it, more of a weed guy and rarely at that (mainly due to being poor).

Music is really nice, I like it.

I definitely never get crazy when I get drunk, I am the type to just fall asleep really quickly.

I will drink alot and experiment!

Faggot (OP): Guy seems sortof reliable.
>be me, 30 years plus experience in substance 'abuse'.
As to alcohol I've tried just about everything from getting drunk on 1000dollar bottleS of wine, champagne, port, cognacs, wiskeys, armangnacs, and what the fuck have you, to the filthies fucking jailhouse hooch.

As a hardened alcoholic I actually prefer medical grade ethanol for my daily needs. While I'm not gonna brag, I can't drink choise shit every day, I do have more than enough so I can fullfill my quota of a bottle a day on your average store shot. (Two bottles on a bad day, half a bottle on an exeptional day.) I prefer the pure shit not only because of price and taste but because of the way it leaves me the next day.

Any hardcore alcoholic will tell you that it's hard to eat, but while your muscles are atrophying your belly is growing. Another reason to go for the medical grade moonshine; drink your stuff with juices and smoothies and you can keep your regimen and keep surprisingly healthy both physically and economically through years of hard alcholabuse.

>enjoy

Initially it tastes like shit but honestly, you quickly get used to it, I mean I have.

>ok

Checked and I have no other choice. I saw the last transformers like 3 days ago, I mean it's not great but I like giant robots and explosions, I'm really classy.

I only tied a few wines but I really hate them, I feel like they taste worse than sprites. Maybe because they were probably cheap one...

>medical grade ethanol
Damn son, next level. I have thought about giving it a taste in chem labs and stuff but was afraid that shit would kill me or something due to my inexperience.

It's really not green text worthy, my dad passed away somewhere else, went to the funeral together but had to come back early because have exams in May and pretty stressed out from 10 times more responsibility (and exams) and so thought getting drunk would help sleep at night...

Moonshine can be dangerous (metanol instead of etanol y yayaya), with medical grade the danger is overmixing, but if you remember your basic maths you'll also know how to adjust for the difference between 96% and 40% and honest to god - because of the purity it leaves you with a significantly lower hangover, and the worst stuff you drink is the really expencive wiskeys and cognacs and shit (but my oh my are they fun to drink)

Protip: my funniest drunks are on port wine. Just do it. 1-2 liters should do it for most newfags..

sobered up from opiates and other drugs 3 months ago. just started drinking again recently.

feels bad inside but it's so comforting.

Actually not true. The price of vine does depend on branding, but many good vines are not very expensive.
Also "good" or bad vine is often really just personal oppinion based on taste.
Usually, the price is based on the quality of grapes used: higher quality and only one kind is expensive. Mix of different sorts is usually cheaper, except they are not harvested at the same time. It means you harvest some now, and some later(which means you have to store the first one for a while, and it costs money). and then there are some other factors. South african vine will be more expensive in Italy, where they have shitloads of local vine in every price category for obvious reasons.

Interesting, I might try some wines. Any brands (not too expensive) that generally seem to be liked?

Sorry to hear user
In that case i assume getting used to drink alone might not be the best solution.
Me personally, i hate it to ne drunk alone, thats why i cant drink more than one beer by myself. As soon as it starts to "hit me", i need some social interaction (which is different when i'm high). That is the reason i could never drink hard spirits by myself.

Where are you?

Ireland

I'm pretty sure the stuff in chem labs is different. I think it's called denatured ethanol. Some bio majored friend once explained why you couldn't drink it. I forget the specifics

Alcohol worsens sleep quality. It might make you drowsy but it won't make you sleep well.

My dad was an alcoholic and a bad one at that so one think I know for sure is that I will never become like him. I hoped that he would die many times but when it did happen, it hit me harder than I thought. I mean he was a decent human being and a decent dad but he had his serious faults. And the worse stuff it all the responsibilities that come after... you never really see that stuff in the movies...

Oh...well it's too late now, I drank like a quarter of it already...

Dont go for the brand.
I'd rather try to understand what i like more red or white, and then try different sorts.
i dont know where you are from, but i am sure the brands will be different there than lets say in Italy.
On the other hand Cabernet Sauvignon always stands for kind of the same taste, doesnt matter which vinery produces it.
Personally i like dry/frutty red vines, thats why i drink Primitivo or Chianty. My favourite vine is "Mabis Mavum Corvina Veronese / Cabernet Sauvignon", which is a mix of Corvina and Cabernet Sauvignon. But its a vinery in Italy, so i am nit sure if you can get it overseas

fuck you.
Gin goes with soda or preferably tonic water with ice and a slice of lime or lemon your preference. you dont fucking drink the stuff neat.

It's really a matter of taste then, the world being open to you. Try the different box wines, not only taste, but how it leaves you - as I said, it is really a personal thing, but I prefer dry wines, esp. from Bordeaux and Italy. To know wines keep an eye out for what kind of grapes they've used because it really makes a difference.

do you like sweet drinks or dry drinks or dont give a fuck as long as they make everything warm and fuzzzy?

Straight??

Tonic ice and lemon for day time. A touch of vermouth and 3rd green olives in a martini glass at night.

>I'll never be like him

That's how it starts, user.

This
Straight is like drinking benzin

Kek, thought the same when i read that

...

I like ciders but sweet tasting spirits make me vomit and wines just tasted bad to me but I never really tried any decent wines.

I don't mind beers but when I drink I drink to get drunk and I need to have alot of beers for that and usually I get sick, so I prefer sprites, less volume but more effect.

But box vines are fucking trash and will leave him with terrible headache. When i was a student, some people drank box vine, so once i (beiing a nerd) read the ingredience. It is basically not even a vine, but a mix of i gredience which combined taste like vine.
Like mcdonalds is not real 100% beef, but combined it tastes like beef.

Lel, I understand where you guys are coming from but thankfully my wider family is really good and caring and they have experienced his "issues" and the thought that I could cause the same is enough to control me.

You type like a frenchman

You're a frenchman aren't you?

Check'd

at the beginning you start by trying different things, but after that you drink whatever gets you fuckd up alcoholism HOY

>beer
pfff get on my level user, beer is for socialising shit, spirits are for lonely fucks! I', getting pretty drunk *x and d face*

Johnny Walker Blue, 24 year scotch wiskey blend. Do home projects when you're drunk
If your broke, go for a ten year special blend

I thought the same thing. Same situation with the pops and everything. I said the same thing and it didn't go like I had planned. Been sober 3 and a half years now tho but not until I crashed a car while drunk and easily could've died. Luckily I dipped from the scene and avoided the DUI and any other legal troubles. However it was enough to wake me up. But everyone's different and I don't know anything about you, but just watch out man. That booze can grab ya. And it just happens. With no warning. Anyway cheers or whatever and take a shot for me :^]

well I guess I am still at the beginning stage, so I got time!

well cheers to that brother

>in before poo in loo

Im learning ok

now I heard from some friends that you should never drink sprites and beer together. If you do you will get sick guaranteed. Is this true?

So what if? Box vine is shit no matter what

>That skin tone
You are not irish native arent you? Mr Poo in Loo

kek you are french them

Bells two hearted ale, drink a six pack. So dank.

hell no, 12 years, im 20. I am always confused when people ask me what am I... am I indian or am I irish? you tell me...

Drinking this tonight. Estrella beer from Spain

you drinking to get drunk or just cause?

I'd buy Pilsner Urquell for getting drunk. Wife stupidly got me this by mistake.

Hello frenchie wenchie

Rather tell me if you ever shitted in the street back home?
But on the real Indians are ok, have indian neighbors, they totally ok.

how many does it take you to get drunk? 6 does it for me

Wish I had this instead.

My cock is indian

Can't really taste the difference between a 10$ and a 50$ wine. How about you guys ?

About 9 sadly. Years of drinking British piss beer. Always drink European lager now.

I never shat in the streets before but I shat myself in class before, if that counts... I mean my parents had dto be called and sent home bad.

ya so is mine but since i am brown no one really have any high expectations for me. i feel for you if you are white or black...

Fuck off faggots, what are you yourself?

OP as mentioned above i am in Marokko now, gonna try this marokkan vine. People said its good

I never really had much wine to give advice but gona try some more now to get the experience.

You have decent box wines (I'm the guy drinking medical grade ethanol by the way) just like you have decent cheep liquers - and the man being irish he probably is in the kind of territory where you can get a decent wine in a box for an affordable price.

This is why we hate the french. It's like serving a perfect spagetti bolognese to an italian and the hearing her complain like a bitch for two hours because you used canned tomatoes instead of peeling them like her grandma and how you used minced meat instead of whatever piece of loin and used liquefied carrot for sweetener instead of the essence of pussysweat of Venus with tears of Diana that her grandma always used.

I fucking love france, but you are all fucking traps. (That might be the medical grade ethanol speaking but fuck you.)

nice man enjoy, and I this is me, op , i kid i don't care that you are french but it was funny how you got real defensive over box wine and normal wine, I don't know the difference but I will try to learn monsieur!

>pic related
Well I can't even drink it straight , after one glass I was sick of it ended up mixing it with cola
White wine's ok though

Lol you just need to go look deeper. There is a lot of free alcohol shops in Morocco especially in the big cities
