Well, inspired by [this pit thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=88602) and my impending departure to a bar, I’m deciding to increase my repertoire of drinks. Personally, I’m a Crown and Coke kind of guy. So what’s _your_ poison of choice? ---

Um… I like Mike’s Hard Lemonade… and chocolate daquiris… Mixed drinks, I’ll take whatever you throw at me. :shrug: If I’m mixing my own, I usually make buttery nipples, because they’re layered and therefore fun. ---

Im a GT man, but I really enjoy White Russians(“Caucasians”) and fruity frozen drinks like Piña Coladas, Daqueries, and Margaritas. I think if I were stuck on a beach for the rest of my life with a private bartender I would drink mostly sangria or Tinto con Límon(Red wine with lemonade, a popular drink in Spain). ---

Coffee with milk and a double shot of Kaluha. Nice after-dinner drink. ---

Margarita, Bloody Mary, and straight shots of tequila. ---

Tanqueray and Tonic, my favorite drink. I don’t like anything colored pink. ---

Margaritas. 🙂 Though I now also have a special place in my heart for this chocolate-minty drink that’s _just_ like Thin Mints. ---

Vodka and coke, if I’m going for the hard liquor. If I just want a beer, either Killians, Bass, Harps or Guiness (in that order). All from tap, please! ---

Good choice of beers, **TruePisces**. I’d move Guinness into a tie for first with Killian’s, though. 🙂 Lately I’ve become a gin martini man. Vermouth? Pah. Hold up the glass and say “vermouth” over the gin, and then you’ve got a good martini. ---

I’m a big fan of sex on the beach. (Not the drink, you alkies! 😉 ) (Sorry **ultra** , couldn’t pass that up. 🙂 ) I make homemade ginger beer (unfermented, non-carbonated), and man, an ice-cold glass of rum and ginger beer suuuure does go down easy. At a bar, I just like a whiskey & Coke. ---

I felt like sharing that, as beer goes, I don’t think you can go too wrong with Sam Adams. I particularly recommend the cherry wheat. ---

Martinis; bourbon highballs and bourbon Old-Fashioneds (hold the fruit salad; just a twist of lemon, please); Chiantis and St. Emilions and Spanish _tintos_; cheap American Pilsener beers from smallish breweries…not microbreweries, I mean breweries like Piels and Strohs and such. And Guinness stout, now that I’ve been to Ireland. ---

I am one of those weird ones who has numerous favorite drinks. It all depends on the mood. If I want a cold beer on a hot day: Shiner Bock If I want a warm beer after dinner: Guinness If I want to get drunk: Screwdrivers (vodka and OJ) If I want a cocktail: Cape Cod If I want a shot of whiskey: Murry McDavid If I want a shot of Tequila: Silver Petron’, cold If I want a mixed shot: Kamakazi (vodka and sour mix I think) I guess Shiner would be my favorite since I drink it the most, but I do love my Screwdrivers. ---

Vodka with lime and 7Up, Guinness, boilermakers (the real beer-and-shot kind… don’t give me any of this Dr. Pepper bs), and, when I’m feeling particularly candy-assed, screwdrivers with either vodka or gin. ---

Agree with most of the beer recs. I like Sierra Nevada and Whitbread as well. Bombay Sapphire (gin) & Tonic Rye (Old Overholt) and seven - try it, you’ll like it! Gold Patron tequila (room temp) to sip with a beer Johnny Walker Black (scotch) & water Colorado Bulldog Maker’s Mark Manhatten ---

Irish coffee, if I’m not serious about getting plastered. Otherwise, gimmie Crown and Coke. ---
