Feel free to post likes and dislikes, but only post about Y2J if it relates to ethanol, or prepare to deal with the wrath of Firewoman.

If it isn't made with gin or vodka and dry vermouth, it isn't a martini. Olive, onion, or twist are all OK

I like prune juice.

That's good for washing down the Metamucil

Fozzy is way more fun to listen to after a couple shots of whiskey.

Alot of things are better after a couple of shots of whiskey, the Irish kind preferably

I started this thread as a joke, but a commercial I heard today demands some kind of response. Coors Lite is being touted as cold, like any other beer can't be cooled in a refridgerator or on ice in a cooler? Cold has nothing to do with the quality of a beer, it has to do with the settings of the fridge!!!!

Most of you young folks only know of Coors as a crappy beer company, like I grew up knowing Falstaff as a cheap crappy beer, so my annoyance might seem surprising. However, I spent my college years hearing about how guys would drive 24 hours straight to buy a case of Coors in Colorado. (I also used to hear the same crap about Rolling Rock.) Before 'Gansett went out of business I could have bought the same crap at the local packy! (Translated into non-Bostonian, I could have purchased a cheap local beer of comparable "quality" at a local purveyor of adult beverages.)

I really like you.

I also heard that Coors was the absolute shit back in the day. Coors Original isn't too bad, but if I'm drinking a non-light beer for 6 bucks a sixer, I'll get something mexican. Or something on sale. Or just something light like Bud Light.

I tend to like "Spirits+Non-Alcoholic Drink" for my boozing, such as JD and Coke and Vodka and Orange. I don't drink beer or any lagers. I sometimes have Strongbow Cider, but not a lot as it gies me gut rot.

Vodka + just about any juice is awesome.

Vodka & Dr. Pepper is brilliant as well...

Are you sure it wasn't being touted as "cold-filtered"? Makes a difference.

The ad campaign is all about cold temperature of the beer. They do tout a can that turns color when it gets cold, which is kind of interesting, but I'm pretty sure I can just touch the can to tell if it's cold.

As for regular Coors, west coast guys who used to swear it was the greatest when it was local claimed it "doesn't travel well" when it went national. PA guys claimed the same about Rolling Rock. Some guys claim Bud made in St. Louis tastes markedly better. I think they just bought into the hype.

An Irish friend called hard cider "loony soup", because it goes down so smoothly but packs a punch.
