Sounds like you had quite an interesting birthday. We used to play slap cup in my fraternity when I was in undergrad (and still do occasionally when some of us get back together). Very fun/amusing game, but at the same time, a very quick way to get piss drunk if you're not skilled at bouncing a ping pong ball into a solo cup.
I played for the first time this year, and let's just say it wasn't a good idea to be standing between the two best players at the table =/ once you start playing and understand how it's so much fun to just run a train on one person and never even let them bounce their ball. Cleaning up afterward sucks though.
To answer your earlier question, silver. I used to be all about the tequila (shitty Jose was my favorite. I was young, I didn't know any better. Patrón silver is where it's at now though...) But I don't drink tequila anymore. Bad things happen when I do.
... should I venture into the depths of the profile description?
PLZ DO.
KINDA DISAPPOINTING NO CAPS.

Yesterday was one of the best days I've had in awhile. I turned in my final paper so I was done with finals at 9am for the rest of the week, then I got to go home and sleep for awhile. Had a nice little wake and bake, listened to a shit ton of D'angelo and played a couple hours of Mario Baseball and Super Strikers on gamecube. My roommates didn't even know who D'angelo was so it felt pretty exciting being the one to show them the Untitled video for the first time. (Side note: people who get mad at someone for not knowing something are the worst. You should feel honored that you get to be the one to explain it to them or show it to them for the first time and share that experience with them.) Then I cooked myself a nice dinner (PANCAKES and eggs over easy. Also, I told my roommates that my mom makes scrambled eggs with water if we didn't have a lot of milk and they looked at me like I'd just risen from the dead.) Then we had an argument over skim milk versus all the other kinds (they said skim milk is basically water, but I've been forced to drink it for so long I don't even think about it. I do still like 2 percent though. Damn mom trying to keep me healthy.) We agreed it doesn't matter because chocolate shits on everything else. Before I go on, I remember someone said they don't understand how people like eggs. That's fucking insane, eggs make everything better. But there's no reason to hate on what someone doesn't like I guess, so give me your eggs if I ever eat with you.
People close to me know that my alcohol of choice is tequila, so for my birthday (I just realized I didn't put that's another reason my day was so great, oops lol) two of my roommates got two fifths of sauza for all 8 of us to finish before we went out. We drank tequila and played about 6-7 games of slap cup (if you don't know what this is look it up, it's my favorite drinking game) and left for the bar. I know I've talked about it in the Drunken Rambling thread, but on Wednesdays there's a bar that has fifteen cent beer and live music, so I was pretty elated that my birthday was on a Wednesday this year. Someone paid for my cover, and the band this week played 90's and early 2000's rap/hip hop/r&b songs. Stayed out for awhile, went home with some girl (which was awkward because I woke up saying "Where the fuck am I?" because I didn't remember going to her place. She got mad, I laughed.) I didn't remember even walking to her house, which made sense when she said all I did was make out for a little, puke in her restroom and fell right asleep before anything could happen. But I got a morning birthday present from her, I don't know how but you gotta take what you can get I guess. She drove me home, and I got back to another fifth of tequila (this one Jose) with a note that said happy birthday pussy from one of my friends who couldn't go out with me because of his finals, so I was pretty happy about that.
(One last question for everyone: silver or gold tequila? I think I like silver better). I slept for a couple hours, and now I hate alcohol again...well, at least until tonight. Definitely a memorable birthday.
if you are talking about jose, blech, that shiz is sugary garbage. its barely even real tequila. careful calling yourself a tequila drinker and then say you drink jose. thats like saying you are a whiskey drinker because you like SoCo.
blanco (silver) tequilas don't spend any time in wood barrels, and if they age at all its very briefly in a metal (sometimes wood) barrel. these are my favorite if i'm just throwing back shots.
reposados ("gold") are aged up to but no longer than a year in oak barrels. i like these in margaritas.
anejos and extra anejos are aged longer in oak barrels; the longer the aging the darker gold color the tequila. often tequila distillers use old whiskey barrels for extra smokiness and added flavor. these are my personal favorite, and best to just sip on them. (i prefer warm)

I live in arizona, I drink a lot of tequila.
This is good info. I do enjoy a good margarita. It's been a while since I have thrown back any tequila shots ... which is probably good for everyone.

This is random, but I feel like anytime I drink tequila someone ALWAYS points out that they don't drink tequila because they get too drunk or "bad things happen when I do." It's a different drunk, but I don't think it's so different where you should stay away from it for good. This is definitely an unpopular opinion, but I'd rather take a tequila shot with pineapple juice as a chaser as opposed to salt and lime. I feel like I always get the smallest limes, and I'm definitely in favor of chasing my drinks (I don't make enough money to buy nice alcohol that doesn't need chaser =/ hopefully soon), I like to stay on the safe side with shitty liquor. Another bold statement, I think pineapple juice is the best chaser, especially over any soda.

I don't think I've tried enough tequila to say I have a favorite. And like I said before, once I get an actual job I'll splurge and buy nice liquor (including tequila) instead of cheap shit. The jose was just a present from my friend, he just knows I just like all tequila. I agree with the silver for shots and gold for margaritas. I didn't know anything about the aging/storing process for tequila. On my spring break last year I went on a rum distillery tour (nothing big, it was just a local one near Siesta Key, Florida) and I think I remember them saying they used old whiskey barrels for some of their rum too, so it's pretty cool to learn that depending on the tequila it's sort of a similar process. The process of brewing beer/making alcohol really intrigues me. I think when I'm older I'd like to try and brew my own beer. This all started when I turned 21 and my mom offered to drive me and some of my friends around Indianapolis to local breweries just to sample all of their beers and learn about what they do different from other breweries. Is brewing your own beer difficult/expensive? I'm sure someone here knows.

Today at Target on a "Generic Adult Male Gift" endcap was a beer-brewing kit; I think it was like $30 bucks. If you wanted to get into it I'm sure you could spend a ton, but there's gotta be relatively cheap DIY methods out there.

I don't drink tequila because I got stupid fucked up, where my head was straight on but my body was mush. I literally had to be carried home. BUT, I've drank real tequila, at a tequila distillery place in Mexico with real agave and all different flavored and that shit was good. I could drink that stuff, almost bought a bottle home. I get why people drink tequila, but you're right it's one of those drinks that, for some people, once they get super drunk on the cheap stuff, that can't ever really drink it anymore.

The reason I try to stay away from tequila (other than the taste) is because on St. Patricks day in like 2007 or 2008 I was taking a shot of Cuervo and someone made me laugh at the same time. The shot went in, came back up, kinda went out my nose, then I swallowed it back down. That was NOT a pleasant experience. After that I couldn't even smell it without gagging. Before that I would drink Cuervo like it was my fucking job. But the few times since then that I've drank it, I always end up super sloppy drunk. Usually naked and kissing everyone. I've pissed off more than a few people because of my smart tequila mouth. And more than likely making a damn fool of myself. Even more so than I already do. So in general it's just a bad idea for me. Sloppy Drunk Monie is the second worse type of Monie. [the worst is Sad Drunk Monie, but that's not caused by any particular type of alcohol. That just happens from time to time.]
Also, I agree on the pinapple juice. It kills the taste of everything super fast and makes your mouth feel like you're at the beach.

there is a tequila bar I used to go to, and their house shot was a local tequila mixed 2:1 with pineapple juice and infused with a little bit of habanero juice. it was delicious.
if you want a pretty decent tequila that won't break the bank, I like el jimador or familia camarena. generally the blancos are cheaper than reposados, and anejos are the most expensive. Sauza, and believe it or not, kirkland (costco) actually make pretty decent tequila as well, that is definitely college budget friendly. but i would keep in the mixed drinks.
making beer and wine, and a basic level, is pretty simple. don't get the "brew your own beer" kits, they are generally novelty type things. most cities have home brewer's store that will sell a "kit" of the stuff you will need. basically a 5 gallon glass jug, a plug, a thermometer, and a breather. depending on the type of beer, you boil a mixture of malt/barley/oats/hops, etc. and then let it ferment with some yeast in your glass jug. the middle steps and ingredients change based on the type of beer you wanna brew, but thats basically it. at a lot of the homebrew stores sell the a kit that has all the ingredients in the ratios for certain beer types, but a lot of the diversity in beers comes from all the experimentation.
