Happy Birthday!!!

You, the prez and Nancy Reagan.

My favorite drink in a bar is Myers rum & coke.

Hey, here's something for ya, I found it in an old bartender's guide, it's a drink called a "Ward 8" is a whiskey sour with grenadine (make sure you use enough grenadine to make it RED). Now granted, a whiskey sour is something that MY parents' generation used to drink (my mother and father were born in the early 1920's) are are rarely ordered in bars nowadays. When my friends and I first started drinking in bars, we used to like to see if the bartenders even knew what a Ward 8 was and very few of them did.

Happy Birthday youth

Oh - since it's still your misspent youth phase and it is now LEGAL to drink, you gotta get the best bang for your buck... I'd suggest a Long Island Iced Tea - 1 shot each of Rum, Gin, Vodka, Triple Sec, Tequila with a splash of sweet and sour, and a bit of coke for coloring. Whatever you do, DO NOT DRIVE after you finish one!!! And do NOT drink any more than three if you don't want to feel the room spin and pray to the porcelin God!!!!

Some Ideas from my friend Drew at Toothpaste for Dinner

Not sure how they taste, but let's say they sound "interesting"... All in good humor anyways...
If you have a Wet Willie's (A Bar, A Party, an Institution) in town, go there and have a few drinks, then call a cab...

Happy 21st brother! I suggest getting completely plastered as that's the tradition where I come from. lol Any tequila, cheap gin or vodka will do.

Now, if you want to go the more mature route and not get plastered and just have a nice drink, I'd go with the Knob Creek. Very affordable and goes great with cigars IMO.

**Diesel Grinch** · 07-06-2005, 12:37 PM

Happy B-Day.

Whiskey sour is my choice.

**Buhz** · 07-06-2005, 12:52 PM

Happy Birthday !

I don't remember my 18th (Drinking/Smoking age is 18 up here) so it must've been good !

Have a great time and hope you don't wake up in an embarassing place.

I was down in Miami this weekend (holiday business trips rock) and had a couple of Mojito's. I make them better myself. Got to use a lot of Lime!!!

My Mojito Recipe:

2 limes
2.5 shots of rum
Sprite
2 teaspoons of sugar
Fresh Mint to taste

Skin one of the limes and throw it in the blender, add rum, sprite, sugar, blend. I slice the second lime in half, juice half of it in the drink and mix, then I slice the other half for garnish along with the mint.

i'll have to try that one, looks like my wife might enjoy it.

Don't even dream of drinking more than three LIITs AND DEFINITELY DON'T DRIVE AT ALL. Even after one.

When I first heard of Long Island Ice Teas I couldn't believe that a drink made up of so much booze could taste decent. Amazingly, they taste fantastic, but they will kill you. Kill, kill, kill, kill. They are totally unforgiving. Respect them and the number of them that you drink or you will certainly regret it the next day more than you could ever imagine.

But why kill yourself? You like Jack Daniels? Drink Gentleman Jack, a more refined version of Jack Daniels.

Ahhhhh....but I forget.....your at the magic number. You're legal. You want to get hammered. Don't you

There is no telling you anything at this moment I guess. Go ahead. Get wasted. Just promise us one thing.....be sure that you don't drive. Please. And be sure that whoever IS driving you is sober.

Happy Birthday!

**Drake** · 07-06-2005, 05:19 PM

i say stay away from the LIITs. i've had nothing good come from drinking those. i drank 1 beer and two LIITs, i don't remember anything. i was told i made a complete a$$ of myself in front of a beautiful girl that liked me before that night. then, i tried to get into my neighbor's house. which could've ended really bad if he had thought i was a burglar or something. i'd suggest sticking to something a little more controllable. try that one when you're not trying to get smashed. because if you drink those to get smashed, you'll end up way worse off than you intended. just my suggestion.

gentleman's jack is VERY yummy.

**Kinger** · 07-06-2005, 05:33 PM

Hey, Happy Birthday! I'm with Crickett on this one...go for a wellmade Mojito. Great summer drink, packs a good punch too! And round out the evening with a nice single malt and a smoke!
