A friend introduced me to a new imbibement. It is Crown Royal and sprite/7-up. Pretty tasty.

Really? You've never done CC and 7 or any whiskey and 7?

No, never, not that much of a drinker.

We used to call that “Gods drink” way too sweet for me now, but back in the day, it was like drinking candy! You could really get hammered drinking it, quick!

Your friend wouldn't happen to rep diabetes medication would he?

It’s good yes

I don’t drink alcohol. It’s really bad for you. I don’t care if you do, and to show how much I don’t care I wanted to post here and tell you all that.

I’m not judging you, but you’re going to hell for it

But I don’t care. Really I don’t.

My dad owned a bar. He used to drink Seagrams VO with 7up or ginger ale, with a shot of club soda to knock down the sweetness. Said he wouldn't waste good Crown on a mixed drink. He called it a VO Press ( short for Presbyterian). Never knew why....

One of the popular drinks at Ban Me Thuot, whistler, was a "seben seben" which is how the bar girls pronounced Seagram's 7 and 7-Up. It was too sweet for me. I think they still make Seagram's 7, but I don't know why.

We can tell

Hey Rocky, I can just hear them saying that. I did not drink even beer, even after a mission. Since I was kind of in charge of our little band I guess I was too afraid of losing my wits and screwing up if something happened. The rest of my little bunch had no such worries though and that was fine.

When I was in Bangkok for a while, I did catch up on the drinking a bit though.

In country I knew a clerk type and we became friends. He had the market cornered somehow on ice and he would only drink different fruit juices. When he knew we were coming in ( when he had time) he would make sure that his cooler was packed with ice and fruit juice. My favorite was V-8 and if possible he would make sure there was a good supply. I would sit there and drink I don't know how many of those small cans. Ice cold and a little bit salty--what a treat!

Pffft!

I was thinking the same thing - mixer!

The other variant was Canadian Club and 7, which the bar girls pronounced "see see seben"

One sad time, the bar ran out of everything but Scotch and root beer. That combo became our "initiation" drink to new FACs or ground crew. (Don't bother; it's horrible.) Our monthly movie shipment was in the same ambushed convoy that carried the booze. So we watched "McClintock" every night for the next month.

War really is hell.

Sad indeed. One thing I just remembered were the safe houses mentioned in another post. Usually a good supply of almost anything.

LOL

Try crown Royal and apple cider thank me later

Mtn Dew and Southern Comfort

Yalls ALL goin to haydes!

Would you like insulin with that?

Honest question-

Why do people always bring up the insulin when something sweet is mentioned?

I get a lot of exercise, for the most part eat right.

I enjoy a coke or a Mtn dew as I dont like coffee.

Go for regular checkups, numbers are always ok.

Why would a Southern Comfort and Mtn Dew require insulin?

mom drank 7&7 in 1970

It's just a joke about sweet drinks, nothing serious.

Gotcha

Thought I might have missed something which would be typical 🤣

For my palate straight Bourbon is sweet enough. So for me, sweetened whiskey mixed with a soft drink is "needs an insulin chaser" over the top.

40 creek is tha cats meow

More Canadian lighter fluid.

Yes, mixing soda pop with Crown will make it drinkable.

Tasting notes for Canadian whiskey often go like this: Reminiscent of indifferently made grain alcohol, flavored with a bit of cheap artificial vanilla extract, and having been used to rinse out an oxidized aluminum can.

Wow! Maybe one should patent that idea. Most certainly, it's an original thought.

Pretty accurate.

Mixing with sugary soda is generally a bad thing with whiskey, but it’s had to ruin “rurn’t”…

Crown peach

Ya'll must have been in the high class joints - for us it was always 'tea' . . . often referred to as "Saigon tea"

VO ain’t bad but it makes my head hurt🤯

man, if you think that's a good drink. next time ask for this new concoction called a Manhattan

Dont take this personal..........

But that sounds like the national drink of kandiazzistan...

Actually, it's nothing more than the classic "High Ball" that everybody drank back in the 50s.

We all have our preferences, but it seems that mathman doesn't care much for Canadian whiskies.

Yep. He's pretty simple that way.

No scheit. Wait til he has his first ever Old Fashioned!

Used to drink the hell out of 7 & 7’s back in jr high.
