Members pink floyd cramer Posted November 21, 2005 Members Share Posted November 21, 2005 I favor Goldschlager nowadays, for a nice energetic fun buzz. My band runs on that stuff, we get about 2 gpg (gigs per gallon). I usually make it through most of the night with coffee, though. How about you?

Members GigMan Posted November 21, 2005 Members Share Posted November 21, 2005 Usually Coors Light, unless it's an open bar (as is sometimes the case at some of the wedding/banqet gigs) - in which case I go for a couple Heinie's or Sam Adams or something like that...

Members Jez Posted November 21, 2005 Members Share Posted November 21, 2005 Captain Morgan & Coke. A few of, to loosen the fingers... And many of, to celebrate a job well done. If it's hot and I'm in for a long haul I stick to bottled water though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MuzikB Posted November 21, 2005 Members Share Posted November 21, 2005 Water if I need to stay focused. Redbull if it's getting into the early morning hours. After 2:00 AM I start to crash. Hennessy if things are going great and I feel good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members dan88z Posted November 21, 2005 Members Share Posted November 21, 2005 Dogfish Head 60 minute IPA, Sierra Nevada IPA or something along those lines. Only 3-4 of them and I'm done drinking before the last set, then I change over to water. I'd love to drink a couple more beers but I'm not taking any chances on driving after drinking a 6 pack.

Members wheresgrant3 Posted November 21, 2005 Members Share Posted November 21, 2005 Water.... water... redbull (maybe with a spike of Vodka) water... water... water..... Since we are usually playing in stuffy rooms, run from one song to the next and am switching from guitar to keyboards I usually sweat my ass off. If I don't drink water I suffer the next day. Without an ounce of alcohol I feel as if I'm hungover with dehydration. So I make sure I drink at least 8 glasses H20 the day we have a show (should do that anyway), I bring a gallon jug of spring water (so I don't have to wait during set breaks to get a glass) and a small fan to help stay dry during the set. I rarely drink at gigs.... it just doesn't serve me any purpose since I am challenged enough playing sober! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members The Pro Posted November 21, 2005 Members Share Posted November 21, 2005 Ice water. I sometimes enjoy a chilld glass of wine during or after the last set, or if someone offers to buy me a drink (I used to refuse customer drinks but my clients reminded me not to turn down a sale for them). Otherwise there's the traditional champagne at midnight on NY Eve and that's about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mrcpro Posted November 21, 2005 Members Share Posted November 21, 2005 Either tea or water at room temp. I blow out my voice on the high notes if I drink cold beverages. When I used to drink, for some reason a few (or more) cold ones didn't do that though. Or maybe I was just too wasted to notice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
