I like beer. I mean I really like it. Good beer, that is. American waterbeer doesn’t usually cut it but even I have been known to enjoy Rolling Rock if the conditions are just right. But ya know what? I think my all time favorite “any time is the right time” drink is going to have to be a **strawberry daiquiri**. yeah. I’m latent. So what? ---

For beer, give me a Heineken. If I’m offered a Rusty Nail (equal parts drambuie and scotch), I’d be hard-pressed to turn it down. Or for that matter, just some drambuie. Mmmboy! ---

If it’s beer we’re talking about, give me a Sierra Nevada Pale. Otherwise bourbon, neat. Buffalo Trace would be nice. Or maybe a Wild Turkey expression. ---

Henry Weinhard’s Private Reserve. Not at all bad for a macrobrew as I recall. ---

> [@guizot](#): > > There used to be an American “waterbeer” called Henry Weinberg, or something like that, but I haven’t seen it in years. It was pretty good. Henry Weinhard’s? I wouldn’t put it in the same category as Bud or Sierra. About halfway in between, for a good price. And awesome root beer. ---

Beer or death would not be a simple choice for me. I don’t like either. Give me a frozen margarita anytime. But in the perfect world, I’d be smokin’ a good after dinner joint. ---

I’ll drink anything with alcohol in it, pretty much, but I like beers with oomph like Guinness or somesuch, or single-malt scotch. But all in all, I’d rather be in **Boyo Jim** ’s perfect world. 😃 ---

Beer? I’m not much of a beer conoisseur. I’ll take either Yuengling or Guiness, depending on my mood. I’d usually rather have a whiskey on the rocks. Powers Irish whiskey. I’ll settle for Bushmills. ---

I’d be hard pressed to argue with **Boyo Jim’s** poison, but also enjoy the many fine seasonal varietals of beer, as well as a nice single malt scotch. Offer me any of the above, and I’m there. ---

I don’t drink, but I loves me some sparkling cider. Or really, sparkling anything. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/so-whats-your-poison/472902.md?page=2)
