Rum.

[Steophan]

I have 3 bottles of rum, theoretically to last me 4 weeks till next payday. Wonder how that will work out...

[Dragonlady]

Depends on the SIZE of the bottles.

[Glazer]

Three bottles would last me a year or more.

[Steophan]

Standard 70cl bottles. The Havana Club Anejo 7 Anos will be drunk neat, and slowly. This is real Havana Club, not the rip off the Yanks get, though, as we don't have a pathological hatred of all Cuban products over here! The others will be mixed with Coke and consumed much faster...

[Yorikke]

Good luck with all that.

Joe

[Jeff]

Oh wow, you have rum that is good enough to be mixed with Coke. That is a rare find. It must have cost a pretty penny, no wonder you'll have to nurse them till payday.

[Steophan]

Damn right, it's real Coke, not the cheap supermarket imitation either! I don't work all that overtime for nothing.

[u wan buy dvd?]

oh my god, I'm about to vomit up a metric ton of rum right now. What a coincidence.

Mixed with diet Coke, because I'm health conscious.

Rum is my favorite inebriating thingy

[Steophan]

It didn't last, so I bought two more bottles. Well, the Havana Club is still there, but I intend to drink that sparingly to savour. The Captain Morgan and Mount Gay I bought tonight are for more functional, though still enjoyable, drinking.

Which I shall do whilst listening to June Tabor.

[boomerwang]

I was on the rum last night too (Bundaberg rum), and may be again today/tonight. Last night, I also tried beer with lemon in it. Maybe lemon is OK with corona, but not Aussie beer :vomit: I plan to visit the Drunk Tank later today/tonight. If others are here, that would be cool. If not, I'll just mutter random drunken diatribes at no one. :)

[Steophan]

Beer and lemon seems an odd combination. A Desperado (tequila-enhanced lager) with lime is bearable, but I can't think of one that works with lemon. I know people drink Weissbier with it sometimes, but that has enough hint of citrus on it's own, and a slice of orange would bring it out better if you insist on fruit added to it.

Or just drink Belgian cherry or raspberry beers.

Or Scottish rum cask beer, which if I haven't mentioned here before, I shall do now.

[boomerwang]

Also, I'm on a ukulele kick now, so if anyone wants a songs ukulelised with a drunken touch, I'll give it a go, and upload a .mp3.

Yes, yes, I would like that very much; I am Austrian and we have little access to such music; also, the Russian artillery makes it hard to hear anything.

No worries. I'll play you some Soviet classics, then some African rhythms. And top it off with some lively Jewish numbers :)

[Hitler]

I SHALL ASSIMILATE YOU ALL.

I nivented this ---> :driveby:; but my way was waaaay cooler, except that you died if you hit anything larger than a squirrel. Still, the Panzers worked, right; RIIIGHT?!?!

[Solfy]

Whiskey. To see if it washes the bitch out.
It's nasty, but it's faster than beer.

[Salambo]

Rum, here, too. Because I'm having one of those fucking days.

[AHunter3]

Real rum is old enough to vote. http://www.klwines.com/images/skus/1013444x.jpg

[Salambo]

Hoo. I already hit my limit. No more. It's hubs night to wake up with the baby if she needs it, but I still don't want to get too hammmered.

I feel better now.

[boomerwang]

No rum so far, but I've had several (many) "Cherry Bombs". Vodka, lemonade, grenadine. Feelin' pretty good, and going back soon to have some more. :science:

[Steophan]

I dread to think how much that would cost!

[boomerwang]

I'm back from my boozing, but it seems no one's here. And no one left any uke requests. Ah well.

[Wolf Larsen]

Drinking blue curacao straight is not actually a good idea.

[boomerwang]

Blue curacao is nice, but I can imagine that drinking lots of it quickly would lead to problems...

I had more of those vodka things today, plus some beer. Ate a pizza to myself. Feelin' pretty good! =)

[boomerwang]

Also, back to the thread title, this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qayDROc-dkE) is relevant (from 00:54).

[boomerwang]

I drank rum for 6 hours last night, then had a few beers. Felt pretty good last night, but decidedly less so today...

ETA: This is what I was drinking

They'd last me a week. I'm serious unfortunately .

They didn't last long enough...

I have a small amount left, but am hopefully paid tomorrow and not Monday, in which case I shall buy more. It's odd how I have some high quality rum - Appleton Estate and Havana Club 7 - and I still crave Captain Morgan's! Tomorrow, it shall be mine.

I also want to try the new Bacardi Oakheart spiced rum, I've heard good things about it.

Ever do Dark & Stormys?

[boomerwang]

Haven't tried a Dark & Stormy, but I will tomorrow :)

[Wolf Larsen]

An Aussie cow-orker turned me on to Dark & Stormys. The problem is that they taste so good that you're snockered before you know it.

[boomerwang]

Yes, you're right. They're delicious and stealthy. And they're my new regular drink! :science:

[Wolf Larsen]

They go down really easy and then you're wondering why standing up got difficult.

[boomerwang]

I's got me a bottle of Kentucky Gold bourbon whiskey. I's gonna drink it now. Pilgrims.

[Scuba Ben]

In my opinion, rum > whiskey. I find whiskey hits me harder and faster than the same amount of rum.

Oddly last night I dreamt about tequila. Or maybe that was at Saturday's party. I'm not sure.

[Doyle]

Agreed

[Steophan]

Hmm, not sure which hits me harder. What I find is that rum is better value for money, as I will like a rum at a certain price about as much as a whiskey twice the price. If I'm feeling wealthy and in the mood, I'll sometimes drink whiskey though.

Got two bottles of Captain Morgan's for £11 each today. Not the best in the world, but pretty tasty. It's nice enough to drink straight, if I take a hip flask somewhere, and delicious with coke.

[Steophan]

Some of my rum is currently in a cup of coffee, in the hope that I can wake up for lon enough to get drunk tonight.

[TatSavitr]

You've inspired me, Steophan. Unfortunately I had no more rum, so I have cognac in my coffee instead. Hope that doesn't exclude me from the thread.

Rum related: I completely agree that rum gives much more value for your money than whiskey, and as such I prefer it. Nothing wrong with a nice islay once in a while, though.

[boomerwang]

Went kinda overboard with the Dark & Stormys last night. Might just drink beer tonight.

[Wolf Larsen]

I told you they sneak up on you.

I'm drinking Myer's rum with coke.

[Hunter Hawk]

Real rum is old enough to vote. http://www.klwines.com/images/skus/1013444x.jpg

I dread to think how much that would cost!

It's actually not all that expensive--it's probably somewhere in the range of $40-$50/bottle. It's not an every-day drink, but it's definitely not an "if you have to ask..." item either. Interestingly, consensus is that it's actually better than the super-expensive Zacapa bottling.

Another very good rum is Zaya 12-year.

[boomerwang]

Switched back to rum & coke last night. Might just stick to water today.

[KidVermicious]

Rum makes an excellent muscle relaxer. My legs are almost on speaking terms with me again.

[Kismet68]

Had my first dark and stormy on T-giving. Yum! But it was mixed by a 14yo and very strong, so I added more ginger beer. Speaking of beer, that's what I'm currently having.

[boomerwang]

Although the beer and tequila were fun tonight, I'm still lusting after a rum *sigh*

No, it's still yesterday.

[boomerwang]

*Chucky's brain explodes*

[Solfy]

I hope you're planning on wiping that up. Grey matter is a slipping hazard.

[boomerwang]

I would, but I no longer have a functioning brain to direct me in such a task.

BTW, I drank shitloads of rum tonight!

[Scuba Ben]

I don't get the BTW in that. Drinking shitloads of rum normally blocks higher brain functions. Including the part that cares how totally wasted you are.

Kinda hard to block brain function when one's brain is splattered on the ground...

[u wan buy dvd?]

oh my god, I'm about to vomit up a metric ton of rum right now.

I did vomit and spent the entire following morning/afternoon/evening vomiting. I haven't been able to drink rum since without gagging. It was my favorite drink :(

[Wolf]

I stay with beer. It is just more enjoyable in my opinion.

[Scuba Ben]

By "beer" do you mean beer or do you mean American spiked piss?

Beer.

[boomerwang]

Beer with rum chasers? I might try that tonight! :science:

[boomerwang]

Actually, I had rum and Guinness tonight... plus some banana liqueur stuff. Needlessto say, I'mquite drunknow, and typing very slowly.

[TatSavitr]

Excellent. I'm slowly starting up with some nice, strong stout. Rum comes later.

[u wan buy dvd?]

sometimes I drink piss because I'm not an irrepressible hipster elitist who can't condescend to shitface himself on Coors harumph harumph.

I bet you don't drink gas station coffee either, Nancy

[Steophan]

I'm too ill to drink any of my rum at the moment :( Chucky, you'll have to have my share as well.

[boomerwang]

I'm not Nancy, but I do drink gas station coffee WHEN IT'S FREE.

Beer affectionados: Does Coors count as standard American pisswater?

[TatSavitr]

Yes.

[Plague Posey]

I can't have alcohol-- it makes me fun at parties then 200x as sick as a dog. So you go have yer disturbingly sweet rum for me and I'll pretend to sip some Laphroig thanks. 18 or older. Wave an ice cube at it, if you're in that sorta mood.

Mississippi Mud is the lightest 'Merrican beer worth countin' as beer.

[Steophan]

I'm well again, and about to try Bacardi Oakheart for the first time.

I'm also drunk on ale and listening to Bon Jovi, so the results of this test may not meet certain scientific standards.

[Steophan]

Hmm. It's sweet, spicy, and disguises the alcohol whilst still having a kick to it. That's a rather unexpected thumbs up.

I'm gonna chuck some in a coffee now, as I have to be awake for work in 8 hours and I can drink coffee with booze now, even if I don't sleep later.

IT MAKES SENSE DON'T TELL ME OTHERWISE

[SurlyOldBroad]

I have found my soul mates. Love for Zacapa and Zaya mentioned in the same thread? Stop everything. What's next? Professed love for Goslings Old Rum (not to be confused with Black Seal)? Could it be?


Well, could it?

[Scuba Ben]

SurlyOldBroad, hold out for the Habana label!

[SurlyOldBroad]

Juh?

[Scuba Ben]

Habana rum is from Cuba, and is not legal for Americans to purchase anywhere. It's reported to be very good.

[SurlyOldBroad]

Well now I'm sad that I don't have any. Ah well, I'll always have Barbancourt.

[Steophan]

Habana rum is from Cuba, and is not legal for Americans to purchase anywhere. It's reported to be very good.

I have, as I quite often do, a bottle of Havana Club 7-year-old, which is indeed very good. Sometimes it's nice to live in a country that's not ideologically opposed to an old man's beard.

[Steophan]

In other news, the Bacardi Oakheart goes extremely well with ginger beer.

[boomerwang]

Today I had a beer sandwich, with rum as the bread. BTW, http://youtu.be/1HIGCgpHYB4

[Steophan]

Hmm. 2/3 of a botle of Captain Morgan, a few shots of Oakheart, 1/4 of a bottle of Havana Club 7 and a bottle of red wine have made me feel... unusual.

Hopefully pizza and strong coffee will get me to the point where I can sleep, I have work in 13 hours time and need to allow for a brief interval of death before I start.

[Steophan]

Oh, and I might have fallen in love with a midget. Perhaps when I sober up I'll realise she's a bitch.

[Scuba Ben]

That's what you get for drinking with a lady toy poodle.

Now give me the rest of the Captain Morgan. It's for your own good, believe me!

[Steophan]

That's what you get for drinking with a lady toy poodle.

Now give me the rest of the Captain Morgan. It's for your own good, believe me!

Sorry, it's all gone. All that's left is the Havana Club, and no-one's getting that from me! I may not have any tonight though...

[SurlyOldBroad]

Why drink Captain Morgan in a world where Sailor Jerry exists? And why does spiced rum remind me of the holidays? Maybe its resemblance to egg nog. In any case, I've gone and made myself thirsty.

[Steophan]

I don't always want spiced rum, and Oakheart or Kraken are better than Sailor Jerry's anyway. Plus, Captain Morgan is cheaper, and sometimes I prefer a dark rum.

[SurlyOldBroad]

Sailor Jerry makes a white rum? And hear, hear. All is well as long as you don't start drinking Malibu. Then the terrorists win.

You know, I've never tried Kraken. What am I waiting on?

[Hunter Hawk]

I have found my soul mates. Love for Zacapa and Zaya mentioned in the same thread? Stop everything.

If you want something in the same style but cheaper, I'm also quite fond of the Mount Gay Barbados Sugar Cane Rum (http://ministryofrum.com/rumdetails.php?r=661)....which according to a glance at Wikipedia just now, has been discontinued :sciencefail:

Mount Gay also made a very good white rum, the name of which I'm blanking on and which I suspect has been discontinued.

Cruzan Single Barrel is a different style but quite good.

[Steophan]

Theirs is golden rum, rather than dark rum. White rum is of the devil. And not in a good way.

[Jeff]

Just to expand the list a little, I've tried a few nice rums this year and can say that Diplomatico Reserva and English Harbour 5yr are both great for drinking straight. Havana Club 7yr is a great mixer for coke, a lot of the flavor still comes through compared to other rums IMO. Bacardi 8yr is alright, smooth but bland compared to the rest.

[SurlyOldBroad]

Cruzan Single Barrel is a different style but quite good.Oh, the SOB likes her rum. A lot. Mount Gay is my regular go-to drink at home when I'm not feeling fancy. It's pretty decent for like $14 a fifth. Shit yeah! I'm also a drinker of all things Cruzan, except that flavored rum silliness they're coming out with now. What is that all about?

[Scuba Ben]

You know, I've never tried Kraken. What am I waiting on?

Kraken will put hair on your chest, before you even open the bottle. It's that good.

[SurlyOldBroad]

Sold!

Also, for the record, not all white rum is evil. 10 Cane makes a pretty good one, and for bonus material, if you have enough the name starts to look like "Iocane."

[Steophan]

White rum is vodka for weak people.

[SurlyOldBroad]

No, vodka is vodka for weak people.

[SurlyOldBroad]

I bought some Kraken on Saturday, and it was somehow all gone by Monday. Who drank all my rum? :fist:

[Steophan]

As for who drank up the rum -- have you checked your boobs for coarse hair today?

[They call me Tater]

I'll add this website to the discussion. They have an entire forum dedicated to rum. :hijack:

Ministry of Rum (http://www.ministryofrum.com/)

[SurlyOldBroad]

These people have their priorities in order.

[SurlyOldBroad]

As it turns out, there is a such thing as too much rum. Brb, dying now.

[Vinyl Turnip]

Rum is one of those beverages that, like Schlitz malt liquor and MD 20/20, I tend to associate with my pre-legal drinking era. Usually mixed with Coke and almost always culminating in the wet-and-dry heaves.

Granted, I never sampled anything classier than Bacardi, and nowadays I'll happily drink cachaça which is pretty darned similar, but I could live a long and relatively happy life without another drop of rum in it.

[Scuba Ben]

Steak for dinner last night. To cut the cholesterol, I followed it with a shot of rum.
