Does anyone here drink rum?

I'm posting this knowing that I'm about to get kicked in the nuts about 1,000 times but it's not like anyone here doesn't already think I'm kind of a d-bag.

OK, supposedly rum has the least amount of sugar/carbs/calories and I refuse to quit drinking to lose the 15 lbs I've put on since HS (i'm over 30 so give me a freaking break).

I bought rum last night. Not just normal rum, I bought RonRico rum. That's like saying you're going to college and then going to OU.

As I went to the counter I prayed to God nobody I knew walked in. If you need to know why, please see any of the posts below about how big of a schmuck I am. I felt uncomfortable like I had on a shiny zipper shirt and fake tanned or something.

I'm about to say **** this stupid diet, keep the 15 lbs and get loaded like a man.

PS-buying RonRico rum had nothing to do with my handle so please don't use that as arsenal in the crotch kicking.
 
Alcohol is alcohol. 80 proof rum is the same as 80 proof whiskey is the same as 80proof vodka. You're actually better off with beer, wine, or champagne.

I found this on-line at: The Link :

Rum and diet coke with a twist of lime. Great drink for those concerned about their intake. Any anyone who knows me knows the d-bag tag just wouldn't stick to this preppy boy.

Malibu, Bacardi, whatever. I don't know the difference.
 
PS

Don't forget that rum is distilled from sugar cane, so it would seem to me it might possibly have more calories than other types of liquor.
 
1a. bring back havana club anejo especial from any trips out of country
1b. ron zacapa 23 anos

just drink either over ice.
 
i love rum but i don't buy crap like ron rico, even bacardi sucks now (they have really cheapened down their process). i prefer this estate bottled cruzan rum and their white rum is not bad. i also like the white mount gay rum. great with diet coke and lime or with tonic and lime...don't laugh, it is a decent drink.
 
Hey Ron Rico isn't all that bad. At least it's not Ron Rio. Also, Bacardi is ******* terrible, and only tools/females purchase it. Personally, having sampled multiple gallons of it, I keep coming back to Ron Rico.
 
Appleton Estates VX rum is pretty good for mixing. The 12 year old is good on ice. The 21 year old is really good on ice.
 
Mike Leach is that you?

The problem with Rum is that the best rum in the world is illegal in the USA.
In Argentina, I bought rum. HAVANA CLUB
solamente. Siete anos if I could find it.

7 year old Havana Club is LIGHT YEARS better than Bacardi 8 year old rum.

If the Havana Club line of rums was available in the USA, more people over the age of 18 would drink rum.

Rum on the rocks with a lime can be nice.
 
There's nothing wrong w/ Ron Rico, I prefer Barcari myself, but I keep some Parrot Bay cooling in the freezer for the females(they drink it straight and warm up nicely)
 
nothing embarrasing about liking rum. san antonio has a restaraunt with a rum menu - over 20 choices. pyrat is made by the patron family. there's another one that comes in a leather bag - anniversario, i believe its called. both very good. the best rum i ever had was brought to me from a girl that worked in a restaraunt in puerto rico for a yr or so. cant get it here though.
 
never thought i'd get support for my decision to drink rum. how disappointed in hornfans am i.

I'm going to give my own thread one star.
 
I've recently discovered that rum gives me a happy buzz, so it's probably what I should be drinking socially.
 
I like Cacique anejo it is a Venezuelan rum. Premium rums are starting to make a come back. I saw an article in some travel magazine last month all about premium rum.

Anyone gives you **** about drinking rum just remind them that it was Ernest Hemingway's favorite drink.
 
I drink rum in homage to my predecessors in American history. It was significant in the early days of America.
They didn't add the caffeine-free Diet Coke, though.
