Just want to let everyone know that not all Long Islander's drink those. In fact I've neer see anyone from LI drink one (and I am a native), although my experiance with alcoholic drinks is limited.

Speaking as one who is both the wife of a former bartender and who hates iced tea with a passion, I can say that when they're done right, they're reeeeeeeeeally good. Posts: 4077 | Registered: Jun 2003

But unless you are a big person, i.e., over 200 lbs., please just have one. The second LI Tea is generally one too many for us short women. And yes, I speak from experience on this one.

Meanwhile, Scotch that necessitates watering down is for posers that don't have the taste or cojones to drink real Scotch.

I don't drink scotch because its macho, I drink scotch because its goooood. Also, while I can't afford really really good scotch, I generally steer away from anything in a plastic bottle. My favorite is Aberlour. The 15 year old is good, the 25 is really good. Also, relatively affordable. And I water it because I like to drink it, not sip it.

Issue 1: Long Islands. Yum! I can handle about three before I start losing it, five normally gets me done in. Not that I know, or anything. I had one in Greece at a T.G.I.Friday's (we were desperate for "American" culture), and the bartender didn't have room in the gigantic glass for either the sweet'n'sour or the Coke. That was an excellent Long Island.
Issue 2: Scotch. I don't agree with pouring liquid water into a glass, but I do agree with a Scotch on the rocks. I prefer Scotch straight up, but hey - to each their own.

Mmmm, LITs. The weird thing is about LITs is they don't taste strong to most people. Even though it has 4 powerful shots and one weak shot (Triple Sec), for some reason the blend doesn't taste alcohol-heavy. So it's the perfect drink to foist on someone (if your sleazy or a frat brother) that is inexperienced if you want to get them trashed quickly. If they drink 2-3 in an hour, drunkeness will sneak up on them and hammer them.
Wussy actor's comments reminded me of the infamous Kids in the Hall skit, "Girl Drink Drunk" where a guy gets hooked on blender drinks. It's great, the Kids at the top of their game.

Long Island Iced Teas are not a pain to mix as long as you have pour spouts on your bottles and know how to count a shot. You don't even have to be all that precise. Making a good Bloody Mary is much more difficult. Heck, even a good martini requires more care.

I remember the Girl Drink Drunk sketch. Good one. Anybody ever had a jolly rancher shot? That is a mixed drink. (well, mixed shot I guess.)

I love that sketch!!! (does a little 'other people know about KitH' dance) You're right, they were awesome then. Why hasn't that season come out yet? (sigh)
Anyway, can I have water?
