Light weights, get over it. I can’t believe that anyone can get a buzz off any number of Midori Sours. If you want a sweet drink, get flavored vodka with 7-UP. Midori-Placebo. ---

Uh…ok? So, other people’s taste in drinks warrants a pit thread from you? I’m not impressed. Being a hardcore alcoholic isn’t exactly something to brag about either. What am I supposed to say, “Congratulations! You’re destroying your liver!”? FTR, I like Midori Sours. You don’t drink them to get drunk, you drink them because they can get people tipsy, and it still tastes good. So fuck off. ---

**the gullywumper** is obviosly a self absorbed fucknut who has no concern about American bartenders. I suggest he shove those Midori Sours up his [ass](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=87801). ---

nah, I’d say he’s just still a teenager who thinks getting drunk on weekends is the only hobby ANYONE needs. Not everyone drinks to the point of passing out in a pool of vomit, honey. ---

I drink Midori and Sprite 'cause it _tastes_ good, not 'cause I want to get drunk. Duh. Oh, and you’re a drunken fucknut. Have a nice day. 🙂 Esprix ---

Obviously gullywumper, we got some lightweights hangin’ out in the pit. These punks not only drink pansy(no offense to flowers 🆒 )-ass drinks, but THEY don’t drink to get drunk, and then they insult YOU. Welcome to the Straight Dope Pit! For women it is forgiven. But no self-respecting man should drink those things. And while we’re at it no one at all should drink coor’s lite - it’s lake water. Don’t even get me started on Zima. . . Oh, and getting drunk doesn’t mean puking or passing out. With practice it can be done quite well without either that or any other similar embarassment. Alchohol should be had for intoxication. Frequently. To drink and not get drunk, you may as well have just juice or your stupid. Liver damage and all. Me, I’m a get drunk every time. I don’t care about the liver damage. As Red Fox says It’d be a shame to end up in the hospital at the end of my life dying from nothing. I’ll die from something thank you very much. Make mine an Absolut and Cranberry! DaLovin’Dj ---

Midori and Mountain Dew is absolutely yummy. Makes a helluva slushie, too. But you’re right. I just can’t pass out fast enough drinking them. Sheesh! ---

Absolut and cranberry? Cough syrup! Rum, right from the bottle. No glass. No ice. No mixer. And, **Esprix** , Midori and Sprite? Are you trying to make abolutely sure no woman hits on you? “Why, yes, I’m gay! Didn’t you see what I’m drinking?” In my day the closet kept self-respecting queers drinking SERIOUS liquor in SERIOUS quantities! House brands so they could afford more, too! Goddamned kids these days! 😉 ---

**dropzone** , Rum straight from the bottle? lol. Are you a retired pirate? For shots I’m a Jaegermeister man myself. But I like it in a shot glass. If it’s chilled then we’re approaching danger zone, cause that shit goes down way to easy. And I like to dance when I’m drunk. I’m not that good of a dancer. So don’t chill the Jaeger . . .

Methinks **dropzone** has been hanging out with the Stroh-drinking ChiDopers too often. 😃 And, as a bartender, Midori rules. ---

Actually, dear, you may notice me maintaining (most of) my sobriety at those functions. Can’t drink like I used to. Do they still make Strohs? I used to like its burnt-peanut aftertaste. ---

If you’ve been to a DopeFest with **thinksnow** , there’s Stroh rum. Hell, these days, if you’ve been to a DopeFest without him there’s strong possibility. That guy is like the pusher-man for that stuff. He’s even got **DynoSaur** sending it across country. I, of course, am a teetotaler. 😃 ---

Happily. At work, all damn day. For the record, I like tequila, straight flavoured vodka, rum and coke, and any other flavourful alcoholic mixture. What I don’t like are fucking idiots who want us all to live by their rules. ---

Midori, in the hands of an _artiste_ like **Nymysys** is nothing short of the Gods’ own nectar. Poor gullywumper. Life stuck in a shoebox must be rough. ---

Midori… **mmmmmm**. Not many bars around here even have Midori. ☹ Bourbon is my usual, although I’ll drink anything but gin. But occasionally, a nice Midori is just what the redtail needs. You kids are so cute when you’re drunk. You get so stupid and annoying, I just want to squeeze you all to death! You know what? If you’re lucky and actually grow up someday, you may learn how to have fun without acting like idiots. \ ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by redtail23 \* > **In my world, ‘black’ and ‘white’ are merely extremes in the spectrum of ‘grey’.** That more than makes up for your slur of gin. But Midori?
