A shot of whiskey dunked into a mug of beer, that's it.  None of those pretty color drinks, them is faggy.  :-)

a shot of some good rum lite on fire and dropped into a mug of beer taste like Dr. Pepper.

nothing beats a straight shot of Jack Daniels though,taste just like Jack Daniels.

That's all from memory , haven't had a drop of alcohol in six yrs.

A shot of Jaegar dropped into a glass of Red Bull is acceptable.

Let's see, the title of the OP is MAN LAW.  Not etiquette or time-of-day or what have you.  So:

Nothing sweet, ever.  This includes rum & coke.

Stay season-appropriate.  Whiskey in winter, gin-and-tonic in summer.  

Straight shots aren't really grown-up.  It looks desperate to get drunk.  Now.  

Martinis may pack a wallop, but the straight up ones in the pretty stemmed glasses are just so fem.  Have them on the rocks with olives.  


P.S.  Rebel, that's the most dreadful thing I've ever heard of.

Perhaps it's referred to as "Man Law" for a reason  :cheersmate:

Whiskey is never out of season.  Straight shots are so you receive the pure undiluted product to truly savor & appreciate it.

I liked rum & Coke, preferably with Bacardi 151.

Whiskey and Coke, 7 & 7.  I would even drink a Bloody Mary now and then to settle my stomach on a day after.

Mostly it was just beer.

Any and all whiskies, even Ca-nay-dee ah, are to be "on the rocks" or with water. My fav is JD single barrel.

Tequila (not Cuervo Gold/ preferrably a "silver") is to be shots, and shots only with lime, no juice. If you don't grimmace, ur doing it wrong.

Foo foo drinks are for your wife/gf, so she'll do the REALLY nasty.  :naughty:

Finally, learn to drink Scotch & water, and not that lowland shit.

From a woman's perspective.  Beer or whiskey are the only two men are allowed to drink and never starting with one and changing to the other.  Anything else is suspect.

Back in my college days, I used to start with beer, then go to wine, then vodka.  I didn't do that too often, but the owners of stock in the makers of Excedrin and Bayer aspirin enjoyed it.

ETA:  Said stockholders would probably enjoy going to http://www.electstevedawes.com and nosing around.

Doesn't really matter too much to me what kind of flavoured ethanol it is, be it rum , bourbon , scotch , vodka ... I mix it with coke.

Beer can be mixed with vodka but still should be served ice cold except in emergency situations.

Bailey's rocks is no question a mans drink. Also, Ernest Hemingway, by no means a pantywaist, used to drink "Papa Dobles," which were double-sized daiquiris. I doubt anyone ever questioned his manhood at the time.

Whatever makes it from your stomach to the ground is a mixed drink.

Once in Germany a friend of mine brought this big plastic container of cheap red wine mixed with cola. "This is a good drink, it tastes the same coming up as going down," my friend explained.

I drink Bailey's on the rocks. How else are you supposed to drink it?  :???: I do like it in hot chocolate though.

The only thing that should be mixed with good liquor in a glass is the occasional ice cube.  Chasers are for sissies and sweet drinks are for ladies.

I'm a lady, and I prefer a slightly dirty Grey Goose martini, or Grey Goose on the rocks with a splash of water and 2 wedges of lemon.
Patron Silver shot with a slice of lime, however, after a couple of shots of tequila, I do get rather fiesty.  :whistling:

No, and I went with something besides 80 proof Malibu. They had a huge bottle of some new stuff called "Coconut Jack" that was on sale. After about 4 drinks, I didn't feel anything. Turns out that stuff on sale ain't but damn 42 proof, 21% alcohol.  Won't catch me buying something without reading again. Had to spike it up with real Bacardi. :censored:

I've been a Jack & Coke drinker for 20 years. Nothing beats it.

However, if I'm out with friends and I'm driving, I will stick with a good Merlot or a Cab. Two is my limit. If I have a DD, I will undoubtedly hit the Jack. I used to date a guy in my twenties and there was a couple times we went through a handle on Friday night and we'd get back up and go out again on Saturday. I do not miss my twenties. Perhaps because I can barely remember them. :)
