Alcohol suggestions

As you all know (and if not, now you do), I'm in college and the semester is about to end. Over the break I'm planning to buy a lot of bottles and I would like some suggestions of what I should get.

This semester I had a Bacardi 151 (1L) that lasted me until the end of November, Coconut Ciroc (One 1L & 2 750mL) because I like to mix it with pineapple juice, and a Jack Daniels Black Label (250mL? It was a small bottle) that my friend gave me.

I've had Johnnie Walker Black & Red Label and I think its better than the JD so I'll probably get one, I might get the Bacardi 151 again because I can make it last and it's only about $25, and of course Ciroc for the ladies ;). I've also had Malibu Rum and Kahlua. The Kahlua was amazing might get that too idk about Malibu though, I don't think I drank enough of it.

No drinks over $100 right now though (So no Blue Label :().
 
can't go wrong with some grey goose. i also like cheap gin (with gin, it all tastes the same to me)
 
I usually stick to the basics:
-beer
-Jack Daniels
-Lambs Rum
-Captain Morgan

I also drink Iceberg Vodka. Its brewed here in Newfoundland..i'm not sure about its availability outside the province.

What do the French know about Vodka? ;)

I'd go with a Luksusowa Potato Vodka. Very smooth and relatively cheap.

My son is about your age and he (and his frat brothers) drink a lot of the sweet crap flavored beverages. If you're into that make sure you have some J

Because your 18?

Everclear should be in any liquor store. Same with the other. If you cant find it ask the person behind the counter. Again if your over 21.
 
Everclear (190 proof) is illegal in NY...

And I could give a crap if I was 18, been able to get drinks long before that. We can go on a whole debate about lowering drinking age to 18, but I just want suggestions for alcohol.

Well, with Absinthe it really depends on the state you live in, in the US. It's still illegal in most US states, but there are some that allow it. Albeit not the kind you can get in parts of Europe, which have a much higher Wormwood content. (The more Wormwood is very rich in Thujone, and is what is believed to cause the hallucinogenic properties of Absinthe.)

The reason the question was asked, is because most of us probably wouldn't suggest alcohol to an underaged drinker. (Especially on a family forum, where anyone is allowed to join.)

Hey do what ya want. I'm not sayin you shouldn't drink. Actually what am i trying to say? Lol.

You wanna drink and under 21 more power to ya. No skin off my nose.
 
Personally, I agree with the sentiments a few people tend to echo, if you're old enough to die for your country then you're old enough to drink. European countries have a lower drinking age and they don't have the problem that we have with under aged drinking, but I digress.

If you're responsible with your drinking (at age 18 it's possible, but if you're drinking while under the age of 21 then you're more than likely not responsible about drinking since you can't be responsible about drinking while breaking a law) a few bottles that you might find interesting, Agavero (they have their regular and an orange flavor, both popular with the ladies), Pama (Pomegranate liquor that's also popular with the ladies and has a wine-like quality to it), then there's this stuff that I found a few weeks ago called Tres Leches (it's a cream liquor/spiced rum concoction), there's Sweet Carolina (sweet tea liquor but someone told me that Jeremiah weed tastes better), and a Tequila that I found a few years ago on sale for 1/2 of what Patron costs is Jose Cuervo Platino (You have to make sure it's "Platino" because the others taste like crap). The Tequila above goes down rather smooth and after a few shots your burps taste all Agave-flowery. Oh and Bacardi Oakheart is a newer spiced rum that tastes ok. Now for some reason I feel like I need a cab ride home....
 
depends on what im in the mood for. If it's just a lounging drink either some vodka (preferably hammer and sickle or titos) on the rocks, or a nice class of absinthe with a single sugar cube infused into it (preferably pernod if i can get some imported otherwise i get the US swill they call absinthe [lucid]).

for plain old shots some good blanco tequila (preferably herra durra)
 
The best advice...is don"t drink. besides...for the price of a 500ml beer you can get a 2L coke or even better...a chocolate milk shake...oh and there's the cheaper and healthy er option of water.
 
Vinsanity you are 18? Then I would recommend Pabst Blue Ribbon. That's what we drank when we were 18 - it's cheap and tasty!

Skol Vodka works too ;)
