Pembleton said:This thread should come with a number for AA.
Beer: Boags Premium. So much better than the standard domestic stuff, and only about $8 extra a slab at Dan Murphy's. If only standrad stuff is available, Carlton Draught.
Spirits: Scotch, Glenfiddich if finances permit, Johnnie Walker red if not. Green Chatruese for shots. 1 and a third bottles of Vodka with Rocco Jones is also pretty cool
There should be a lolly drink category for the teenyboppers!
Lolly Drink: Lemon Ruski

Anyway, we'll forget wines cause i don't drink them, and really dislike all that are put in front of me.
Favourite beers when drinking for a night out with the boys:
1) Tooheys New : the all encompassing beer. Nice refreshing taste, not too bad of a hangover generally, and doesn't make the gut swell up. Definetaly my fave of the "cheap" beers.
2) Carlton Draught : Basically the same as TN, but it's just a personal preference of mine for Tooheys New for no particular reason.
3) Tooheys Pils : Only comes in bottles, but for sure the best beer to grab and sit around the barbie drinking with. Plus i like looking like a complete dork by taking the sticker off and putting it on my arm
Other beers:
:: VB is acceptable, but does give me a rotten hang over for some reason. Can't really taste the difference between New, Draught or VB but VB gives me a HO.
:: Tooheys Extra Dry is nice, but the little extra cost means it only really gets the gig when going somewhere good like a formal or a 21st night out or something like that.
:: Melbourne Bitter is the traditional longie beer for me and my mates. There is an unwritten rule that any travelling by bus, car, foot, train, cab (basically any travel) that is going to last more than 10 minutes should always be accompanied by a longneck of MB unless it is not available.
Favourite beers i like drinking when i've just worked 10 hours and need to sit down to something REALLY REALLY nice, but can't afford to drink on big nights out:
1) James Squire Pilsener : awesome awesome beer. love the real full body flavour you get. It is just simply brilliant on tap or in a bottle, but obviousbly on tap is the preffered method, as with all beers.
2) James Boags Premium : such a crisp taste, it almost feels like you've got a soft drink in your hand it goes down so well.
3) Hahn Premium : brilliant brew. Much like JBP i reckon, but doesn't quite make your mouth tingle as much. Still a great drop, but i do reckon it's one of those strange brews that is better in a bottle than on top.
Other beers:
:: The entire James Squire range is all good. Love the textures, the flavours and the variety. It's all brilliant.
:: Guiness is fantastic and just love the thickness of it, but really can't get through anymore than a pint otherwise i feel like i've just had dinner.
:: Kilkenny is like Guinness on a lesser scale. I like it, but not quite as much as the old Guinness. Much easier to drink though cause it's not as thick.
:: Stella Artois is brilliant, and tastes very australian i reckon. City of City RSL is selling this for $3.80 a pint and has been for quite a while. Absolutely unreal deal. VB, TN and CD are $3.50 a pint there so i don't mind paying the extra 30c for a superb beer. Your lucky to find a schooner of local beer in the city for $3.80 let alone a pint of imported beer, let alone a pint of quality imported beer.
:: Heineken is an ok beer. Very overrated, but not something i'm gonna knock back. Paddy Maguires in the city, a pub around the corner from my work (and the centre of my social life for when i'm drinking with both friends and/or workmates), is currently selling it for $5 a pint so it represents the cheapest full strength beer there (VB, CD and TN sells for $5.50 a pint). This deal lasts for the month of December.
:: Steinlager is very bitter, but i like it. When i first started my job about a year ago Paddys was selling it for $4 a pint. Was hard to get used to at first, but i quickly become accustomed to it - how could you not?. About 3 months ago they upped it to $5 and then in the last few weeks to $6.50, so it's now off the agenda. Ohhh the memories though! i've had some of the biggest nights of my life on this stuff.
:: Redback is top stuff, and i like the lemon in the beer to give it a new taste. Sells cheap at another pub near my work (the Chamberlain hotel) so it's probably the value for money beer at the Chambo ($5 a pint, while VB, TN and CD sell for $3.80 a schooner), but generally it's quite expensive elsewhere.
Spirits have been off my agenda lately due to budget but when we get ourselves to the Pavillion Hotel i let loose. It's just about the biggest ********hole in all of the world, but at $2.50 a shot on Thursday nights between 5pm and 4am i don't mind getting in there, get 8 drinks for $20 and leave 30 minutes later.
Favourite Spirits - never worried about spirit prices as pubs and clubs pretty much charge the exact same for each spirit on their list (as mentioned you can get them for $2.50 at the Pav, around $3.50-$4 at leagues clubs and rsl clubs, and around $6-$7 at most pubs in Sydney):
1) Jack Daniels : this is my all time favourite spirit, and must be appreciated with nothing more than a dash of coke (or even no coke). Given i dislike starting on spirits, but sometimes if your a little behind the group and need a quick catch up a common drink i use is a half-nip of JD with 15ml's of coke. That way you don't get the full on JD taste in your mouth (once it's in there you can't drink anything else - it's just too good) while you can finish the drink within seconds and get your first schooner/pint under your belt.
2) Jim Beam : like JD but not something that is enjoyable without the glass being full of coke for me. Will drink if there's no JD and not complain but do prefer the JD.
3) Tequila : how good is this stuff boys and girls
:: Scotch. Love it. Need it. My favourite but generally don't drink it when i'm out because most pubs only have Johnny Walker (bad memory on this drink a couple of times even though i like the taste) and Black Douglas (which is ordinary at best). Most times i have it is when i'm sitting around at home and just want a real nice drink. Chivas Regal is really really nice i reckon and is usually the one sitting around in the cupboard. Jamiesons (an irish whiskey that is the exact same as scotch but isn't from scotland) is really good, and even better. The best i've ever had is a single malt one that i can't remember the name of. It sells a pub near me for about 80 dollars a bottle but is worth every cent. The name just escapes me though. They have a few others that sell for even more, but i've never had a chance to taste them and don't have the money too buy them.
