"How Often Do You Drink Rum?" Topic

Rum is the favorite beverage of pirates everywhere.

And Seljuks, too.

Arrrrrfter the sun is over the yardarm matey

"Why is the rum always gone?…Oh, that's why…"

Also of the Royal Navy Bill. Usually always have a tot on Trafalgar Day if no other time.

R & C… the Caribbean way…. or when going out for some Latin dancing.

never

Not often enough.

Am tee total.

Never post when sober.

I used to drink it just about daily but I'm no longer able to have alcohol (unrelated reason not over indulgence). Along with port it is the only drink I miss.

Pusser's Navy Rum!

It's about time to pour meself a measure, says I.

Which raises a question: "Nelson's Blood"--rum,or brandy? I've heard both.

Very rarely.

Not often. However, I happen to be drinking a Long Island Ice Tea while clicking through TMP. Good timing.

A few times a month. Proper measures and rarely just the one. My mother blamed the navy . . . .

Only under some palm trees on a beach. So that makes out to be once every few years

+1 ZOC.

Rarely. I prefer rye

Not in a very long time.

Not for years.
I prefer beer.

Prefer wine but on the right night…

Every chance I get.

Frequently. Big fan of aged dark rums.

Are we sure Bill's account hasn't been hacked?

Never

I have never had it either.

I'm just about to pour myself some Flor de Cana (there's a way of getting the tilde over the 'n' but I can't find it). From Nicaragua.

Rarely, but just recently I bought a bottle of Blue Chair Bay Rum. It's quite good.

Usually on beach vacations.

As Kyote said, not in twenty years (at least).

My need to get all piratical seems to have dwindled in the second half of my life.

Yes, but how would you wargame it? And what scale?

I think I need a drink. Pussers Navy Rum of course :))

Every time I down a Painkiller, a Cuba Libre or a Dark n Stormy…

Am currently slightly hung over from the tot of Kraken I polished off last night…

Rarely these days but Wood's 100 when I do.

I only USE rum, if there is no Marsala at home, to make tiramisł.

When its stolen!
Lol its a brand name of a nz produced rum

Every now and again. My favourite is Mount Gay. With lime, sugar and soda water.

Never, hate the stuff.

Currently have 7 bottles of different types, from the light mixed drink Ronrico/Malibu/Bacardi stuff to the Appleton Estate and Pyrat as well as a bottle of Gosling Black Seal Black Rum sitting on my liquor shelf in my home office about 6 feet away from me…
Oddly enough I have never tried Pusser's….

I prefer gin.

Rarely. Had an unfortunate experience with 151 when I was a teenager. Mostly a beer, wine and gin guy these days

When I run out of stout, balzams, vodka, raki, ouzo, pisang, brandy, kaluha, peppermint schnapps, everclear, dandelion wine, and amarula, I might get into the rum … but that's really SWMBO's drink (with soda).

Had an uncle who made a decent Cuba Libre.

I've been a fan of spiced rum lately, particularly Kraken. Like KSmyth, had a bad experience with Malibu Rum and diet Coke as a teenager, so it's been a long while to get back in that saddle, though Malibu and Kraken shouldn't really be in the same sentence.

Almost never.

I've had one or two I liked, but I'm a vodka person through and through.

Inspired by this thread I've gone and got myself a bottle of Ron Zacapa. It isn't cheap, but if you haven't tried it you should. It is very fine.

I takes me Grog and tiptoes up t' yard arm an does a jig singing me little a dittie {;). Arrr!
Rum best served just before the whistle blows to leave the trenches. That is before any task requiring a bit o Dutch, Mates :)
