Hey guys...i'm turning 21 on this Saturday, March 15th....what are your thoughts on what type of drinks to try out (it is all paid for all night long, so no price limit, goin to different bars around town, and a limo) and what should I buy as my first bottle of alcohol?!?! I'm looking forward to being able to discuss some more of these spirits with you guys!!
 
Go for the south of the border stuff, TEQUILA. Don Julio is available at most bars. Try each flavor - Blanco, Resopado, and Anejo to develop your pallete.

If that is not your cup o' tea, stick with a classic. Tanquerey and Tonic w/ a twist of lime
 
My dad has to do a lot of overseas and south of the border business trips and we have some really fine single malt irish whiskeys as well as tequila's from business partners in other countries. While he was in mexico the last time he was promoted while at a dinner with the owner of Don Julio and got a bottle from him...
 
First drink should be a 3 wiseman; Three types of whiskey; Jim Beam, Jack Daniels and Old Grand Dad. Served chilled up. A great way to start. It was my first legal drink; and it was a good one.

One to forget: Jameson. Man that turned my stomach after I had the three wisemen.

thats what i did... but mine was Jim, Jack, an Johnny (walker)

then it was a starry night... 1/2 Jaggermiester 1/2 goldschlogger. (as a shot)
sounds bad... tastes great.
 
I think anything that has jager mixed in it sounds bad, but ends up tasting REALLY good
 
Dude, I would not worry about any quality libations on your 21st birthday. Chances are you will not remember what the hell you drank, you will not enjoy it, especially when it comes back up the rest of the night. Just stick with beer and save the spirits for another day.
 
I wasn't more or less asking for quality, just good drinks, because I'm not doing shots, i'm just doing drinks...i'm not a huge drinker anyway, so i'm just goin out to have some fun, i'm not all about drink till you puke and what not, i'm responsible about it.
 
Well, good luck to you. When I read that you got a limo and you are going to different bars around town, I guess I just figured a few shots at each bar= sickness. Its actually nice to know that there are responsible 21 year olds still around. Have fun! Make sure you take pics, and tell all the older women its your 21st b-day. Older women LOVE young dudes! :lol:
 
LOL, love that last line there....yea, my bro is the huge drinker who drinks to get passed out every weekend, not me, i like to appreciate flavors and stuff, which is why i got into cigars with my dad and he didn't, he just smokes when he drinks, some say "for the buzz"...thanks man, and i'll be sure to take pics...my dad's gf got us the limo so my dad can drink with us and she doesn't have to worry about anybody driving...i'll post an update on sunday and let you all know how it went

At 21 shots are important, don't forget it is your obligation to drink whatever is in front of you :lol:
 
hahaha, i had a bad experience 2 weeks ago with shots and mixed drinks...either i'm doing beer/mixed drinks or shots and then drinking water/pop in between....not both, lol

You say that now..... :lol:
 
haha, very good point, it's all about what i say before i have the drinks in me, then i'm find to do whatever, but if i say i'm going to do whatever beforehand, then i scare myself, lol
 
You can plan anything you want, but you are done whenever people at the bar find out that it is your 21st B-day. I only bought one drink the entire night, because I demanded that I was able to buy at least one beer. (I did end up passed out around the porcelein throne)
 
Ok Bro, how did you do on Saturday. Tell us the story; if you can remeber it. :lol:
