I get bourbon and whiskey confused all the time. One's from Kentucky, one aint. I stand corrected.
I agree for a low-shelf vodka, Smirnoff is certainly better than Skyy or Absolut. That Skyy almost made me hork after one sip.
I guess its because im a shot kind of guy, and Smirnoff tastes great going down. Its sort of an aquired taste of sorts. My dad thought i was nuts for drinking Jack as my 1st alcoholic beverage.
I kinda wish I had aquired a taste for beer before trying liquor, because now I cant drink beer. Its gross to me. Which means im SOL when it comes to parties because liquor is generally in short supply.
Not that I drink of course, seeing as that would be highly illegal.
Beer IS disgusting. I don't care what it is or where it's from. Beer is nasty.
Well yeah, all the ones Ive tried. And I try any beer someone throws at me, at least once, because hey, this one could be different! Wrong! They all taste the same. All blonde beers are gross.
I still havent tried Guinness though. I really really want to. I'm hoping it will change my perspective on beer in general. If not my good friends Jack, Morgan, Goose, Jim, and Abby will always be there.

American Beer IS disgusting. I don't care what it is or where it's from. Beer brewed in the USA is nasty.
Guinness might make you throw up in your mouth. Dark beers taste like fermented coffee and are very heavy. I've learned this about beer, the more you pay, the nastier it usually tastes.![]()
There. Fixed.

What international beers would you suggest?
My roommate is slowly making me into a wine-o. He has introduced me to a number of fine Red Wines. While I think my favorite has been the Shiraz (apparently 2005 was a very good year for the California wine makers) he has introduced me to a number of Cabs and Merlot's. Last night we had a nice bottle of Chianti with dinner.

Try some whites as well. Chenin blanc, pinot blanc, sauvingnon blanc are all excellent. If you can get your hands on a French Chablis, do that as well. It's expensive, but worth every penny.

Riesling. Moscato. Best whites money can buy. Moscato is a bit harder to come by, but Riesling is pretty popular.
I like certain dry Rieslings. Both of those wines can tend to be too sweet for me though.
Not a fan at all of sweet white wine...much prefer dry reds. Had a great time sampling different wines living in France last year. Someone poured me a glass of mind-blowingly delicious red once that kind of made me realize that wine connoisseurs weren't just BS'ing. Found out after that it was 20 years old and 800/bottle.![]()
