gin and soda water would have to be my favorite. had alot of nasty experiences with cheap lambrusco (sp?), drinking litres at a time (those were the good days back in nam.. first year getting drunk many times a week). my new favorite is vodka, straight. been through phases with tequila, rum, bourban, beer (carlton of course), cocktails (fruit tingles are the shit), and yager bombs. but gin will always be the favorite.
i have at times drank to get wasted, but now its not so much the case.
worst drinking experience was downing a bottle of gin (without munting) at my bosses party then going to work the next day at 7am for 8 hours during which time i threw up 5 times and couldnt keep any food/liquid down. worst ever, i've never looked so shit!
another bad experience was when i was a first year (fresh from my cruiser days) and drank a bottle of vodka. some random chicks found me spewing in the bushes out front of the pub, took my phone off me and rang ppl til they found a friend who was also at the pub. she took me home, though i threw up in the taxi.. bad night. didnt drink for a month after that one.
best nights of drinking (and there have been many) are usually only when ive combined it with other things.
