BYOB Party. What should I bring?

So I'm going to a party this upcoming Saturday and it is BYOB. And I'm not entirely sure on what I should bring as I'm not much of a beer drinker. I know I want to drink at the party and get somewhat inebriated, but am unsure on what the best alcohol for the job could be. Could you duders help me out? What would you recommend?

Bombs.

Of the Jager variety?

Get some ciders. Strongbow is my drink of choice, but it may be a little too stiff if you're young and don't drink a lot (which I'm assuming is the case). Blackthorn cider is my next go-to and it's a bit sweeter.

If you want an actual beer, you can drink Corona Extra. Doesn't taste like much and goes down easy, but it's not as diluted and pissy as Bud or other beer of that ilk. I'll recommend you away from anything too dark, though.

The Gerstmann way of drinking vodka always works, too, just do two shots in a solo cup and fill the rest with OJ. A couple of those will get you pretty good. Just stay away from doing straight shots of any hard liquor, again, if you're young and don't drink a lot. Dan's way of ruining drinks with shitty beverages works too. A rum and coke is always tasty. Be careful when you mix, though, it's easy to accidentally drink six or seven in an hour and be in a bad spot later on.

Anyway, drinking to get drunk, that's my recommendation. Just don't be an idiot about it and stop if you need to. Sucks to lose the later half of a night to puking and passing out. You want to have a good time and remember it, not wake up in your own shit. Try not to have any more than 4-6 drinks, or 3 mixed ones if you're doing double shots when you make them.

Pssh it's all about BYOBB parties

There will be booze, but in a limited quantity. A lot of people plan on going so whatever beer is at this house party would be consumed in mere minutes.

If you're looking for some nicer, expensive beer, Old Rasputin is wonderful. Blue Moon is a great, cheaper beer, but make sure you have some orange slices to throw in there. If you want something a little different, Crabbies Alcoholic Ginger Beer is great over ice with a lime or lemon slice. If you want to get drunk and like a really bitter taste, try Stone IPA. Over 8% alc content. I would go to TotalWine or BevMo's website and filter by critic ratings then find the type of beer you like the most.

Cider is a good option, though to my taste it's a bit sweet to go past two bottles. Smirnoff Ice and Mike's are still reliable options. Bud Lite Lime and its flavors, perhaps.

This feels like lame advice but do you have a particular preference to anything? Because that's what I'd take.

I've taken packs of cider to (generally half) bottles of spirits and drunk at my own pace as I needed be, context sensitive like *hic*, while sharing with folks. The only thing I like to drink but haven't taken to a party is a fortified wine, probably a Port, because I'd have to decant that shit and let it breathe and who has time for that.

@ripelivejam: What's that extra B for? It's a typo.

@the_nubster: Strongbow is awesome! The local irish pub has it on tap and they serve "Bluebows" where they mix Blue Moon and Strongbow. Tastes like a dreamsicle

@acidbrandon18: If you're not much of beer drinker, I recommend bringing cider. It's easy to drink, it gets you drunk and lady's like it also. It's easy to start a conversation if some chick goes, " ew I can't stand the taste of beer," you can offer an alternative that is slower than liqueur.

Just bring a steak and look confused when people look at you strange.

I'm not much of a beer drinker either but Cider is pretty nice so I recommend that.

Some fine scotch and a bottle of Coke.

Yeah, Strongbow lacks the awful bloat that beer causes me, and it's a much friendlier taste, but still not sweet enough to make me feel bad in the middle of the night. I think my nearest beer store sells Blue Moon, I might have to grab some and try that out. Do you have any idea the ratio of each? Generally half and half, or more of one?

Speaking as a guy who doesn't enjoy a lot of beer, I recommend Newcastle Brown.

Its like you're trying to make an enemy for life.

That is an Ale, I like Newcastle Brown Ale as is quite smooth with a crisp taste. In Scotland it is known as Newkie Broon.

Bring whatever you like.

Also jagermeister. Bring jagermeister

Welp I know what I'm doing next time I go to the store. But Shocktop instead of Moon cause Coors is a shitty company but meh

I'm not exactly sure of your own local traditions and standards, but in The Great Neo-Ganja Empire it is traditional to bring a nice Jazz Cigarette, or if you can swing it, a fine Dutch.

Bring a lambic, raspberry if you can find it. It's good for people that don't like to drink.

Gin, because it goes good with everything. If you're not much a beer drinker, it may taste better depending on what you mix it with.

If beer it is, I recommend a dark ale, maybe something from Lake Placid brewery.

Alternatively you can just pour the Coke already into the scotch bottle??

Please, for the love of god, do not bring Smirnoff Ice or Mike's to your party.

If you have to ask, then bring a bucket and an apology letter.

I would, I hate drunk people!

Well, do you like? For someone who doesn't drink a lot, some middle of the road vodka and a mixer of choice is pretty easy to get drunk off of.

If you want to abandon all self-respect, you could go for some Smirnoff Ices or Mike's or something like that. But prepare to be shunned.

Jars of piss.

That would be pretty funny.

Dude just bring Mike's. Who cares. Anyone that would actually like, make fun of you for drinking that, they suck. Your argument is Mike's taste good, beer tastes like butt juice

If you're planning on sharing, a 12 pack of something like Sam Adams (Fat Tire if you're feeling froggy) should go over just fine.

Less generic than something like Bud or Coors, but not so fanciful as to put more middle-of-the-road drinkers off.

well aint the point of byob that you bring and drink your own booze. so just bring what ever you want to drink. i mean if your not much of a beer drinker then dont bring beer. take some vodka or barcadi and a big soda of what you want or what ever.
if the point of this byob is that you bring booze and everyone shares everyone's booze (and that sounds like a cheapskate and horrible idea) then just bring something again like vodka or what ever. it can go along with a lot of things and it can last somewhat longer then an equal amount of beer. but basically bring what you like

The dude doesn't like beer. Those are drinks for people who don't want to acquire a taste for things and are cheaper than bringing hard liquor.

@the_nubster: I think it's half and half. I'll have to stop in this weekend and get one to find out.

@gvalo: If you can remember for random internet stranger, shoot me a PM when you find out. Otherwise I'll just be over here, haphazardly throwing alcoholic liquids together...

Why is nobody saying tequila?! Bring a six pack of beer for yourself, and a bottle of tequila for everybody. Great "somewhat inebriated" times guaranteed.

Some Stella Artois and some Sierra Nevada also is good.

Booty Bass. He's bringing his old tapes of 95 South, Quad City DJs and DJ Magic Mike.

B

This guy. One part of this and two parts coke. It's all you need.

@acidbrandon18: Some applerita's and mix it with a little over a shot of hennessy each glass....wait you said you wanted to get somewhat inebriated nevermind.

A nice casserole.

1) A 24 pack of cheap beer (like Bud Light).
2) A stack of red cups.
3) Couple of ping pong balls.
4) Play Rage Cage:

5) Get drunk.

Jello shots. Nothing brings out the most excellent of conversations about politics, feminism, games, etc. like 151 mixed in some orange jello.

bring apple cider then sort of hide it behind the conventional stuff and drink it all yourself

or bring watermelon slices soaked in vodka if you wanna spread some deseases

Most often I'll bring some, liquor, most frequently Captain Morgan's, generally I roll with 26ers (750ml, I think you call them fifths in the US) sometimes I'll roll with a mickey (375ml, a handle?) and a 6 pack of Molson Canadian, and other times I go with a 12 pack of Canadian. It really comes down to what I think the party will be like. If I know it's going to be a lot of pong and flip cup then beer is more likely.

You know, upon personal experiences.... the more mixed drinks there's a good chance someone is gonna puke. I just had a party went from Wine to beer to champagne in just modest ammounts and I still ended up kneeling by the toilet. Like if only one person brought over a nice bottle aged of sipping whiskey to share, that is okay. Like some Jameson (chilled is the best) or Johnny Walker is good whiskey to share, like get a nice group sharing together in a circle and that would work out just fine.

Or simply bring a six pack of pale ale to share is fine enough also, like I said too much mixing around might make a mess.

get a bottle of fernet, and some coke
