The title says it all: What's your favourite drink?
You're going out Friday night with your pals and you order...what?
As far as I'm concerned, I love pick-me-ups. That's Baileys with cold espresso on ice. Yummy...
All right, over to you, guys....
PS: Oh, I forgot to add: "Drink responsibly"....phew, almost forgot....
-
for me it would be crown & 7. or beer.
-
Depends on if I have to drive. If I'm drivin, just a couple of beers. If someone else is drivin, usually Crown and Coke, maybe beer and bring on the JagerBombs baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Casual drinking = real beer in a clean glass
Party'n = anything from a dark n stormy (ginger beer/ale w/dark rum) or car bombs (jameson/baileys/guinness shots)
No cheap vodka, cheap vodka inverts rooms and reveals stomach contents. ;D
-
For me, it's always been captain and cokes....
However, after spending 1 1/2 weeks in Hawaii... I have consumed well more than my fair share of the deadly Mai Tai!!! I think I'm going to have withdrawls after I leave today... :'(
-
When I'm not drivin' and I'm partying with not much to do the next day - a shot of Jose Quervo with each 20 oz best-of-the-taps beer, generally of the darker, stoutier fair.
When I'm driving - I don't go out - no fun
-
In the summer time it's Margaritas and 10 & Tonics, in the winter time a lot of wine and beer. Can't have football without beer and homemade salsa. ;D

Whatever she wants.

Hmm. I like tropical drinks. Pina Colada's are probably my favorite. I could live on those things when my family goes to Cabo San Lucas(we've been twice).
As far as beer. Corona with lime. No contest for me. Dos Equis also good. I haven't had the pleasure of trying some of the nicer beers like Guinness, etc. But I stay far away from commercialized American beer like miller/bud, etc. Not interested in piss in a bottle, thank you very much.

Guiness is nice. You should try it.

David - check out http://www.beerlabels.com and search for Bud or Miller. I think you'll like the response.

Intelligent beer consumers they are.

My dad belongs (or used to) to Jack Daniel's Lynchburg Lemondade Club. I don't know if you can even join anymore. But, basically he got this ficticious plot of land in Lynchburg, TN and they would send him newsletters once and a while about what what "happening" in town, like getting a second stop light.
The point of my story is that they sent him this really fancy bottle of JD one time for free. It wasn't a barrel, but it was like a gallon of wisky.
Anyways, thought that would interest you.

It sounds like the Tennessee Squires. I'm a card carrying member. When my wife and I were married at the distillery my wife’s wedding present to me was she managed to get me inducted. The distillery gave my wife and me a signed bottle too, as a wedding gift. The 2nd link requires info to get into it, but I don't think they check it.

Oh yes, that's it! I thought it was called something different, but I was much younger then and didn't drink JD yet.

All the other 49 states should bow down and thank Texas for their contributions. Plus look on the bright side, it's still nice weather down here in texas. In the midwest you wake up to shovel snow off your car this time of year.
-
Agreed!! One of the greatest things from Texas. Along with the music and songwriters from around there.

Let's not forget MA's contribution of Sam Adams.

:D Depends on the occasion and the company. On a daily basis, Rolling Rock [not as good since acquired by Budweiser and moved out of PA], Corona, Sam Adams, or, if money is no object, Bass. Wines with colleagues and other couples [I used to write about German wines, especially the still rare red ones]. Champagne when it's formally demanded, and with a few intimates, single-malt whisky, e.g. Aberlour--still a great value for the price. Never cared much for mixed drinks or cocktails, but gin-and-tonic is bracing in the summer when I am sweltering. A good old brandy (my favorite is Asbach Uralt) is fine after a substantial meal. Don't do this much any more because of flare-ups of gout. Gluewein--mulled red wine--is pleasant after skiing, or fantasizing about skiing. As Christmas approaches, Cheers! Professor Melon

That's not such a horrible task really. It's more a matter of BRUSHING the snow off. Don't know if Denver is considered the midwest, but we love the beauty and quaintness the snow brings this time of year. Check out this shot of our neighborhood.

In keeping with the thread....occasionally we do get snowed in....but then the kids stay home from school to build snow tunnels and snowmen and the neighbors gather to celebrate not having to go into the office whereby adult imbibing often ensues. 8)
Here's one Christmas where we got a good dump, man....the kids loved it and we joined our neighbors in Holiday CHEERS! Quite Christmasy, don't you think?
-
My favorite drink? Anything with a Proof or a Percentage!!! ;D
Seriously, Beer: Fat Tire, Anchor Steam, or Red Hook.
Wine: The Alexander Valley (Healdsburg) has some phenomenal reds ("J" Winery and The Alexander Valley Vineyards are two of my favorites).
Margaritas: Uh, HELL YES.
Vodka, Ketel One all the way.
By the way, if you want a good dessert martini (i.e. chicks dig it also). Try a "Lemon Meringue Pie Martini". Two shots each of Absolut Vanilla, Triple Sec, Sweet & Sour, and 3 shots of half & half cream. Shaken & Served Up in two chilled martini glasses. Yummy and it does pack a punch.
By the way, the HeadBlade should arrive today. Thinking about embracing the sly look before the New Year.

Don't get the wifey all up in arms before the holidays though... :o
-
Yeah, it's probably a good idea to wait until the New Year to go sly, but it sure is tempting.

One of the smoothest, best beers I've EVER tasted was brand called "Yngling."
Has anyone else heard of this brand? They have a regular ale and a black&Tan. Apparently it's only sold on the East coast, maybe even just the NorthEast. I lived in Philadelphia for a stint and that's all I drank. But I haven't seen it since I left Philly.
-
I've had Yuengling beer when I visited my bro-in-law in Maryland. Haven't seen it out here in Nor.Cal, but I did enjoy it when I was back east. It is very smooth, and surprisingly inexpensive.

You mean this stuff:

I had some when I lived in Maryland... it's pretty good stuff (and I'm not a beer drinker). I think it's only available on the east coast and specifically, the mid-Atlantic states.
-
Yep, that's the stuff....
-
Ever try Red Hook IPA? Brewed in Washington State. Very nice beer.
-

Yes, I have...I like IPA's as they tend to have a higher alcoholic content ;D
Speaking of alcoholic content....what about those Belgian brews that come only in 20 to 32oz that are like 9% to 11% and cost like $7 to $10 bucks for a quart? mmmmMMMMMMmmmmm.
-
I think the highest alcohol content brew I've had has been Mirror Pond (7% abv). I usually drink my beer for taste. If I just don't want to pass "GO" or collect $200, I'll go straight to Vitamin "V" (vodka) or Jack Daniels.

Those are yummy! I go to BevMo (http://www.bevmo.com) all the time to buy that type of beer. Duvel is my favorite! http://www.beerlabels.com/labels/beers.pl/125/brouwerij-moortgat.html

I live in texas, we got our one snow for 20 years two years ago. But I strongly dislike cold weather anyways. The best thing about snow was school cancellation, easy. As far the car thing, when my car ices it is difficult to get it off. One time was horrible in college when I had my car outside at my apartment complex in winter. My car was frozen.

Scotch .... MaCallan's .... neat
