I love to drink Smirnoff Ice. I love all the flavors except the triple black, green apple, and the watermelon. I also love sex on the beach and margaritas. There's a shot I had on my 21st birthday, called a red-headed **** shot .. It was amazing! I dont like shots, but I had like 4 of them, one being a double. They were sooo good. I can't drink beer, because of a bad experience in college, and I hate wine.

I love Reisling white wine, oh it is soo good!! As for beer I like those Miller Chills, kinda like Corona with lime, it's brewed with the lime though, for mixed drinks I love cranberry juice and vodka, has to be Skyy vodka, bloody mary's, also with Skyy, and I love tequila too, as shots or in margaritas

I like a beer that isn't too heavy - Corona, Stella, Heineken. We generally buy Corona for ourselves.

As for wine, I like white, but have never been a red drinker. Once again, I like a fairly light, crisp wine.

Spirits, I love Bundaberg Rum and Coke. That is my favourite drink
A couple of those and I'm happy.

I like white and red wines, though not Cabs or Chardonnays. I like champagne, too. For mixed drinks I like Manhattans. But at the ballpark, beer rules. Go A's!

I'm not much for mixed drinks though.
I swear that I give to you 100% truth on this. It is a margarita. But as far as I know, you can no longer get anything in the United States that resembles a margarita, especially here in Texas. If you want a real margarita now, you must step across the border. There are all kinds of bartender guides you can buy. They all have recipes for margaritas. Just try and get one in a bar. Ha! No way anymore. As long as I am ranting, the very same thing is true for nachos.

OMG, how good would be a REAL margarita and plate of nachos right now!

I usually go for mixed drinks (margaritas or rum and coke) but I like a good blackberry wine too. I'm not much of a drinker at all so there are plenty of kinds I've never even tried.

Not all us Wisconsinites are that way!


I rarely drink, but if I do it's usually a Pina Colada or a Margarita (strawyberry or regular). I try to drink only rum based drinks, b/c for some reason I can handle them better and I don't get a headache or hungover.


I also like shots of Amaretto or spearmint schnapps.


I can't stand beer.

Chocolatinis.
I miss the Martini bar by my old house. It was $$ ($10), but really that's all you needed to spend to get toasted.

Next is wine: red or white...non of that pink stuff for me though. Reds are typically Shariz or Cabernet Sauvignon (or a combo of the two) semi-dry, Whites are semi-sweet Reislings.

Sangrias are also in the mix (but not so much the one mix I found on the net...one glass knocked me on my errr..butt.

Finally, beers, well, I do Corona Lights or Miller Lites. If I really want to drink though, Newcastle or Boddingtons all the way

Are you OK? Actually, I used to make peach wine. I would go to the supermarket when the peaches were starting to rot (the perfect condition for wine) and offer the manager a dime on the dollar, and they would always take it. Yes, I had quite the winery. In fact, I am in my office where I have a 480 bottle wine rack, and I can spy a bottle of peach wine from 1988. I do not have a clue what a Cosmopolitan is. But I ranted elsewhere that it was impossible to get a margarita in Texas. I am quite familiar with the Cosmo magazine and am trying to conjure up an image of what the drink would consist of....

Scotch -- a couple of rocks, a little water
G&T in the summer
Beer -- Stella Artois -- in the summer
Wines -- both red and white -- beyond that it depends on what it's going with for the most part

A Cosmopolitan is made with vodka, cranberry juice, triple sec, and lime juice. I never watched the show but I guess someone on Sex and The City drank them a lot so it became a trendy drink.

I've had that wine too! I bought it when I was having some of my girlfriends over and they were dying of laughter at the choice of wine.

No...we didn't become any at the end of the night...just really toasted
