We call it a Mickey Finns (no idea why) or a top shelfer (obvious why).

Never had one myself, but bought someone else one. Needless to say he was asleep by 11.30
 
I've had a dirty pint on my last two birthdays (18th and 19th), £20 worth in each, they aren't that bad if you can handle your drink and make for a good night. :cool:

Although I did have a habit of falling over those nights, but sleeping? No chance.
 
The Whiskey Gods have turned their backs on this thread. Oh and the OP has made bay Jesus cry to...


Something about Ceiling Cat as well for good measure...

At someones 21st, the birthday boy was given 2 of these. Passed out halfway through drinking the second one.

And it was about £36............ (this was back in 1998)

Was staying at a mates a while back, and another lad was coming down after spending the night on the town with some guys from his work.

He was absoulutly smashed when he finally got there, he'd been drinking normally all night, when (and i can't remember what they called it) he had;

All four aftershocks, large shots... large southern comfort topped off with guiness... never seen a guy in such a state :p
 
Aftershock does nothing.



Then again, I drank a whole bottle on my tod one new years eve........

I hope all you people that are saying "whiskey" are referring to Irish Whiskey and not Scottish Whisky.

True - Scottish Whisky is always spelt without an "e" = Whisky. And Irish is spelt Whiskey :D
 
Yeah Aftershock is one of those things you all think is hardcore when you're getting wasted on Apple Sourz and thinking you're cool.

Well I've certainly learned something new today ;) Then again I prefer Vodka myself, if we're talking spirits.

most in ireland ask for Locke's, John Powers, Paddy, Bushmills, Green Spot, Black Bush,Tullamore Dew, Jamasons :D

The Irish and Scotish ways of making it

Malting


Irish Whiskey differs from Scotch in the malting stage. In the making of Scotch whisky, malted barley is dried over peat fires. Thus allowing smoke from the peat to penetrate the barley, This is what gives scotch whiskies their distinctive smokey flavor. In the making of Irish Whiskey malted barley is dried in closed ovens. The barley never comes in contact with smoke, so the true malted barley flavor shines through with no smokiness.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mashing


The process of grinding the grain into grist and then mixing it with water to produce wort are the same for Irish and Scotch Malt whiskeys
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fermentation

Once again the same basic process applies to both Irish and Scotch Whiskeys. Yeast is added to convert the liquids' sugars into alcohol
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Distillation

During this stage the alcohol with a lower boiling point than water is steamed off. The shape of the still contributes to the final character of the finished product and in Ireland the stills are generally larger than Scottish ones.
Generally, Scotch whiskies are distilled only twice. Irish Whiskeys, however, are usually but not always triple distilled. Because each stage of distillation increases the purity and smoothness of the whiskey, This is what makes Irish Whiskey particularly pure and smooth.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Maturation

Once again the process of making Irish or Scotch is similar in that during the final stage of the process the whiskes is transfered intto casks to mature for the required number of years, three is the legal minimum, but some whiskeys are left for many years more.
