sake - the best buzz
Dunno what it is, but sake seems to give the best buzz for me.... nice sustained buzz that sneaks up on you and lingers but doesn't put you out. Must be the way it's metabolized. It's juuuuust right.

Beer is either too mild, or you have to drink a lot toget hit. Hard liquor is like a plunge but it fades quickly, unless you keep hitting it hard.

zooooooooing.....

Any other suggestions? Or other sake people?

I second this. My buddy always buys this big bottle of sake that we drink chilled. I've never been able to find it at regular stores.

Hot shots golf or Tekken for sake shots

Just not a fan.
Even in cold weather, I'd prefer nigori over warm sake.

nigori is good when you want sweet.

i like junmai for the purity... and it MUST be cold.

Warm is for that $1.99 for 10 gallon sake.

That's why I specified the cold weather part: nigorizake is a winter thing in Japan. Otherwise, I prefer this (preferably with lots of kushiyaki hehe):

I haven't had a lot of sake, but it just doesn't seem to fit the bill for me. It tastes too sweet (what I've had).
