Miktoxic --- whiskey or beer ?

I have a question for all you booze lovers. Let's pretend that this is back in the prohibition days and alcohol was illegal, would you still drink it and find a way to have your vice anyway or would you conform to the whims of society? Seriously.

PG- here's the deal- in Prohibition, if you had 1\2 ounce of intelligence and ambition, you could have easily made your own booze. It's not that hard. Damn near any fruit or grain is fermentable if you add enough sugar to it, and building a still to get high octane isn't exactly rocket science either, if that's your preference. "Sacramental" wines were legal, so plenty of people found religion to make the trip down to the local church to load up on your 5 gallons of "sacramental" wine. Padre Booze-oh thanked you for your generous contribution to the church coffers.
. But to answer your question- since you apparently happen to like the stuff.
How many people currently smoke pot though it's supposedly "illegal"? Know anyone that "grows their own"? And to take it one step further, how many people die of heroin overdoses every day, though it's not only illegal, but 99% + of the people that use, know not only it's illegal, but one mistake can kill you on top of that?

Hoorta is our go to guy when it comes to wine. Westside Steve when it comes to beer. Atenears when it comes to Margaritas.
On all other subjects where you need expertise, I am the guy. With a few exceptions.
For soccer talk to MLWoody or gft.
For all aspects of sexual deviancy, talk to Zombo.
Edit: Oh...however, when it comes to law and politics, if you want my expertise there must be remuneration.

Good beer is what I prefer. Plus I tend to go to the other side of Mik when it comes to beer. I have to drink a dozen Bud Lights or Coronas to get the same buzz from say three Great Lakes beers. The difference is a dozen cheap beers will leave you floating and bloated. Still...I do like me some Coronas from time to time.
-
i don't drink light beer (unless that's all there is left...). coronas and regular buds are just lighter in taste compared to the hoppy craft beers. sure you'd have to drink more bud or corona to equal the buzz of some micro brews because of their alcohol content. but you'd be done in a couple of hours because you'd be full (in more ways than one) while i'm still carrying on.
the light of day does not stop this dog from keep on going on. some of my worse posts on here have been in the middle to end of a three day binge.
nothing to be proud about, but i feel for the fool to challenge me.

We are trying to enjoy in two different ways, so I think in the end we actually are in agreement here. My goal is to try and sip at those hoppy craft beers, albeit that's damned hard to do sometimes when they are so tasty, and carry a nice buzz on through. But it depends on the day too. For constant drinking more often and frequently in a single outing, yeah one would never make it, so your way is best. I've done a six pack of Xmas Ale and not remember what the hell happened the night before. A dozen Coronas in twice the time frame, and you are still active and able to continue.
My wife likes to start with two or three of the good stuff, get the buzz on, then carry on through the night with something lighter/cheaper. You're already buzzing pretty good, so priority on flavor diminishes. Pretty sound plan IMO.

He, is me.

My liver couldn't take a 5 hour bender, let alone a 3 day one.

Not all craft beers are overly hoppy. Granted the IPAs and their overhoppiness seems to dominate that scene, but there's plenty if wheat ales, lagers, blondes and other beers that don't have that bite. I'll dig 'em all, depending in my mood.

Ya the fat ass know it all magistrate, lol.
Actually, there are a few others. For DC Comics historica, it is WSS as well. Perhaps the same for you for Mad Magazine?
Look, I am throwing you a bone here.

Damn, I wish I was retired Mik. I have only one rule when it comes to drinking beer- ABM Anything But Miller. I wouldn't drink that crap if you paid me to do so. Oh, when it's beer, give me the Belgian Abby ales- like Saint Bernadus Abbot 12- beer hopped up to wine proof. The one beer to have when you're having only one. I have a few other favorites- Steinlager (New Zealand) which apparently isn't imported anymore into the USA. The Dortmunders and Munich style beers. Hard stuff I favor Crown Royal, Hennessy VSOP, Laphroaig single malt, and of course the famous "Orange Shit" real Curacao from Curacao. PS- I could give Stan a pretty good run about high end tequila, but I'll defer for now.

Yuck to over hopped beers, it's all about balance to me, the same way it is in wines. Not a big fan of wheat beers\ales either.

HA!
i drank MGD back in the day when i lived in AZ. the sand in your mouth from playing volleyball made it bearable. and the fact that anything freakin cold tasted good when you're out getting baked in the 105 degree sun. my eastern european blood didn't handle it well. i like being white as a ghost and living in a cave.

I love Miller High Life. It's the Champagne of beers.

I detect a challenge here....a slap of the gauntlet across Stan's face. Let's see if he defends his honor!

To each their own. Know why Miller comes in clear bottles? It's pasteurized, and legally dead. There's a reason they put most beers in amber or green bottles- to protect it from sunlight which can make the beer have off smells. That isn't a problem with Miller.
