If I’m drinking, it’ll be a Irish whiskey (usually Jameson or Bushmills) neat with a lager chaser. I’m not really a party animal. My wife calls me an anti-social drinker.

In addition to wine and mixed drinks, I also selected “Other” so I could disclaim my choice of mixed drinks. I tend to like stereotypically “girly” mixed drinks like Fuzzy Navel, 7/7, etc. You won’t get me near a Martini or a Gin & Tonic.

Prefer good craft beer, but it doesn’t do my digestive system much good, so I stay with white wines for the most part.

Something like this is what I had in mind when I chose all four. No fruity mixers or punch or pink things necessary.

Beer, wine, liquor and soda please. But not all in the same glass or even at the same time. And don’t forget the soda :-).
