The alcohol thread

[Ginginho]

So, what's everyones favourite tipple?

Are you a beer, spirits or wine guy/gal?

I've ran out of beer and cider and have no wine in the house, so I am currently drinking gin and tonic.
Might have some whisky soon 

[Bogus Dave]

Beer, Ale, Wine. I can't drink spirits straight, and i'm trying to tone down by spirit-mixer usage because I can't handle it too well tbqfh

I only really drink Wine these days,if I go out ill drink beerlager but I cant afford to go out anymore than 4 times a year

[Arch Stanton]

Ale, always Ale.... At the moment I'm drinking a bottle of Old Thumper (Ringwood Brewery) and to be quite frank its...er...horrible.

Won't be buying that again.

I am a Cider drinker, to coin a phrase.

Although I'm currently drinkling a bottle of lager that was opened in order to Beer Batter the Fish for dinner. It's "Czech Premium Lager" from the Co-Op and I can only review it in that it seems nicer than most Lagers, which I really have never got the hang of.

Depends really,

A nice cold pint of Cider goes down well in the summer, but then so does a pint of Kronenberg, Amstel or Peroni.

Any European lager/beer is miles better than the usual shit like fosters, carling etc...

Tend to drink Guinness in the winter or when at the races, and the odd drop of good red wine always goes down well.

And when there is no room for any more, Vodka is always a good way to round off a session.

I'll drink virtually anything available from most off licences. Apart from neat vodka.

Don't touch spirits - anything else is fair game. White wine is a big fave.

[Ardiles]

Ale, always Ale....

Always feel a bit of a wanker saying I drink 'ale', but you have to sometimes because 'beer' also covers lager in the minds of some people...and I think of beer/ale and lager as two very different drinks.  I do occasionally drink lager in summer, but 99% of the time it's a beer (IPA in summer usually; tend to go for the darker styles like porter etc. in winter.)  I love the way that you can travel up & down the country and see local pubs supporting their local breweries.  Swindon pubs are full of Wiltshire beer, for example, as well as some that travel further.

Also worth linking to this old thread as well.

Your Five Favourite Pubs

Would be interested to hear if any of the newer posters have any good suggestions to add.

All hail the ale.

Although on a hot day I have the odd lager or cider.

JD to top off a night once capacity becomes critical.

Vodka, lemonade and lime is my tipple.  I don't mind a glass or two of white wine, but any more than that and my head is pounding the next day!

I'm having an alcohol free weekend after being extremely poorly last weekend due to over indulgence of vodka and a silly amount of shots of god knows what!

Usually cider, but tonight it's red wine.

There's a bottle of Jagermeister in the cupboard if I need it later.

[Reg Smeeton]

 Depends on the time of year....context company etc.

 Last sat, I bizarrely discovered the delights of Danzy Jones, a Welsh whiskey liqueur, courtesy of my new Czech lady chum.
