By the way, this being a very international forum, does anyone have experience with imperial stout? It sounds like it would be something I'd enjoy, but I have my doubts about finding it around here. Thanks!

Rogue makes a fine Imperial stout. It is only available on US west coast though, mostly in Oregon. North Coast brewery in northern California makes a good one too, and it is available across the US, but very pricey and only found in the best stores.

It seems like a fun drink, especially around the holidays. Like drenable fruit-cake. I'm pretty far west, if not that close to Oregon, so maybe I can come across some.

Yes, it's extremely strong. Anywhere from 9% alcohol for the North Coast one, to 11% alcohol for the Rogue brew. Definitely a celebration beer.

I think Sammy Smith's Imperial Stout gets distributed all over. (I've seen it in MD, IN, IL and ID). It's worth a try.

I know Bell's out of Kalamazoo makes a fantastic chocolate stout, but I don't know if they have an imperial.

I find absinth extremely strong from 70% - 95% alcohol, correct me if I'm wrong but I actually think it's baned in US, and It's pretty easy to come by around here.

My drink of choice is "Amarula"... it�s made from an african fruit called "Marula" know as "The Elephant Tree" as elephants love to eat it and gets them drunk... (can you imagine a drunk elephant?)

Anyway, it�s a very sweet drink, and i find it perfect with hot chocolate or even pure...

Pretty sure I read it's more in the 60%-70% range, can't recall. But the reason it is banned is because Uncle Sam doesn't think we should recreationally ingest Artemisia.

We're only allowed alcohol itself, and the wise Puritans among us even tried to take that away, so we shot some of them. >.>

The wiki pages on absinthe are really informative.

And they say US is the greatest place in the world, you can go to war with 18, but you can't order a drink until your 21, that ain't OK.

Believe you me Jim, I drank 90% alcohol absinth, you have a feeling like your puring flames down your throat!!!

I'm pleased to see that my drunken antics have flourished into a grand post about drunken antics all over the world.

The best day of my life I (US Citizen - Texas) was in Germany (forget which city now), and I saw a kid who couldn't have been out of high school (heck, looked like he was 12) carrying a sixer out of the local market.

Now THAT is how to handle booze distribution.
