I'm bored of beer, plus its full of carbs and oestrogen, so I'm seeking a manly alternative to beer.
 
Not really keen on the taste of whiskey so that's off the tables.


So far I've settled on red wine, but its still got a bit of a stigma up here of being a froo-froo drink, so buying it on a night out makes people think I'm either a poof or a Tory - the later could result in me getting stabbed...

Well, here's a list of various alcohols I know of:


Cider
Gin
Scotch
Perry
Ale
Port
Vodka
Ethanol (Probably a bad idea)
Stout
Mead
Pisco
Brandy
Cognac
Lager




Any ideas out of them?

[Bauglir]

Mead is good. Drink it before it finishes fermentation, while it's still slightly bubbly and sweet, if you want MANLY RAGE DRINK. Drink it about a year after fermentation finishes and it's gone still, been bottled, etc. if you want MANLY ELEGANCE DRINK. There's a good chance you'll have to make your own, depending on where you live and what types are available, though. This can be a notable downside.

Most bars will serve cider, so if your worried about looking out of place when you order a glass of red wine, go for the cider rout. I love the stuff!

[zombat]

Cider and larger have the same problems as beer, namely the high carb content (trying to cut down on the gut) and lady hormones. Ciders too sugary, makes my teeth feel like they've melted.

What country do you live in?

Are we talking pub or home drinking?

[KaelGotDwarves]

Have you tried Bourbon instead of normal whiskey?

[GlyphGryph]

They might be considered a bit girly, but only by losers :  Margaritas and Sours (Midori, Vodka, and Whisky are all good choices. Or you can mix and match!)

[Coolnesstod]

Be a dwarf and mix ale and beer, tastes so god damn good.

[Stargrasper]

I never liked beer and there's only a few liquors I've tried that I liked.  Personally, I favor wine.

I suppose the question is, why do you want to drink?  A lot, including what you drink and when (as well as how often) depend on that.

[Montague]

Try bourbon with ice and some water, thats how I drink it and I used to not like bourbon much. Or use a mixer like ginger ale.

I'd also suggest gin and grapefruit juice. Maybe vodka if you don't like the juniper berry smell of gin. One, its not unhealthy and two you hardly taste the liquor. The second point has the potential of being a very dangerous qualify if you are not careful.

Jagermeister and ice. It makes you want to kill caribou with your bare hands.

Also, I like a Vokda Cran now and again. One of the girly drinks of lesser girliness.

Only idiots think of something as a "froo-froo" or "girly" drink. Ignore them. There are only good drinks and bad ones. Except Smirnoff Ice, seriously, fuck those douchebags that drink it.

[GlyphGryph]

Also, in what possible way is red wine a girly drink? I mean, there ARE wines I could understand people calling a girly drinks, even if its stupid, but I can't think of a single red that has any justification in falling under that banner.

Why, if I ever found a pot of gold, I'd buy bottles untold of the nectar of the vines...

Where do you live?

Try different beer, if you're just bored of beer. Belgian beer are delicious.
As far as alcohol goes, vodka is manly, raki can be good, but their respective qualities depend on where you live a lot.
My first idea would search what kind of alcohol are produced locally and try them(ps : mead is delicious).
