I suspect the drinks need to match posters rather than forums. I haven’t been around often enough to know people well by name, but some are clearly bitter beers, some are cocoa with whipped cream. One post is a mellow Scotch, but another is magic kool-aid. Effervescent champagne in one posting, and goat’s milk in another.  
I’m probably just plain tap water, myself, but I do enjoy reading the magic potions others proffer.

I’d probably be a vodka martini.

I like the list you done good :p.

All but GD. Tully’s a bit of a stretch for that place.

I’d say that the Pit is more Red Bull and vodka.

Or the pit and cafe society could share a Flaming Homer/Mo.

Cafe Society = white wine?

I would think it would be some fancy single malt or red wine - of it is a white, maybe a high-end sauterne like a Chateau D’Yquem…you know: we’re all “kul-cha” types here in the SDMB’s salon…😉
