If you drink-name your poison?

Mine-depends. If my $ is low- I go for Ten High Whiskey or Canada House. If I'm good in the pocket, I'll buy Black Velvet. If I'm really
broke I buy rot-gut Arrow Gin or Vodka.

I almost never drink.  I'll maybe have what others would call "p*ss beer" when I'm in the hot tub.  I don't care-- I want my beer LIGHT.

If I'm at a bar and someone demands to buy me a drink I'll throw down some Wild Turkey to warm me up.  Or if I'm gonna be at the bar for a while and PBR is cheap I may have a little.

I drink red wine, particularly Cabarnet Sauvignon.  I also like Pinot Noir and Shiraz and Malbec, probably any red that's not sweet... however, I don't like Merlot unless there's nothing else to drink.  The Cabarnet Sauvignon I drink comes in a BOX that costs about $18 and has 5 liters which is about 3 and a third big bottles (1.5 liter).  You can expect to pay around $10 for an "inexpensive" red wine in a 1.5 liter bottle. 

I'll drink beer, but not a fan. 

I don't drink cocktails anymore; except I'll drink Martinis.  And though I've had rotgut gin, I like gin.  The better the gin is, the more I like it.   I went into a bar and ordered a martini and the ... "lady" ... behind the bar picked up the vodka... I said: "I ordered a martini" she replied "everybody wants a vodka martini..."  I hadn't realized when one orders a martini, one had best be clear and state "GIN" martini.   :lookingup:  :hatred:

Apart from a rare beer, I don't touch hard liquor, not even wine or champagne.

Bottled ales, craft beers, whisky (both single malt and blends). I am completely ignoring the current craze for gin that seems to be sweeping the UK.

Usually Jom Beam for whiskey. My dad has a bunch of rum, but I do love Bumbo rum over ice. I mainly drink at the bar that has cocktails. I mainly stick to whiskey , and tequila drinks.
yeah no.

usually malt liquor ( Steel reserve ,King Cobra) with a watery light beer after like bud light lime.

Occasionally I drink fancy belgian ales like delerium tremens or imperial stout type things. If I'm at a bar I'll order a guiness or something.

I don't like bitter hoppy sort of beers which is most american ones

Paquita

Mead. I drink it ice cold with about 50% water.  I have still never been drunk though, I just really like the taste.  It's like concentrated honey, but when water is added it's almost like a light apple cider without the apple flavor.  After 2 glasses I start to feel like it might be too much.  I don't really drink anything else unless it's something tasty and even then I will only have a bit.  I have no desire to drink something that tastes like crap to make me act like a buffoon and then feel like crap later.  If I'm going to lose my cool, it better be from something really good.

Beer here!

I don't really have a "brand loyalty" when it comes to beer. I'm always trying new/different things. I tend to stick mostly to lagers/pilsners, tho. I don't care for stouts or other  dark/bitter beers.

I'm also not a fan of these super expensive micro-thingies that are made with cinnamon and orange peels and peanut butter and whatever other nonsense hipsters jam into the brew tank to make it "gourmet." Just gimme a friggin beer.

When people ask what my favorite beer is, my standard answer is "When I can afford it, Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. When I can't, Old Milwaukee."

mostly cheap 3.2 beer, right now it's hamm's. for hard liquor, it's a vodka margarita or a vodka sour. can't stand whiskey or rum, and i got tired of gin.
  once in a blue moon, i like a nice leibfromilch(sp?) , but no champagne or red wine.

The Burgomaster

For many years I was almost exclusively a scotch drinker (Johnnie Walker Black was my "every day" brand . . . but I would keep a bottle or two of single malt on hand for special "sipping" occasions).

Several years ago, I acquired a taste for martinis (which is strange because I hated gin all my life). So, now, I drink Bombay Sapphire martinis much more often than I drink scotch.

My wife (who is from Brazil) introduced me to Caipirinhas about 25 years ago. If made properly, they are delicious, refreshing and will knock you on your ass. If made poorly, they don't taste very good.

In my younger years, I went through a couple different phases (tequila for a year or two, Jim Beam for a year or two).

When I'm in the mood for a shot, it's usually Sambuca.

I also drink beer and wine and definitely Margaritas when I have Mexican food.

From 1980 until 1984, I drank beer. At the time PBR was cheap. But cheaper was some nasty s**t called Huber.
In upstate NY in 1979, I drank Rolling Rock, I think it was called? Had and an Angel or Fairy on a rock on the label?

Thinking of this?  That's White Rock. 


I drink Rolling Rock, yes it's made in NJ now, but was in PA.
