Best drink for improving your listening experience
Right, so for years now I've noticed that my listening experience is better when I'm not sober. Generally I go with spirits, either brandy or whisky, I'm not a fan of vodka and I haven't tried rum yet. Beer makes me a bit too sleepy and makes me wanna go pee, which messes up the flow of my listening.
So what do you drink to make your listening sessions better?

Re: Best drink for improving your listening experience
I like to enjoy a nice cold bottle of brew usually when I'm listening, although I found that coffee or hot chocolate is great as well.

At the moment it's rum and cranberry juice with a twist of lime. Was off the booze for a good while but am back on it for a few months, yes, music does sound better when you're smashed. Shags everything else up though and the hangovers, forum bans, and general feeling of "shit" may not be worth the musical gains long termTime to get back onto the water I think.

Re: Best drink for improving your listening experience
I love some fresh brewed coffee ground from fresh beans. I have a great little grinder I bought for 20 bucks, and I received a battery powered vacuum sealed coffee bean holder for Christmas, which keeps my beans fresh. I usually drink it black, but sometimes add just a touch of skim milk. This week I bought soy milk to see how I liked it in my coffee, and honestly I don't like it that much. Back to the skim next week.

Re: Best drink for improving your listening experience
I also like coffee with my music. FYI, soy isn't as healthy for you as they say it is, so there's another reason to stick with the cow milk (of course one without growth hormone).

Scotch (Lagavulin in particular, Macallan on smoother days) or wine. Beer and spirits make me want to drop the headphones and actually go out or turn on the TV.
First post, yay.

With my "good system" a seven or eight year old Pinot, Adrian Fog, William Selyemor Sea Smoke. With my cheap system Cordon Bleau Cognac. Who needs a Rega Saturn or a EC Hyper Dac when you have your second Cognac, all the music sounds real good.

I prefer fresh carrot, beat, ginger and apple juice when I listen to music. Getting a juicer a few years ago was oneof my best purchases. I highly recommend it.
I'm a total idiot and everything I say should be viewed in that light.
Re: Best drink for improving your listening experience
I go for a Whiskey, mostly single malt. I have the 12 & 18 yo McCallan, Glenlivet 12 yo, had Oban, and I really like the Johnnie Walker 15 yo Green label but that ones blended. I also like the Balvenie Single Malt Scotch 12 yo.
Has anyone tried the Suntory Whiskey? I've been curious about this one for a while.
