Greetings, fellow travelers.

Postby Aleksi » Sat Jan 28, 2012 4:15 pm

I am Aleksi, from Finland.

I enjoy imbibing both the great stuff, luckily have been exposed to both great bartenders who know their way around a cocktail (and a drunkard) and the wines of the world.

I also take great pleasure in stuffing myself with the proletariat grade hooch of the world, bad grappa/shitty Spanish brandy/fucked up varieties of regional spirits. I should, since I am Finnish and our local pleasures tend to gravitate along such orbits.

Here goes a Guinness for Mr. B, and a shot of hardcore ouzo for good measure to chase it.

Happy to be here. *tips the 'tender, steals a bottle of Russkij Standart while nobody is looking*

I'll have anything, as long as it's whisky, and leave the bottle.

Happy to oblige - and as these things should make a comeback, here's a bottle of Grants.

Sir, may I suggest Koskenkorva?

Will assuredly get one ragingly drunk way better than the Russian or Polish equivalents.

Best bourbon I ever had was surprisingly from Evan Williams. The black label stuff is amazing.

So here goes - enjoy.

Anyways, here goes... and a Suikka. Fernet and well tequila, in equal amounts.

What the gringo said.
"I never want to go to bed if there are still beers in the fridge, but then I am always hopeful that there are beers left in there when I wake up.". Thirstydrunk.

An alcoholic is someone who drinks just as much as you do but whom you don't like.

An another bourbon. Well, lemme make you one with Blanton's single barrel. A double shot. An orange rind and a pinch of demerera sugar on the side. No ice.

Pale ale? Sierra Nevada. My treat.
