Cognac is aged brandy. The older it is, the better and it is quite expensive.

At Ruth's Chris steak house, the sell some Napolean Cognac for $500 1/2 a shot or something like that, correct me if I'm wrong.

Cognac is actually a good investment.

all these drinks have their place.

Champaigne before dinner and for a toast

Wine with diner or when you are trying to be romantic

cognac - is an after dinner drink like, port wine , scotch, or a triple boc beer

beer - is good before dinner and with certian foods.

Vodka - like tequila ,gin & everclear is ment to be mixed as a cocktail

If you are just looking to get drunk - then keep ramming your head into a concrete wall till you loose consciousness - it have the exact same results as getting drunk (killing brain cells, headache, and hangover) you just get to keep your money, (oh yes and ckicks dig scars)

Don't mix wine, beer and alcohol in one evening. It'll get you pretty wasted. Try sticking to one category, and remember that with alcohol, you can easily get over your tolerance level giving you a perfect night on the toilet.

Smirnoff sucks, go for Jagermeister. Yes, 20 years old is speaking.

Bacardi 151 rocks too, so is Ice 101. Ice 101 is too powerful and it is a bottle of schnapps with a peppermint flavor. I whopped up four shots of Ice 101 in less than a minute. That was the last day before I went home from RIT. 🙂

Or go for mixed drinks if you preferred to be a softcore alcoholic.. 😀

Try to drink it, and you won't be speaking with your regular tone of voice for a while.
My dad used medically clean booze once(or whatever it's called in English) to make some drinks and stuff, it's 96% with no additives whatsoever.

Was pretty funny, this was at what I would call an old fart party(people in the 35-60 range), and most of them got pretty wasted 😀

Other than the alcholol content, what's the difference between american beer and imports? I always here Americans and canadians alike calling american beer piss etc

Most of the major American brands(Miller, Bud, etc) taste pretty much like water.
A Staropramen, Litovel, Urquell, or some other nice lager will have a very nice taste, if you haven't, try them out.
Of course Sam Adams ale is very nice as well, and I once tasted some beer from california called Red Seal, very nice beer 🙂

Of course if you wanna get serious, Trappist beers are what you should aim for, Rochefort, Westmalle, etc.
