    Vodka is just as strong as whisky.

    Vodka. I don't even like the taste of it, I just drown it in mixer till I can't taste it anymore.

    If I'm half cut I can force Jack Daniels and coke down my throat but would really rather not. Spirits taste like * in all honesty, they're not pleasant to drink at all.

    Whiskey

    We all know Scottish whiskey is world famous.Do you guys like it then?I normally have it in winter 3-4 doubles a night but it is quite strong.Otherwise I drink our national ''Raki'' which is very similar to Greek Ouzo which has also about 40-50 degrees of alcohol.Has anyone had it before?For those who are coming to the match in İstanbul,I suggest you try it but never have it on an empty stomach as even 3 doubles will be sufficient to make you drunk.

    Anyway,whiskey is my favourite but not in summer.

    I suggest you don't have Raki during the day in the heat.Better stick with it at nights.Raki is served with small dishes that we call''mezes''.Efes is a beer.After we drink raki,we go with beer which we call''polishing'' if that makes any sense to you?:86:

    Whiskey with traditional lemonade and ice is a good summer drink. Wouldn't drink it straight in warm weather either.

    Does anyone get severe hangovers or withdrawals?They can be quite scary!İn my young times it was never a problem but with age,I find that ı get those frequently.High blood pressure is a big issue!
