Whats your poison?

Exactly what it says on the tin - favourite drinks.

Mine is a very recent addition and is actually the cheapest that I have come across. Its called perlenbach and its available in Lidl for 5e and yeah it was the price that attracted me poor student that I am. Its brewed in germany in accordance with the german brewing law and is absolutely lovely with a very dry aftertaste not unlike grolsh.

So what about the rest of you? Bonus points for anything unusual!

Dr Galen · 06-09-2009 07:31PM

When I'm out I'll drink any number of things, often to my detriment tbh.

When I'm having a few at home and have a choice then, nothing nicer than a nice cold Sam Adams Boston Lager. There'll also always be a bottle of Jim Beam in the house as well as a good vodka.

tribulus · 06-09-2009 07:50PM

Smithwicks if pub, Jameson and Coke if club or just out for the night.

At a house party then whatever beer is going.

gavney · 06-09-2009 07:55PM

Smithwick's or Jameson (with Ice- I know I know, im a wuss)

The german beer purity law has been repealed for quite some time now.

However, many German beers, for marketing purposes, continue to declare that they abide by the rule, to reassure customers that only the three permissible ingredients are used.

I'll have a Becks if yr going to the bar...

Tar.Aldarion · 06-09-2009 08:01PM

Jameson
rekorderlig
bulmers

Keano · 06-09-2009 08:02PM

Guinness, Heineken, Bulmers - it all depends on the mood and pub I am.

Amrut Cask Strength Indian Peated Malt 62.78%, strong stuff!

Nice website if I wasn't poor

Claasman · 06-09-2009 08:47PM

Grey goose, or dram and coke, they would be my favourites, but it all depends on mood...

BankMan · 06-09-2009 09:26PM

Beer: McArdles Ale, Smithwicks, Guinness

Shorts: Good Dark Rum such as Havana Club 7 yr old / Diplomat Venezuelan Rum. Also Jameson. Have a little Midleton left in a bottle too. Damn good.

daniel91 · 06-09-2009 09:36PM

Carlsberg or Heiniken.
Also love the ocassional Southern Comfort and white.

Mr Benevolent · 06-09-2009 10:35PM

Brandy & soda. Champagne is good too.

Morf · 06-09-2009 10:42PM

Pepsi 750ml, ice cold.

OldGoat · 06-09-2009 10:45PM

Havana Club is wonderful, a real +1 on that.
I drink everything really depending on the circumstances. Long hot day after golf then it has to be cider. Late at night at home, whisky. Clubbing is G&T's in strange venues or cocktails if I know the staff are capable of making them well...love mojitos and martinis.
Guinness in a pub when it's quiet, never when it's busy.

A meal out is an opportunity go have lots! G&T before going to the eatery, sherry apparitief, couple of bottles of red with dinner, port with the cheese, cognac with the coffee and cigars.

SoupyNorman · 06-09-2009 10:58PM

Large Bottles of Guinness and Smithwicks.

The local pub at home has both in stock, I think I'm the only person who drinks them.

Hellrazer · 07-09-2009 09:53AM

Jack Daniels or Vodka here.

Usually straight or either with redbull and or coke.

Gran Hermano · 07-09-2009 10:17AM

Great seeing Havana Club getting the praise it deserves, it's my preferred tipple.

If I'm in a real bar I'll have a proper pint of Guinness.

DrIndy · 07-09-2009 10:19AM

In Ireland:
Beer:
Heineken, Sol, Lech and a few other east european beers
Short:
Don't drink spirits really - but am partial to a jameson 12 or bushmills 15.

In Oz:
Coopers, Little creatures or Bluetongue.
(Mainstream Ozzie beer like VB and XXXX is not half as good)

r3nu4l · 07-09-2009 11:10AM

I like my malted scotch but so far I don't have a favourite...how can you when there are soooo many to choose from

I also love real ales and craft beers, particularly dark ales and stouts. I tend to seek out new beers quite a lot although sometimes I admit, I like to down a pint of Guinness, particularly if I'm missing home.

Living in England has it's advantages simply because the choice of beers is so huge.

I don't know enough about wine to really appreciate it but as I've gotten older I find myself liking red wine more than white or rosé.

At Christmas myself and Mrs r3nu4l love to drink a small sherry or glass of port as a nightcap before going to bed

L31mr0d · 07-09-2009 11:42AM

At home, 18 y/o Jameson... but very rarely, as it's like injecting me with horse tranquilizers.

When out I usually try to go for cocktails. I like to get drinks I couldn't/wouldn't make at home:

Top 3:
1. Mojitos
2. Strawberry Daiquiri
3. Waborita

Will usually get a Bellini if they have them, and use real Prosecco instead of just any sparkling white wine.

Dord · 07-09-2009 12:52PM

Guinness or Jameson (with no ice!)

shapez · 07-09-2009 02:52PM

Southern Comfort & Ginger Ale
or
Canadian Club & Ginger Ale.

At home I love to drink beers form Belgium, Germany, Netherlands, etc.

amacachi · 07-09-2009 03:42PM

Jim Beam all the way. Lot of pubs don't have it though, so I'll either go for JD or pints of Smithwicks or Guinness depending on mood/money.
