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.

no one is "forced" to vote in these things tho!

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.

would the "spirits" bracket include liqueurs?

or would you just break it down like for example:

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.

unicum vs malört would be kind of fantastic, particularly if you had to taste-test before voting

again I think a (pass) option is key here
I'mna bet there's nobody here who will have tried all 64, no matter what we end up with
― iatee, Monday, 9 August 2010 18:51 (thirteen years ago) link
fully support jaymc's 16 btw

ONE example for each is a great idea too

ha i bet i will have tried all 64, but i realize that i am a special case

Alright, I'm going to work this thing up.
Its going to be an all-alcoholic bevs poll, out of the interest of seeing a good bit of trans-category conflict.
I'm going to keep jaymc's 16 beers.
