I’m also aware that alcohol dehydrates you, but with as much water as I drink daily and have at my disposal in the mountains, I’m not concerned about my alcohol consumption.

Just like everything else you do on the trail; “Know your physical abilities and limitations“, the same goes for alcohol consumption on the trail.


Also know about lowering body temp.

Rittenhouse Rye

[Odd Man Out]

Single malt of the decade. For the 90's it was Laphroaig. For the 00's it was Lagavulin. For the teens is Talisker. I drink it real slowly as it is so expensive.

I've learned the hard way not to drink much alcohol in places where I can't access a flush toilet the next morning.

That said, on winter trips I am partial to mixing a little jack Daniels with warm cherry jello mix.

Tequila is a good. Yukon Jack has a pretty good kick.

A wee dram of Dewers, although this year I've got a bottle of Macallans that would go well with an amazing sunset view.

[Chaco Taco]

on a thru, cheap whiskey, Evan Williams is always a great choice

[Hikes in Rain]

Any of the warm browns; bourbon, brandy, rum. Bacardi 151 will burn in my alcohol stove in a pinch, but I'd cry if I had to do that.

we call that special mix a "hot tardy".....

[nitewalker]

shot of choice on the trail would have to be some jagermeister or some good ole shine when its available....someone needs to invent dehydrated alcohol to keep up with the ultralight crowd....

My go to back-county liquor is the same as my go to in town: Bourbon. Jim beam makes a 200mL which is just about the right size if I am on a long hike and doing the resupply thing. Makers Mark if it is a weekend trip. I also like to carry a 500mL boxes of wine sometimes.

I tried carrying a little container of Scotch with me on a few trips. and found that it stayed in my pack. I never seemed to want it on the trail, so I stopped bringing it.

[jimmyjam]

Wild Turkey. The Hokie's drink- gobble gobble.

Grahams Tawny Porto (20 year)

[snorz]

I usually carry some Crown Royal for medicinal purposes only!

[poopsy]

It's rum but only the very best rum. Unfortunately I have yet to find it but I will keep looking...
