Wall Street drink: your fav one?

Amazing Brunello! Italian wines are incredible. In my canteen I've one Sassicaia ready to be open..

Really good!

Craig McDermott:

Amstel Light and Tullamore D.E.W.

If Amstel isn't available I'll do a Stella draft.

Stella, a beer that breeds nothing but fights

Try it, is incredible during the dinner ;-)

For all the rising college juniors at home, tell us - will tiger penis bone dust give them what it takes to get a summer internship at Goldman?

I hear MBB only hires you if you drink MD 20/20.

Anybody else want to weigh in?

I didn't realize consultants had an entirely different drink menu.

This is stupid. Do you really think your tastes change once you become a consultant? There is no new type of alcohol exclusive to consultants. It's all the same just different brands and prices.

I go with whatever Jon Taffer created

So, tell me what brands you prefer when it's all expensed... I don't see what's so difficult here?

Caipirinhas only. Otherwise you'll get canned

I like a "Who gives a shit?", shaken with a slice of orange peel.

If you like to drink cosmos, drink them and forget the haters. If you like 25 year single malt, then drink it. Don't be a YES-man.

The answer is really the same as the other drinking threads. Drink similar things to what the client or senior people are drinking. If the client orders a beer and you get two fingers of 21 year old single malt you're gonna look like a prick. Also, have a couple go to beers and one or two mixed drinks/cocktails you can order confidently on demand because neither the client nor the waiter/bartender wants to wait 5 minutes while you stumble through the drink menu.

consultants drink whatever the clients are drinking, just like analysts drink whatever the MDs drinking, just like brokers drink whatever the wholesaler's buying.

stop.

these.

threads.

When flying Southwest Business Select (99% of the time for my geography), I'm partial to hot chocolate with Bailey's... the manliest of drinks.

Otherwise I drink the same stuff as I did before being a consultant.

What a bizarre thread.

Ditto what a lot of the sensible people here have already said --> look at the setting you're in; don't order something fancier than what your client or partner are drinking; generally always safe to go with a beer (as long as you dont ask for a natty light and as long as you're not in the middle of a wine tasting); don't order liquor you can't handle.

Most importantly, don't stress the small stuff - be confident in what you order, otherwise people will make fun of you no matter what you ordered

The trend is always less and better, so microbrews and decent albeit not extravagant scotch (Glenfiddich 15), Max of two drinks.

Sold. Trying one tonight.

+1 on the Amaretto one, that is simply awesome.

+1SB loved the post very thoughtful but you should include a notice that Lagavulin is not for beginners as most users on this site will be still drinking ras-margaritas lol the best way I can describe it in my own words is campfire in a glass..I would not start the evening with this but rather end it.

I think the problem with Whiskey is that people start drinking it without understanding that all though it is considered as you mentioned an Alpha Drink it should be treated as a journey in which you connect your mind and emotions with and it should not be forced whether for perception or something else. I personally and strongly believe that you should have a connection with a drink same as when eating a food that brings memories back from childhood. For example when I pour my favorite whiskey its not a drink but a flash back to my child hoods days as my dad and uncles who after a hard day of work with their rough hands smelling like a hardwood store, sawdust, and pipe smoke would sit enjoy a drink. However I am always looking to create new memories with friends and family and by drinking different types of whiskey which I am later able to correlate that drink to that memory.

I have recently started tasting Japanese Whisky I like to think of it as a distant cousin of Scotch since its production methods are very similar but you can taste the floral even dare say fruity aspects that make it very distinct in short lighter and more subtle.

For all those interested here is a short and sweet break down of Whiskey from an online site that sums of perfectly different types of whiskey and their characteristics.

American whiskey — tends to be sweeter than other whiskies. American whiskies must be distilled in America and aged in barrels in order to be labeled as whiskey (usually for two years, but not always). Breaks down into the further subcategories: Bourbon — distilled from at least 51% corn. Rye — distilled from at least 51% rye. Tennessee — bourbon that is distilled in Tennessee and filtered through charcoal.

Scotch whisky — tends to have smoky and earthy flavors. Distilled in Scotland, from mostly barley, and aged at least 3 years. Breaks down into further subcategories: Blended Scotch — literally just a blend of one or more Scotch whiskies. Single malt Scotch — distilled at a single distillery from malted barley.

Irish whiskey — tends to be light-bodied, but more robust than Canadian whiskey. Distilled in Ireland, aged at least 3 years.

Canadian whiskey — tends to be light-bodied and fruity. Distilled in Canada and aged at least 3 years. They are typically blends.

Ahahah bro while you're stopping yourself on appearance I'm drinking my fucking appletini with my model from Paris. LMAO
