The Unofficial Booze Thread

Okay, now I certainly don't mean to ruffle feathers, but I wonder what the other kaleuns quaff after/during a rough patrol.... or whenever the time is right.

For me it varies, but usually beer will suffice. Stella Artoise? Stella!!! If only Iowa would import Weinhard's from wherever the Western States get it, I would be truly, a mostly content man. Perhaps it is a forbidden product in this strange and uncertain culture of which I am. Is Iowa part of the Iron Curtain which still lives within my warped childhood memories? Only repeated watchings of famous American documentary "Red Dawn" will tell, perhaps.

BTW if anyone who posted about Hoegaarden in http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=160276 is reading, I did find some "Hoegaarden White" (at least that's what they call it here, apparently) for sale locally. Worth a try, or no?

I don't drink when I'm on patrol. It wouldn't be fair to my crew to be less than clear minded if we run into an enemy patrol.

However, if we manage to sink a ship full of British ale and manage to haul a few crates aboard, the men deserve a bit of relaxation. Or perhaps we break out a bit of the "depth charge medicine" after a particularly tough time of playing dodgeball with the escorts.

One of these days I'm going to buy myself a bottle of Drambuie.

Good stuff!

Henry's is from the Irish part of the country, O'regon.

When I can get it, I prefer THIS brewery:

I mean, how can you not like a beer brewed in a town called, "Hopland"?

Here are my other 2 faves:

or this, quite simply, the best brandy in the world:

My Daddy always taught me to drink the best. That way, you go broke BEFORE you become an alcoholic.

I'm always sipping on Guinness Drought or occasionally their cream stout or Sam Adams Lager.

I like beer that tastes like beer and not that watered down crap.

I don't drink. But when I did - and this was years ago mind you, it was B-52's or Orange Jubillee Mad Dog mixed with Everclear (tastes like orange juice, has a kick like a MULE).

Now I don't drink, nor do I smoke....

My vice is somewhere else entirely - and alot more fun than either!
