I'm near-anally left-brained even in my drinking heh... regardless of the liquor, my MO is ~15 shots with 5 sodas in a 3-4 hour period for maximum enjoyment. Any more than that and I'm looking at a hangover, and my younger years are past me - hangovers suck!

What's a good cheap brand to get?

EDIT: Emphasis on cheap

Don't get cheap stuff unless you want a hangover.

Yep. Montezuma isn't terrible either. Steer clear of Juarez.

Once tequila is introduced into the mix, all bets are off. Everytime I've 1) gotten in a fight 2) broke the law or 3) had a one night stand, senor tequila was there on my shoulder. My friends and I would call it Jose Huevos time!!!!

Margaritas, cigars, and the Gypsy King's cover of Hotel California blaring at full blast = good times.

I think when getting drunk you do feel different kinds of buzzes but I think this is random and depends on the occasion (what you ate, time of day/night, and countless other variables...), not the type of drink. From what I've seen, alcohol effects you differently at different times. I've drank pretty much most types of booze and have had felt the entire range of tired drowsy drunk / hyper fun drunk, sloppy slurred speach+falling over drunk / still have my wits and control but just more outgoing drunk.

I'd say go for whatever drink you like the most.

Try Don Julio tequila. I never tried it, but a mexican girl I was seeing for while (actually from Mexico, not just mexican background. ) She lived here for about a year before we met. She swore by Don Julio and claimed most popular tequilas in the US were not good, or even real tequila (mostly fillers and flavor. Not authentic pure tequila)

I've never liked tequila, but I never tried any of the pure ones so I may change my mind if I do.

sorry I'd have to disagree with you on that one. While I agree the setting and mood of the drinker contributes, you have to remeber diffrent types of booze are just made of diffrent kinds of things. The diffrent componants have to affect the way the alcohol interacts with the system. Well that's my theory/obsedrvation anyway, and I've got my liver to back me up on this. :)

This is true. Cheap alcohols tend to have more impurities like propanols that aren't good for you.

I've always though that those impurities had more to do with causing worse hangovers than how you felt while drinking.

I was also talking only from my experiences though so I have no actual facts to back this other than how I've felt. I haven't noticed or remembered any differences between drinks, but I could be wrong (especially since my memories were dunken ones so they might not have been acurate.. :) )

It does make sense though that they could cause different effects while drinking. I think this is grounds for further investigation....(aka: excuse for more drinking) ..... :)

I'll have a little tequila, but nothing clear about that buzz for me.

I'll stick with my Bacardi and be able to drink all night :)

Mostly the hangover yeah, but I've had nights drinking cheap liquor where I didn't feel so hot (spins, etc) yet didn't feel nearly drunk enough to warrant it. You don't have to get the liquid gold for sure, but stay away from the really cheap sh*t.

If you're thinking clearly, it's probably because you haven't had enough to drink.

i think a tequila buzz is about the worst one there is. mix a few coronas in with it and it spells impending pounding headache.

I've sampled many kinds of tequila and I have to say - the worse it smells, the better it tastes.
That is, of course, only in my experience. Everyone who I tell that to thinks I'm crazy.
DO NOT GET CHEAP TEQUILA. You will regret it.

Tequila really does not sit well in my stomach. It always comes up when ever I have the stuff but that is usually when I drink too much for me also :(

I always feel 'clear' whenever I drink that I have a nightmare when I wake up.

One thing I've noticed is tequila will cause me to blackout whereas I would have to drink twice as much vodka or beer to get blackout. I guess if you reach the state where you get blackout your drinking days are over.

I've been known to drink tequila now and again. I don't know if I would call it a clear buzz, but it's definately a good buzz.
