Favorite drinks while bowling?
« on: August 22, 2013, 10:16:38 AM »
I was going to put this in the non-bowling related forum, but it applies to bowling I believe.  Lots of people drink to relax, calm nerves, slow the mental hamsters down, etc.  A lot of people drink different things while they're bowling than they do either beforehand or afterwards, and I was wanting some new ideas.  One of my favorites that the bowl doesn't offer anymore is called a Firecracker 500 (slightly modified).

1 shot Absolut 100
1 shot Bacardi 151
1 shot Wild Turkey
1 shot Southern Comfort
Spritz of Sprite/Sierra Mist
Bit of Grenadine
Bit of Hot Damn

Missing is the green Chartreuse, which they never had, and since the bowl doesn't carry Wild Turkey anymore, sadly I can't get it.  I had them add Hot Damn because it already tasted like cinnamon, and the HD put it over the top.  Had to be served in a tall draught mug, and just one of these got me feeling gooood.  I'm either thick blooded or have a real controlling brain because it takes a lot to get me a good buzz, so I'm looking for something strong so I don't have to drop 20 bucks for a buzz.  I don't like doing shots, comes on too stiff and quick, I like a drink.  And please no one say long island iced tea . .

Kind of depends which type league I am in.

One league is not much of a money league and I generally don't do as well on the lane conditions in that house, so it's anywhere from 0-4 beers. The other league IS a money league and I match up better with the conditions, so I'm pretty serious and always start off drinking nothing at all.

If I'm doing very well or very well I will drink to keep myself calm or to get my ass in gear.  If I'm really sucking big-time, it calls for a Jägerbomb, or two.

Sometimes it works miracles, and sometimes it seems to fire up my teammates more than it does me.   :)

We share pitchers of what ever beer is cheapest that isn't coors light or bud light. On nights i don't drive, shots of 101 wild turkey are in order.

For 3 game league, yes.

For 8 game, tournament, no. Coke, 7-Up, seltzer if they have it, maybe coffee or Mountain Dew,  if I feel really weak for some reason.

well the alley I bowl at has 8 draft beers and most of them are mediocre to bad so I drink Miller light on draft. It's actually not bad on draft and I can't stand Coors and Bud Light. I used to drink Shiner then they replaced it with Samuel Adams and was ecstatic. Then they went back to Shiner because they could get it for cheaper but still charge the same price. >:(. So one day I got sick of Shiner and started Miller Light.  Another house I bowl part time league at I drink Samuel Adams on draft.

I didn't realize people actually drank O'Doul's.

Trying to win money in pots and points for my team, I don't cloud my mind, reflexes or my muscles with alcohol.  Makes no sense.  After bowling I'll have a beer with my team because when I'm trying to drive home, I feel the same way about clear mind, and reflexes.  I don't know of any sport, including bowling, that the effects of alcohol enhances your performance. 

I'm with you.

So many here want bowling to be considered a sport but try to get snockered on the lanes.

I'll drink water or a soda.
