Matt Young Posted July 26, 2005 Report Posted July 26, 2005 My 21st birthday is coming up this Saturday. I've imbibed many an alcoholic beverage in my day, but mostly they have been random varieties of the cheapest sorts of hard liquor (vodka and whiskey) that could be found. I've had many types of beer, but I've always been more of a liquor guy. I'd say my favorite types of hard liquor are Southern Comfort and (while the "hard part is debatable, it's 30%) peppermint schnapps. Every Wednesday for the past 2 months or so, I've been drinking Budweiser at this pizza place/bar (Wednesdays are 40% off nights) and I'm enjoying that. I've rarely ever had any mixed drinks, though. What do you recommend I try on my birthday that will get me good and sloshed, but not too fucked up to where I can't enjoy some quality post-drinking time with the old lady?
Crimson Platypus Posted July 26, 2005 Report Posted July 26, 2005 You must, must MUST get two friends and order 3 Three Wise Men shots. Don't ask what's in it, don't watch them make it, just order it and drink it.
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted July 26, 2005 Report Posted July 26, 2005 The tradition around here is a Rusty Water. 151 and hot sauce. If you go anywhere with some class, order a James Bond martini.
Nighthawk Posted July 26, 2005 Report Posted July 26, 2005 I don't do mixed drinks, but Grey Goose is the best vodka, that and Ketel One.
Damaramu Posted July 26, 2005 Report Posted July 26, 2005 Lucky punk. Your 21st is on a Saturday. The bar scene will be hopping. Mine is on a fucking Tuesday.
NoCalMike Posted July 27, 2005 Report Posted July 27, 2005 Irish Car Bomb Black Hole(Have them make it with RumpleMintz instead of peppermint schnapps) Shot of Patron Silver Tequilla
Matt Young Posted July 27, 2005 Author Report Posted July 27, 2005 (edited) Black Hole(Have them make it with RumpleMintz instead of peppermint schnapps) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Isn't Rumpleminze (that's how I always thought it was spelled) peppermint schnapps with 50% alcohol? I had planned on trying some but have never seen any around. I'll probably have to get it at an actual liquor store if I want a bottle. With that said, thanks for the suggestions, and keep 'em coming. EDIT: I should have said this before alongside the "not wanting to get too sloshed not to function" part, but I'm 5'8" and 125 pounds for those who don't know, and my tolerance is pretty low now thanks to rarely drinking more than twice per week these days.

Guest Vitamin X Posted July 27, 2005 Report Posted July 27, 2005 Try a Jager Bomb to start the night off, since it won't make you tired (It's Red Bull and Jagermeister).
Alro Posted July 27, 2005 Report Posted July 27, 2005 One of the shots I remember taking on my 21st birthday was a Prairie Fire - Tequila and Tobasco. If you're not looking for anything fancy, I suggest Jim Beam Black.
Darthtiki Posted July 27, 2005 Report Posted July 27, 2005 Guinness Oban 14 year old single malt scotch
RepoMan Posted July 28, 2005 Report Posted July 28, 2005 A Grecian Urn or a Sweety Mexican can be fun. For mixed drinks, I recomened 7 and 7, Tom Collins, or an Amirillo Sour. I'd stick to the cheapest beer at the bars b/c you'll be too shit faced to tell the difference.
Fartsauce Posted July 28, 2005 Report Posted July 28, 2005 The P fire is so fucking gross. It's still fun to give to someone on a birthday. The tradition around here is to just do straight up tequila. You might not be walking by the end of the night though.
NoCalMike Posted July 30, 2005 Report Posted July 30, 2005 Oh and Rumplemintz is similar to Peppermint Schnapps, but no nasty after taste and it is 100 Proof.
Lord of The Curry Posted July 30, 2005 Report Posted July 30, 2005 A shot of liquid cocaine is always delicious.
tekcop Posted July 30, 2005 Report Posted July 30, 2005 Try a Jager Bomb to start the night off, since it won't make you tired (It's Red Bull and Jagermeister). <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I've been wanting to try this for a while now. Ever since someone at work told me about it.
NoCalMike Posted July 30, 2005 Report Posted July 30, 2005 Jagerbombs are good, but the outrageous price of a redbull at a bar usually keeps me from ordering one. The one time I had one at a bar, a buddy bought himself and the rest of our group a round.
Ace309 Posted July 30, 2005 Report Posted July 30, 2005 (edited) Well, you could have a disastrous night drinking Long Island Iced Teas, which are a bit ... pink, but then, so is peppermint schnapps. If you want to go the traditional route, just throw down the gauntlet by telling people it's your birthday and wait for the shots to roll in. Order a beer, or a Budweiser since that seems to be your bag, as a chaser and just nurse it between shots. Most young drinkers who have attachments to things like peppermint schnapps also appreciate the flavored vodka tonic. Depending where you are, they'll usually have a variety of flavore vodkas, ranging from lemon to raspberry to peach, and I've even seen mango around. Mandarin and tonic is a perfectly acceptable version, although I'm partial to green apple. You might be tempted to order a martini. Don't. The only "martinis" you're likely to find palatable will be fruity and flourescent, and being seen drinking them will completely interfere with your getting laid. (Real martinis are an excuse for drunks like myself to drink four shots of gin without admitting to drinking four shots of gin.) If I'm misinterpreting and you do have a taste for the harsher liquors, go ahead and suck down good bourbon or scotch all night. It's also acceptable to drink cheap scotch with a splash of amaretto, provided you refer to it as a Godfather and never actually admit that you're drinking amaretto. If you do, your penis will visibly shrink. (I'm partial to The Dalmore's Cigar Malt as far as scotch goes. It's good stuff.) Enjoy! Let us know you're not dead once you wake up on Monday.

Matt Young Posted July 30, 2005 Author Report Posted July 30, 2005 LOL, thanks. it's now officially my birthday and I am drunk. I also have to be up at 8 AM to drink with a friend who is leaving town this afternoon. If I can get a ride, I'll be hitting up bars in Los Angeles (45 minutes away). Maybe I'll run into Ashlee Simpson and get my dick sucked in the bathroom.
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted July 30, 2005 Report Posted July 30, 2005 Drink a Rusty Water or Prairie Fire immediately before going to the last bar of the evening.
Matt Young Posted July 30, 2005 Author Report Posted July 30, 2005 Honestly, ai m keeping track of everyone's suggestions and I plan on drinking one if I can get it for free... or cheap.
Sideburnious Posted July 30, 2005 Report Posted July 30, 2005 Deffo stick with the Southern Comfort. Other than that I'd say get your hands on some Goldshclager. Had some last night. It's delicious and it has gold in it.
Guest Undertow Posted August 1, 2005 Report Posted August 1, 2005 I don't do mixed drinks, but Grey Goose is the best vodka, that and Ketel One. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Grey Goose is amazing.
cue_meanie Posted August 11, 2005 Report Posted August 11, 2005 Grey Goose is like Chris Benoit, very good, but way to overrated.
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted August 12, 2005 Report Posted August 12, 2005 Southern Comfort is so fuckin' vile. Barf.
Crimson Platypus Posted August 12, 2005 Report Posted August 12, 2005 Southern Comfort is so fuckin' vile. Barf. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Seconded. Some nasty shit there.
NoCalMike Posted August 15, 2005 Report Posted August 15, 2005 Southern Comfort is so fuckin' vile. Barf. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Seconded. Some nasty shit there. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> When it comes to Whiskey/bourbon, I go with Jim Bean,(I like it the most out of the SoCo/JD/J Bean trio) Crown Royal(My fav), and Kessler(Best Mixer)
Guest Big_Jay101 Posted August 15, 2005 Report Posted August 15, 2005 Straight Everclear 190 proof..... that'll do the trick
geniusMoment Posted August 27, 2005 Report Posted August 27, 2005 I usually go with Capt. Morgan's and coke or Jager bombs.
Matt Young Posted August 27, 2005 Author Report Posted August 27, 2005 Southern Comfort is so fuckin' vile. Barf. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It's definitely my favorite. Man, I've been drinking way too often in the month since I have turned 21.
