    The biggest buzz ? - or the worst hangover ?

    Was given a bottle of Prosecco yesterday -been drinking it tonight, I've never tried it before not quite as nice as Champagne but fairly enjoyable nevertheless - have to say I do enjoy wine with a fizz especially Champagne , I actually prefer it to beer for the 'alcohol buzz' especially the mellow feeling that I get from it- though it tends to give me (when I drink too much of it) a bigger and nastier hangover the next day.

    Definitely prefer drinking spirits for the quick 'knocked out' or 'get to sleep quick' effect ( but drink too much and I'm totally bolloxed the next day) and beer for social drinking or when I don't want to get too inebriated.

    Your thoughts?

    There's that saying about don't mix the grain & the grape & I agree. Can drink lager or wine seperately and might have a bit of a hangover but if I drink both the next day I wake up like me heads a padded room for a nutcase that keeps slamming himself aginst the walls.

    I agree if you drink too much of it - I remember being in the Daphne Wine Festival in my late teens and drinking copious amounts (carafes and carafes of retsina) I drunk it like you'd drink beer - all I remember is waking up to some well meaning but daft Australian bird sticking her fingers down my throat trying to make sick - **** was I ill afterwards I didn't drink wine for years after that episode

    Beer. Preferably Double Maxim or Brown Ale. Problem is with Maxim I need to have a hit n miss every single pint from the first bottle. Sore head the following day.
    Brown Ale makes me urinate in the wardrobe. Cannot lift my head off the pillow the following day.
    Love me real ales as well. Never get a hangover off these.
    At a push Rum snatches ( dark rum, dash of line and ginger ale) or Vodka/Peach schnapps and lemonade. I normally do a decent impression of a Border Collie after a few of these.

    I prefer drinking red with a meal, like drinking JD & coke or whisky & lemonade on a night out.

    Vodka turns me into an angry man & if I drink too much JD then I have a tendency to piss in inappropriate places.

    Beer at the match - usually worthies. Lager bloats me and makes me piss like a race horse so I end up missing half the match in the bogs.

    I love my red wine, and will drink most beers and lagers.. In fact there isn't much that I don't drink or like when it comes to alcohol, with the exceptions of sherry and liqueurs...

    One drink that make me gag now ( because I got totally wrecked on it) is Slivovitz -I drunk it just the once in Eastern Europe (homemade stuff) after a load of beers, I was ill for days- never ever again!

    Guinness. Nectar of the gods! Can't quite grasp the idea that anyone would want to drink anything else!

    I mean, what the ****s that all about?

    I can honestly say I don't enjoy the taste of any alcohol. It changes me as well and I don't like what it does to people. It brings out everybody's inner animal. Much prefer a coffee any day <ok>

    I prefer it neat like. Pissing about with energy drinks is just a waste of time. If I'm getting into that I defiantly don't need perking up.

    funnily enough if or when I drink coffee the caffeine sends me to ceiling -end up 'speeding' for want of a better expression- I may drink it once or twice a month, and only if I need a quick'pick up'
