How Often Does Basil Drink?

Talking about alcoholic beverages, assuming you are old enough to drink. Weekdays I usually take a little bit less than 4 shots in the morning before heading to class, usually a heavy cocktail I sip while reviewing reading or notes and then put two shots in my coffee that I drink during class. Only drink on weekends on special occasions via living at home atm but Jw what Basil's drinking schedule looks like.

Bonus: shots, beer, cocktails, wines or what is your choice?

I don't drink often, and I'm 17 in the U.S. so I guess that makes sense.
When I went camping I drank about 5 shots worth of whiskey just in a plastic cup.
I drank a beer that I found in my fridge cause there was nothing else.
I drink some whiskey whenever I'm at a get together with my parents and relatives.

I think I'm really a heavyweight though.

Once a month if even.

I drank as much or more in the 3 years leading up to me being legal drinking age than the 3 years since. I'm not a huge fan of the feeling alcohol induces. Specifically the feeling a few drinks induces. I enjoy beer, but if I only have a few, I don't feel the best. If I'm trying to get drunk, it's usually better, until the next day, when I feel it's never worth it. I just feel [i]off[/i].

For those reasons, my recreational drug of choice is pot, which I usually have a better time handling in general.

[quote=WontPostMuch]Any liquors you suggest to accompany a meal?[/quote]depends if we're talking before or after, but personally after a meal i have a cup of black espresso + a glass of amaretto, seriously the most delicious combination in the world. as far as straight liquor is concerned i'd usually just stick to cognac or gin/bourbon very rarely, also partial to a shot of something like tequila or grappa as a palate cleanser. if there's dessert involved then fortified wines are also good, something like port or madeira/marsala. i also really like straight vermouth but i don't think that's a very common opinion? anyway there's a whole lot out there, pretty easy to find something you like

Beer or wine with dinner every night. Gin & tonic if I'm at a bar and the beer's all poopy. I like a good drink, but the "I'm gonna get hella drunk tonight" mindset died shortly after I turned 21.

I love craft beers and drink them regularly- huge fan of Belgian Trappist ales

Love me some gin and scotch, with the occasional fruity cocktail

That being said, I don't drink all that often and when I do, I try to get others to pay for me haha but I'm definitely a proponent of quality over quantity. If I'm going to poison myself, I better use the good ish

I like to have a beer with a meal if it pairs well.

I drink alcohol often, but I get drunk rarely.
Maybe once or twice a month max for drunk times, unless I'm emotionally unstable due to some tragic life event.

only when people in my club invite me to a party which is like 1-2 times per academic quarter. i'm not a hard partier so I enjoy more intimate settings with friends and people I can trust, mostly because I've only drank three times. plus, it's free :')

Ya, I only drink at parties or other social gatherings e.g. pre-gaming.

So maybe like twice every three weeks.

[quote=Craftinrock]I know a lot of people that drink at Uni, it's way more common than I thought.

I'm just a casual drinker in the afternoon when I get home; couple of beers here, a cocktail there, a bottle of wine every so often.
On the weekends though, everything and anything is fair game.

My guilty pleasure is wine, I'll usually have that to myself but I'll bring it to parties sometimes as well. I used to drink tons of whiskey and scotch but I've toned that down recently in place of good ol' beer. Tequila is something I always drink though.[/quote]

This except the whine I never had whine honestly.

Yeah I feel you dude that more or less used to be my schedule save I never shied away from morning drinking and a cup of Sake for lunch. My only problem was how expensive it was getting. What do you see in wine though? Are you one of those types of people that drink a certain type of wine only or you just love it's taste in general? Me, I always found more enjoyment out of hard alcohol and beers more for times when I want to be drinking all day but retain some mental faculties (ie long poker matches with friends).

You my bro for that love of Tequila doe. God, it's such an awesome drink, def. my go to beverage when n it comes to taking alcohol by itself.

I had my "phase" with such beverages in my early 20s. Back then I'd only do the girly fruity drinks w/ hard liquor and the sugary sweet soda-like malt liquor things. But, now it's mainly beer & wine. I actually had a super cocktail phase for the first 5 months of this year where I started using one of those mixer/shaker things and I bought bookoo liquors [spiced rum, coconut rum, vodka, watermelon vodka, king cake vodka (yuck, btw don't ever drink that, ESPECIALLY at room-temp), tequila, gin, & various flavorings like triple-sec, grenadine, etc] & mixed them w/ fruit juices. It was a good run (my fave involved pineapple/orange juice & coconut rum). But eventually I burned myself out on those.

Nowadays, if I feel like I can afford the extra calories, I'll upgrade my water with my dinner to one of those from my fridge. On my weekends, I'll allow more than one beer/glass of wine. And when I say beer, I don't mean that "water" beer. I drink mainly amber/bock beers. I rarely get wasted anymore b/c I don't really party. It's just me & my S.O. at home. You can't really party that often w/ just 2 ppl lol. And irl friends are hard to come by where I live & with what I do for a living.

I had a roommate in college that would come home from classes in the evening and fill a tall glass w/ vodka and throw in several ice cubes. And he'd sip on that until it's time for bed. Gross.
