soju ftw.. lite version of vodka and no need for chasers. IF things get boring, you can add fruit juice and mix it into cocktails. I can drink bottles of it without even noticing. It gives a clean drunkenness, and hangover can be taken care of with a bowl of pho!

LOL - Cuba Libre - the way to order a rum and Coke with a side of spit. I guess it's a good bar tender test. Alembic whips up a mean Old Fashioned BTW.
For myself, I usually stick to beer but if I want to sip something whilst holding my pinky up, it's probably going to be a glass of Maker's unless I can find something I like better, or a Tanqueray and Tonic because that's how Snoop rolls.
I rented a room to the director of a bar tending school for a while so I was pretty wasted most of the time in those days. We put our heads together and came up with something sort of like a AMF meets a Tokyo Tea, and called it an Emerald Asskicker. Some places around the Bay will serve it, but I have the recipe somewhere so I will find it and post it. It was pretty funny to see people try to drink 3 or 4 and then up staying for the night. It was bright green and tasted pretty good but DAMN.

GT knew what was up.
Then again he drinks alone. With nobody else.......and when he drinks alone, he prefers to be by himself....

+1 to scotch/whisky/bourbon if you're out with the guys, or there's just a few women. If you're new to scotch, start with Glenmorangie, Highland Park or Macallan on the rocks. Then move to Lagavulin or Laphroig when you are easing off the sweet stuff. Peety scotches are the ones that taste like charcoal, stay away from those til you're tired of sweet.
Effen Black Cherry vodka + tonic is good if you're buying a round for a mixed group of men and women. Not sweet, not strong, but still does the job.

I've only gotten attitude from bartenders here in the south bay, though so YMMV.

The point of a Cuba Libre is that it is garnished with a lime. You order a Cuba Libre so you don't sound like a **** when you ask for rum and coke with a lime in it - and then the bartender has to look at you like you're stupid and say "you mean a cuba libre?"

Some guys add a bit of lime juice in it, which is the way i like it best. Was in Costa Rica recently at a beach bar that was heavy with the lime and it tasted better their. Maybe because of the atmosphere or maybe they was using the real sugar coke instead. I had my share of mai tai's also, but ive found everyone makes a mai tai differently, so i never know what to expect. Most of the time though a tall beer is my choice but i guess thats a different thread.
Just had lunch at Freewheel Brewing Co again today, with a bitter and an IPA.
LOVE THAT PLACE.
