i don't drink much anymore... i recommend everyone try the new "budweiser e" drink though, just to experience the taste sensation of someone vomiting in your mouth...beer & redbull mixed together, ergh :sick:
Wine of any description (as long as it's good)
2nd choice Vodka and Diet Pepsi
3rd Stella (although it makes me sneeze) or 1664 (which dosen't) :scratch:
As for me, I like my Boddingtons and some Malibu and Coke, but my favourite has to be Baileys.

Cider. But not Strongbow. Or (shudder!) Woodpecker. The proper ciders: Dry Blackthorn, Copperhead, Gaymers Old English.
And, of course, scrumpy. Oooh, haven't had that in years. For the benefit of other posters from Bolton, I think they still serve it in the Howcroft Inn, on Vernon Street. They used to serve Addlestone's, on draught, in the Albion (Moor Lane). Scrumpy. On draught. God, I used to love Friday nights in there...
A mate of mine once went on a cycling holiday in Devon. He was a very enthusiastic drinker, though I think a wife and two kids will have slowed him down a bit now. :p: Anyway, he wandered into one of the old pubs in Devon - you know the sort, no building anywhere else for miles - and, having heard how strong scrumpy was, he asked for a pint.
You can guess where this is going, can't you...?
The pub went quiet; it was rather like that scene in Mort, but this was years before I discovered Terry Pratchett. The landlord confirmed my mate wasn't from around those parts, but served him anyway without comment. He said he only realised afterwards that everyone else had half-pint mugs or less, but he drank the scrumpy, and greatly enjoyed it. He then bade a cheery farewell and started on his way.
It's a tribute to his constitution and drinking skills that he nearly made it to the door before his legs forgot what they were for. :D
Howcroft Inn, on Vernon Street, they do the beer festival there dont they :drool: :beer:

Also Cider - preferably Magner's, but also Strongbow (sorry Anonymouse...) - not a fan of Blackthorn though.
Otherwise, it's Stella Artois or even Budweiser for me... How uncouth am I? ;)

I used to like absinthe....well I suppose I still do but have not touched it since 1999 and I don't think I ever will.
Others? Cherry coke, American Cream Soda....and my daughter's strawberry Ribena :disturbd:

Red Wine - specifically Cabernet Sauvignon - or Black Russian, if I'm drinking cocktails, and Irish whiskey (e.g. Black Bush) or Bourbon (e.g. Jack Daniels) when it comes to spirits.
I also love a nice cold original Coke (i.e. NOT that sugary yucky Pepsi!) or a darn good cuppa - if it's a thirst I want to deal with.
teetotal as of two weeks ago!!! prior to that tho, alcopops ie: blue wkd, silver wkd, bacardi breezers, reef was my tipple ....... and not missing them yet !

Lots of favourites, but water is what I drink the most (just tap water). If I have some pop, it's preferably Fanta Fruit twist. I'm also partial to a nice strong, sweet milky coffee.
At one stage, after doing Judo, if asked "What's your poison?" I used to reply DDT. The bar staff knew me and that I liked a Double Diet Tango - two glass bottles of Diet Tango in a one pint glass. :)

Jack daniels straight.
Jim Beam Straight
Bushmills Straight
Vodka, blavod or black death yup you guessed it straight.
Carling premier
Strongbow cider
Worthingtons creamflow
and Irish Guinness i.e not the muck they serve over here.
I rarely drink these days, mainly because I'm back in training (I will get back onto that pitch!). However, when the urge takes me I like champagne, or a nice bottle of wine (Barolo, Corvo, Rully, Volnay are all faves). On the very rare occasions I take a beer, it will probably be a Guinness - especially when in Ireland.

Glenfiddich. No water, no ice. :)
A man after my own heart. Add ice and before you know it you have a glass of whisky-flavoured cold water.
Southern Comfort and Bourbon, mixed
Drambuie and whiskey, mixed
Ricard and iced water
Dark Rum and Cola
Most Shiraz wines
Brains RD Dark Ale
Coctails, Vodka blends, Rum coctails, fruity tropical blends, etc.
Though I do appreciate a good wine with a good meal.

Oh, I nearly forgot - a few years ago I got into the cocktail thing, and even now cannot resist a banana daiquiri... a couple of years back I spent two weeks in Barbados drinking not much else... it was one of the better things about my honeymoon!

Voddy and Pepsi Max ;) only enough pepsi max to colour it though, no point in drowning it :D
Regards.
My favourite vodka I only drink a measure to see the new year in, as it can only be bought on the ferry to France.
Vladivar Gold 57% alcohol, take your breath away.
Baileys...
Tia Maria
Or Baileys and Tia Maria.
Or if i want something more refreshing i drink vodka lime and lemonade, or lager!!

57% alcohol :scratch:
I had 151 rum in the dominican republic a few years ago, I was wasted after 2 drinks, then someone told me the next day what the 151 means. :erm:

Archer's Aqua, Bacardi Breezers, WKD - or J2O if I don't want alcohol.
Typical Essex Girl really! :D :drunk:
Or champagne for a special occasion - suffice it to say I don't drink that very often!

that is the highest % alcohol you can get by conventional distillation :drunk:
for me -
beer is best bitter, never lager
wine is any big dry red
spirits is tequila or brandy

Actually Marky, I still have a bottle of it somewhere. The label is hilarious, but frightening. Warnings about how it shouldn't be left near a naked flame, should never be drunk neat etc etc

Don't drink those in public Wayne - you will start all sorts of rumours! ;)
ok some of you will not like this but i do and it all ways makes bar peple look at me a bit odd .
stage 1: ask for a 1/2 pint of lager in a pint glass. (this bit makes them start to think some thing is up)
stage 2 : ask for a smirnoff ice black or red it is up to you it all is going down the same way .
stage 3 : mix the sumirnoff ice and lager in the pint glass you now have a SUPER SHANDY .

i used to drink smirnoff ice black and stella mixed
Beer - 1664 - dont like the blanc stuff or a nice pint of GB
Spirits - Proper Vodka straight from the freezer (good vodka doesnt freeze) Nostrovia
Girly drinks - Blue WKD - Red Square
Wine - Anything good - South African Red rocks my world.
Whiskey - Wild Turkey
When I was a kid used to drink bottles of cheap cider on street corners.. I still have a taste for the stuff and once or twice a year a bottle of white lightining is refreshing, even if it has never seen an apple...

Vodka and 7UP, Rum and Coke, or Bacardi and Coke - the latter two I like with a bit of lime and no ice. Prefer Morgan's dark rum - can't stand Lambs.
If I am out and it is a proper pub, bitter then move onto JD and coke. If it is a bar, then lager.
At home, usually lager then move onto JD and coke.

Beer and wine for me :D with together some times. :D
Purely beer for me :)
Banks's Original is my number one, but I can normally only get that when I visit the Family Nug (although I do tend to stock up then :disturbd: )
Failing that, Tetleys when I'm at home, Guinness if I'm in town, or whatever the guest bitter is in our local (not too fussy really :D )
At home -
Neat malt whisky - usually Glenmorangie or Glenlivet
Dark or golden rum
Southern Comfort
Stella
Out
Guinness
Stella
(rarely) London Pride or Black Sheep Ale
Red wine (Aussie, SA or South American)

Cant beat a nice pint os Smithwicks
Any good Cask Condition bitter
Malt Whisky
Around where I live we can get bottles of Export Guiness 7.5% as well as Nigerian Guiness, also 7.5%. The Nigerian Guiness is a little bet sweeter then Irish Guiness due to them using Sorgham wheat in the brewing.
A man after my own heart. Add ice and before you know it you have a glass of whisky-flavoured cold water.
Those plastic water filled ice cubes are great for "on the rocks" drinks, when they melt they don't contaminate the good stuff :D

Yeah, not too keen on it though.
My fave of those would have to be Erdinger.
Beer/lager wise:
Grolsch for Lager
and when I can get it:
De Koninck (http://www.dekoninck.be/en/index.htm), not easy to find in the UK unfortunately :( (though at some point in time there were two places in Nottingham serving it)
And then there's the two words that don't go together (allegedly): beer and cherry. Yes, Cherry beer! We have a place locally that has Liefmans Kriek on tap. It's lovely, (unlike many krieks, it's not very sweet, but rather tangy). I've seen some rather sceptical people admit they actually like cherry beer after tasting Liefmans :)
