    Absinthe is the way fowards. 75% + strength.

    EDIT: lol already mentioned

    The other night (funnily enough, the night that you posted a "I am drunk" thread that the mods kept closing ) I had a cocktail with 3 shots of absynth, 1 ameretto, quite appropriatly named the "Harold Shipman".

    Absinthe is great on fire too.

    Tequila or Sambuca would do the trick if you drink enough. Tequila slammer, salt - tequila - lemon are easy to drink aswell.

    Money isnt the question with absynthe, its if you can get it. I get it from Ireland but its illegal to sell it in the UK. Dunno bout the US though.

    Don't know what the jamessomething whiskey is, only J's i know are Jack, Jim and Johnny. Of which Jim's nicest but Johnny will probably get you more drunk.




    Drive carefully people, this broken leg was not worth it!

    It's not illegal in the UK is it? I've never heard that before.

    If you drink enough its meant to be halluecegenic too !

    I've checked the wiki on it

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absinthe

    Apparently its got a rather long winded "yes it is illegal" in the US.

    I dont think it is illegal in the UK

    Absinthe has remained legal in the UK. There are many stories trying to explain why absinthe was not banned. The most likely explanation is that absinthe was a high class drink in the UK. In the UK Absinthe was not associated with the working class or down and outs rebelling so no one saw the need to ban it.
    Found on google.

    Sounds good stuff

    Looks to be a bit expensive, This has it at a minimum of £20 for a 50cl bottle

    Hmm, I believe in the UK it has been illegal in the past, due to the toxic wormwood in it, but the EU now monitors the amount of toxins in it and it is now legal again, although very difficult to get hold of.

    A favourite of mine is a shot that has vodka and mint schnapps, 50/50. I don't know if it has an English name, but in Finnish its called "Niskalaukaus", which means "Neckshot", as in when people are excecuted with a bullet in the neck/back of the head.

    Very nice shot.

    EDIT: and another exotic Finnish speciality is tar schnapps! Delicious.

    Now that is a great brand. It doesn't hit you as badly as Glenfiddich.

    @ Sel

    You should try some Cointreau. Not sure where you would get it from though.

    That passion usually starts in the early teen years.

    You sound like a pretty seasoned drinker. When I first started it was whisky, Cointreau, brandy, sherry and something else.

    Yeah, sad isn't it. Here it starts around the age of 13-14.

    Navy Rum - 75%, or my personal favorite from the Dominican Republic is Brugal, also 75%. It is very sweet and mixes quite well with sodie pops.
