It's friday afternoon, and that means beer time is coming and WoW time.

What is your favorite drink while playing WoW?
Beer:27 (30.3%)
Wine:5 (5.6%)
Liquor:16 (18.0%)
non-alcoholic:41 (46.1%)
Total:89


My favorite at the moment is Segram's Rum + coke. I tend to solo or battleground while drinking if no one else is on. Mostly solo as poor reactions are bad for battlegrounds. I'll also kitty DPS in my tank spec in 5-mans with friends, those are some of my favorite times... Smiley: lol

What's your favorite drink for WoWing with, and what do you do?

Non-alcoholic drinks are welcome as well; anything that helps you unwind and have a good time! Smiley: grin

Beer, though I usually don't drink too much at home. I haven't been able to find a bottle beer I really like. I refuse to drink bud, miller, coors, any of that crap. I like more, exotic, I guess you could say beers. Blue Moon, Boulevard, Amber Bock.

Though until I can find a good bottled beer I will stick to soda while playing wow.

Coffee, but a nice glass of wine is always a treat.

Water.

But once in a while if i was drinking wine with dinner I'll bring a glass up and drink it while I play. And you know, I think I play better with the wine.

Back in Scotland it was Irn Bru, but I haven't managed to locate anywhere that sells if over here yet. So from the drinks I've tried over here, Ice Tea seems to serve me well. But if I'm wanting to get hammered, then Morgans Rum & Coke seems to do the trick, though I haven't had any since I went to a party, drank half the bottle, ate some curry, then threw up. Bad Times.

For any game, it used to be a pop of some sort. Mountain Dew or Cherry Coke, but since I stopped drinking pop on a regular basis, water tends to be my gaming drink.

It's not that I don't like alcoholic beverages, but they're more of complement for great food then they are an unwinding thing for me.

If i'm playing for a long time i'll go through tons of water cause i got into the habit of lifting weights while on flight routes, or waiting for BG queues. Back when i was a lot less healthy, arena would make me want to chain-smoke a lot and i tended to drink J.D or this nice polish grass vodka called zubrowka. Alcohl makes me a lousy pvper, but strangely my tanking reached some zenith where i could solo or tank basically anything.

I drink a large amount of water during the day.

At night I drink 2-4 beers, 25oz tall boys, usually some mix of Steinlager and Sierra Nevada IPA. Occasionally, wine or gin.

I also find PvP takes a hit while drinking but strangely tank skills grow.

Usually I drink either coffee or coke. If I don't have any of those around I'll settle for plain bottled water.

Being drunk messes up with my reflexes big time and I can't perform in any group, unless the rest is at least as drunk as I am. At times when I do some boring solo stuff like grinding or farming I'll have couple beers, bottle of wine or some Jack Daniels.

Try to have some żubrówka with apple juice, don't ask me why but this specific combo tastes much better than if you mixed it with any other vodka. Antonovka apple juice (specific to Eastern Europe) is particularly good. Doubt you can get it outside Russia/Poland though. This drink is called "szarlotka" (apple pie in Polish) and I used to get drunk quite a lot with this.

Beer.

Beer is like a liquid meal. Proteins, fats, water and carbs, all in one container. Maybe not in the right percentages, but I'm not going to look a gift horse in the mouth.

I used to sit alone and play WoW and drink.

That was sad.

Now I don't drink anymore... and I'm somehow suddenly much better at tanking.

Who woulda guessed it?

I very rarely drink Alcohol while playing. When I do it is only because I am predrinking before a night out. I will usually just drink water while playing, but when I am feeling more extravagant I will stretch to some sort of fizzy drink, usually Irn Bru.

On a night out I tend to stick to the cheapest I can find. Three litre bottles of Cider before leaving the flat, £1 bottles of poofjuice at a club. Sometimes when I feel the need for something with more power, I go for a bottle of ******** (a delicious mixture of Redbull, Redbull energy shots and Buckfast; enough caffeine to restart your heart)

I will occasionally come back from a night out and play WoW while hammered. It never ends well.

Usually water or soda. However, if it is alcoholic it's typically a Samuel Adams beer of some kind.

Usually if I've been out drinking and I come back and get on wow, I just type incoherent nonsense in which my guild laughs at me then eventually I just leave and fall asleep. I don't think I would be a fun drunk on vent. I'm not really a loud person.

i went through an amber bock phase myself, but to hear it described as exotic made me lol. don't they have sam adams where you buy beer? their boston lager is great, but avoid the fruity flowery seasonal crap they put out. if you're ever dumbfounded by a huge rack of microbrews, lagers and heifeweizens (wheat beers) are smooth, safe bets where you'll never run into "coffee flavors with just a hint of raspberry and chocolate overtones and a gentle buttery aftertaste." ooh ooh ooh! WARSTEINER! it's not the world's #1 exported beer just for it name.

when i'm not drinking great lakes or yeungling, it's almost always miller lite.

Try Alexander Keith's India Pale Ale. It's the only beer I drink. Go Canada!


I used to have a glass of wine or a beer while playing once in a while. It was relaxing... I've played WoW while **** drunk a few times (usually after getting home from somewhere, not getting drunk alone in front of my computer!) and it's really not fun. The movement makes me feel sick and I can't really do anything!

I prefer a dube any day of the week.

Yeah I don't necessarily mean exotic. When I think of domestic I think of all the norms like bud and miller, but technically stuff like boulevard and amber bock are also domestic, but it's not something you tend to see everywhere so it's more of a kind of regional thing I guess.

I like Sam Adams Boston Lager, their Oktoberfest wasn't too bad. I love wheat beers that's why I love Boulevard Wheat and Blue Moon. When I go out I like to try different stuff. When my fiancee and I went out last the bartender gave me a freebie try of 312 which is a local Chicago brew, and Spaten or Spatzen Oktoberfest.

When playing WoW, I usually tend towards drinking Dr Pepper or water(I have a cup of water and a can of DP on my desk right now, in fact). When I feel like having a drink, however, a single Gin & Tonic usually satisfies, unless I instead feel like a spiced rum and Coke or a fruity rum(coconut or pineapple, usually) with OJ.
#23 Sep 24 2010 at 10:38 PM Rating: Decent
I would have to say my drink of choice for wow is a Screwdriver (vodka and oj sometimes with pineapple chunks(try it its AWESOME))
And while in my wonderfully drunken state I love to MT raids. Best time ever was playing my old guilds drinking game called WIPE.... can you guess what to drink??? haha Anyways so after playing WIPE in ZA for an hour or 2 we decided to run karazhan instead. 45 min run 0 wipes all bosses downed no breaks for any reason. As MT I was also doing RL and after every boss i was keyed up on vent telling ppl move fastah less pp more killkill!! hahaha IT WAS A BLAST!!!

Granted pot doesn't really kill people. It can still destroy peoples lives and family. I know you'll also point out the fact you said "medical" though for someone who is very anti alcohol you would figure you would be pretty anti-drug, be it medical or not.
