or JC 1800 (and stuff the lemon and salt ya pansies!)

or if i'm in the hot tub, wodka, tonic, and lime over crushed ice. (and a straw)

however...i drink so rarely as to be a near tee-totaler so i frequently just drink the tonic and lime and preTEND. hee. no hangover that way!!

[Waddley]

Mixed drinks-
Vodka and Cran
Vodka and OJ
Anything else with vodka and a fruity mixer
Margaritas, any kind...

Shots-
Washington Apple
Lemon Drop
Buttery nipple

Beer-
Mac & Jack's African Amber
Diamond Knot's Stout
And in the event that I can't have either of these, I usually get whatever else is from another local brewery... although I haven't had and trouble getting M&J.

Wine I still haven't developed a taste for yet. All tastes like piss to me.

I seem to run in cycles.....Gin & Tonics to Bloody Mary's to Moscow Mules (when I can find Ginger Beer). On the occasional really cold winter evening we might get, Irish Coffee.

[MsMary]

I love things like vodka and tonic with a twist of lime, a seabreeze, margaritas of any kind, nice wines and good beers (especially dark beers).

I also enjoy liqueurs

I am asking for all manner of terrible replies, but jsut what IS a buttery nipple?

Here you go:

Gotta say I'm partial to c*cksuckin' cowboys...THE DRINK, you know...Bailey's floated over butterscotch schnapps???

Hehe! We call that a Butternipple around where I live. Good stuff!

My own choice of drinks? Definitely not vodka. I used to drink a lot of vodka up until I was about 20, then it suddenly started giving me terrible stomach aches. I stopped drinking altogether for a while after that, but vodka still messes with me a bit.

I'm not much of a beer drinker really, but if I'm in the mood, I like obscure ales. If it's mainstream, though, it's stuff like John Smiths.

I've recently discovered gin & orange. I've i'm on spirits, that's my choice.

Also, decent red wine. Lovely.

[aliantha]

I've pretty much quit drinking alcohol, but if I'm drinking:

hard cider
Mexican beer, preferably Sol (and ya gotta have lime in yer Mexican beer!)
If someone else is buying, Amaretto di Saronno!

Favorite non-alcoholic drinks:
Diet Coke with Lime
tea -- English Breakfast, Irish Breakfast, or lemon-ginger herbal
water

[The Leper Fairy]

What? I'm underage, I don't drink!

The other day some teammates made a drink called ecto cooler. Not especially good, but the name was pretty chouette.

[wayfriend]

My favorite drink is a high-end marguerita, in a largish size. If it's a good place, they serve them in a desert bowl.

I don't see too many marguerita fans. Somewhat dissapointed.

I mean, I like beer (porter and ESB especially), and I like wine, and I like a variety of drinks. But tequila, lime, and salt is what I die for.

Cail: do not read the above, lest you be tempted.

[Mad Hatter]

I drink quite a bit
but don't think poorly of me
for the drink that I drink
is a big cup of tea!

[CovenantJr]

Claire! Good to see you, wench!

... tequila, lime, and salt is what I die for.

To me, that has always tasted like the smell of sweaty socks. I can cope with tequila straight if someone else is buying, but the whole lime/salt thing makes me gag.

Watching a hockey game, or generally hanging out with friends:
Beer.
All kinds of Canadian beer: Kokanee, Molson Canadian, Clancy's, Sleemans, and Keiths.

Out to eat a fancy dinner:
Ceasers or russians.
Although, I drank a tonne of ceasers New Years eve a few years ago...about two quatrs of vodka's worth, that was the same year me and Lisa gave ourselves food poisoning with canned crab meat (she had polished off two bottles of wine)...man we were so sick!! I don't think I've had a ceacer since.

Out with the guys getting drunk:
Rum and water....not warm tap water like everyone's father drinks though...it has to be white rum and Ice water.

I'm a teetotaler, nothing harder than root beer for me.

No kidding? My parents love mexican beer...not sure what kind, but meh. My mom was born in TX, and they both went to law school there, and so they're big fans too.

I have drunk, both with and without parents supervision, if on a fairly small number of occasions, but nowhere near enough to have any sense of taste. I kinda get the feeling most of my classmates distinguish between beers with the same ability I do - they don't.

I suppose I'll go with mead...I've only had it once, but at least it's 'more differenter' than sammy or coors, which I believe are the ones I've had more than a sip of.

I'm not sophisticated enough to get wine. My parents both really like good wine, but they tend to get cheap stuff at Trader Joe's - "it's good for cheap wine!" I've been told.

My bro is big on japan and brought home some sake with him, somehow (for some reason I thought that was illegal, but whatever), which we had at dinner. It's not really...the same as other stuff. I didn't really like it, but I'm probably a weakling in terms of alcohol. Apparently mixing Irish, Czech, and Polish blood mixed up my ability to hold my liquor, or at least enjoy it. And we had it warm. Maybe it'd be better during a cold winter evening, like we're getting here (finally).

Honestly, I'm a bigger fan of...lemonade, and sometimes pink lemonade (often made too sweet, though). And apple juice, and apple cider. Other juices, too. And I drink too much milk (I tend to have a dinner glass of it along with my cereal). But I hate soy milk.

There was just something on PBS on the Saturday cooking shows about a deconstructed and dirty vodka martini that featured an olive lollipop so you can make the drink as dirty as you want, plus dip the pop into the drink and suck it off. It's one of the 'separating your taste from preconception' drinks offered by MIT trained chemist and mixologer Eben Klemm.

They're right!

It used to be called two buck Chuck, because for a long time a bottle only cost two dollars. I think it's around four dollars now, but for inexpensive wine it realy is terrific.

I like warm sake, but my understanding is true quality Japanese sake is not served warm, and the good stuff is like a fine wine.

Have you tried a decent hard cider yet?

I enjoy a fine cab with tomato based Italian dishes, but for me, nothing beats a tall glass of cold milk in a frosted mug along with a plate of spaghetti and meat sauce.

What he said! Throw in a shot of Cointreau or Grand Mariner for good measure and now your talking!

P.S.
Wayfriend,

I've been finding myself in agreement with you an awful lot lately! I hope something isn't wrong with me!
