Shots vs. mixed drinks

[Syringer]

When you're at a party, and are looking to loosen your nerves a bit..which do you prefer?

I personally go for shots, and get the effect going as quickly as possible:beer:

 

[johnjbruin]

I dont drink. But i can still use this -> :beer:

 

[Colt45]

depends on the drink.. rum.. either straight or with coke.

whisky.. straight or with beer (not mixed.. just drink em together.. on/off kind of thing)

brandy - straight

vodka.. straight. unless you like yorsh

 

[IEatChildren]

I'll take shots of any hard liquor
love scotch and some vodka (stolichnaya & moskovskaya) and rum
I can definitely hold my liquor, but I don't like being that drunk. Just a little loosened up, maybe _slightly_ buzzed

 

[Snapster]

Shots, great for playing games.

Blasphemy!

Depends on the mood I'm in. If I'm looking to get drunk right quick, shots. However, I can sometimes drink mixed drinks almost as fast as I could do shots.

I've tried pretty hard to drink, I just can't do it. I just don't really like being buzzed/drunk.

I drink a few beers. I like to remember what happened.

 

[maziwanka]

shots and perhaps long islands. im a baller.

 

[spidey07]

bourbon on the rocks or jack-n-coke.

Leave the fru-fru shots to the ladies.

 

[isasir]

Mixed drinks. I need to have a drink in my hand, even if it's been watered down by ice. If I do a shot, I tend to get a beer or a mixed drink afterwards anyways.

 

[Jzero]

I'll do shots here and there, but if I get drunk too quickly, I get tired of being drunk and want to just go home or go to sleep.

 

Where is both?

 

[JBT]

I perfer shots but afterwords I like having something to sip on so ussually a gin and tonic fits the bill.

I don't get doing shots. Why chug something that's going to make your grimace when you can sip on something tasty. Give me a nice rum and tonic and I'm a happy camper......3-5 of them and I'll be a very happy camper.

because not all shots make you grimace. i find a lot of shots quite good. tequila+tabasco=tasty. plus those new vanilla vodka varieties are interesting...

Right, but if something is tasty you should sip and enjoy right? Believe me, a couple of nice strong mixed drinks will fsck you up just as much as a few shots. Sipping also allows for more accurate buzz management whereas shots are a quick way to end up puking in the petunias.

To each his own, I suppose.

 

[FrOsTxxbYtE]

i would rather have drinks so i can party longer before i hit the floor...

true...i suppose thats why i sip my shots too. i'm not knocking mixed drinks--i think they're great too. but it just so happens that i can't fit a lot of liquid in me.

btw...its fairly easy to manage your buzz with chaser shots.

Hmm....the restroom wall at the local gas station claims otherwise.

I think it's an age thing too. I did shots when I was in my early 20's, but I just don't really see that at parties once I hit 30.
