This would require us drunks to remember such a thread exists.


I've never had brandy. One day...

Have you had cognac? Cognac (Hennessy, Remy Martin, Martell, etc.) is just brandy made in a particular region of France, same as bourbon is just corn whiskey made in a particular part of Kentucky.

Brandy = distilled liquor made from fruit wine (grape, apple, peach, whatever).
Whiskey = distilled liquor made from grain beer (barley, wheat, rye, corn, whatever).

Nope. No cognac. I'm not overly refined in my drinking.

Wait...i did have a bit of blackberry brandy when i was in college. My roomy (a GIANT of a man) could drink a 5th and you wouldn't evenn know he'd been drinking. it was amazing and terrifying.

*The more you know*

Someone is bringing me a bottle of 12 year old brandy this weekend as part of a trade. Can't wait!

Sweet man!

Brandy is one of only a couple liquors I can actually tolerate particularly VSOP

So, you like beer and brandy.....this makes sense!

Brandy's alright, but you gotta be careful which one you get. I've had some that just feel ick going down, and some that are all the second it hits the tongue.

But if we're gonna frunk, I shoulda been posting here last night. Good night, not so great morning.

HUNGOVER AS ABLLS

Wife felt worse that me this morning. She was mixing Tequila and Summer Shandy (essentially lemonade + beer). Great sipping, horrible to get drunk on cause there's a shitpile of stuff to cause problems later.

Which she discovered the hard way.

Anyone notice that when drinking and smoking cigars it is an awful combination? Every time be it beer or shine, if I have a cigar, I always feel like shit.

I used to drink brandy a lot... tasty stuff but hellacious hangovers.

Brandy is a pleasant buzz, but if you wanna triple it, drink an ok brandy/cognac with a weak bud or coors. Doesnt work with good beer, must be cheap american beer.

Funny thing is they compliment eachother, so you keep chasing one with the other.
