I’m partial to jagermeister when the occasion calls.

God I hope not. This morning we’re taking the kiddos to stay a week at the grandparents.
I have a full half-gallon of Gentleman Jack and a sack full of limes. By the time Monday rolls around, I seriously plan on being out of both.
Why? Because I can.

Good choice, if you want to REALLY drink (read projectile vomit) then you cant beat a ‘Flying deer’.
4cl Jagermeister
4cl vodka
approx 4cl sparkling wine of choice
Top up with red bull.
Quitting dipping and chewing was easy for me. However Alcohol and bar food (wings, etc) are the hard ones to drop, especially when I get together with all my old college buddies (none of whom work out or eat clean- mostly old fat guys now). I can stay on track easily untill I hang out with them.
I don’t drink much or often but prefer the vino when I do. Chips and homemade salsa or gauc is awesome with a stiff margarita yum yum. Ice cream is a nice treat. Homestyle pizza is one I indulge in at least monthly, sometimes moreso. If I am really throwing out all the stops I’ll have a big ole steak with a pasta side.
Single Malt. Oak. Peat. Smoke. Ahhh…
I am also a sugar junkie. Skittles, jellybeans, rock candy and stuff like that.
A pint of Guiness is good…
Good beer and chocolate get me every time. Not necessarily in that order. I also like wine. I keep my intake to about 4 per week (with dinner).
As for chocolate, as long as I stay away from buying the large bags of M&Ms, I’m pretty good, but I will still have some kind of dessert with a little chocolate 4-5 nights a week. I’m talking along the lines of 2 small scoops of ice cream or 3 small cookies type of dessert. These indulgences keep a light layer of fat on me, but I can still see my serratus and abs somewhat. At 36 yrs old, I can live with that.

Vices? I wouldn’t consider a lot of these things vices. Short of training for a competition, I wouldn’t consider alcohol or a ‘bad’ meal a vice if they’re in moderation and not overly frequent.

I usually pass go after about 5 whiskey & waters, so I can only discern “gradations of taste” for a very short period of time. But I hear cigars and whiskey is quite a treat for the pallate.[/quote]
Oh yes, most definitely.
For my money, my favorite whiskey of all, if I had to only have one, would be an Irish whiskey: Tullamore Dew. Super smooth, and goes well with a fine cigar.
Perhaps those who love the burn of single malt Scotch would think that blasphemy, but it is definitely a great sip.
BTW, the folks in Tennessee take that bourbon/TN thing seriously. It’s all about the sour mash. I was educated (i.e. chastised repeatedly) on this point while in Nashville…
I like a 22 of a good microbrew–lately my favorite has been the Lagunitas IPA, though my regulars include Widmer’s Drop Top Amber, Alaskan Amber, and Dead Guy Ale. As far as the hard stuff, I’m very partial to Southern Comfort on the rocks.
My food vices are beer-battered fish (halibut/cod with lots of tartar) and good mozarella cheese sticks. I’ve never had much of a sweet tooth, but I likes my fatty, fried foods.
I’m a meph addict and I’m starting to think it’s holding back my progress.

I, like many of you, have a vice for good beer. Aka micro-beers.
One I highly recommend is Baltus by Heavyweight Brewing Co in NJ.
Here is the website, they have a beer for every palate.
-
women.
-
beer of whatever gets me to where im at.
-
if im really going good a chaw of kodiak or scaol regular is good for putting me down and out.
-
sour patch kids are amazing.
-
something about qdoba about once a week that i can not stay away from.
-
i buy a vanilla coke once a week for some odd reason… but really its like five sodas in a week because i buy a soda at qdoba and get refills. its probabably like eighteen sodas but hey, i have a few batteries in my stomach that need cleaning anyways.
-
T-Nation all the way.
-
in no particular order.
-
enjoy.
I like pot.
I don’t drink much. But when I do, it’s vodka when I’m good and bourbon when i’m bad.

I’ve pretty much given up drinking, but I still really enjoy a cold beer once in a while. My favorites are Odell’s Easy Street and New Belgiums Sunshine Wheat. I just love wheat beers. If I choose to really drink, you can’t beat Jager Bombs (Jager and Red Bull).
As far as vices I am still working on giving up- buffalo wings. I just love fresh, hot buffalo wings from a local place called Jim’s Wings.

Okay, you live in Colorado correct?
Let me tell you, come to Buffalo, NY. Doesn’t have to be a long trip - maybe just a weekend - and eat chicken wings (they’re not fuckin buffalo wings, alright?!) at a few restaurants here.
Then tell me about your addiction to chicken wings. Hell, if you think you’ve got it bad now, you’ll probably have to go to chicken wing rehab after you come here.
Cheetos and DR. Pepper
Premium or boutique beers, especially those from Europe.
Red Wine - especially shiraz varieties from South Australia - good stuff, the “French paradox” thing about red wine being good for your heart doesn’t hurt in making it more tempting!
Gourmet pizzas - heaps more variety than the usual Pizza Hut, Dominos etc, and a “little” bit more healthy as well, depending on your topping of choice.
The home made gelato at my one of my favourite italian restuarants.
