How do i take shots of alcohol?

I just cant seem to do shots. I dont know if im doing something wrong or if its just me ?! i think im the only person i know who cant take shots. Any tips or how to's would be helpful.

 

I don't like shots much at all, but don't do them when you are too drunk or too sober...it seems better in the middle.


Also, just throw the shot back, don't let it stay in your mouth long.

But yea, I can sip whiskey or drink cocktails, but I have never liked taking shots

 

I like shots, depending on what they're of.

My usual shots consist of either Jagermeister, Goldschalger, or Rumple Minze. I usually drink these when I am drinking lager.

I am not too keen on whiskey and tequila.

I am not big on hard liquor altogether. I can handle alcohol better than anyone I know, but I prefer beer simply because it's more interesting to my senses.

There are really no tips I can offer. Some people just can't hold their liquor.

But, the more you drink, the more you can drink. I don't exactly recommend it, though.

 

what's the problem, you get the I need to puke reflex or something? Try getting a chaser that masks the taste of the liqour, take a swig, while its still in your mouth take the shot and then finish with a chaser. Its the only way I can get cheap ass Kamchatka vodka down.

 

When I was right around 21, everyone made a big deal out of doing shots of Jaegermeister and alwys at like 1:30 am after drinking for hours. Can't tell you how many times I puked from that!


I think it has a lot to do with me hating anis and liquorice.

I like drinking whiskey, but on the rocks.

 

i usually take a few deep breaths...mentally prepare myself for the shot....and then "throw" the shot back into my throat.....take it all in one big gulp.....take the shot right after you've exhaled your last deep breath.....

that's how i do it......

 

Drink it as quickly as possible and take it all in one big gulp. Just don't think what you're doing.

I like drinking shots, especially tequila shots. In Barcelona there's this really cool bar where they serve nothing but all kinds of different shots. And I really do mean ALL KINDS of shots. The ones I drank were very good.

 

What is that bar called Kosmic, I will check it out next time I go To BCN and I will try not to BLLLAAAHAHAH



Is it in La Rabal? Barri Gothic

 

All hard alcohol is an aquired taste for the most part. Personally, I can't stand fufu type shots like redheaded sluts, jager etc, but most people enjoy them because they tend to be sweeter.

Personally, as I've grown older, the only hard alcohol I enjoy is whisky. Give me a 101 proof bourbon served neet and I'm a happy man. I usually just sip it to enjoy it for awhile, but depending on the company I've been known to whack them down as well.

Start with vodkas, maybe a real smooth one - Dutch vodkas like kettle one tend to be the smoothest. they hardly have any taste at all, so this might help you on to enjoy liquor.

My question is, why do you feel compelled to enjoy shots?

 

Make sure you don't breath in just before you take the shot, keep your mouth closed after the shot and breath in through your nose. The point is not to get fumes in your sinus which will work you over pretty hard. Other than an aversion to the taste, you shouldn't have any problem, and if you do, perhaps you shouldn't do shots.

 

Make sure you set the camera to manual focus, since the infrared autofocus beam is likely to reflect off the surface of the drink (or the glass).

If it's an indoor shot, make sure you have plenty of light, or use a flash. I would also recommend using a faster shutter speed with a larger aperture setting, to give a narrower depth of field and make the drink stand out better against the background.

 

lol to above post. thanks guys. so am i just kinda throwing it to the back of my mouth, close and swallow?? all my buddies seems to just throw it straight down their throat. i do have this gag reflex though. oh and to the person who question why i want to enjoy shots, its not that i want to enjoy them, just when the odd time comes to take shots with a group of buddies i dont want to be the only guy wimping out.

 

ah, the joys of peer pressure

I started with shots of beer to get a feel for it, then worked up to Southern Comfort (yuck), and then moved up to 80 proof and higher, and am never ashamed to use a chaser -- it's better than yakking


anybody ever tried a Blue Mother Fucker? it's Everclear and blue curacao

I've never had a more harsh shot in my life

 

I wish I could remember the name, but I've completely forgotten it (I wonder why... )... I do remember that it's very close to the marina and umm... well that's about it. I'll ask the address next time I talk with some local friends and then I'll let you know, ok? It's definitely worth visiting!
And good luck with trying not to BLLLAAHHAAHAH!

 

umm, following your shot with a lemon slice always works atreat - it's not just good for tequila.

You could also try a cock sucking cowboy - well, thats what they are called here anyway. they are butterscotch schnapps with baileys on top - very very very easy to drink and a good way to work your way up to the more evil shots.

personally, I just can't stand the drinks that mix texture too much - like quick fucks, the midori and baileys together makes my mouth feel all funny and milkily oily.
Give me a tequila shot any day (liek tonight even - we are going to a $2 drinks night, all the shots are $2, as are the chasers )

 

the thought of that combination alone makes me want to hurl

 

Do jello shots! They're quite tasty.


I don't enjoy the taste of whiskey but I drink it a lot b/c it gets me drunk fast and it's the drink of choice of my guy friends. I find it easier to take shots when I'm trying to match them...nothing like outdrinking a guy. But that's usually not a good idea if you're a small person like me.

 

you can shot everything just do it fast and youy get drunk really fast

 

Just open your mouth and completely relax your throat muscles, pour it down and just let it go right down your throat, don't even keep it in your mouth at all. Than, take a nice gulp of fruit juice to get that nasty taste and burning out of your mouth and throat.


Peace and Love,
Dan

 

take a lemon or lime w/e you perfer, and bite it to get the juice in your mouth, then put some salt on the skin between your thumb and pionter and lick it, down the drink as fast as you can. hope this helps
