irish rum is really strong ._.
heiniken or what ever that green crap is, is sooo gross.
What is your favorite?

Depends on the proof, lots of alcohol from lots of places have different proofs! Learning how proofs work(alcohol content by volume) is an important step in being a responsible drinker!!! Heineken is a lager and has a skunky fizzy taste thats pretty watery. Moosehead is better.

AND IT WILL PREVENT YOU FROM HAVING A BAD DRINK AND A BAD TIME!

HARD ALCOHOL
Most common is 40% Alcohol by volume, or 80proof. Basically look at the bottle or whatever and double the %age and thats the proof number!

Examples would be Bacardi, Smirnoff, Captain Morgan, Jose Cuervo, Jack Daniels.

Local, imported, or select hard alcohol can come in ranges a little below to higher than 40%.

100proof is popular with whiskey and rum, like Wild Turkey or Captain Morgan 100proof. Beefeater is close to 100proof and is a good gin.

Higher than that are the extremes of hard alcohol, such as Bacardi 151(151proof). 151 proof is almost two shots in one in terms of alcohol content(80proofx2=160), so you need to drink less of these.

FUN FACT! Around 100proof and up, alcohol is in such a high percentage in a shot that they will be flammable! BE CAREFUL YOU CAN SET EVERYTHING ON FIRE.

WINE AND SPIRITS
Wine is weak-sauce in terms of alcohol by volume, the highest being around 14%(which is when the alcohol created by the yeast will in turn kill the yeast). You can easily down a bottle, but it will catch up to you soon enough, and isn't very fruity or appealing to a kid's pallet.

Spirits are what you mix with actual alcohol to create mixed drinks, these usually are low in alcohol content and shouldn't be consumed by themselves because that is lame.

Mixed drinks using spirits will make your drink stronger, and thus you cannot consume too many of these too fast or bad things will happen(like ghosts and vomiting).

Sake! It is made very similar to how wine is made, but uses a fungi, so it can reach higher proofs than wine(but not much higher). Dry sake is best for inexperienced drinkers.

BEER
Beer is the cheapest purchase one can make when buying alcohol, thus is the most popular. Its got a low alcohol content by volume(anywhere from 3-9%), but has a lot more volume than a shot, so it evens out. Its more filling than a shot, so its harder to over-drink with beer, as you'll soon be peeing every 2 minutes.

Beer has the most leverage in terms of flavors, so theres more of a chance you'll find a brew you like than a kind of rum, vodka, etc. THO ALL WILL BE BITTER.

THE LAW
General american law concerning alcohol is having one drink per hour, being 1 beer, or 1 shot(since by volume they both have about the same alcohol content, unless you are having a strong shot higher than 80proof).

Your BMI(Body mass index) will alter how many drinks you can handle, tho its always best to keep tabs on what you've dranken and how long its been. Sometimes you won't feel the effects, so you'll go for another one. THEN BAM BOTH HIT YOU AT THE SAME TIME OH NOES.

Thats all for now!
