Drinks for people who hate the taste of alcohol.

[eleanor]

[font=trebuchet ms] I remember a thread about alcoholic drinks, I'm assuming this is ok.

I really hate the taste of alcohol. Whenever I take shots I hold my nose until like ten seconds after I've downed the thing, and I still get the urge to throw up. Screwdrivers are bearable, but I hold my nose when I drink those too. I also find flavored vodka like Smirnoff pretty disgusting, too.

Except I enjoy getting drunk, so I'm trying to find alcoholic drinks that taste good. I've heard of midori sour, which sounds good and relatively simple to make. Does anyone else have recs? (remember I'm a relatively poor college student)[/font]

You should be drinking Natural Light if you are a REAL poor college student :shifty:

My reccomendation is if you're just wanting to get drunk, learn to take double shots. BUT if its something flavorful you want to sip on you oughta try whiskey sours, mojito's, mai tai's, they're all good drinks to sip on but have pretty good alcohol content.

There's also jungle juice if you get some everclear, soak some fruit in it.

My personal favorite drink to get that quick buzz is a long island ice tea (always ask for the top shelf liquours though.) its pretty storng tasting, but will do the job.

[quote name='Lunox][font=trebuchet ms'] I remember a thread about alcoholic drinks, I'm assuming this is ok. [/font][/quote]I certainly don't see any harm in it. Unfortunately, I don't drink so I don't have any suggestions for you. I do agree that the taste is horrid though. The few times I've had it... ugh. The smell is enough to nail you too, at least for some stuff. o_O

Chasing your shots doesn't work?

I'm in a similar position, but I'm lucky in that I have low tolerance, so while I do have to drink fast to get buzzed, it only takes about the equivalent of three beers. Being in Japan right now, pretty much all I drink is delicious [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ch%C5%ABhai][U]chu-hai[/U][/url] goodness.

If you don't like Screwdrivers, you probably won't like Salty Dogs either (I'm a fan of both)... but have you ever tried one? There's a drink called Cassis Orange or something that's also pretty good.

[FONT="Comic Sans MS"][COLOR="Navy"]I like coke and rum, and shots but I'm mostly a wine drinker I so don't really know, you could try wine coolers if your looking for taste granted it would take alot of them to get you drunk depending on your tolerance but its something to think about. Also like Dagger suggested, try chasing your shots with something that tastes alittle better to you?[/COLOR][/FONT]

[Lunar]

[COLOR="Blue"]Um, considering the fact that I'm a minor, I really am clueless about alcohol. I've accidently tasted a beer once, I thought it was Pepsi. :animeswea You could try winecoolers, I've never tasted one, but they do look alot like Kool-Aide and considering the fact that they have alcohol in them, they may be really good! When I get of age, I plan to indulge on red wine. Hope that helped..........but you are probably advised[U] [I][B]not[/B][/I] [/U]to take advice from a teenager.:animedepr Question: why would someone want to get drunk?:confused:[/COLOR]

[Vicky]

[size=1]My only suggestion is go for things less alcoholic. If you don't like the taste of alcohol, cider, beers and spirits are probably a no-no. But there's quite a few drinks that don't taste alcoholic at all, maybe a few alcopops (WKD and Breezer comes to mind). The only problem is you'll probably still be sat there trying to get drunk whilst your friends have their faces on the table.

I think it really depends on the drink. There's a place that does about a million different shots and some of them don't taste alcoholic at all. Mostly I find that shots with fruits in them, strong tasting fruits, don't have that errie alcoholic after taste. Anything with Apple Sour in it, in my experience, doesn't taste too nasty. I'd personally go for watering things down... rum and coke can taste just like weird coke if you mix it correctly.

If it really becomes an issue of taste, you should trying doing vodka shots in your eye. Then you don't have to taste it at all![/size]

[font=trebuchet ms] Hm, I mean it does work but it's mostly just taking the shot that makes me really nauseous. But I actually think Salty Dogs might be good, since grapefruit juice is so acidic... or at least it'd be better than a screwdriver. [/font]

[font=trebuchet ms] It's fun. [/font]

[OMNOMNOMALY]

[FONT="Garamond"]It is indeed fun..

Let's see... there are some drinks that you can also have just as shots. Porn Stars are good and really tasty - they are just raspberry sourpuss and blue curacao, and if you want the drink, it's with sprite. It's like juice. I think I had 7 one night. Which in retrospect seems like a lot. Wow. Haha. Umm.. Candied Apples are also really good, can't remember what's in them... Van Gogh is one of the best shots I've ever had - it tastes like a cappuccino for goodness sakes! I definitely recommend it, though I had it at the bar so I have no idea how to make it. Sex on the Beach is really really good as well, but again it's something you'd have to look up how to make. Those are the most delicious, least alcohol-y tasting shots I can think of for the moment.[/FONT]

[FONT="Tahoma"][COLOR="DimGray"]Man up. lol

If you really can't stand the taste of alcohol then Bacardi Breezers would be good for you. It's rum-based but it's only 5% alcohol (4% in the States) so you can't even taste it. And it requires zero preparation!

[center][img]http://www.thedrinkshop.com/images/products/main/410/410.jpg[/img][/center]

The nice thing about breezers is the sheer amount of flavours to choose from. There's lemon, pineapple, apple, ruby grapefruit, lime, orange, watermelon, cranberry, coconut, raspberry, blueberry, pomegranate, and mango. If there isn't a flavour there that appeals to you then I'm afraid you're a lost cause.

As for me I'll just stick with beer.[/COLOR][/FONT]

Ok seriously, I can't help with drinks, because I'm not an alky sort of guy. I do have champagne on occasion (New Years), but I don't like the taste either. Beers smell nasty...why the hell would I want to drink one? I guess if you do a lot of fruity stuff with your drinks or something, it might help. My friend always drinks Bacardi's and Smirnoff's that are flavored...and she says it tastes like Kool-Aid.[/FONT]

[FONT="Garamond"]Ohhhhhh Korey
you're so mature =P haha but there really was no avoiding it. Stupid name. D:

Oh, Vodka slimes are also good. And there are some excellent coolers out there, that is true. There is one dragonfruit and raspberry, I think, and it is so so delicious. Ciders are also really nice and they also come in a lot of fruit flavours.[/FONT]

[Raiha]

[COLOR="DarkOrchid"][FONT="Times New Roman"]Drink Jaegermeister and Red Bull, aka the Jaegerbomb. It'll be sweet and cloying and pack a punch but you won't notice until it's too late. Plus you'll get the energy drink spike.

OR

Mix rum with coke and drink it with a lot of ice. There are several good possibilities, i.e. the grenadine mixer, or the Adios Mother Fcker. Appletinis, Long Island Iced tea, Midori Sours, anything mixed with sours is generally good.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[Drizzt Do'urden]

I can't believe I forgot this, I'm not sure where you are from. But there's a drink made in Korea (I think its possible to get it, though I know you can't in the states) called Soju. Its the most tastless thing you can ever drink, a glass of Soju with just a teaspoon of something sweet like kool-aid or fruit juice and it tastes like you are drinking a glass of whatever you added, plus the kick is amazing. 4 or 5 of those and you'll be gone, and I mean GONE.

Would anyone be able to tell me ifyou can get it outside of the states? (U.K. residents and the such?)

[quote] Why would anyone want to get drunk? [/quote]

I'd have to say I always wondered that. If you keep it in moderation (I only get drunk every couple of drill weekends, and when I go TDY) its a blast. I kind've think it would get old if you did it all the time, but the buzz is the real best thing. When you get that warm feeling in your face.

[size=1]I'd have the check it out, but you should have no trouble getting that, depending on the percentage, in shops in the UK like Selfridges or all the posh places that do imports. Tescos might do it. Then again, if it's something like the way Absinthe is treated then... try under the counter =p. You can find some shops around that, if you complain enough, will pull out something you can't find anywhere for a nice price.

(Or try any Polish places - where do you live? - because my grandad used to have a massive load of Polish vodkas and other assorted drinks and they're very, very strong most of the time, not sold in run of the mill booze shops, bars or supermarkets).[/size]

[Ol' Fighter]

This is advise from an actual alcoholic and that advise is to get a gallon of milk, whatever type of drink you can afford, and chocolate syrup, although this is optional.

1) Pour glass of milk in a cup and fill up the cup to about 2/3...

2) Fill the remaining 1/3 with the drink...

3) Mix it of course to let the drink and milk become one...zzeenn it...

4) Taste it and if you like it the way it is enjoy but if not add a little chocolate syrup to make chocolate milk (my girlfriend loves it; I think it's too sweet).

There's my lil' contribution.

[size=1]Can you [i]imagine[/i] throwing that up? =p

Seriously, milk twists your stomach with alcohol I think. I had about a sip of milk when I was hung over and I threw it all back up (in a plastic bag on the bus!). I never throw up when hung over, except when I've drank milk with the beer/remaining beer.[/size]

[font=trebuchet ms] I'm Korean, so we actually have soju at home. I have had it before, and yes...it is a good alternative. I forgot about it, though, thanks for bringing it up.

You can get it at any international market, just try and find one that sells Korean food.

But I'll second the question, but I'm wondering if I can get it any western store...[/font]

[FONT="Franklin Gothic Medium"]Isn't it like a Cardinal Rule of drinking NOT to add milk with anything or to chase it down with anything?

I've heard of people chasing down Vodka with Orange juice and other things (chocolate syrup). Maybe if you do a little something something like putting orange soda with vodka, it'd taste a little better for you. Then again, I'm not an alcoholic, nor do I drink casually.[/FONT]

Yeah, it's not a drink for everyone but I LOVE IT! Oh, and I threw it up once, looked exactly like cream cheese mixed with lil' brown chunks.

And Vicky, never mix beer with like, anything it will rob you of your previous meal.

Yeah, girly drinks are nice. :P Unless you're a straight guy that's worried about his masculinity lol. (I also like girly drinks, so I'll try to recommend some.)

Well, my friends who have gotten drunk on this always end up sick for some reason. But they like gin and tonics, although sometimes they don't put enough lime juice in and it tastes too much like gin. I don't like too much lime though, so I don't know if you like a lot of lime either.

A lot of the clear liquors are usually pretty good. I'll ask around and report back. ^^

[COLOR="DarkOrchid"][FONT="Times New Roman"]Stay away from mojitos. The taste of the mint will clear your sinuses about as effectively as wasabi, but with added bonus of getting blasted out of your pew. I don't recommend baiju, the Chinese rice wine because while tasty, will also drop you to your knees howling at the moon.

However if you're in the Phillipines, tuba is pretty good. Yes. It's called tuba. I don't know why. It's a palm wine and it's pretty yummo.

Do not put milk near anything you're drinking. But beer before liquor you'll never be sicker.[/FONT][/COLOR]

white russians are delicious

kaluha
vodka
milk or cream

Just don't drink too many or you'll decorate your home with vomit.

And it actually doesn't matter what order you drink beer or liquor in, thats just an old wives tale.

[COLOR="DarkOrchid"][FONT="Times New Roman"]For those of an asian extraction? Drinking things that contain lactose is like someone with a peanut allergy binging on Nutter Butters. We tend to be slightly lactose sensitive to full blown intolerant, which will give you a whole host of other problems.

Additionally that whole beer and liquor thing has a general basis in pacing, but for that you'd need self control. And since we're all juvenile creatures, I'll just remind you. If you're lactose sensitive, don't put milk in your body regardless of how good it is with vodka and creme.[/FONT][/COLOR]
