<p>what's the point of drinking something you don't like then? if you can't muster the confidence to approach a girl when you're sober, then you have a whole other problem. </p>
<p>most people I know who drink for the sole purpose of getting drunk ARE morons. And that is coming from an 18 year old, not a parent.</p>
<p>It's not just drinking to get drunk that's stupid, though -- it's drinking because everyone else is doing it. If you honestly like it, fine, but why do it otherwise?</p>
<p>Why are people coming into this post and bashing alcohol. Obviously this thread is about people who like to drink, so we really don't need your comments/judgments on alcohol and the whole thou art better than you attitude.</p>
<p>Screwdrivers- Vodka and orange juice
My personal favorite: vodka and sobe energy drink ..so good
all those "girl beers" like smirnoff and stuff give me a headache and have way too much sugar.</p>
<p>VERY few ppl other than some high school freshmen drink to look cool...IT IS FUN to lose inhibitions, but I do agree that it is toolish to brag about drinking, how drunk you are, etc.</p>
<p>those smirnoff drinks are so sick (as in i dont like them, not cool, haha) they make me so nauseous and just like settle in my stomach and fizz. i give them a wide berth. at parties you can find me with the boys and a hip flask. haha. just kidding. or am i? ;)</p>
<p>all the pre-mixed drinks will not do you well the next morning. due to the frightening amount of sugar in one of those bottles, if you consume several, you will start getting the 'sugar shakes' as the night goes on. in my experience, they also hurt your teeth. makes the hangover breakfast less satisfying when your pearly whites are recovering.</p>
<p>my preference is jagermeister. i may be in the minority, but i think it tastes good straight. it's also great mixed with red-bull. </p>
<p>new drinkers: be careful. drinking is popular in college but take it easy. dont try to show off by chugging down more than you can handle and beware of drinking games. you'll pound a couple at a table and think you're fine. then you'll stand up and meet the carpet. </p>
<p>girls: be extra careful. make sure you have friends to take you back to your dorm, or stay the night somewhere comfortable and safe. oh, and guard your drinks!</p>
<p>Personally, I can't stand vodka because of past bad experiences with it, so I try to avoid it if possible.</p>
<p>For shots, I like rum or Hypnotiq (I know, its girly..but it tastes sooo good)</p>
<p>Mixed drinks,
Rum and coke or Jack and coke, heavy on the rum and jack
and Sprite and any colored or flavored alcohol.</p>
<p>I also like flavored tequila-had a mango one that was really good.</p>
<p>Love sex on the beach</p>
<p>Go easy on the malts and all-the sugar is a killer...(and dont even try chugging...ugh)</p>
<p>And I definitely second izziebears warning to girls; if you dont know how your getting home, limit the drinks. And don't let anyone fix you "special" drinks-it sounds ridiculous but its not.</p>
<p>Also, if you're not used to alcohol, don't sit on a couch and drink. You won't feel anything till you stand up, and then you'll fall down. Bad idea.</p>
