I really don't drink much. A lot of alcoholic drinks tend to taste how a lot of art products smell which tends to put me off. I do however love some of the sweeter, fruity wines, and things like fuzzy navels and pina coladas (tho I've had some that were nasty.) When I was in Italy I had this sweet strawberry wine which was amazing!! I can't remember the name of it but they don't export it so there's really like a 0% chance that I'd ever have the chance to drink it again. There's also a local winery here called Wlydwood and they have some pretty good Elderberry wines.

I rarely drink alcohol, but when I do I choose from 1 of the following:
Beer: Coor's Light
Liquor:
Captain Morgan's Dark Amber Rum with Diet Coke and Lime
Vodka Martini, up and dirty with extra olives
Wine:
A dry white or red, most often a Chardonay or a Shiraz
Most of the time I just stick with water or Diet Coke.

I'm very much a beer drinker. I met my BF in Boston at a beer fest, when he lived in CA and I lived in PA. Most of my friends I know through beer.
I've traveled to Belgium 3 times for the beer, and to Santa Rosa up in Sonoma County 3 or 4 times for the great breweries up there, along with a bit of wine tasting. But mainly for the beer. I'm part of The Long Beach Hopheads, we meet on Thursdays at a local beer bar or brewpub on Thursdays. I have a Thursday night class this semester, though, so I've been missing lots of beer nights. That said, if there's no good beer around, I'll drink Pabst Blue Ribbon. Haha.
Otherwise, my fave beer style is the sour beers- lambic, gueuze, blends from Cantillon or Hansens from Belgium (very hard to find lately in the US though), or in the US Cascade, Russian River and Lost Abbey have some really good sours. If you like dry white wines, you might like a sour beer, or funky beer brewed with brettanomyces. If there are no sours around or it's out of my budget, then give me some IPAs! You can't beat a good West Coast IPA like Russian River Blind Pig, RR Pliny the Elder, RR IPA, Green Flash West Coast IPA, Bear Republic Racer 5 IPA, and on the east coast I like Victory Hop Devil, and a bunch of their other beers too. From Canada I like the Unibroue Belgian-style beers. Sometimes I like a good barleywine like Stone Old Guardian, or Sierra Nevada Bigfoot. Or a big bad Imperial Stout like Stone's Imperial Rissian Stout or AleSmith Speedway Stout, or Victory Storm King. Usually, though, I gravitate to the IPAs, and we always have one on in the kegerator. Firestone Walker Union Jack IPA is on tap now! OK, that's enough on beer. Sorry..
You might've had Young's Chocolate Stout, it's a nice, creamy stout, I hear it's good in a float too. Purple label.
I also drink wine on occasion, but I usually buy 2 Buck Chuck from Trader Joe's. I also like mixing white wine with a berry sparking or seltzer water to make a wine spritzer thing. I rarely drink liquor, but sometimes I'd mix cherry vodka into some homemade lemonade, that's pretty good. Or vodka and OJ, when we're overrun with oranges from the tree.

Bud. or any cheap beer. Vodka and diet coke
I just got a single of parrot bay coconut to try. Easy to please for most part-hate going to brothers as hes got to many beers I have never heard of
i don't care for wine at all. but i love beer. dark ales and IPAs. especially from Stone Brewery. the Yard House usually has a good variety of Stone on tap and they just added a black ale that's my new favorite called 'Stone Sublimely Self-Righteous Ale'.
i don't like Bud, Coors etc or any of the Blond beers.

LOL! One of the guys at work turned me on to Red Cat. He's the same guy who turned me on to Mad Elf last winter and we ended up splitting a case. In PA, we have liquor stores and we can always find White Cat in the stores. It's really not bad stuff at all. I like the white more than the red.Originally Posted by MoochNNoodles
I knew there was a reason I like you so much Pam!I actually have a bottle in the fridge too! My very last one!! Unfortunately I'm not doing any drinking these days. I just look at it wistfully....
Some day if I ever get a chance to meet you, I'll make sure to bring a bottle of RC white with me!!
I was told our liquor stores can order it for us; but they want us to order an entire case. DH doesn't drink more than a few sips of whatever I'm having...so that would last me ages! And I guess in my state we can't order it directly. Maybe you can get it easier because you are closer to the winery itself. They are missing out on good stuff down here!!
Meeting up over a bottle of Red or White Cat would be fantastic!!
I love white wine Pinot Grigio mainly,I don't like red wine at all.At the minute though I am a lambrini girl due to lack of funds,lambrini is my treat and I must say it has grown on me.x

I don't drink anymore, but when I did, I would drink a variety of things, but NOT at the same time. My favorites were Bud beer, "Girl Scout Mint Cookie" drink, which if I remember was equal parts of Irish cream, Peppermint Schnapps, and Kahlua, or (Rigel will like this), Tequila shots with salt and a slice of lime. I would be able to only do 3 or 4 of those.
I haven't had a drink now in over 2 years and do not miss it one bit.

A good cold budweiser with clamato and this one a shot of baileys,a shot of a good rye and the rest chocolate milk in a good sized tumbler...
