Love it, but it all depends on the brand. Publix brand is pretty good this year.

the calorie count on eggnog is off the charts. It doesn't taste bad, but I don't drink it at all.

Eggnog rules. I can understand why someone wouldn't like it by itself, its too rich. It needs to be diluted with Milk. Otherwise, it needs to be made into an alcoholic concoction. Anyone who doesn't like it simply hasn't had someone make it properly. There are a million recipes out there, it doesn't have to be rum or brandy, try amaretto.

Love Eggnog. I personally love putting Captain Morgans Private Reserve Spiced Rum in it though as it has a really nice smooth vanilla flavor that it adds. It just tastes sooo goood!!!

Love it. As someone mentioned earlier the brand is important too. And I have noticed some brands have a 1 week shelf life, others last for a few weeks. I usually finish it quick though so that doesn't really matter to me.

I'm a big fan of the nog but I try to eat relatively healthily, which results in me not drinking much of it.

Absolutely hate the stuff. Don't ever drink it myself, though the rest of my family loves it ... I'm pretty sure the 2 year old could subsist on the stuff, even though she seems slightly allergic to eggs :p

Like it plain.

Always forget we have it, and entire cartons get thrown out though. Just make it available all year!

Finally tried it with liquor recently, not that impressed. Stuff does not mix with alcohol well (physically), tastes fine with Bacardi's.

I always hated eggnog until I tried Southern Comfort Vanilla Spice Eggnog. No it doesn't come with alcohol and honestly I haven't had it with it. The only bad thing is that it is soooo unhealthy!

I can't stand store bought Nog. The only good Nog I had was homemade, with a bit of rum in it I think. That was some REAL good stuff. :sneaky:

Love it. If I could only drink egg nog my whole life I'd be happy.

same here. unfortunately, id be a serious fatass from it. i have a hard enough time keeping from spilling out of my batman underoos as it is without adding egg nog daily to the mix. im pretty sure ive gained 6 lbs this past 2 weeks from drinking it already.
