Anyone else a b*tch drinker?

:raises hand:

I don't know what it is...but I just cannot develop a taste for strong alcohol. No matter how much I've drank I just never get used to it.

If I drink...there has to be very little alcohol taste or I just can't drink it.

Some of my favorite drinks:
-Smirnoff Ice
-Mike's Hard Anything
-Rum & Coke...with Malibu ONLY
-Screwdrivers
-Malibu Bay Breezes
-Long Island Iced Teas

Is anyone else this way? Can anyone else recommend something I should try?

Well, long island iced teas can be really strong actually.

and smirnoff and mikes hard, etc don't even count, they are the about the same alcohol content as beer.

Well if you can't drink anything hard...

I suggest vodka, I think it goes down pretty easily. Skye or something isn't really expensive and good. Mix it with some type of juice or soda and it's fine. Like Vodka and a juice, than if you want a bit of sprite can be good too in it.

A really easy drink to take is Hypnotic, lol, had it once and it's a bit sweet and like 25-30 for a liter. But the alcohol content is less than the average liquor, but it goes down easily. I've actually mixed it with something and used it to chase.

I dunno, I just stick to vodka mainly really... so don't know a lot of drinks.

I'd suggest you use a chaser and you can drink anything. Just take a shot, (without takinga breath) than drink some chaser, THEN breath. If you do it all in one breath, you don't get any aftertaste of the liquor and it goes down like nothing. So if you really still hate the taste of liquor (I personally don't like the taste either), do that.

Anywayz, beer isn't bad... so could drink that too.

I agree. I'm usually a Smirnoff Ice girl, but Skye Vodka mixed with a little cranberry juice does wonders for my mood.

I'm another bitch drinker (as anyone at BWW HH can attest to) and somehow I'm thinking straight vodka, with or without chasers, will send FOA into cardiac arrest. I love, love Smirnoff Ice - perhaps I'll try Syke Vodka with cranberry juice (probably more than a "little" juice though, for the sake of my heart ).

Do you like creamy drinks like Kahlua and Bailey's?

Yeah, Bacardi breezers, Smirnoff ice, and Mike's hard lemonade are the best bitch drinks...the alcohol content is like 5% and those drinks are practically all sugar. Haha...

Yea, exactly, they taste nothing like alcohol, they are definetly good. I'd honestly rather drink that than soda for the taste... bit too sweet at times tho.

And yea, maybe straight vodka isn't a good idea, evne with chasers. But as I said, and others as well, Skye... and cranberry is good, but like any juice will do, fruit punch, orange juice, or one of thsoe crazy mixed fruit drinks. It's all pretty good with skye, or any vodka really. Although ceaper vodka really sucks (I hate Georgie).

So really think out of all the liquors most people can handle vodka mixed. Also rum and coke too, plenty seem to like that, although i don't hate it. Mostly because of my bad experience with drinking too much capt mo and coke... now don't like rum.

I'm not a beer fan at all, and I'd have to say that my drink of choice is vodka. I tend to go for it without a chaser, but it's an individual preference. Skyy is really good, especially mixed with juice - it definitely gets my vote. But also, you could give vanilla or strawberry vodka a try. Not sure how expensive it is, but they taste akin to liquid candy - you can taste the flavor more than you can the alcohol. And, vanilla vodka mized with coke tastes a lot like Vanilla Coke, with a slight kick to it. :) Yum!

I guess I would fall into that category.

I don't drink at all because I can't stand the taste or the feeling.

Mmm, Bacardi Breezers are my favourite coolers.

This summer I had these coolers called Vex. Apparently they had a higher alcohol percentage than other coolers. And they were cheaper, because you got 6 in a pack instead of 4, for about the same price. They were okay tasting, but you couldn't beat them for value, I guess. That said, I like my rum and Coke.

I'm not a big drinker myself, but if I have a social drink or two, I like Stoli Ohranj and Sprite. It's reeeeally good and never really very strong. I suggest you try it!

Actually sometimes the sweeter drinks, like Mike's Hard and Smirnoff Ice, can hit you faster and harder than stronger ones. My allergies might have something to do with this, but I find if I drink a cooler or Mike's Hard, I get sicker faster than if I have vodka shots. I don't know if it's the sugar mixed with the alcohol that does it.

(After literally half a Cosmopolitan at BWW HH, my face was beet red and I had to stumble to the bathroom to throw up a bit.)

Oh my goodness, Tiff! I have a friend who's allergic to certain kinds of alcohol. He's not so much fun to go out with.

B-b-but, I'm still fun! Everyone had a ball making fun of me and gawking at how red I'd gotten! I was pinker than the Cosmo!

No, no! I'm sure you're fun! This guy just gets miserably ill. Not good...

I get very flushed when I drink, too. It's my complexion!

i'm the wrong person to talk to! The drinks you mention won't pass my lips unless i'm that drunk i need a sweet drink to refresh me! I prefer a pint of stout, bitter or guinness then as the night goes on hit the top shelf (vodka, port and wkd, whiskey etc) it's just what my group do... i couldn't handle a night on the aforementioned drinks... i'd feel i was wasting my money
