[Homer] Beer! beer! beer! [/Homer] If Iā€™m at home or at a friendā€™s house, itā€™s mainstream beer (anything except dark beer or VB ). If Iā€™m at a pub/club I switch to a classier brew. Something imported (Becks, Stella, (or Cascade - šŸ˜‰ to the Aussies) if thatā€™s all I can get, but preferably, a local microbrew. My favourite styles are pilsners and pales. ---

Toasted Almond, or Kahlua & cream. But I have them so rarely, I canā€™t even remember the last time. ---

Margarita when itā€™s warm, Irish Coffee when itā€™s cold, or a good microbrew with food. ---

My usually tipple is lots and lots of Guinness. My fav. drink of all time is a Thai rice whiskey called Sang Thip. Gorgeous with Sprite and ice and very very cheap in Thailand. Has a lot of additives in it which act like Red Bull so it keeps you going like the duracell bunny šŸ™‚ ---

Baileyā€™s & Coffee Bourbon & Coke Margarita (strictly on the rocks) Bloody Mary Someone once told me that I like ā€œold manā€ drinks.

If Iā€™m looking to get squiffed, Iā€™ll stick with nice icy cold shots of vodka. My vodkas of choice are Stolichnaya or Wybarova (sp?), a Polish potato vodka thatā€™s fantastic IMO. Havenā€™t seen it around these parts lately, though. If Iā€™m not in a vodka-drinking mood, my choice is bourbon on the rocks. When Iā€™m out socializing, Iā€™ll usually stick to Seven and Sevens or vodka and tonic if Iā€™m drinking that night. ---

You know, the more I think about it I should have said that my favourite drink is a **REAL** bloody maryā€¦ i.e. one not made from a mix, with tabasco and celery. Theyā€™re almost impossible to find. Surprisingly though, Red Lobster makes a pretty good one. ---

Ever had a Mary made with Absolut Peppar? 'Twas recommended to me by a bartender once, andā€¦ it was OK, though I prefer the Original Version. I once went to a brunch place where you could ā€œbuild your ownā€ Bloody Mary (the bartender did the work and controlled the liquor content, but you got to choose from an assortment of ingredients and garnishes)ā€¦ Turns out I donā€™t make such a good one. ā˜¹ ---

Depends where I am. If itā€™s a place that makes it well, then sangria (but only if itā€™s the real thing, otherwise I donā€™t bother). Otherwise, in order of preference, red wine (but again, only if itā€™s a place where they have something that doesnā€™t taste like tree bark). If itā€™s a regular-type bar, I usually begin to wish I liked beer, but I donā€™t. Iā€™ve tried a bunch of kinds, and I hate them all. Then, depending on the mood, I might order something rum-based (rum & Coke if Iā€™m trying to stay awake, or a Daiquiri or rum with something fruity if I donā€™t want caffeine), or maybe something girly like Kahlua & cream.
