Gin and tonic is so fuckin good!

Few months ago I wouldn't think I'd ever drink this! Dylan Moran said that 'gin isn't even a drink, it's a mascara thinner!' and to drink it 'you have to be female, 45, and sitting on the stairs!'. But it's soooo good! Tastes great, goes down smooth, and before you realize it, you're blitzed! I stayed home tonight trying to study/write some paper about something, started drinking to ease me up, one glass turned into 6, and now I'm pretty drunk! It'd be a shame to quit now! I'm out of ice, almost out of tonic, and my gin is disappearing quickly! But alcoholism always finds a way!  It's been a while since I posted in the Pub, how's everyone this fine night/afternoon/morning?
 Best drink ever!

Gin and tonic is heavenly. Fuck the naysayers.
When I drink these I inevitably end up chasing pussy and/or narcotics.

Nice! I kinda thought gin and tonic is looked down upon, and I'd be made fun off for drinking it! I would have made fun of anyone drinking it a few months ago! But yeah, it's awesome, I'm just bummed I haven't tried it sooner, it's my favorite drink by far and I've drank almost everything in the past! Damn, I forgot the citrus! I don't have lime, but lemon would work just fine. Oh well... I must admit I haven't heard of Sapphire, gin in the picture is the cheapest possible and still pretty good, I plan to treat myself with a bottle of Beefeater soon...

I have a buddy who catches shit for drinking White Russians in a bar.
He gets the last laugh when he goes home with somebody's girlfriend. He has the social skills of a ham sandwich, so date rape aside, I'm not sure how he does it.

Gin and Tonics are great. I used to hate gin because I like my liquor on the rocks and I just can't drink gin that way. Then a friend made me a gin and tonic and insisted that I try it. I've loved them ever since.

Has anyone here drank Beefeater gin? It's like the best, most famous English gin? I just checked the website of this store, they have Bombay Sapphire and Beefeater. Which do you gin-drinkers suggest I buy? They're like 3 times more expensive than the one I'm drinking now, but I want to try them. I'm on my last glass now, I'll call it quits, but I must admit I feel sooo good right now!

One shot is close to one beer. A frined of mine thought drinking liquor would be the answer, nope. You also have to look at what you are mixing it with.

I prefer Tanqueray to either of them, but of the two, Bombay Sapphire is better.

Gin and tonic is simply sublime. My friends and I drink at lot and all of us are under 45 years and many of them are male. I associate "chick" drinks to usually liquors such as Malibu (which are in fact to sweet for me). I'm fan of the distillery whisky and gin  Also it's good when you wake up hungover yet your mouth tastes like flowers hehehe.

Haha you're absolutely right! I'm a fan of Jack Daniels, but to enjoy, not to get drunk of. Of mixed drinks I can drink a lot of, gin&tonic takes the gold, by far. Beer hangovers are usually the worst for me. I'll see how will this one be tommorow!  Where I'm from gin&tonic isn't very popular, but I'll make it my mission to spread it around!

Hell yea. I rather a martini though most of the time as the tonic is too much filler I like slowly sipping on the nectar nothing much inbetween besides a splash of vermouth and maybe some olive juice depending on the gin. bombay is good. Tang is good for tonics and that is about it IMO. Boodles is not bad either.

i dont really enjoy the taste of Jack Daniels...makes my throat scratchy. i dont enjoy whiskeys for the taste unless it's a rare, fine, small batch aged whiskey. I never drink it to get drunk since the only time Ill even drink it is if its the good stuff. Cheap whiskey IMO is nasty.
Ill drink cheap gin though. Im not about seagram's extra dry gin or dimitri.

Yeah, cheap whiskey is disgusting! I even had some really good whiskey from Scottish distilleries, but nothing beats sour mash! Jack Daniels just has that special taste and smell I'm used to, but it's best in quantities of one whiskey glass (on the rocks) and no more. This gin in my picture is equivalent of $10 for 1 liter (~1 quart), it's the cheapest gin here (because it's locally produced). Beefeater and Sapphire are ~$30, how much are they in the States?

Urgh I can't understand whiskey/bourbon + coke. I think it's sickening, also like ruining the whiskey/bourbon and the coke, come to think of it I actually don't like coke with any alcoholic beverages.
If I don't feel like drinking the whiskey pure I'll probably just mix with some red-bull. It tastes great.

Still has sugar though... It has to. Quinine is one of the most bitter substances known to man!
I like a lot of the more modern styles of gin. Gin is really making a come back with a lot of newer brands becoming popular. The juniper note, in particular, is getting pushed to the background in a lot of new gins.

Gin and tonic is probably the only mixed beverage originally invented to make the non-alcoholic part easier to drink... One thing I found about it is that hangovers aren't even that bad for me. Especially compared to beer.

I find this with hard liquor in general.
Beer and wine can give me a hangover after 1 or 2 glasses if I haven't been drinking them regularly.

Hardly, it's more like original tonics. Bitter is good. He decided to make this because he was sick of the shit tonic with all the sugar. He brews with the bark. A little goes a long way, you add club soda to make up the volume.

If I don't feel like drinking the whiskey pure I'll probably just mix with some red-bull. It tastes great.
Different strokes I guess. I love the way that good bourbon/sour mash mixes with coke. You get that nice whiskey taste without the bite. I don't like drinking liquor straight though unless its nice Scotch or something. And my general rule is that the mixer should be darker than the liquor

It is impossible. We live, as we dream--alone. It's legs to walk and thoughts to fly Eyes that laugh and lips that cry A restless tongue to classify, All born to grow and grown to die
