A shooter or 6 of grey goose, then its usually rum and coke the rest of the time. Since swim ain't 21 however, swim can only go to a few select bars in the area where swim is either friends of employees or well known there.

Enjoying an ice cold Tilt™ Premium Malt Beverage first thing on the weekends is deluxe. They have a "green" flavor that looks alot like antifreeze for you car's radiator--but tastes like a weak margarita. I like these cuz they are packed with caffeine, guarana ginseng and high-fructose corn syrup; all in a 16ounce tall-boy can for a mere .99cents. Sorta like the poor man's speedball, ha! ha! Perfect for taking the edge off and shaking the twitches and jitters from the night before.

It depends what I'm pregaming for. If I'm trying to save money in the club I usually just start with shots, normally vodka or borovicka. If I plan on going the distance though, it's best to warm up with a couple of beers to prepare the stomach :P

A nice glass of fizz is always good for making the flamingo feel all glamorous and gorgeous and girly. Preferably Krug, but if (as is usual) she hasn't just won the lottery, a nice Prosecco serves almost as well. A Kir Royale might do the trick, as well.

In fact, these days, she rarely goes beyond drink number one.

SWIM has always stuck to the mantra, "Beer before liquor, never been sicker - Liquor before beer, you're in the clear."

SWIM has tested it enough times to have faith that it holds fairly true.

If SWIM starts with beer, he sticks to it...

Otherwise, Jamison on the rocks is a delicious way to get the party started a little faster. SWIM tends to avoid most sweet combos - as they lead to narsty hangovers - but he has found that, if he's going to do a mixed drink, he likes a greyhound (vodka-grapefruit juice) or a Jack-and-Ginger Ale.

This is funny, because SWIM always does the opposite. On a quiet night where he doesn't intend to really get drunk, he sticks to beer, but otherwise he starts the night off on a couple of beers, then switches to whiskey. For SWIM the most likely thing to make him throw up is the amount of fluid consumed - ie. lots of beer, so SWIMS method works for him.

Last New Years Eve, SWIM drank lots of beer and threw up, so his new years resolution was to avoid getting drunk off beer .

It really depends on what kind of night SWIM is planning. If it's going to be quiet, respectable affair a nice cold beer, a pint of stout or a glass of rye on the rocks is fine. If it's going to be a wild night of partying and SWIM is trying to catch up with the vibe, he tends to drink a double or a triple of something. Jägermeister is a good one to go for. Or better yet, cheap vodka from the off-license. Saves those pennies.

Swim used to love to start the night off with any spirits! now swim like to stick with a couple o' nice cold stellas..

[static_vodka_420]

currentlly swim would say southern comfort 100 proof

[static_vodka_420]

5 shots of jose cuervo or wild turkey 101 maybe bacardi 151 if swims getting fucked up

[BudGreen18]

triple shot of sambooka shots followed with beer..

[KomodoMK]

A cold pint of Stella for sure... however you have no guarantees you'll get a decent pint of Stella on tap, it could go either way. But even a bad pint of Stella tastes better than the other crap out there like Fosters and Carling, which is nothing more than fizzy piss. Later on in the night after 10 pints or so a southern comfort and lemonade of seven goes down a treat, or any other spirits for that matter.

After this New Year SWIM would say in an ideal world the first drink should be a Knob Creek on the rocks. In the real world he'll drink absolutely anything that isn't poison, even bloody Campari.

[mugwump77]

shot of tequila and a beer. time to get the night started.

In my drinking days I went through a number of phases for diffrent drinks before I went out but it would always be the same objective no matter what I was drinking ' What would get me drunk the fastest.'

I had to switch now and again when I had drank so much of one thing that I couldnt stomach it anymore. Some of the things I would drink are...

Wine. Would normally have a bottle of this to myself, would have to be white, never really got into red. If I finished the bottle before my friends then I would tryand get a few shots of vodka mixed with lime juice down me as well because the wine and the vodka mixed always went straight to my head.

Cider. This was what I would normally buy if money was low. The shop near me always had some offer on 2 for 1 on 2 liter bottles of the stuff so I would drink both of them before I went out.

Vodka. This method would just get my stupidly drunk really but I did it anyway even though nights starting this way would normally end in me waking up somewhere random.. I used to have like a glass of vodka a tall full glass of the stuff and then add like maybe a shot of lime cordial to it and then down it in one. The I would eat something like a bread stick sometimes to stop me feeling sick. God I actually felt kinda sick typing that for just the memory of doing it.

Alchopops. Thought I would add this one it as this is what started it all lol. When I was just starting drinking and going out me and my friends would drink things like a few bacardie breezers or blue wkd, before I moved on to the hard stuff.

Swim has always liked vodka mixes like the 10% kind of stuff.He often drinks an Egyptian brand (he thinks) called I.D Not too strong but you know you've had a drink.

[MartyK]

A pint of the first lager that catches my eye when i walk into the pub/club. Then will have jagerbombs, or cider, or vodkas, or scotch, or whatever takes my fancy. I do love my lager, so alot of the night i will have a pint in my hand.

[static_vodka_420]

presentlly swim would say a 6 pack of budlime and a few shots of moonshine he distilled himself and is very proud of lol
