Dear GOD, Im in crisis!!! Love beer and whiskey but dont ask me to pick favorites as I just cant do it anymore. Love cheap stuff most say is crap! I can't help it, I love Dewars white label, 12, and Famous Grouse and Evan Williams black. I also love good ole cheap Canadian Mist!!! As far as beer goes, I know its from Mexico but nothing beats Dos equis Amber...nothing. Although, I also enjoy Blue Moon, Ziegenbock, and Molson when I can find it. Guess I'll just keep drinking what I like, but damn!!!! Lol! 

 

So, I plead no contest!!!

I'm pretty easy: whiskey and coke (provided it isn't Tennessee Honey, that stuff is nasty). Spiced rum is delicious, but I'm allergic to cinnamon so I don't partake.

I'm going to live up to the stereotype here, but there's nothing better than a properly pulled, properly rested pint of Guinness. @stealthhwk I agree with you on the Blue Moon, and I'm also partial to Doom Bar- a nice crisp cornish ale. Delish. Roll on Friday night!:beer:

Evan Williams is a good bourbon. I usually have that in my bar. I'm more a J&B scotch man myself for making scotch and sodas but it is extremely similar to Dewars and Cutty Sark. 

Favorite drink is probably still that, scotch and club soda.

I like a wide range of beers. Though I hate sour beers and most beers with any sort of fruit flavoring. I prefer porters over stouts. I will drink some IPA's but I am picky on these beers. I pretty much dislike most domestic beers. 

As for liqueurs, I like to drink whiskey. I like pretty much all types from Scotch to Bourbon. One of my favorites is Redbreast 12 year cask strength. I like to drink whiskey with a few ice cubes. I also like mixed drinks like Manhattens and Old Fashioned's.

I love Manhattan's. Bullet bourbon is amazing in Manhattan's. I've been enjoying a lot of bourbon barrel beers lately. We have a good selection of micro brews up here.  Central Waters, Founders, Lakefront are some local ones. I also like most of the stuff Dogfish head brews and Kentucky Bourbon Barrel brews.

First off I like anything with Rum in it, as long as I can taste the Rum. Proof doesn't matter. I just like the taste of Rum. Give me a great (Rum) tasting Long Island Tea, and I am a happy camper. Good Scotch is another favorite on occasions.

However, most of my alcohol consumption these days come from any of the 6%+ beers currently on the market. There is a cheaper brand out there, that sells a case of 30 cans for $14.99 that gets most of business. Gives me a great buzz, which is all I am looking for, at a decent price. A few beers at night, sitting with friends, around a camp fire is is pretty nice. Throw in a few Dominicans, and it's all good.:beer:

A good peaty and smoky scotch on the rocks is my favorite drink - Lagavulin, Johnny Walker Double Black, and Laphroig 10 year, are some of my favorites.  I do enjoy an occasional bourbon Manhattan and second the Four Roses Single Barrel (there are a number of variations) as my favorite.

Beer is my preference.  A nice inexpensive red wine with a meal. at times.  Not too dry and not sweet.

With beer, I tend to stay away from the heavier styles (stouts, porters, etc..).  I will drink almost anything labeled Lager, Pilsener, Witbier, Blond, Weissbier, or Saison.  I enjoy Bell's Oberon in the summer.

I haven't had any type of liquor in decades.

I love ice cream and used to consume half a cup every other night if not every night and a beer too. Now I am trying out a mix of Grand Marnier + Bailey's Irish Cream shots 2-3 times a week instead to satisfy the sweet tooth and yet consume a little less sugar (shot qty) and alcohol combined.

I like hoppy beers like IPA's, pale ales... I very much enjoy bourbon as well... basil haydens, woodford. But being a teacher I usually stick to natty light and the occasional 6-pack of the pregame session ale from unknown here in town.

Shock top is a gift from the gods. If I'm drinking liquor it's whiskey sours or old fashioned. If I'm trying to party, it's tequila.

Oy, too many to count, but here we go

Beer, I like pale ales and IPAs, but I think the reliance on a ton of hops has been done and overdone.  Proper craft is balance, and too many hops tilt the balance too much.  I buy Sierra Nevada Pale Ale for everyday consumption.  I also love a proper pint of Guinness while in Ireland.  I had a great time drinking hand-pulled real ales in Scotland. 

I like red wine, but don't know a lot about it.  For value and drinkability, I like Italian wines like Chianti or Montepulciano.  I've recently started buying Argentinian Malbecs, and like that for a slightly richer red.

I like bourbon, but prefer Scotch whisky, with a touch of peat.  Caol Ila is my favorite.

Tanquerray gin and Schweppes tonic make a lovely summer drink, with a nice chunk of lime.

That seems like enough favorites.

Due to an unforeseen toothpaste shortage, I found myself at the market yesterday and picked up a bottle of Sam Adams Boston Lager.

It's easy to forget how good an old standard like that is after you haven't had it in a while.

    • Makes sense.  Like I said, I wouldn't have been upset at their original offer either, and based on the fine print it seems like they've held up their end of the deal.  
    • If you've only had to adjust retroactively one time in 8 years and have around 5 people each year without handicaps, that's like 40-50 people total so it sounds like you're doing a pretty good job. I think your questions give enough to go off of. This might be a good way to get new people to actually post a few scores during the 6 weeks leading into the first event. Something like "New members will be eligible for tournament money once they have at least 3 posted rounds in GHIN" or something like that. If they can get 3 rounds in prior to their first event, then they're eligible. If not, they'll soon become eligible after an event or two assuming they play a little bit outside of events.
    • This is a loooooong winded narrative so if you don't like long stories, move on. 😉 Our senior club typically gets about 25 new members each year. We lose about 25 members each year for various reasons (moved to FL/AZ, disabled, dead, too expensive). Of the new members, usually 20 have an active GHIN handicap. About 5 each year do not have a GHIN handicap. When they join our club, we give each member a state association membership that includes GHIN handicapping services. We play a series of handicapped tournaments over the summer. When we sign up a new member who does not have a GHIN handicap, we attempt to give them an estimated index until they have sufficient scores posted to have an actual GHIN index.  Our first event typically is around May 15 so, in theory, a new member has about 6 weeks to post a few scores. Posting season in the Mitten starts April 1. Inevitably, several of the unhandicapped individuals seem  to either not play until the first tournament or can't figure out how to enter scores (hey, they are seniors). That situation then leads to my contacting the new member and asking a series of questions: a. Did you ever have a GHIN handicap? If yes, which State and do you recall what it was? b. Do you have an alternate handicap through a non-GHIN handicap service or a league? c. What do you think your average score was last year (for 9 or 18) d. What was your best score last year? Where did you play and which tee was used? e. What do you consider a very good score for yourself? Based on their responses I attempt to give them an index that makes them competitive in the first couple events BUT does not allow them to win their flight in the first couple events. We don't want the new members to finish last and at the same time, we don't want someone with a "20" playing handicap to win the third flight with a net 57. In the event some new member did shoot a net 57, we also advise everyone that we can and will adjust handicaps retroactively when it is clear to us that a member's handicap does not accurately reflect their potential. We don't like to adjust things retroactively and in the 8 years I have chaired the Handicap Committee, we have only done it once. So here are the questions to the mob: Any ideas how to do this better? Any questions one might ask an unhandicapped individual to better estimate their index/handicap? Would it be reasonable to have a new player play once (or more?) without being eligible to place in the money?
