Well, when I want to get drunk I want to enjoy the drink. I don't like normal Vodka that much, neither Baccardi. Campari is for me, or Metaxa.
o.o I didn't know being asian has a different effect on normal spirits. Also, I've yet to try Sake. Quote:

Getting drunk, for me, is a chore. I have a stomach of steel fortunately, so unlike others, I can enjoy the drink and watch everyone else die around me. *Grins*
But, I've only tried a few bottles of sake. Which I loved, but I want to try different types first before judging. Yinnie, we're going Sake drinking! :P |

Alcohol is alcohol, and it'll act the same on you regardless of your race. Keep in mind that sake is typically 15-20% alcohol, whereas most spirits are 40% (or more). This might be why you feel you can tolerate sake better.
I generally like the taste of sake, although I rarely drink it, despite being in Japan. Sake is not popular at all with the younger generations in Japan, and since I typically hang out with people of that age group, I don't get a chance to drink sake much. Every now and then I'll order a strong cup of awamori if I'm in an izakaya, but other than that, I don't drink it much. |

Preferring umeshu to sake, I would have to say spirits.
Once in a while I will have sake, as long as it is cold and unfiltered. are Its very difficult for me to even get past the aroma of the filtered and/or warm sakes. Since this usually translates to a preference for the higher prices varieties, I usually stick to my umeshu .... unless I can find soju. When all else fails, make mine a single malt scotch with ice. Only an open mind and open heart can be filled with life. ********************* Find your voice; silence will not protect you.

I actually think this is even higher than 50% as my 4 Asian friends all experience this genetic trait, although some to higher degrees than others. My Korean friend can light up a room after just a few drinks. |

I'm not a big fan of Sake. My beverages of choice are Captain and Coke or Crown Royal reserve and ice.

for non-japanese my preferences are usually 7&7, bloody marys and wine (<3 chianti)
generally those are considered more adult drinks but i've grown out of my drink to get hammered phase... i can still drink all the normal hard stuff, vodka cran (<3 level & goose), rum and coke, jack n coke, adios mofo, long islands but i don't really go that route anymore. it'll usually take me a few (3+) of those to start getting a good buzz on |
