Today's FLAME FEST: Beer vs Spirits vs Wine

[yvr girl]

Spirits rule! There's a huge variety. You don't need to consume a huge volume. You spend less time in the washroom.

Beer is for college kids and wine is pretentious.

1. You're clearly a moron.

Beer is for early afternoon and late night. Wine is for lunch and dinner -- unless it's Champagne, then it's for breakfast. Spirits are for before- and after-dinner cocktails.

No alcohol other than Champagne or Bloody Marys is appropriate to drink between sunrise and noon -- unless you haven't yet gone to sleep, in which case all bets are off.

These are the ironclad rules of drinking. They must never be broken. Unless you just want to get blotto, then do what thou wilt.

6. Oh, please!

No alcohol other than Champagne or Bloody Marys between sunrise and noon? Where'd you learn to drink? Double shot of Baileys in a cup of coffee, moran - it's the only way to start the day. What an elitist!

11. "Gin: It's what's for breakfast"

The Brisith built an empite on pre-elevenses gin, and lost it when they stopped.

15. Bailey's in coffee falls under the wine cooler clause:

Something invented by liquor company executives to help their teenage sons get laid. You know, by making teenage girls drunk.

[skygazer]

19. Yes, I know so many teenage girls who can't function without

their morning Bailey's. You, sir, are talking out your ass!

[kick-ass-bob]

8. you are clearly the alcohol master.

I bow to you.

9. Hedges, you spelled moran wrong.

2. Hey, I like wine!

Who are you to go insulting my wine-liking, HUH?!? :)

I like cheap box wine, too... LOL

[yvr girl]

4. You have to throw some insults if you want to start a Flame Fest

duh.

[LynzM]

13. Yeah, I know

I'm just bad at the whole flame-fest thing, in general. I tend to avoid them like the plague, or try to calm them back down. Meh.

[StopTheMorans]

3. i never constrain my drinking with rules, so i go with whatever is at hand

and cheap.

[GOPisEvil]

5. Depends on location and the event and mood of the imbiber..

Sometimes, such as at a Mexican restaurant, a margarita is called for; sometimes a beer.

At a sporting event, beer.

Having a nice dinner party? Perhaps wine.

But for high quality boozing, spirits are better. You can adjust the flavoring to something you like, and get hammered quickly.

[Midlodemocrat]

7. Wine from a box is so not pretentious.

[tjwmason]

10. Beer limited to college kids?

I bet you're not even talking about real beer, but nasty chilled fizzy cat's urine (alias lager).

**Edit for spelling.

[yvr girl]

17. Never been able to get over the urine smell

[Aristus]

12. I'm a big-tent kind of guy; I'll take them all!

Wine: A good Chilean red, ca. 2003.
Beer: Alaskan Amber.
Spirits: Cutty Sark blended whiskey.

[skygazer]

16. Oh, God, another elitist!

Wine - a big jug of Paisano you can toss over your shoulder and drink from the bottle.

Beer - Whatever's cheapest - after the first 12, you don't taste 'em anyway.

Spirits - same thing

(I'll turn this into a flamefest if it kills me)

[Aristus]

18. Yep, I'm an elitist. Here, have another drink; you'll like me a lot

better after a few more........ :+

14. Beer anytime!! Perhaps the most versatile beverage EVER!

Pick a good, malty doppelbock or stout for breakfast. It's like cereal in a bottle.

Drop a nice adjunct lager with lunch, or maybe a crisp and citrusy weizen.

Dinner would be a good time to break out the saisons or the porters. Maybe a nice fruit lambic for a dessert beer.

Beer. Is there anything it can't do?

[Blue-Jay]

20. No flames here. They're *all* good!

[yvr girl]

22. Get off the fence!

[Arkana]

23. Beer.
