how do we fit greyhound/salty dog/screwdriver in here? vodka+citrus?

I feel cider and malt liquor are pretty much auto-includes

vodka + citrus works for me, although purists might bitch
there maybe should be a beer poll but it needs to be done ilx film/music poll style rather than being limited to 50 options.

beer poll done this way ^ would be A++++

oof let me recover from the metal poll for a while and then we'll see how im feeling
― NOT FUNNY NEEDS MORE CGI (jjjusten), Saturday, 7 August 2010 00:34 (thirteen years ago) link
I feel like a beer poll is gonna have results that would be most frustrating to people who cared the most
― iatee, Saturday, 7 August 2010 00:35 (thirteen years ago) link
Hence, its necessity.

heh. ya - all my favourite beers a local microbrews for the most part. i'd probably wind up voting for Heinekin or something that would otherwise be 8 or so on my list.

Yeah, I know. The Ramos Fizz is basically the Dhalsim of this poll.

I actually did drink a Budweiser this decade -- it didn't kill me.

i'll vote ramos fizz to the goddamn top
― call all destroyer, Saturday, 7 August 2010 00:43 (thirteen years ago) link
Dude, I'll drink the hell out of some Budweiser if its ice cold and there's nothing else to drink and I'm thirsty and can be assured a TALL drink of Gatorade prior to bed.

Alright. I'm going to go have as many of these poll applicants as I can this evening.

yeah there should be a polite agreement that you don't get to vote against something unless you've actually had it.
― NOT FUNNY NEEDS MORE CGI (jjjusten), Saturday, 7 August 2010 00:49 (thirteen years ago) link
okay so w/r/t that, it might be sorta a headache buttt
― iatee, Saturday, 7 August 2010 00:54 (thirteen years ago) link
you could have 'don't know / haven't tried' as an option for each pair
― iatee, Saturday, 7 August 2010 00:55 (thirteen years ago) link
otherwise people are forced to vote for something, and in this poll there's a pretty high chance that most of us haven't tried something or another. that's gonna require...24? choices instead of the regular 16, but I think it'd be worth it.
― iatee, Saturday, 7 August 2010 00:56 (thirteen years ago) link
no one is "forced" to vote in these things tho!
― oreo speed wiggum (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Saturday, 7 August 2010 00:59 (thirteen years ago) link
it's not like we lose ilx points for not partaking in a poll.
forced in the sense that, if they have opinions on 3 of the matchups and haven't tried the other two, they either have to not vote or vote for something they're unfamiliar with

Cider/Scrumpy/Perry is essential, it would be like leaving apples off the food poll.

Fortified Wine (Buckie etc)
make that "low end fortified wine" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-end_fortified_wine, that'll do for mad dog too. alcopops are much classier.

surely the final 64 needs to come from a league (poll) from each group?
BeersCocktailsWineSpirits
and the allocation of the 64 will be based on the coefficient for each group? (based on total votes in each category's poll)
― HOOS' THE BOSS (ken c), Saturday, 7 August 2010 13:36 (thirteen years ago) link
that would be 16/16/16/16 right? I don't think there are enough 'types of beer'/'types of spirits' that would be universally familiar. might work with individual beers or spirits.

i think this is just too much. an all encompassing booze poll, i mean...
the food poll was a mishmash of ingredients, specific foods, and whole dish-styles. i guess that kind of works for booze too, in some ways, since, say 'drambuie' and 'chartreuse' are brands as well as the only thing of its kind.
but man, i dunno.
