This post is not meant to condone or encourage alcohol abuse :drink:... I'm just curious. :cheers:
I like to sample different adult beverages-- mostly beer.
My latest purchase:
Moe's Backroom Pale Ale (http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/782/36747) (couldn't find an image, so I'm linking this review)
It's mediocre, but cheap. Barely reminiscent of a plae ale, but it's a lot better than budweiser or suchlike. I occasionally buy it at the grocery store because it's cheap and convenient.
What about you? (Feel free to add nonalcoholic beverages if you like).
I generally drink cider or Bacardi Breezers (orange and pineapple, but I don't enjoy the pineapple as much - I've only recently started to realise it's acceptable to buy two bottles of orange instead of one of each).
I have recently discovered Choc Amore - it's chocolate flavoured alcohol!! How ace is that? It's a bit like Baileys but only £2.99 for a bottle.

Non-alcoholic? Tea. I drink a lot of tea (double figures every day I reckon). Sometimes, I drink skimmed milk or orange juice too.
Last thing bought...

That was about 6 months ago I think.
I've got a 12 pack of AmberBock in my fridge right now.
Good stuff!

What? No Kool-Aid? :question:
When I drink booze,it's Black Velvet Whiskey.
my friend came round last night and he always brings carlsburg special brew beer. it's 9% beer. he's the only person I know who drinks it, and its properly militant stuff. blows your head off after a few cans.
mainly stick to carlsburg export, quite fond of Tiger beer as well
Alcoholic beverages could probably go in the "haven't had that in a while" thread for me. Almost never drink anything but coffee, orange juice, milk, water or Diet Pepsi. This weekend, I did have a Kilkenny's Cream Ale, because I bought a few to make fish batter yesterday and had a can left over. And my mother-in-law is visiting, so there's wine in the house. I had a glass of something red with dinner tonight. Didn't see the label.
Mountain!
Dew!

Georges DeBoueuf Merlot. :drink:

Good old Budweiser.

Franziskaner Hefeweisse
I'm mostly a beer drinker. Not a wine connoisseur, when I have wine it's by the glass and tend to take a house red. I think that I like merlots but I couldn't swear to that.
I started out with the kind of pale tasteless moose p**s they serve in kegs at college parties (in the US anyway) but I've wanted more and more flavor in my beer as I've aged. Mostly I've been drinking Guinness Stout. The only American beer I like is Samuel Adams.
But I fell in love with that cloudy wheat beer, Hefeweisse, when I was in Germany and I recently discovered I can get it for $2.60 a bottle in a store in my neighborhood. So I've been having that lately. I rarely drink more than one beer a week, and often it's more like once a month.
I will second the Franziskaner Hefeweisse. Good stuff. I'm also a fan of Spaten -- when it comes to beer, I prefer German. I avoid Amerikanischen Kamelep**se as much as possible. I did slip a bit and drink Labatt Blue recently, but that was because it was Canadian and I was at a 1920s themed party.
Whiskey is the devil, for me. Even a small amount and I'm out of it and probably doing something stupid.
I'll have vodka in mixed drinks.
Irish Car Bombs are a particular weakness of mine when I visit the bars around campus with a couple friends -- a half-pint of Guinness, into which is dropped a combined shot of Bailey's and Jameson. Tastes like chocolate milk.
I'm generally not a heavy drinker. One or two beers is generally a week's worth of alcohol for me. When I go to the bars with friends (which I don't do often because I'm poor and liquor's expensive) I might have an Irish Car Bomb and one or two Grape Bombs (a mix of grape vodka and Monster energy drink).
These days, I've been having way too much Jack and Jim, I guess its not really a problem as long as you know its a problem....
atleast i havent woken up in the garage lately... :buggedout:

And, for absolutely special occasions, or when I just want to choke and gasp for a long time...

As far as hard liquor goes, I'm mainly a scotch drinker. My "day-to-day" scotch is Johnnie Walker Black. Pretty good scotch at a reasonable price. For special occasions, I will drink the more expensive Johnnie Walkers, like Green or Blue. I also enjoy Glenfiddich and The Glenlivet .
For shots, I'm partial to Sambuca (although, I also enjoy drinking this in a glass with coffee beans). Ouzo is also a favorite (but has a bit of a nasty taste).
When I go to Brazil, I drink Caipirinhas (cachaca mixed with limes, sugar, and crushed ice). I also occasionally drink cachaca straight, but the taste is often nastier than Ouzo.
My favorite beer is from Belgium - - Westmalle Trippel. It's tough to find it in the U.S., but you can sometimes get it from large package stores.

Blue Moon is a very nice white ale that's actually sold in stores (thanks to being owned by Coors). Their seasonal and specialty ales are a different matter. This spring ale is flavored with lime peel and leaves; I think they should have used the edible parts of the lime instead. :thumbdown:
Joe: Guiness is king! Also like SoCo, though I haven't had it in a while, and Wild Turkey on occasion.
Lester: Seriously? :bouncegiggle:

The lack of non-alcoholic beverages in this thread is startling. I'm ashamed of you all.

When I was in college, I devised a unit of alcohol measurement:
alcohol % * volume / price
We'd pick out our drinks based on that formula. Not surprisingly, we ended up drinking a lot of Thunderbird and Night Train until we wised up. :wink: But I admire your bottom line attitude!
I'm taking it easy on the Al-kee hol nowadays. I mainily drink water, Vitamin water and fizzy water with a little fruit juice added.
Cherry Coke
Various energy drinks
and
Beer (I don't discriminate.)
