I am one of a very small % who are allerg. to beer (either the barly, or hops) I get VERY ILL, I almosted died 2x's from 2beers the first time I thought maybe it was just as it was one of my first times drinking...after I drank mixed drinks a few times I tried it again and almost died again. I mean

BILE, passing out, chills, rash, breathing issues

.
My drink of choice is Vodka and cran. I prefer Kettle One, belv., or Grey goose, but on back up Sky, others will do. Smirnoff has a nice twister mixer that is great as well if you dont want to hassle with mixing.
My newest mixer I like is stoli raz. and 7up or sprite...Killer I would try this, its "kinda" like 7&7 only better, I wouldnt drink them all the time but they rock.
My breakfest when snowboarding is redbull and vodka with snickers bars

then a flask of peppermint shnapps good until lunch

great pick me up for first chair after drinking until 11-12 after "rushing" to get the lifts before they close.
