Under the cats, mostly.
I was just sitting here musing - I have a bottle or three of smirnoff ice seeing as Rune is out playing poker with his mates tonight - and I was wondering what everyone else drinks? Especially if you're at home, and you just feel like a little splurge on yourself....

There's no place like home
Usually it's one of 2 drinks: rum mixed with pineapple or other fruit drink, or a shot of very good tequila - sipped straight up, no rocks, no salt, no lime (don't need those with good tequila).

I like spirits sometimes, but they are prohibitively expensive here so if we feel like a treat its usually just a bottle of red.

I like Vodka. I am a true Russian! LOL. I like Vodka and orange juice - that is what I usually get if I go out to a club (which is never).

But if I never had Vodka or any alcohol again in my life, I woudln't even miss it. (except maybe wine heh).

It really depends on the situation.
Summertime it's usually beer in bottles, especially at the rifle range or following a match. At clubs and parties it's rum & Diet Coke (or diet Dr. Pepper). At home in the evenings to relax, it's a rose or mild red wine (I don't like dry wines, so it has to be a semi-sweet or sweet wine).

Where my cats are
When I do drink, which is such a rare occasion that I might as well say I never do, I mix a little white wine with a lot of juice like v8 splash or something. (Is there a name for that?) I think I'd like to try some other things sometime, I just have no desire to actually get drunk or even get a buzz or anything so I never get around to it.

I chose "beer in bottl" b/c I'm a Corona Light kinda gal (when I'm not on-call, which isn't often
).

Beer in a bottle, mostly imported, usually German or Dutch brews, occasionally English (although they tend to be too hoppy for me, I find the German brews as a class fuller bodied and more malty without so much hops,) and recently some Scottish Ales as well (Belhaven.) Our domestic of choice is Rock Green Light. Wouldn't touch Bud with a 10' pole ...


On the VERY rare occasions when we get beer in a can I always feel like I'm slumming, and it goes straight from can into a beer glass or mug. Can't stand drinking beer out of a can anymore

I rarely drink actually - and when I do, it is one glass of chardonnay or a glass of beer. So I am pretty pedestrian in my tastes, lol I like a Nova Scotia beer called Schooner tho I'll also drink Alexander Keith. There is also a lemon flavoured beer made in Quebec that I like - can't recall the name tho. (In the US I tend to drink Bud Lite and in Ireland, Harp). I had a glass of rum and coke at my brother's wedding reception but that was last year, lol

Movin' on up!
Jack Daniels' is my preferred hard drink and I enjoy a snifter of Courvoisier, on cold nights. For an aperitif, I like Godiva Liqueur.

On the whole, I'm a scotch girl -- Ballantines usually, but any of several single malts (Highland Park or Dalwhinney, at the moment) for a special occasion. But I also enjoy a beer (Stella Artois, please and thanks) or a cider (the drier, the better -- especially in warm weather), and I enjoy a glass of wine with dinner -- Chateau Cardboard for everyday, a bottle of whatever goes with the meal for special meals -- the wine rack has mostly Aussie wines at the moment, and is ready to be restocked whenever I get around to it. For after dinner, a nice brandy, or almost anything brandy-based: B&B, or Rob's Own Orange Brandy, for instance, or (something we haven't done for quite a while) a dessert wine, such as Elysium.

Almost any beer I've tried except for Leinenkugels BerryWeiss (Wisconsin brew) gave me a headache. I don't drink that often. During the summer, strawberry margaritas or rum & Coke. Winter - Hot cocoa with a shot of mint schnapps.
