I also really like bourbon+coke, manhattan, old fashioned, white russian and black russian.

this sounds interesting. but in portland, no one in the entire city would serve you a drink that was half mixer and half alcohol. they may as well spit in your face. seems normal in europe, but i don't order drinks in europe for that reason. i think america is, in general, better for drinks than europe. (we've got to be better for something, right?) but portland is the best place i've ever been for alcohol content in drinks or shots. here, that drink would come out as 3 to 4 oz bourbon, 2 oz kahlua, and and ounce or two of cran. might throw off the flavor, but it's a much better value for drinking at a bar.

here is a picture i took of a single shot of whiskey on the rocks with a 16 oz tall can of beer at a bar near my house. this is typical for portland.

I want to visit your portland and compare it to my portland.

I was gonna say, having lived in Beer Mecca East, I still gotta make my pilgrimage to Beer Mecca West.

Yeah, I've got homies as far south as San Diego, so I definitely want to drink my way up the west coast at some point.

I was gonna go west for Pliny the Younger next month but I've got too many work obligations that week DAMNIT

I'm going to try and hunt down some Heady Toppers for you this weekend, by the way.

You're the greatest. Thanks man.

Maybe I'm just a big pussy, but I find that too much booze can ruin a drink, depending on what it is. Even when I was a 22-year-old champion boozebag, I still didn't like to drink straight liquor. The alcohol burn just totally blows away any flavor in what I'm drinking.

I've had G&T's that were like 3/4 gin, and I found it completely undrinkable.

Other drinks you can be a little more liberal with the booze amounts. I mean, an Old-Fashioned is mostly bourbon, but at least there you have some other strong tastes to balance the booze.

I think the drink of Joy Sores tour was Evan Williams Green Label and Sprite, prepared by drinking about half of the 2 liter of sprite and then pouring the whole bottle of whiskey in there.

Yeah, nothing helps you get ready to pile into a van and do it all again after playing to exactly six people like being totally fucking hammered.
