Favourite Alcoholic Drink
What's your poison?
What drink do you despise? What's the drink you swear every weekend/month never to touch again? The one that sends you over the edge?

My fav. is the free one.
Anything that does not give me a headache. I don't have a real fav. I enjoy getting a little bit high on various drinks. During rehearsal season, on Wednesdays nights, I'll maybe start with a coffee & Baileys. Then whiskies, or Gordon's gin, usually with bitter tonic. Sometimes just red wine for the three hours or a few cognacs...or beers. |

Also: Guinness, Harp, Stella, Bass, and Red Stripe. If I'm drinking wine, I'll go for Shiraz or Red Zin. Shotwise, I prefer rum or Car Bombs. I always swear I'll never drink Jager again. Nasty, nasty stuff. Seems like everytime I get a free shot, though, it's either a Jager Bomb or Liquid Cocaine. *shudder*

Manhattan with maker's mark is my drink of choice (although I will gladly drink them with bottom shelf bourbon as well) a good micro brewed is my favorite choice when it comes to beer and I will usually choice a pale ale.

#1 - vodka / tonics. They go down so nice!
White wine spritzers are great in the summer. In the cooler months, I sometimes go with a cabernet. I will never ever EVER drink Jack Daniels shots again. omfg I'll never forget how I felt and how I smelled that next day. It was oozing out of my pores . |

I love white russians. Made properly they taste like chocolate milk. I drink them very rarely though.
My go to drink on the weekends is simple beer. Michelob Ultra, or Bud Light if I can't get that. I can't drink any of the dark liquors, scotch, burbon, whiskey, etc. That just results in a wicked hangover. |

Laphroaig - the maker of the World's favourite Islay single malt scotch whisky. I also like Irish whiskey and lately I've been drinking Feckin' (Feckin Irish Whiskey 'an Irish Whiskey for the rogue in all of us'). Last edited by vanblah; 07-24-2009 at 05:58 AM.. |

It's usually vodka/Jack Daniels with some kind of mixer (preferably diet coke), or Disaronno (on ice).
When it comes to shots, if I'm feeling tame, apple sours. If not, Tequila. Always Tequila. I love white wine, but I'll only drink a glass or so at a time, usually with dinner. Wine has no mercy on me.

The go-to drink of choice is Jack & lime, followed by vodka & passion fruit / Southern Comfort & appletiser.
Beer, in order of preference: Amstel, Tafel (Namibian Brew), Stella, Heineken, Castle (South African). Jager, but only in a bomb. Tequila, but only José and even then, very rarely. I prefer red to white wine, especially Cabernets and Pinotages.

I don't drink much these days, but there are a few things I still enjoy from time to time. Pinot noir, for one; I rarely say no to a glass of Oregon pinot. Yummy. As far as cocktails go: I like a gin and tonic made with Bombay and several slices of lime on hot days, and I make a mean mojito with homegrown Moroccan mint. In the winter, I have a bottle of Maker's Mark on hand for making hot toddies with a variety of fancy sugars and spices. My favorite combo is a bit of Demerara sugar, Makers, and a bit of freshly grated nutmeg across the top of the toddy. But since I really hate hangovers, I only have one of these before it's back to Diet Pepsi.

I'm not much of a drinker, but here's what I usually drink when I go out.
mixed: Vodka red bull and jager bomb are the standard drinks. Long island, AMF, and some other drinks for variation. I've been wanting to try mixing pomegranate juice with some vodka, a wedge of lime and pinch of salt or sugar for some time now but haven't gotten around to it. shots: patron tequila has been the only thing I can stomach beer: Blue Moon with some orange juice, corona with some lime and salt--ICE COLD. It's funny, back a few years ago I hated beer and drinking in general and now I'm enjoying it. Damn peer pressure. wine: we don't drink wine in my circle so I don't know, but I do know that I like sweet wine. As for what I despise: warm beer. Hennessy and its ilk. My brother (and his friends) insists on this crap. Saying now smooth it goes down and it has such a nice aroma. This shit makes me wanna puke every time. Oddly enough, Patron has the same effect on him.

Rum. Captain Morgain's Spiced Rum (original). Warm. I usually chase it with a glass of water or a beer, depending on who is around me.
Beer... I'm not choosy. I'll drink watered down American piss beer (Miller High life being my favorite cheap ass beer) but I love local brewed beers. I'm a Heineken fan, also Bass and Harp. I'll try anything once, I *LOVE* IPAs. The more bitter the better. I've recently fell in love with a beer called Hoppyum by a local brewery in Winston Salem NC. So hoppy... it's a strong drink, but so good. If I have to get a mixed drink, it's either a Royal Flush or a Captain and Coke. I don't drink soft drinks as it gives me heartburn, but every once in a while I'll get one. |

Well, I've already had my lifetime's worth of alcohol, but on the very rare occasion that I do imbibe (it's been over 8 months since the last one), I like a nice hefty shot of Rumpleminze, straight out of the freezer, in a frozen glass, with an ice-water chaser. If I really want to splurge, I'll chase it with a Bass Ale.

Mixed drink would be a 7 & 7. I like to use Seagram's Seven and a generic brand of lemon lime soda though. But Jack Daniels and lemon lime soda works as well.
For Beer any thing Amber or dark. Lately its been Red Hook ESB. Can't stand that lite beer flavored water....

My favorite is irish cream and a little Canadian whiskey in my coffee ( or just irish cream in coffee)
tried these on vacation when it was too hot for coffee. Pretty good. Daiquiri (strawberry) Pina Colada The margaritas in Mexico are really good, if you can get past the first few sips. Long Island Ice Tea

When it's hot and I'm out at the pool, or sometimes when I'm out on the town, I like fruity frozen drinks, like margaritas and daiquiris. But my absolute favorites, for serious drinking are these:

Since I work at a brewery I tend to drink my fair share of Sleeman beers.
If I'm out I tend to drink rye and cokes or pints of whatever premium/import is on tap. Also I'm a big fan of the Caesar which is apparently a Canadian thing but trust me nothing beats a well made Caesar. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caesar_(cocktail)

I'm a bad one for this question....I love vodka and tequila, I'm a huge fan of beer, the more micro the better. The last good beer I had was de konnonik (sp?) dutch beer. The last bad beer I had was 'stones. The last tasty "pop" beer I had was red stripe. The last excellent drink I had was an LIT, the last terrible drink I had was an LIT that I was too drunk to realize I'd poured Vodka and tequila twice instead of setting them down in favor of the rum gin and triple sec - - - oops. I suppose I'd prefer it if I never did THAT again. To answer the OP...............I think my favorite "drink" is a Jag Bomb and my favorite "shot" is a prairie fire (tequila and tabasco) and yes I do realize that both of those are actually shots.

I typically prefer Jack Daniels, neat (if it's cold) or on the rocks (if it's not). I also like JD for shots. Recently, I've taken a liking to vodka and cranberry juice.
I will never drink meade again. One tiny glass gave me a killer headache. I don't really like beer either. I've had Bud Light (tastes like piss) King Cobra (40oz, tasted okay) and Keystone light (not as bad as BL, but I only had two cans). I need to drink more.
