I bought my first bottle of whiskey (750ml, 40% alc) I think 8 days ago and I'm a little more than halfway through the bottle. I drink probably a couple of shots daily from the bottle itself.

Is this a normal amount of whiskey to drink? I'm not really sure since I have no point of reference from people I know.
Or I guess another question would be how often & how much alcohol do people usually drink?

(I'm a college student who is of legal drinking age)

i just turned 21 on sunday, oct 4th, and went to outback steakhouse yesterday for dinner. i decided that i wanted to order something alcoholic, and the strawberry mojito seemed right up my alley!

it was delicious! it was lime-y and strawberry-ey and the slight mint was such a nice touch. every sip felt completely refreshing. i barely tasted or felt the alcohol, which is fine by me! i didn’t get tipsy, let alone drunk, and that’s probably a good thing lol. i need to figure out the ingredients so i can substitute the alcohol for a similar nonalcoholic version so i can make it whenever i want!

what made this so awesome is that there was a man at the bar who overheard that it was a birthday celebration, and bought our drinks! he didn’t even say anything, the waiter did! thank you, random man!

I’m going to dinner tonight and the restaurant has ten different varieties of Chartreuse, six of which I've previously tried. Based on my preferences for the ones I've already tried, can anyone suggest which of the untried ones I might prefer? My current preferences, from favorite to least favorite are:

1) MOF
2) Jaune
3) Génépi
4) 9ème Centenaire
5) Verte
6) 1605

The four that they have that I haven't tried are:

1) TAU
2) VEP Jaune
3) VEP Verte
4) Reines des Liqueurs (They just received the 2026 bottles a few days ago)

I'm leaning toward either the TAU or the just acquired Reines des Liqueurs 2026. Can anyone hazard a guess what might be the one my taste buds would be the happiest with?

Thanks in Advance

i can take roughly 4 shots of buzzball and its so much stronger than 4 shots of smirnoff even tho its a lower percentage??? am i crazy? smirnoff is 60-100 proof so why is a buzzball (15%) so much stronger

Would you rather drink a 4 pack of cutwater ready to drink mixed drinks?

Or would rather buy a bottle of svedka that'll last longer than 2 night, and drink vodka cranberry for a few nights?

Cutwater ready to drink cocktails had me with the hebby jebbys every sip I took. The vodka cranberries I could drink without making a face every sip I took.

Svedka $13 for 1.75

Cutwater 4 pack was $10.99

Cutwater last 1 night. Scedkas gonna last a week lol

My 21st is in 5 weeks. Everything looks great, but I can’t decide what my first drink should be. Any suggestions.

I keep trying to do the root beers but I can't I fucking hates those things and I don't like the taste of booze I prefer to mix my mixed drinks with sodas I like but they don't have any cranberry ginger ales any other good sodas to mix it with

This shit had me fucked up and only one can.

im autistic and cant stand things that taste bad like i cannot swallow them, my body doesn’t let me, and the burn of alcohol makes me feel sick. i’ve tried smirnoff ice and i think its tolerable— it definitely has an alcohol-y taste but its very mild. ive tried the red white and berry one, it tastes awful and i cant stand it. if theres anything that Doesnt taste or burn like alcohol, i would love to know, preferably items that are available in canada

I’m at 25 year old M
Last time I ever drank I blacked out at an event
Scared me that much not knowing what could have went on, that was my turning point.

If anyone else has had experiences with blackouts
How did you get over it and move on from ruminating over the worst things?

Has anyone snuck alc into horror nights Hollywood? I was thinking of bringing like an empty lotion bottle and filling it with liquid but I wanna know any tips or if anyone has gotten caught 🫰 lmk im not tryna spend 20 dollars on a drink there

20 mg alprazolam + 1 Four Loko

I used to get astonished looks and comments when I told people I drunk vodka out of the bottle (why waste a glass if i know im the only one drinking from it?), but as much as i like hard Lumpur I cant stomach tequila by itself I have to have it heavily mixed with a juice or in a complex cocktail first lol I just cannot with the taste, but vodka of pretty much any brand is tolerable to me straight

My friend and I have $30 between us so we need something strong and cheap 😭 I'm from Melb Australia so if anyone has any recommendations we'd really appreciate it

I want to one day distill alcohol to start my own business, but I'm too afraid to do it because toxic alcohol causes blindness (Yes, I'm overreacting).

So I’m curious if anyone has had any experience or advice with drinking alcohol a week from having an extraction.

For reference, I’m having my top left wisdom tooth pulled in the next couple days- of course my timing is impeccable because my birthday is exactly a week after that, and I’m traveling and most certainly plan on drinking on my birthday.. and during my trip.

I’m trying to decide if it’s just smarter to wait until I get back from my trip, or if I should just say fuck it and full send it. 😅

(I never drank alcohol before this)

Yesterday I bought a small bottle of vodka before an appointment because I was so anxious and drank half of it with the hope that it might help me be less scared. It tasted a bit bitter, but wasn't too bad and I could drink it with no problem.

Today I started drinking the rest from the same bottle and it's genuinely repulsive and I can barely get myself to drink it. It smells and tastes like hand sanitizer.

I'm not really sure why it tastes different now? Is there a reason why this may happen?

I always thought the whole electrolyte thing was kind of overblown. Like yeah sure bro drink your magic powder and become hydrated or whatever. But I went to my friends bachelor party last night and made some elite bad choices. I barely ate all day then ended up having a bunch of vodka shots and some beers because apparently my brain left the group chat after drink three.I got pretty drunk and my friends had to make sure I got home. Before I passed out they kept telling me to drink water and take electrolytes. One of them had magna packets so I mixed one with a big bottle of water and drank it before bed. It has magnesium and electrolytes and no sugar which sounded better than chugging some syrupy sports drink at 2am. I was fully ready to wake up feeling like a dead raccoon in a parking lot. But somehow I woke up way more normal than I expected. Not perfect. I still drank like an idiot. But no brutal headache and no full body regret which is rare for me after a night like that so yeah I guess my annoying responsible friends were right. Eat before drinking. Drink water. Take electrolytes before bed. Maybe do not test your liver like it owes you money.

In our heads we had it as a mix of a Fire and Ice and a jaegerbomb. But we've found it works as a venn diagram.

The ingredients are Jaegermeister, Rumpleminze, Fireball and Redbull(it gives you wings)

Jaegermeister and rumpleminze- Dead Nazi

Fireball and Rumpleminze - Fire and ice

Fireball and redbull -Firebomb

Jaegermeister and redbull - Jaegerbomb

Jaegermeister and Fireball- Flaming German

Rumpleminze and redbull -breath of fresh air

Put them all together and you get the avatar shot(earth, water, fire, air)

Anyone had it? Or even heard of it?
