I'm getting bored.
With my usual tipples of cider or gin and tonic.

I want to start enjoying a new 'usual' but I'm at a loss as to what drink to throw myself into.

Suggestions? Price/taste/alcohol content are all factors, as is availability.

Alternatively, what's the best ever slang word for breasts?

norks
or

diddies

as for the bevvy, get into some fine belgian beers...hoegaarden and aventinus are good places to start

good suggestion, except...
aventinus is german. not that there's anything wrong with that...
(tuqueboy has been in a medically -induced coma since, Mon 17 Aug 2009, 17:39, Reply)

i stand corrected
it is indeed german, and one of my favourite beers of all time


i should have known better

*weeps*
(Cancer Joy was short lived, Mon 17 Aug 2009, 20:19, Reply)

it's pretty awesome stuff
Have you tried the aventinus eisbock? same thing, only more intense
(tuqueboy has been in a medically -induced coma since, Mon 17 Aug 2009, 20:28, Reply)

NO
but i am fairly desperate to do so. the only place i have seen it is the Aventinus website itself. When i get some fast and loose cash, THEN.

How about Trappist Rocheforte 10, now there's a beer as well, like a meal in a glass.

Or a few of the Heather Ale beers..Froach, the heather one and the magnificent pine needle infused Alba.
(Cancer Joy was short lived, Mon 17 Aug 2009, 21:05, Reply)

got some
rochefort 10 in my cellar at the moment. not exactly a summer beer, but a damned nice way to end an evening. the fraoch's pretty tasty. i'm curious to try their seaweed ale and their gooseberry ale looks interesting.

Delerium Tremens is a good one
I'm an XO cognac man myself, when possible - but if price is an issue move along, nothing to see here....

EDIT

Depends on the orbs in question, but sometimes they're most definitely good old KNOCKERS

.
A good Belgian beer I discovered recently is Chimay Bleue. A bit on the expensive side but tasty and gets you drunk pretty quick.

My vote is for chesticles.
( mistaspakkaman and the inedible shifting caterpillars, Mon 17 Aug 2009, 19:33, Reply)

I can't see past Cans
And I also love a good J.D. and Coke.

Or if I'm feeling classy and pretentious I'll go for a good whisky like Old Pulteney with a fancy bottled beer to wash it down...

Don't really have a usual
I'm a real ale or wine person I suppose.

Oh, and chebs. Definitely chebs.

NORKS!
If you're a "serious" cider man (i.e., something like Weston's as a minimum, rather than this Magners/Bulmers silliness) then you might want to dip into ale - if price is an issue, they're almost always one of the cheapest options in the pub. And you get a huge range of flavours. The only foreseeable catch might be the alcoholic content as...well, they're beer-strength.

Though if that is the case, cancer joy is right - the Belgian stuff is usually stronger (though, conversely, it costs more in this country)
(LongJohnBaldry, Mon 17 Aug 2009, 17:29, Reply)

I am
a serious cider drinker. The cloudier the better!

Ale could be a shout, although I've had so many 'bad' pints over the years, the thought of getting bladdered on ale doesn't sit comfortable.

Mullered.

Third vote for norks!

( Maladicta, Mon 17 Aug 2009, 17:37, Reply)

Provencal red wine - ideally Vacqueyras, Gigondas or Lirac
although Coteaux D'Aix isnt bad either.

"Sweater meat" - one from our American cousins.

mojitos
white rum, some mint, some lime juice, topped off with soda and if you're feeling posh, a drop or two of angostura bitters. very refreshing and alarmingly easy to drink, even if you make it half rum.

edit: rack
(tuqueboy has been in a medically -induced coma since, Mon 17 Aug 2009, 17:41, Reply)

That won't happen.
I enjoy a mojito as much as the next man, but I'm not going to go to either my local, or any other tradional boozer and order one. I'll be battered by the suspecious punters in the pub.
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Mon 17 Aug 2009, 18:17, Reply)

then i'd
vote for real ale. or you could do a nice barley wine.
(tuqueboy has been in a medically -induced coma since, Mon 17 Aug 2009, 20:31, Reply)

My new fave is Mint Julep
Shockingly easy to drink at any time of the day, even before 7am.

Oh, and RACK.

South Africans make excellent Pinot Noir and Pinotage
And I'll "plump" for chesticles.

Banrock Station
sparkling red Shiraz wine. It's like cherry cream soda, only much much nicer, and it makes you fall over. I get it by the case.

Oh, and Norks is the bestest ever word for breasts.

Jubblies
I've recently favoured vodka, lime and tonic ............. Bitter is also tidy.

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Mon 17 Aug 2009, 20:41, Reply)

As The Light In Chains likes to remind us.....
Red wine is best of all the alcohols.

And jubblies is also a fave of mine.
( girlinthehole, Mon 17 Aug 2009, 19:32, Reply)

Chebs!
And my vote goes to real ale - Bombardier, Lancashire Bomber, Ruddles, Courage, Hobgoblin, etc.

Can't lose!
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Mon 17 Aug 2009, 19:43, Reply)

Have you tried
the Ruddles Rhubarb? A possibly alarming combination but in reality it's so good I became a bit addicted to it when the weather was hot.

Badger Brewery's Golden Glory and Golden Champion are also top faves.

And I think I still favour good old boobies. Although chesticles is growing on me...

Or, failing that, why not try Guinness.
Both have caused me headaches.

Meths and Lambrini.
Because you need something to cut the taste of the Lambrini.

Wow, I'm arriving late to this party.
Mount Gay rum and coke (not pepsi, I'm a fussy bast) does it for me. It is, IMHO, the best rum I've ever tried, and I've tried a few.



Also, "front bottom".
