Tequila

One of the most popular beverages worldwide, tequila is a very distinct tasting liquor that takes care and time to produce. The drink is&nbsp;made from the blue agave plant found near the Mexican city of the same name. Some consider tequila to be one of the truest forms of alcohol due to its highly potent nature. Jimadores, the harvesters of the agave plant, trim piñas from the ground at their peak ripeness to be baked, mashed, and then put in stills to ferment. This becomes tequila, the go-to drink for parties where everyone's looking to get a little wild.As harvesting practices and fermentation times vary, each tequila producer comes up with a tequila that taste slightly different from another's. This leaves the drinker with many options to consider when trying to choose good tequila. For those of you who have very particular booze preferences, types of tequila&nbsp;matter. Should you go with a tequila blanco, like the varieties produced Milagros, Avion, and El Espolon? Or maybe a more traditional tequila like Patrón, Cazadores, Herrudura, or Hornitos?What are some high rated <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-expensive-tequila-brands/werner-brandes?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">top shelf tequila</a> companies?

Whoa Facts

If you&#39;ve had Goldschl&auml;ger before, chances are you either love it or hate it. It&#39;s a highly polarizing drink for a number of reasons, not the least of which is the gold flakes clearly floating around in the cinnamon-flavored schnapps. Nonetheless, a surprisingly small number of people actually know about&nbsp;Goldschl&auml;ger history.&nbsp;

The thing is, while brands like Jack Daniels and even Grey Goose have a heritage they&#39;re proud of, Goldschl&auml;ger&nbsp;doesn&#39;t. The brand has been passed around from company to company and manufactured in a number of different places. How it&#39;s survived this long is anyone&#39;s guess.

Unlike many brands whose manufacturers release all kinds of statistics, the current owners of&nbsp;Goldschl&auml;ger&nbsp;seem content to keep the mystery alive, for better or for worse.&nbsp;Its alluring gold flakes have inspired all kinds of wild theories. When it comes to supposed facts about Goldschl&auml;ger, it can be hard to separate what&#39;s true from what&#39;s made up.&nbsp;Luckily, this list provides more than a few verifiable Goldschl&auml;ger schnapps facts, so next time you take a swig of the golden drink, you&#39;ll know what&#39;s in store.

There's nothing quite like alcohol. It lifts us up to our highest peaks and causes some of the lowest moments of our lives. We love it, but can't trust it (and take absolutely no responsibility for anything we do under its influence. So, in all its glory, everyone's closest friend, here is the best of the Scumbag Alcohol meme. 

The Very Best of the Scumbag Alcohol Meme

Robert Wabash

4chan

The "You Are Drunk" meme features various animals, objects or plants either in places where they really should not be or performing actions that are very unusual. These are usually hilarious stand-alone pictures in of themselves, but attributing the characteristic of being drunk to them elevates the humor to a whole other level. Anthropomorphizing something like a house and calling it drunk because of poor craftsmanship is just funny for some reason. Calling a piano drunk because it's up in a tree is really damn funny too. I don't know why but the "Piano, You Are Drunk" or the "Bruce, You Are Drunk" or even the "Tree, You Are Drunk" viral photos are just great single images. They started out as viral images on places like Reddit, 9Gag (I know, they actually contributed to something for once) and 4Chan and eventually graduated as a whole way to characterize an object, animal or plant in a picture that seems to be in a completely ridiculous situation. So here, in one place, are the greatest "You Are Drunk" posts on the internet (so far).Be sure to check out Ranker's other lists like the 25 Greatest Internet Memes of 2010.

For the Love of Whiskey

Whisky

Whiskey is a very distinct tasting liquor. Since it is made in a burnt wooden cask, it is given a smokey head. Some consider whiskey to be one of the truest forms of alcohol. Whiskey is an alcoholic beverage that is made from combining water and a mash of grains. The mash can be different combinations of barley, rye, wheat or corn. Whatever is used gives the whiskey a different flavor. It is then placed in a wooden cask that is made out of burnt oak and left to age and ferment. However long it is left in the cask is also going to change the taste of the whiskey. Since all of these factors come into play, each whiskey producer comes up with a whiskey that taste slightly different from another's. This leaves the drinker with many varying options to consider when trying to choose which whiskey is the right one for them. Should they go with the lighter and smoother Canadian whiskey like Canadian Club, Crown Royal or Black Velvet? How about a fuller American blend like Jack Daniels, Knob Creek or Maker's Mark? This list is to help determine which whiskey is the best tasting out there through votes from the Ranker users. Please note that It includes all types of whiskey, but you can also vote on the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/best-bourbon-brands/bottoms-up">best bourbon</a> and <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/best-scotch-brands/bottoms-up">top scotch brands</a>.
