what do Alabamans drink?

we're having a game-watching party tomorrow. being that every person invited is a Texas Aggie like myself, we're rooting for Bama, of course. we've got the tp rolls and Tide detergent for decoration. I've got my hat, FI's roommate has his shirt. we're just ordering pizza to eat, but I want to play bartender. I thought of making mint juleps thinking, "hey, that's Southern, right?" but is it just a Kentucky thing? I might just break out the bourbon and make sure we have enough coke on hand for mixing.

Re: what do Alabamans drink?

  • Mint Juleps are Kentucky. 

    Alabama Slamma?
  • Bud light
    Miller Light
    Mich Ultra
    Wine
    These are the things my friends and I drink, we are in MS.

  • possibly. that requires a run to the liquor store though. I don't have sloe gin, Southern Comfort (although I love that stuff-I can drink it straight out of the bottle), or amaretto. I'll keep it in mind, thanks!

  • Red drinks.  Have red beer on hand.  Make red cocktails.

    Roll Tide!

  • 1. I'm  a member of the class of 2004 :)

    2. to answer your question, I assume it's whatever they sell at the store next to the hangin' tree.
  • Lala, that is fantastic.  Thank you for that.  I can now go home and laugh my ass off.

  • lala, I love that pic in your siggy. FI and I are seriously considering copying that next year because we're lazy.

    beer is a given.

    smokey, just add red food coloring to whatever? or grenadine? red bourbon and cokes, hmmm...

  • pooh, this is may be weird, but have you already graduated? if not, we may be in the same town. creeeepy!
  • oh! have you ever mixed beer and clamato? it's pretty good. gives you hearburn like a mad mo fo, but good.
  • I was thinking of red food coloring (for the beer anyway).  For the cocktails, use grenadine, cranberry juice, tomoto juice (bloody marys), etc. 

    I would imagine that Alabamans drink Natural Light or Pabst Blue Ribbon so I don't have a good recommendation besides color.

  • Or use the clamato to make cheladas like Lala is recommending (clamato can also be used for bloody caesars).

  • I graduated in 2006, so we were in school together at the same time, whoop. there is a chance we could have met. I'm actually STILL in CS getting another degree, can't wait to get the eff out of this town.

    sorry, I didn't realize at first you meant A&M c/o '04, I initially thought you meant Bama c/o '04.

    no heartburn for me, ever. I've heard of mixing those two together, but never been adventurous enough to try it. leatherneck, sure no problem, beer and clamato, ehh...

  • what's a bloody ceasar?
  • Bloody Caesar = Bloody Mary except with clamato instead of tomato juice.  Apparently, Canadians love these things (so says my Canuck BF).  He tries to order them all the time and gets the side eye from the bartender.

  • WTF is clamato?  It sounds like an STD.
  • clamato is tomato juice with CLAM juice.  It tastes like really salty tom juice to me.

  • I like bloody marys. we have the mix, but no vodka. yes, FI's liquor cabinet is total suckage--he and his roommates buy rum, tequila, sweet and sour, margarita mix, and like random girly mixes that are never opened. the only reason we even have bourbon is because of me. my liquor cabinet is much better.

    my Canuck stepdad just likes Old Milwaukee's Best Light. *shudders* I'll have to buy a keg of that for our wedding just to keep him and my dad happy.

  • I hear clamato leads to pink eye.
  • Make Bloody Marias with your tequila.  Do you have strawberry mix to make straw margs?

    Bourbon neat is a classic southern treat.  However, I have a feeling your friends may not be too keen on just bourbon...

    wow, I was just going to go with wearing red/ maroon for the "game". (I really don't see it being much of a game.)  but the colored drinks are not a bad idea.

    oh and yay for other b/cs'ers!  I am class of '08, and will be getting married in Bryan once I finish my 2nd degree

    Clam juice.  Now it sounds even more like an STD.
  • I've got the clamato and now I've gotta go see Doc Henry.

    Sounds like something an Alabaman might say....
