No more beer

[Davy Crockett]

I like beer but it doesn't like me so looking to change things up for summer camping trips and outings. I almost want to puke when I smell whisky so that's out of the question but other than that is there a good tasting water based drink ?
Water base is important, I am shunning beer because if I drink a pounder it seems like my weight goes up a quarter of a pound and Pop is the same way.
I like Spiced rum if I mix it with root beer or coke but not straight While typing this I thought about adding sugar free kool aid for flavor in mixed drinks, Has anyone ever tried that ? Coffee and water are my main drinks of choice so I tried mixing rum with coffee once and it was horrible. I googled it there is a lot of information online but most always mixes with Pop or juice.

Sorry , I had to !
All kidding aside I get more blitzed drinking wine coolers than anything else . Quicker anyway .

Mikes hard lemonade

Why not just stick to water and coffee? Or perhaps i'm not following the direction of this post very well... If you have to drink to have fun then you may not be having as much fun as you think. Just my 2 cents!

I have a buddy that does kool aid or crystal light with rum, says it makes him feel like a pirate while ice fishing. I myself have started to enjoy decent quality vodka, svedka or UV, with peach or raspberry ice tea or lemonade so maybe you can try that.

Friend of mine brings those mio flavor things with him to the bar. Orders vodka waters and adds his flavoring.

Before throwing whiskey out as an option.....have you tried the Seagrams Dark Honey on ice?

Excellent sipping drink!

I've tried the other Honey flavored whiskies, but Seagrams is far better imo.

I've seen a lot of folks bring crystal light packets and mix with a vodka n water... one drink that i used to like was called a morgan screwed up... basically just a screw driver with morgan spiced rum....

If your a fan of spiced rum, find some Ron Diaz and give it a try.... that is one that a guy could mix with water and not need to add anything for flavor cuz it's so good. that and it's considerably cheaper than morgan...

oh and, if you like maple syrup, try some Crown Maple mixed with water..... and if your real adventurous, you can pour straight crown over your morning pancakes because it's so friggen good

I'm a 75-year old man in a 32-year old body, so I have a taste for brandy. It has to be E&J, though. You go below shelf of that and you might as well drink straight out of the toilet bowl.

Pepsi-Brandy's are my go-to, but this winter I really, really enjoyed brandy ciders. Nothing fancy with boiling stuff with stuff and letting it sit and then putting it in the fridge to sit some more. Yuck. Too much waiting. Just buy yourself some sider and mix it as stiff as you like with the brandy. They were darn refreshing and mighty tasty.

Dark liquor still has a ton of sugar/calories so losing weight by switching from beer to whisky/brandy/rum is not the right play. As girly as it is, I will sub beer for vodka waters with lime. They are tasty, will help you slim down and still catch a buzz.

 

[shorthairsrus]

Tequila.

 

[3Roosters]

V.S.O.P. over ice with a touch of water. Enuff said

Red's Apple Ale

 

[BDub]

Gatorade and Powerade. Coffee for starters.

 

[nxtgeneration]

Vodka (not college grade vodka) and water with a fresh squeeze of lime. Neighbor at the lake drinks Captain Morgan and red powerade. He says it tastes great but i haven't gotten brave enough to try it.

Kahlua, Baily's, or RumChata in your coffee is an alternative also. I mix either Baily's or RumChata in my morning (French vanilla) coffee once in a while.:;:rockit Remember " You cant drink all day if you don't start in the morning"!! ;:;boozer

If you like beer but it makes you feel bloated, just try a lighter beer. When I'm out deer hunting and I know I'll be drinking heavy with the guys after the hunt, I'll drink Michelob Ultra. You'll get a little crap from the guys but I can drink that stuff all night without the bloated feeling and it's low in alcohol so don't usually get so freaking drunk.

 

[Bri-guy]

vodka tonic with a lemon squeeze is a great summer drink.

 

[johnr]

Ice cold Busch Lights my friend, never bloated, never bitter beer face.

Vodka and orange juice, or lemonade, or even cranberry juice is light and refreshing, like a massingill.

I'm a sucker for gin and tonics, too. But if you haven't already tried Hendricks, don't. Because once you do, it's all you'll be satisfied with. And it's damn expensive.
