In Sweden we have the "Systembolaget" that regulates all alcohol trade over 3,5 % volume.
Prices are very high on alcohol in Sweden, since we are alcoholics by tradition :lol: , but that will probably chance soon since our neighbours have lowered the cost on alcohol to the degree that it effects the Swedish budget.

Once a wee bit too much. Never again.

And only on hard drinks. I'm what they call in the sensation industry a "super taster," meaning the bitterness in beer is overwhelming to me, and I can't stand it.

I still have trouble downing any sort of alcohol, but I'll do it in a social setting with good friends. More often than not though my condition makes me the designated driver. Which is not really a problem.

I have to agree with AoM.... beer sucks.

hard drinks and mixed drinks. The kind most of my guy friends call "froofie girly drinks" kick butt.

Sex on the beach, manhattans, long island iced teas, hard lemonades, rum and coke, blowjobs, chocolate deaths..... YUUUUUUUM those are just examples of good alcohol. I also invent my own on a regular basis. ANY drink that you cannot taste the alcohol but get very happy with, is good to me.

Try this one some time.... bicardi rasberry rum, and tropical fruit punch. hehehe.

or.... Whalers vanilla rum and "horchata" a mexican creamy rice milk drink. keep in mind, only whalers brand vanilla rum with that one, or some type of creame liquor, because regular rum sucks with it.

and if your truely desperate, which i have been at times: vodka, mountain dew, and grenadine syrup.

Here it is 16. But even if a 10-year old could buy some in a store or cafe people don't say "no".
They just wanna make money :? ...


That brings up, something I wonder for years...

In america you can drive a car yourself when your 16 and have a license (you can start with 15 1/2)...
You can drink alchohol when your 21....

I think riding a car is more dangerous (for you and others) then drinking... (although combined it is even more dangerous)



thats because America was settled by, and later the government was established by, a bunch of prudish, hard nosed "puritans" and their decendants. (A religious group that was basically kicked out of england.) Alot of old laws such as the drinking law were set in place very long ago, by people who wanted to follow the old puritan ways.

Everyone knows that at some point America tryed to bann alcohol completely. That didnt go over very well.

I am sure my history isnt completely accurate, but studies indicate that those religious groups that settled here had much to do with certain laws in our country.

See, sometimes i am not totally crazy.

Snips edit: you can also die for this country at 18, but can't go buy a beer afer the fightings done. that sucks too.

USA is still very fundamentalistic compared to other Western countries.
But as you pointed out, it's not very strange since all the religious groups that were too extreme in Europe moved over to "the New World"...

it's really bad that the drinking age is so high in the US. it creates problems. because it's illegal, drinking becomes a lot more exciting to teenagers and they tend go and get smashed when they can, or at least some of them. i don't drink myself, but i still thinks it's ridiculous that the government can send you off to fight and die in a war, but you still can't drink alcohol legally. stupid religious right *stabs (all of them)*
DOOM!

Yeah, and since it's as hard to get a hold of beer as it is to get weed most people seem to prefer the later one.
We had some couple of American students in my school and they got drunk as hell of a single six pack of beer, since the had hardly been drinking at all, but they could roll a joint better than anyone.
(yeah, that's a scientific study to prove my argument is correct :wink:)

Ok.. I admit

Ok...

As much as I love my pints of bitter at the pub table, I do love (but keep this quiet...) a nice malibu and coke if I'm at a club (pints take too much skill to not spill if you're drunk and in a busy club...)

Mmmmm....


Malibu and coke...

The absinthe that you can get now adays is nothing like the absinthe that was made illegal - the new ones contain artificial ingredients and don't rot the brain like the original did (I was told this by the guy at the 'absinthe' shop in London)

You can still get the old version, I have a friend that brings it back from prague for another friend, but the new stuff just looks like paint stripper to me (pale blue, instead of lime green).

I love piña coladas, though. I make them a lot. Strawberry daiquiris are good too. Virgin, both of them, of course. :P
