Many countries actually do. I just got back from the Dominican and they seem to drink beer exclusively at room temperature. Very odd.

Wthermans said:If you want a cheaper version of Capt. (SJ is tons better on quality but usually a buck or two more than Capt), just look to Admiral Nelson or Burnett's (yes I am endorsing a Burnett's product). Both of those are crap when it comes to rum, but they taste just alike (watered down vanilla with a hint of caramel) and I think that speaks towards Capt's quality more than anything. :lol
SJ is my favorite for spiced rum, but if I'm going to have distilled sugar water, I'm drinking Angostura 1919. Best rum I've ever had. Only $30 for a fifth and it is by FAR the smoothest rum I've ever drank. Their 3 year isn't up to par, but the 1919 is awesome. Mount Gay Sugar Cane is a good daily drinker for a non-spiced gold rum.

More competitively priced, higher ABV, and better taste(IMO) than this hype train:

Gave this a shot, as the GF is a big fan of dark rums. I was blown away by the flavors in this. If you can find it, give it a shot, it was only $11 locally for a 750ml and boy is it tasty.

Jerry is my go-to rum as well, but if you want top shelf quality at a good price, try Rhum Barbancourt 5-star. Goes for $20-$30 a fifth at liquor stores. You can't beat Haiti for the best rum around (seriously, Haiti is the best Caribbean rum-producer, imo).Wthermans said:SJ is my favorite for spiced rum, but if I'm going to have distilled sugar water, I'm drinking Angostura 1919.

Cryptozoologist said:Basically any $12 bottle of vodka can compete with Grey Goose or Belvedere.
Grey Goose used to be one of those lower end, bottom priced vodkas, but after a marketing change they were able to sell boatloads of the same vodka for double the price :lolImperialConquest said:DurrrrRRrrRRrrrr...
Tenks said:MD 20 20. This hazelnut wine with a peach aftertaste that lingers on your tongue moments following the initial drink rivals the fine wines produced in even the most opulent wineries of France and Italy. Often looked down upon due to it's tendency to be drank by the homeless and sold at grocery stores and gas stations MD 20 20 offers a full bodied experience at a skeletal price.

note that it'll never give you the subtlety of a really good vodka, but it saves an enormous amount of money and it makes terrible cheap vodkas into tasteless mid-level vodkas suitable for mix and many other purposes.
I think you are confusing MD with Boone's, cause MD will knock you on your ass. It's the wine of choice for wino's. Although I am sure Night Train and Thunderbird also get honorable mentions.Kentpaul said:Weak a shit and is for 12 year olds

Raistlin said:If you are willing to go up a bit higher though, and by a bit I mean literally a few dollars if at all, I'd argue you'll find nothing better than Tito's Vodka:
[url]http://www.drinkhacker.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/titos.jpg[/url]
Hand-made in Texas's first legal distillery, I'd put this Austin-based Vodka against anything out there. As a matter of fact, some pro reviews have rated it as the best commercially available Vodka.
The spirit is micro-distilled (6x) in an old style pot still similar to fine single-malt liquors and cognacs. To be honest, there's really very little to say about it. I've had my fair share of high-end Vodkas, and I'd put this against them any day. As a matter of fact I think it bests them.
A word of caution though, it is sufficiently smooth that you better take care when mixing. If you aren't using a shot glass and simply going by taste, you will end up fucking yourself up pretty quickly. I speak from experience :lol
