What alcohol do you drink on Christmas/New Year?

[PryGuy]

Well, The topic explains all. What for me - I have three bottles for my family: White Horse, Campari Asti and Sierra Tequila. No bloody vodka or beer!!! As for Christmas (Orthodox Christians celebrate it on January 7th) I don't think it's right to drink much on that day, so I'll probably won't drink at all... Cocktail recipes would be great too :)

P.S. And Happy New Year to all of you!!!

[insane_alien]

Wine, kopparberg pear cider, malt whiskey, vodka, rum, brandy.

not all at once though. i don't really get drunk because its so spread out and there's so much food. i wouldn't drive though.

[PryGuy]

Hello Scotland! Your White Horse whiskey is what I really like (don't get me wrong :))! Yeah, I'm looking forward to see much food also. :)

[damis648]

Champagne is all for me, and just a bit on Christmas and New Year's. I'm not old enough to drink. :(

[MaindotC]

I don't drink but I serve idiots loads of alcohol at the gas station. Thank god I'm not working New Year's Eve. I can just see it now. People flooring it to my gas station at 11:51 pm, SCRAMBLING and fighting over one another to get another 30-pack of Keystone Light. Starting to get pissed off because the line is taking too long and they're afraid they'll get home at 12:01a. Losers and their alcohol, cigarettes, and lottery tickets. Yeah, going to be an interesting day.

i had red wine from italy

[PryGuy]

By the way, I can recommend Torres Coronas (http://www.torres.es/eng/asp/nv_ficha.asp?Cod=4&Ficha=Producto) red wine. It has rich taste yet it's not expensive.

Tastes great and it's got more alcohol in it than a regular beer.

[SuperSonic4]

Kopparberg pear cider, vodka

Ladies and gentleman we have a winner :KS

I have Kopparberg pear and screwdrivers

[chucky chuckaluck]

this year, it was bourbon and red wine.

[Swarms]

At Christmas i prefer to drink dark beer, dark rum and vodka. At New Years Eve i am going to drink tequila and expensive champagne when clock strikes twelve.

[sicofante]

All of it ;-)

No, really, we have Ribeiro and Albariño white wines from Galicia, Spain, and Ribera del Duero or Rioja red wines (both from Spain) for meals. Cava from Catalonia, Spain (cava is similar to champagne) for meals and desert. Some "aguardiente" (that's Galician grappa) goes with desert, too, and then everyone chooses its own liquor from the standard catalogue: whisky, gin, rhum, vodka, etc. usually in combination with a soft drink (i.e. gin & tonic, rhum & coke, vodka & orange, etc.)

Happy New Year everyone.

[ddnev45]

Nothing alcoholic anymore; clean and sober going on 9 years now. I (seriously) owe my life to my wife.

A prosperous New Year to you all.

[jpmelos]

Champagne for New Year's Eve, please!

[jpittack]

At age 20, Santa Shakes for me (peppermint ice cream and egg nog or milk).

None of the above.

Oh I pity all you poor folks that will never be able to get a taste of the best of the best!

Well okay then, there's some pretty good Japanese stuff around too....
The worst however I drank in Australia.....:P ( nofi ofcourse...)

[Kingsley]

None of the above. I'm not at school because of Winter Break. :)

[markp1989]

vodka, punch, beer, after shock,

il drink prety much anything, except cider.

[NE Key]

Ethanol.

I find the other alcohols disagree with me.

[handy]

None.

[Rokurosv]

Wine for dinner and then whisky sometime in the night. The wine sucked this xmas.

[Corfy]

My wife and I plan to share a bottle of sparkling grape juice (http://www.welchs.com/products/juices-and-drinks/sparkling-juices/sparkling-juice-cocktail).

However, that is a non-alcoholic beverage. We don't drink alcohol (by personal preference).

[KiwiNZ]

None , I don't drink Alcohol

[seatex]

Crown Royal. Evan Williams with Coke, beer or margaritas the rest of the time. :)

[PryGuy]

One of the coolest cocktails I like is White Horse whiskey + apple juice. :)

Well I start of the night with some champagne.

Then an hour before I go out to the party, I drink a few glasses of coke light to sober up a bit.

Once on the party I drink a few beers, and with a few I mean 20 or so.

[seatex]

Oh, I forgot to mention. I do like a good Russian occasionally. Like Lebowski. :P

[Yanz]

Rum and coke. X)

[Delever]

Champagne xor Vodka xor else

[torry_loon]

Anyone for Pimms?

[y6FgBn)~v]

At age 20, Santa Shakes for me (peppermint ice cream and egg nog or milk).

Those sound really good. I think I may try one :o

[andrek]

Beers and champagne

[Dharmachakra]

At 17... I only get a glass or two of wine, which is perfectly fine with me. It's cheap wine too. I drank yellowtail pinot grigio from Harris Teeter on Christmas. It's pretty good though for ten dollar wine. Of course, I've only had maybe twenty different kinds of wine in my life.

[SuperSonic4]

Anything and Everything really

[PryGuy]

Oh, God! I caught a flu and I have to take antibiotics now. This means no alcohol on New Year for me... :(
...And I'm the guy who started this thread by the way, so ironic... :(

Happy New Year, people!!

[TorqueyPete]

None. :tongue:

Ladies and Gentlemen! We have the top prize winner!

:popcorn: :guitar:

Ok there was some in the xmas cake and the brandy butter, but I'll endure that cos I like cake and the bb is great with the xmas pudding! (Mind you, I probably butter and sugar mixed given the chance! LOL!)

I haven't liked the taste of alcohol since I was about 2/3 yrs old. When I was allowed to toddle around after several of my parents parties and finished off many of the left over glasses.
Made myself drunk, and very sick every time. http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j226/chashugh/gifs/vomit-smiley-020.gif
True story!

[ithanium]

coca cola does it count :D?

Happy new year guys!

Re: What alcohol do you drink on Christmas/New Year?



answer = Lots

[JDorfler]

Johnny Walker Blue Label.

[wylfing]

I popped into this thread wondering if I should post "None," because I don't drink, and was interested to find a number other non-imbibers who had already posted as much. Cheers, fellows! (hoists coffee mug in salute)

[my_key]

Champagne and a nice bottle of red wine during dinner.

[mips]

Christmas day I had two ciders, New Years nothing.

[tpe11etier]

Started with Margarita's then switched to Captain & Diet Coke...

[Joeb454]

Whoever said Koppaberg Pear Cider, I salute thee ;)

But to whoever said Malt Whiskey, you made the right choice, you just can't beat it :D

[Swarms]

You still can drink alcohol, you are just way more sensitive to it. :)

[Erik Trybom]

Let me see... I had wine for dinner, both red and white. Beer while waiting for the clock to strike. Champagne at the grand moment. Warm mulled wine (glögg) after watching the fireworks. Then it all becomes a bit hazy. I remember drinking most of the champagne bottle along with the few beers that I had left. Thank God I didn't touch the whisky.

[Corfy]

I caught a flu and I have to take antibiotics now.

Why are you taking antibiotics (which fights bacterial infections) for the flu (which is a viral infection)? That is a little like putting on a bullet proof vest to protect yourself from a chlorine gas cloud.

[Kernel Sanders]

I drank a few glasses of Champagne with Rasberries in :KS

Although if i'm honest I didn't enjoy it as I am really off alcohol these days. In my uni days I drank to excess pretty much all the time, and I think I may have sickened myself somehow? In any case, I have no desire to drink alcohol these days and rarely do. When I do it gives me a headache and stops me sleeping, so it't not exactly a pleasent experience.

My new years resolution is to fight peer pressure and just admit that I don't drink, rather than forcing myself to drink something alcoholic when i'd much rather have a coke or lemonade :KS

Sometimes the flu has side effects or causes other problems like throat & sinus infections. I had a bad case of it last year this time & it started as flu but quickly changed into something downright nasty & painfull for which antibiotics were perscribed.

I meant grippe of course, which is called flu also sometimes I guess. Had some tequila to fight it. :) Hope you all enjoyed your New Year!

[%hMa@?b<C]

I'm 17, and don't drink.

[Corfy]

Sorry... didn't mean to come off as being too harsh. It just seems that a lot of people are taking antibiotics unnecessarily ("I'm sick, I must need an antibiotic"), and are probably doing themselves more harm than good.

I wouldn't take it unless I had to.

[ajcham]

At New Year, I just had a few bottles of Budweiser (the proper Czech stuff, not the American one).

[PryGuy]

At New Year, I just had a few bottles of Budweiser (the proper Czech stuff, not the American one).I always thought Bud is originally a German beer... :confused:

[MaxIBoy]

About a quarter-inch of cognac in the glass...

[Guitar John]

On the increasingly rare occasions that I do indulge, it is usually Guiness or a shot of no particular brand of Irish whiskey. This year? None of either.

[ghindo]

I'm still a few years south of legal, so nothin' but a New Year's kiss for me :)

[xpod]

None,as strange as that might seem for a Scotsman.
If i did still partake though it would have been a nice 25Yr old Macallan`s Single Malt Whisky.

Ahh the memories:-\"
