Friday Happy Hour - What Kind Do You Want?

As promised, here comes another blog post about everyone's favorite subject -- drinking. Since I already discussed my favorite drinks last week, this week I am going to highlight those awesome little get-me-drunk-quick-ers called shots.

First, don't expect to see any of those wild and crazy "fuzzy nipples", "mind erasers", or "oatmeal cookies" on my list. I mean don't get me wrong, I will drink such shots if you buy them for me, but I won't buy that shit myself. Something about mixing alcohol with juices or saying the words "blue smurf piss" reminds me of something... oh yeah, being a bitch. Leave these ones to the ladies fellas.

"Soco and lime" is also included on that list. Soco is so senior year of highschool, so freshman year of college. You're grown, grow a pair already.

On to my favorites...


Much like my favorite drink, "The Tom", one of my favorite shots is the plain vodka shot. Of course I prefer a shot of Grey Goose or Kettle One, but I can get down with Svedka or Absolut too if need be.

Vodka is just easy for me. This is probably related to my regular and frequent consumption of it but I don't want to discuss my problems that right now.

Ahhh... God's gift to urban America -- Hennessy.

Hennessy gets a lot of flack. Granted, I will admit that the stuff smells strong. As soon as you walk into a room you can smell me if someone has just been drinking some hen-rock. Then theres also that whift of it you get right before you take a shot of it. This is usually what turns away those who didn't really want to take the shot in the first place but were coerced to. Once they smell that distinct Hennessy smell, their courage crumbles. Not me though, I'm strong (scrong).

Honestly, Hennessy is smooth as hell. When I take shots of it, there is never that bite or discomfort you get after drinking other shots. You know that bad feeling in your throat; I get it from drinking tequila. Tequila is gross and will not be on my list.

The only fault with Hennessy is that it can be expensive as hell. I've seen a Hennessy fifth going for as much as $40 bucks. Outrageous. Why is everybody always trying to keep Urban America down? You know what I mean.

Last and least (in my heart), is Jameson's Irish Whiskey (Top 3 though! Alright!). I know lots of people out there drink Jack Daniels and hold it very near and dear, but I really just prefer the Irish stuff.

Me and my friend Steve Rizzy used to drink JD a lot when we were both young, dumb, and full of c 20. We would get drunk on JD and talk about how pissed we were to not be 21 yet. And when I say "got drunk", I mean got absolutely hammered. I remember (actually I don't remember) making many drunk dial phone calls during those nights. Not cool, not good, and diverging from my normally super suave self. Anyhow, ever since those days, I can't get myself to drink the stuff.

As soon as we did finally turn 21, me, Rizzy, and now also Grimmags would sometimes go to bars and drink shots of Jameson all night. I think Rizzy was the one who suggested them, but I also know that it was always Grimmags who paid for them. "Shots on Grimmags!" was the theme of those times. Those memories of good, free whiskey will always stay with me when I take shots of the smooth Irish stuff.

In the end though, drinking alcohol is always up to personal preference. This is what I drink, not necessarily what you would like to drink. Then again, I'm better than you. Keep that in mind. =)

Enjoy your weekend and don't drink and drive.

Be careful. I love you, aight?
