This is a “my dad can beat up your dad” statement.Unflavored vodka is more dangerous than weed.
Alcohol of any kind is more dangerous than cannabis.This is a “my dad can beat up your dad” statement.
It depends on how we define dangerous, but in general I agree. I will say for me, though, I feel cannabis is more dangerous than alcohol in terms of ability to be in control of my boundaries and aware of my surroundings. A shot or two of vodka and I can’t drive, but I have my faculties. I do not have the same experience with cannabis.Alcohol of any kind is more dangerous than cannabis.
Or Sambucca?The legal definition of vodka is that it must be a clear alcohol, with no odour and no taste.
Don't know wwhat you've been drinking. Ouzo perhaps?
Then I must be very dangerous considering how many shots of plain vodka I’ve done. I usually do it help clear my sinuses and help me sleep. OpeUnflavored vodka is more dangerous than weed.
Me too. 10 years. No AA. Never wanted another drink.But Jesus set me free from alcohol.
Glory to God!Me too. 10 years. No AA. Never wanted another drink.
I like Blue Moon.It's a matter of taste. What do you like?
For wheat beer, I can recommend Paulaner Hefeweisen.I like Blue Moon.
I don’t think I’ve tried any of those.For wheat beer, I can recommend Paulaner Hefeweisen.
If you are in it for the citrus: Citrus and beer were made for each other
On that list I can say I've Ballast Point, Stone, Dogfish Head. Be sure to read the label, though. Both Dogfish Head and Stone are known for IPAs and if you're not into bitterness/hops you're not going to enjoy it.
I'm a sucker for a good IPA. When we travelled around the States just prior to covid I thought it was going to be all Budweiser and Coors. Boy, was I very pleasantly surprised. Strange that every place I decided to stay was near a boutique brewery. I'm sure my wife still thinks it was a coincidence.For wheat beer, I can recommend Paulaner Hefeweisen.

I never understood the appeal of coors lite. I prefer Busch lite if I want to have a beer. Haven't tried many IPAs yet.I'm a sucker for a good IPA.

Hmm. I happen to be standing a couple of metres from all those ingredients. Whilst drinking Una Paloma. Lime juice, simple syrup, pink grapefruit juice. And a slug of tequila. Stir, add chunky ice and a sprinkle of quality salt.Interesting thread. Has anyone here ever heard of a French 75? It's my favorite summer drink. And very similar to a Tom Collins:
1) You start with 2 oz. of a good gin. (I like Tanqueray, or Bombay Sapphire.)
2) Add 1 oz. of freshly squeezed lemon juice, and 1 oz. of simple syrup. You shake this over 1 cup of ice, then pour it into an 8 oz. glass filled with fresh ice.
3) Then you finish it with 2 oz. of chilled club soda. And add a slice of lemon as a garnish.
A French 75 is exactly the same, except that in step 3 you add chilled Brut champagne instead of club soda.
So why is it called a French 75? According to legend, the French army in WWI had an artillery piece which fired 75mm shells, each weighing from 12-15 lbs. It had such a vicious recoil, that it was said to be as dangerous to the gun crew as it was to the Germans. The French 75 cocktail has the same kick.
That sounds quite good.Interesting thread. Has anyone here ever heard of a French 75? It's my favorite summer drink. And very similar to a Tom Collins:

Can confirm! I don't recall precisely though I think the recipe we had at a recent event was slightly different, however it was definitely a French 75 served at the cocktail and wine bar. And it was indeed quite strong, a true example of enjoying it strictly in moderation. I was not aware of the origin of the name though, quite the fascinating metaphor I must say.That sounds quite good.
