For me, it depends on the place and the intention.

I don't like beer, so when I'm at the local pub it's a nice Schooner of icy cold Strongbow Original (sweet is yucky).

If I'm having a nice relaxing drink with a mate at home, it's a nice Scotch on the rocks. ( DECENT scotch. Glenfiddich 12 is the best I've tried. I need to try more... Johnny Black is also nice.)

If I am trying to get as far gone as possible, well then. Here it gets varied. Jaeger Bombs to start off with. Then move onto Bundy (Bundaberg Rum. One of Oz's signature beverages.) and Cokes, Johnny and Cokes, Canadian Club and Cokes, Jack and Cokes, and some shots (Vodka, Jaegar, Bacardi) and, when someone brings it, a shot or two of Bacardi 151.

What about you guys? Any Favourites?

I'm 17 so I never drink alchohol... *shifts eyes from left to right*


I am a big fan of any and all flavors of Mountain Dew, though. Good stuff right there.

Killians Irish Red Draft please. If not that than a Sam Adams Lager. If none of those give me a damn Guiness

A&W root beer (with vanilla ice cream in it ) , or Tapioca Pearl Bubble Milk Tea

Absolut vodka, straight.

I approve

I too am a few years shy of drinking age (Just turned 19 a month ago) so I enjoy the simple, tooth-rotting taste of Mountain Dew in all its forms. I especially love the new throwback bottles just for nostalgia's sake.

Non-Alcoholic:
Black Coffee. Any time of day, it's universally my favorite drink. Otherwise Coke.

Alcoholic: Jameson Irish Whiskey

Propeller Stout. You can't really get it in Ontario though. Until then, either a Whiskey Sour at bars or Gin and Tonics at home (where the gin can simmer in the freezer for an hour afore sipping).

At work it's the battery acid that some joker labeled "Strong Black Coffee" on the coffee machine.

Alexander Keiths beer.

I've had army coffee that I thought was battery acid too .

Mountain...Dew...? YUCK!!! It's like liquid pixie stix with acid j/k. Though really, I do hate the stuff.

Non alcoholic: An 8 cup press of the darkest roast that would be worth it, or a licorice rooibos mate chai, iced, quad strength.

Alcoholic: Jagermeister, neat, poured in a double from a frost-covered bottle.

I love having just turned 18, and I'm enjoying legally buying alcohol.

Yes, I did need to rub that in.

Also, there are FLAVOURS of Mountain Dew? We only get one...

Where do you live? I was pretty sure the legal age to buy alchohol was 21.

And yes there are!

Back when I used to drink, my favorite was what I called a planet killer. It was one part pure grain alcohol and three parts jolt cola. I'm sure that's why I am the way I am now. ( ) These days, I mostly drink mountain dew, code red flavor.

Becks & Astra (german beer)
Lapin Kulta (finnish beer)

Non-alcoholic it has to be Irn Bru

Alcoholic either Rattler pear cider or a pint of Stella

I really can't stand hot drinks and the time and faffing about to make them!

I'm guessing Australia, judging by the flag next to his avatar. Although it could also be somewhere in Europe, where AFAIK the drinking age is younger. Curse you and your legal drinking age, CURSE YOU I SAY!

Now you know. And knowing is half the battle. (If you couldn't tell, I love Mountain Dew in all its forms )

I drink copious amounts of coffee, and there's no finer beverage than a Gin & Tonic.

Soft drinks have to be:

Orange Lucozade (I'm addicted to the stuff)
Cherry Coke

Cups of tea always go down smooth.

Alcoholic drinks choices are:

Becks Vier/Kronenburg
Caffreys
Jagermeister
Vodka
Tequila
I'm a bit of a lightweight when it comes to drinking pints of lager and caffreys They just bloat me right up. So I usually start and end on the spirits.

Oh I used to alternate Stella with a pernot and black for some odd reason (ah youth!)

Booze.

Ohh , alcohol...

Baileys . Thats the only alcohol that tastes good

Seeing as how I work in a liquor store, my tastes are rather diverse:
Beer
Paulaner Salvator, Palm, Shiner Bock
Wine
Unruly Red, Bridlewood Viognier, Yalumba Tawny Port, Rombauer Cabernet, Cosentino's The Zin
Spirits
Tanqueray, Bombay Sapphire, Knob Creek Bourbon, Woodford Reserve Bourbon, Isle of Jura Single Malt Scotch(SMS), Talisker SMS, Balvenie SMS, Aberlour SMS, Lagavulin SMS, Highland Park SMS, Bruichladdich SMS, Oban SMS and Dalwhinnie SMS.

As you can see I am a bit more partial to Single Malt Scotch then other drinks

You're a filthy Anglican knob JEB!

I currently only drink 4 different drinks:

Black Coffee
Pineapple Juice
Water
Kirin Lager Beer

The great land of Oz. Famous for beer which tastes like crap, but, by all accounts, better than the average american beer (I probably couldn't tell the differecne), Bundy Rum (liquid hilarity/hatred. It varies from person to person) and red wine (I have seen an... umm... shall we say... Interesting? Picture of a woman... entertaining herself with a Pennfold's red wine bottle...)

Acording to the ads at the cinema, Australia's oldest family owned winery.

So, JEB. If, for some reason, I ever move to America/Go there on holiday, How likely would I be to find Bundaberg rum? Square bottle, either yellow or red label with a polar bear? And what is the legal drinking age in your state?

Though I have a bottle of Wild Turky Rare Breed that is doing afine job as well.

Jake

I've wanted to try JD Single Barrel for a while now, what's it like?

The Rare Breed I amnot such a fan of...

@JEB - I had a drop of Talisker the other week. That was an... emotional night!

for me -

Non-alchoholic: Tea. Greatest drink ever.

Alchoholic: Cuervo Tequila + fresh orange, Gin+Tonic - various Real Ales.

Chocolate milk shake or a cup of tea

alcohol is overrated and simple drinks are the best.

A good cup of tea.

Spirits:
The Balvenie, the 12 year doublewood being my favourite.
A good port after dinner.
Armagnac for fireside discussions.
Bombay Sapphire for hot summer GnTs.
Goldschlager for toasting the regiment and getting off my tits drunk in the pub.

Beer:
Abbot Ale for pleasure. Enjoy the golden ales far more than the darker ones, so if Abbot ain't about, then Otter, Gem, a couple of the Skinners Brewery ales.
Cobra Beer for curry diffusion.

Enjoying Chilean reds with dinners atm, not a huge fan of white wines but like a good Frascati Superiore with a white fish dinner (especially flatfish like sole).
