I love the stuff. I look forward to the holidays every year because of this tasty treat.
When I was a kid, my mom used to make us cut it with 50% milk to make the egg nog last longer, but luckily I am no longer bound by such a horrible near-blasphemous action.

I do that too!
I work at Bruster's Ice Cream, and we made our first batch of Eggnog ice cream for the year. I'm soo excited - it is SO good.
Yeah, sorry, don't know why it was working, just edited it and linked to the original page.
I like to dilute mine with Sprite. Tradition, I guess, since that's what the family's done for as long as I remember. Except I do more sprite than nog (maybe 60-40 or 70-30) and then top it with nutmeg. Tastes good to me!
I have to concur with the others that it has to be a good brand, though. I'm hard pressed to find a good lower fat brand.
Egg Nog...YUM! Your right it is bad for you, but you have to enjoy yourself a little this time of the year!
Just got back from Costco. You guessed it! ...They were sampling egg nog.
I thought about this thread and convinced myself to give it a second chance.
Yup, still nasty.

Ditto. As they say in Mad Magazine, "Bleeechh!"
I'll take a Guinness, or a Sam Adams Cream Stout.
Hmm... ginger ale, eh? Sounds too daring for me.
And no ice cream. That would just be too rich.
Non-Alcoholic eggnog is one of my favorite things about the christmas holidays.
Me too, I can't resist having two glasses a day, even though I feel like crap afterwards.

so what's your favorite alcoholic drink then?
helllllllz YES
NOTES: Hood "golden egg nog" is the best here in the states. I generally cut mine with a bit of skim milk... or rum... usually skim milk. I'm not sure what I like about it so much, but I'm pretty sure it's the nog. And crack.
I just tried the Southern Comfort brand of egg nog. More carmelly than the others I've tried, but good.
I sometimes will get the carton from the store, but in all honesty I like making my own. It's super easy to make, just warm milk, sugar, eggs, cinnamon, and nutmeg for a good start.
Every Christmas my uncle makes a 15 gallon batch of his specialty egg nog that he dishes out at his Christmas party. It's thick almost like a custard and it has a meringue like topping over it. Quite possibly the most fattening substance I've ever eaten, but the stuff is cherished by all who have eaten it. My family has fought over a single cup of the stuff.

ZOMG! WTF is wrong with me?!? I forgot to get Egg Nog and it's now Thanksgiving.
I buy some on sale tomorrow then. Think there are going to be any huge "Black Friday" sales on Hood Golden Egg Nog? I'm ready to throw-down and K.O. some little old lady in a Wal-Mart for some.

We had an egg nog taste test between Land O'Lakes, Southern Comfort, and a Farm Brand. Land O'Lakes won with a unanimous decision.
When I get around to it I'll do a egg nog and Vernor's mix and see where that takes me.

I'm a drinker, man...but there's only one drink I don't like...Egg Nog. How did they think that up? "I want to get a little drunk, but I also want some pancakes." Do you know what Egg Nog really is? You're not gonna want to hear it but I'll tell you...ELF CUM! That's what it is! You might as well pour it on your back and slap yourself on the ass. - Dave Attell
