When you drink, what do you drink?

I'm pretty unadventurous, I guess, it's either white wine, cider or non-alcoholic drinks like Appeltiser, Fruit Juices etc.

Have tried spirits but don't really like 'em!:o

It's champagne for me all the way!

I don't need the expensive stuff, as I add a dash of orange juice, pineapple juice and cranberry juice to it.

Delicious!:-6

I love beer and the occassional margarita!

Diuretic wrote: Beer - I like English ale styles as well as lighter lager and pilsener styles. Wine - red - prefer something with some flavour - cabernet sauvignon and shiraz (hermitage) and in whites the ubiquitous chardonnay (I know, but I stil llike it) and chenin blanc but also rhine riesling style. Spirits - not very often but when I do I prefer Irish whiskey to bourbon (having had an accident with Mr Beam some years ago and been traumatised ever since ).



Not big on mixed drinks and I never drink anything that has a little hat in it :wah:


I agree. Mr Hemingway said drinks should have integrity. Never with parasols, umbrellas or flowers. Ladies should be allowed to put anything they want on or into their drinks. I'll take mine straight up, with integrity

Integrity.

A good quality in a drink.

And a man.

Diet coke...................................

Yeah, I put my groceries on the raki every week.......................:wah:

I heard that is powerful stuff!

Thank you for the link, old as the Ottomans!

I do not drink alcohol, but that does sound like an interesting drink!

Red wine (Shiraz)

Baileys with ice

Pimms



Non-alch:-

J2O - Orange and Mango

I'd love to share a glass of Shiraz with you, Bezzie Baby:-4

Oh, I would like the J2O!:)

cherandbuster wrote: I'd love to share a glass of Shiraz with you, Bezzie Baby:-4


Come on over anytime cher.



And I'll make sure there's plenty of J2O for chonsi...with lots of ice.

I usuually go non alcoholic...plain water, my new favorite juice drink, Fuze or the occasional Mountain Dew. Lemonade is big in the summer. Rick always has a pitcher of iced tea going, as well as a bottle of wine for the weekends.

My first choice would have to be whisky, preferably a mature single malt.

I'll drink other spirits apart from dark rum, but I don't enjoy them as much.

Also wines and champagne ...

So you see, I'm really NOT hard to please, :yh_wink , expensive maybe , :rolleyes: :wah:

Not really that much of a drinker of hard liquor! And don't really like beer at all, but will drink it if parched and that's all there is. So at parties, or restaurants, I usually order discuised drinks. Like: Pina Colada, Sea Breeze, Harvey Walbanger, or Bloody mary. (But once really had bad experience with a Bloody Mary :wah: )

If I want to get the job done faster(!), I put a little vodka in my Mikes.

Goes down real easy:)

Pimms with lots of fruit in summer, frothy yellow snowballs with cocktail cherries in winter.

Lager and lime for anytime and Baileys for a special treat! yum yum yum

I unwind every night with dark Bacardi and diet caffeine-free coke (see how much I love my wife?). I normally don't drink that socially because it's too easy to get too easy :p . Socially, I'm a beer man. Generally anything will do, but I really like tasting exotics and micro-brewery stuff. Bass Pale Ale on tap is best so far.

dont like gin, tennants & export, other than that i love alcohol

ah, but Snooze, did ya ever try Mezcal shooters?

Will you be wearing the DANCING TEQUILLA WORM chapeaux?

I love champagne, too and a nice Reisling.

Single malt whiskey? I am assuming you mean scotch.. I do love scotch.. but the stuff worth drinking is kind of expensive...

I drink Canadian whiskey.. even lousy Canadian Whiskey is good whiskey.. it's one of the few things the Canadians ever got right...

Love Crown and the Captain. Many mixed drinks can be made that are very good. Also enjoy the occasional glass of wine. Can't stand tekillya, gin or any foriegn beer of any kind.

I usually dring Bacardi and Pepsi or Parrot Bay and pineapple juice. I was shot happy for a while drinking Goldschlager, Ice 101, or Firewater. I got tired of waking up with half the night missing so now if I do a shot, it's a Purple zipper tooter.

Peg (O'my heart)....what in heaven is a "purple zipper tooter?"

Ignorant person

The BEST beer in the world!!!

I drink that, preferably the light one if I can get it. My other drink of choice is vodka(any but Stoli) with OJ. Also from time to time a tequila shot or 2.

Hey Di

Did you get your name from drinking too much beer?

A tooter is a drink that comes in a test tube-like thing with foil over it. Purple zipper is the flavor. Tastes just like grape kool-aid.

My point is, you didn't need to add the jab about one of the few things

the Canadians ever got right, Mr. Richard Cranium.

Yes, I did... or I wouldn't have made the crack. Hey man.. it's not like I mentioned there health care system, or their embracing traitors who desert the American military.. that would have been political.. but this isn't a political forum, so I didn't make those jibes.



Raymond

Champagne for me !!
