Beer Snob Vent...

[Byatch1979]

Labatt black ice is great for getting hammed. It's 6. something %, tastes nasty at first but once you get over the hump (4 or so) and drink them fast, the rest tastes like water. Only twelve bucks for a 15 pack (that's cheap in Canada) and after one of those and a few fatties, I know not what I speak or do.

The problem I have with that is I burned myself out on hard alcohol when I was younger (18). The thing with beer is it's a much smoother transition from buzzed to drunk. For me, it goes like this:

slightly buzzed/buzzed/hardbuzzed/drunk/hammered

Whereas, with hard stuff, because it's harder to gauge where I'm at, I constantly overshoot and drink too much. For me, it goes like this:

slightly buzzed/drunk/hammered

Plus I've learned to enjoy the taste of beer, as opposed to holding my breath just to slam down a shot or two of some nasty rum.

An ice cold Bud and a shot of Wild Turkey...it's one drink. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat...Rep....R.........

And I do not drink any other beer than Bud...don't care what the snobs think.

I'll drink almost any beer BUT Bud. Guess we're back to disagreeing again.

I am not a beer snob. I cannot stand beer snobs, mostly because they are not beer drinkers, for the sake of beer, but for the sake of snobbery.

But I can't stand people who wear fruit of the looms, HANES is the only underwear!

Completely untrue... people drinking solely for the sake of snobbery are much better suited to be wine connoisseurs.

Beer snobs... its like 55% about the beer, 45% about the snobbery.

Well, I agree that beer is better to drink when you're just hanging out w/ friends. But it shouldn't be too hard to figure out how many shots it takes before you are hammered. You just have to make sure you eat enough and drink enough water. One thing I agree with you about shots is it's very easy to get from "slightly buzzed" to "hammered" if you're not watching yourself. It all depends on the plans for the night though.

You, Sir, are a masochist.

I only drink Gorilla Farts if I lose a bet. You can see FUMES rising out of the glass.
