I'm just starting to drink, any suggestions?!
Answers: I've had smirnoffs and they didn't have too much affect on me, but I'm scared to try something I won't like. I want something a little stronger but won't get me drunk in a shot. Anyone have suggestions?
If you want to stick to malt beverages, I'll suggest Woodchuck Amber Draft Cider (also comes in apple, raspberry and pear). It's not as syrupy as Smirnoff, but it's about the same strength in alcohol content.
If you want to switch to liquor (which has higher alcohol content in smaller amounts), try some simple mixed drinks. You will probably want to start off with vodka or light/flavored rum, as they are lighter in flavor than your darker bourbon, whiskey, or spiced rum. Flavored vodka and Sprite is a good one to start with. Walk into any reputable bar or liquor store and pick a flavor you like, and order it with sprite. Use a rocks glass (short) if you don't want your drink "watered down".
If you eventually want to move to something stronger, might I suggest a Long Island Iced Tea? It's sweet and tangy, and has 4 different liquors in one tall glass ("It'll get you drunk!").
You can never go wrong with rum and coke. BTW, drink some water, all that sugar in Smirnoff's will give you one heck of a hangover.
the best thing in the world.... red bull and vodka.. taste grrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeaaaaaat and keeps you up all night also Bacardi silver is way better and cheaper than smirnoff. bac 5.99 six pack smir 8.99
go with bundy mixers in aust or if ur in usa try bacardi and coke premixed cans, or jim beam and coke mixed cans, dont be scared of something u wont like, just dont have it again and keep on trying new things, most premixed drinks from the bottleshop are decent, or try beer? coronas are a nice lighter beer, have in the bottle with a slice of lemon!.... or midori illusions are great too.
rum and coke or mixed drinks try a cosmo
everclear, bacardi 151 = if u want "affect"
