Wall Street drink: your fav one?
Monkeys,
Just for fun, I would like to know how and what do you drink.
Personally I love Apple Martini or red/white wine during the dinner
Hennessey - Remy Martin after dinner
Night out with table Dom Perignon, Belvedere or Patron, obviously
Enjoy
Those are all great. I feel like I could benefit from switching up my drinks once in a while
I'd always just alternate between either a manhattan, jack and coke, or brunello di montalcino if it was for a dinner. I can't wait to see what everyone else goes with :)
Amazing Brunello! Italian wines are incredible. In my canteen I've one Sassicaia ready to be open..
Spanish gin and tonic man, it's so good. I love absinthe too, always a rowdy night with absinthe.
Mostly whiskey, but I'm all over the place on weekends (shots of whatever, beer, cocktails, etc..). During the work week, I'm an alcoholic by AA/Catholic standards - two glasses of bourbon on the rocks, or three margaritas on the rocks, or two moscow mules...just depends what I'm in the mood for.
Amstel Light and Tullamore D.E.W.
If Amstel isn't available I'll do a Stella draft.
Really good!
Stella, a beer that breeds nothing but fights
Appletinis are gay
Try it, is incredible during the dinner ;-)
Golden eagle tears imported from the Mongolian Steppes. I mix in some tiger penis bone dust as well for virility.
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?
It can't hurt.
Lol I know a kid who works at GS who when he got hammered told us he got his job because he did some satanic rituals and sacrificed a goat or some shit to will it to happen
I have no preference, I'm a social drinker.
What are you drinking these days? (Originally Posted: 02/11/2018)
I have been loving Japanese Whiskeys. I love them. Recently got back from Ireland and had the chance to visit some distillery's and had a blast. I will be in London in May. Does anyone have any suggestions on Gin distillery's? Really want to check out Guy Richies spot. What have you been sipping on?
Mostly Belgian beers (abbey ales, trippels, Trappist ales), single malts, and American rye whiskey.
Drink Preference for Consultants? (Originally Posted: 08/07/2014)
I know there are many threads on WSO about drink preferences, but I am curious to find out what your opinions are on drinks specifically among consultants. I'm coming out of undergrad so I'd like to get out of the "college party" phase of drinks, haha. What do you prefer to drink? Does it vary by event and who you're with? All comments are welcome, thanks!
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?
Here's a tip: the real world is nothing like House of Lies (great show though).
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.
Come on dude. You know consultants drink rose or drinks with umbrellas, bankers drink gasoline, PE guys drink bourbon and PWM guys just try to get their clients drunk to commit more money to them so it doesn't matter what they're drinking as long as the potential client is drinking grain alcohol.
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.
I consider myself a whiskey man bourbon to be more exact...nothing is better than coming home from a long day pouring myself two fingers of Woodford Reserve or Maker's Mark in a nice heavy glass with a sphere ice cube going outside to smoke a nice cigar or some pipe tobacco.
I would also suggest this drink for all my whiskey fellas out there. It's called the Godfather
Sold. Trying one tonight.
Let us know how it tastes! Im all for simple drinks that taste great and do not require a chemistry set.
+1 on the Amaretto one, that is simply awesome.
Glad you liked it also while in most cases scotch is used you can play around to get different variations...bourbon goes great with it as well.
Most of the time, I just go with a Horse's Neck. It was called "the drunkard's drink" by Ian Fleming, so I guess I'm doing something right.
Let's define this further. By "Wall Street" drink I'm assuming you mean a drink that proves how "alpha" you are. It is a drink that you believe furthers the perception of 'you' the dealmaker, and if you have been doing it for a while it is actually a drink you actually like and not part of some elaborate facade to impress other people.
Scotch-the drink of a serious man. Typically not served as a sidecar like bourbon or whiskey is, and usually served neat or with 1-2 cubes of ice. It is a drink meant to be savored for its complexity and harshness(at first). There is a reason kids drink wine coolers and jungle juice, and there is a reason that men drink scotch. To a kid the sweetness of the alcohol represents to them life, to be young and ripe; even that so-so looking girl at the party is hotter when you are young primarily because youth is attractive in and of itself. The adult chooses scotch because the "juicy" part of life has past and you should not dwell in it. You learn to savor the complexities in life because at this stage life has become more complex, you have added a girlfriend, fiance, mortgage, and maybe even child. There is no immediate sweetness, rather everything at this point is hard earned, and you take relief that your scotch doesn't give up an inherent sweetness. You get the saccharine flavor of the scotch after acquiring its strong taste, and just like life the strong taste slowly fades as she unfolds its hints of vanilla and cherry mixed with peat and smoke. Every pleasure in life at this stage is bittersweet and so you learn to love the sweetness with the hint of smoke. It is a drink that makes kids wince, and you savor it because you are a man.
Lagavulin '16 is a gem.
+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.
Lagavulin is pretty accessible. Laphroaig is a completely different story.
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.
yo youre gay but my answer to "how" is "binge" mild alcoholism whatitdooooo
edit: lol bro i came back to make fun of you bro a fucking apple martini? do you ask the barman to stir it with the tip of his cock? do you ask him to graze the surface of the drink with his fucking nutsack? do you go give rimjobs for free in the bathroom while you wait for the drink to be made? i said for free because thats worse than if you did it for money. people gotta eat b
Ahahah bro while you're stopping yourself on appearance I'm drinking my fucking appletini with my model from Paris. LMAO
are you bragging about the geographic location and occupation of your... your who, exactly? do you own this lady? is this a real lady or is this hypothetical? does she know she's your model? are the french even known for having hot chicks? i thought they were known for having hairy chicks and being pretentious. who brags about the occupation of their bitches? what guy is like, "bro im fucking this chick. she's an actuary. shit's fucking incredible."
and bro I wear fucking Vibram five fingers and fanny packs believe you me I don't do jack shit for appearances. i genuinely am disgusted by your feminine taste. can you even get drunk off an appletini? how many does it take to get a buzz? do they come in the martini glass with the tall stem? now do you hold it by the stem or the glass part? do you fucking trace the rim with your pinky fingertip as you plan on your phone, looking at google finance very non-discretely trying to look like a man of means?
Hahahaha +1.
oh and white wine is for fucking fruitcups bro, you can hande a grap skin? a grape skin is what fucking sends you over the edge? man go hang yourself with a shoestring and dont leave a note man nobody cares
White wine is for every single early 30's chick I've ever met in NYC.
Not dudes, EVER.
At a dinner it pairs nicely with fish or chicken.
But assuming you are ordering it at a bar, yeah nah. Unless you order a Peter Michael chardonnay, baller.
Red wine bro
Absolutely true
I'm italian I can drink everything I want because I don't fucking care. This is the difference from me and you
it's the fact that you want to
I think we're all on the same page here that the word faggot is not going away. I say gay too and enjoy it. I did recently learn the origins of the word faggot from one of the latest JRE episodes. Apparently, they would call a bundle of sticks a faggot and carrying a bunch of fucking wood after you chop it is burdensome. So then they started calling women who were being burdensome faggots. And then they started calling men who were acting like a burdensome woman (little bitch) faggots. so basically, you're annoying and burdensome if you're a faggot.
So at the end of the day, South Park got it right and Harley riders are perfectly described by the word "faggot".
But who the fuck knows man I didn't fact check that shit and neither did Jamie I'm guessing.
so anyway. youre a faggot cause you act like a bitch and that bothers men because deep down, they know that if shit hits the fan and we gotta band together and find food and shit, you would be a fucking loudmouth and get us all killed somehow and it puts people on edge
*delete *
Old Fashion on the rocks
Chopin Martini, up, lemon twist. Just wave the vermouth over the shaker please. Chilled glass done...ok maybe two more.
Bowmore 12, a nice IPA, or an old fashioned if I have to actually last a whole night. I don't know if I could live through being seen with an appletini though.
If you don't order everclear neat you are a fucking pussy.
Another way to prove you're a man is to order a tall glass of rubbing alcohol
I've done both, only recommend shooting everclear.
FratLord?
Taaka vodka and store-brand cola baby. $100 will get you 10 handles, which should last you roughly the first two hours of a tailgate.
Passion tea lemonade...gotta show the other analysts who's the real alpha male
Gin & Tonics, Mojitos, and Moscow Mules.
Woodford rocks. Hold the creatine.
I love a good Malbec.
And whoever mentioned Dom, unless you're just trying to show off, I'd order Moet & Chandon Imperial any day over DP. Tastes way better, imo.
Ice imperial moet is really good. Summer champagne to drink on the beach
Save the money, get a nice Cava or Prosecco.
It will score points with the "right" kind of girl, one who values experiences over money. You want this girl. But if we are talking champagne, Perrier Jouet.
Some people on here come across as such tools, honestly
Drink whatever the fuck you enjoy and don't bother spending a shred of energy obsessing over what someone else is or is not drinking
typically vodka soda...yeah i couldnt care less how unimaginative it is. my 'exciting' beverage is dark n stormy or if i want to make the bartender work for passing me over 6x for fat chix, then long island.
Negroni, Sazerac, Old Fashioned, Dry Vodka Martini
+1 for Negroni, Sazerac. Making me thirsty.
Transfusion
Wait... three measures of Gordon's; one of vodka; half a measure of Kina Lillet. Shake it over ice, and add a thin slice of lemon peel.
Gin & Tonic. Preferably Hendricks Gin.
If i'm just having one or two drinks either a negroni or an IPA / higher alcohol craft beer. If I'm going out for the night its vodka/gin & soda or light beers
Anyone else have a draft beer issue? And by that I mean four can have you tanked and hungover the next day? I'm not exactly sure why, whether it's the compression, carbonation, or god forbid a gluten intolerance(that I will never get checked out). But four/five of those have me feeling drunk.
That being said, I almost exclusively drink jack and coke because I know I won't be hammered after only a few.
Agree. Four drafts is rookie shit.
Could also be an alcohol absence problem. It's possible that the bar serving him Jack and Cokes are actually just serving him Coke
Typically a hefeweizen or red wine. Cab, pinot noir, or chianti. Liquor I do tequila, whiskey, or scotch, but I very rarely drink liquor anymore.
double hendrick's and tonic with cucumber best drink for any occasion, but gin drunk usually leads to a few apology texts the next morning
I guess it depends on the situation.
Relax: a nice red with dinner
Pregame: cheap shitty beer, although I dabble with a nice 40 oz of love every now and then
Going out: vodka to make my Eastern European ancestors proud while performing my best Slav squat. This is usually accompanied with eating pickles and selling acid-washed jeans, pirated movies, and consumer electronics on the local black market
Oh yeah cuz I bet a prospective IB monkey can afford tables of Dom P....the fuck.
During my studies I do public relations for some clubs. Is a good way to save money make contacts and spend good nights
The one where I drink 18 and drunk drive into a cop car
Sus
Liquor: gin, rye, Scotch.
I worked in the wine industry in a previous life, so I have a preference towards that. I lol'd at the discussion above about white wine "being for girls," even though it was clearly sarcasm/trolling. White wine is awesome. If you ignore it, you are missing out on some of the best, most enjoyable wines in the world. Ever had Premier Cru or Grand Cru Chablis/Chassagne-Montrachet/Meursault from a decent producer? What about Albarino from Spain, Pinot Gris from Oregon, Lugana from Italy, Sauvignon Blanc from anywhere in the Loire Valley in France? Ridiculous to deprive yourself when so many restaurants have great wine lists and lots of by-the-glass selections of interesting whites for $10-$20/glass (even the fancy French stuff I mentioned above).
I'm American as fuck, so I only drink Red White and Blues.
Red wine, white rum, blue wave baby. MAGA!!!!!!!!
Wow... I haven't had Blue Wave in years.... not since College.
Natty Light for before and after breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Surprised none one has mentioned this...
Hendricks and tonic with two lime wedges on a side plate because no matter where you drink they don't wash the fruit.
cucumber with Hendricks & tonic is the best
Negroni for cocktails, cognac if it's going to be a long night.
Jesus man you have extremely poor taste.
Generally, I will order a Negroni or Negroni variant, stirred and served up. Not that I don't enjoy it on the rocks, but I would rather it be served without the ice. It's so simple, but I've had many a crappy one from bartenders that don't know what they are doing.
If I really want to test a bartender, I will order a Cosmo. For such a simple drink, it is extremely hard to do right. It's not just about the ingredients, but about getting the measures perfect. As crazy as it sounds, it's how a measure a bartender if it's a place I've never been before that has a reputation for making great cocktails.
I'd rather not say.
I like to play my cards close to vest. You understand.
Whiskey sour is my go to.
Beers when I'm going out, scotch for a night in (paying for scotch at a bar is the WORST), and red wine for a night with a lady or at a networking event.
Bombay Sapphire all day long.
Out and about, White Russian. At work related functions, scotch or whiskey on the rocks.
Red wine h24
Coke and coke, through and through. I decided to get away from the alcoholics because of a bad sore throat that I got from drinking JD in NYE that exacerbated into a pneumonia. Dunno how that happened, but I was fucked for over a month.
Apart from that, I do prefer Turkish and Arabian coffee from time to time, or a rose sherbet for the summers.
131 proof bud, straight up
Belvy, titties, bulleit. Next question
Diet Coke
Bourbon Smash
Guinness
Nothing at all wrong with a properly poured Guinness.
after 2 months in Mex i've found my favorite tequila: 7 Leguas http://www.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/7-leguas-tequila-anejo.ht…
what type of price point we looking at here?
Also, not a fan of casamigos?
