The Sword and Laser discussion
SO what are YOU drinking?
See Thats No Fun.I drink Tea, Pepsi Max, Nos, Ginger Ale or Juice mostly but I'm talking about those times you indulge in an adult beverage.
Mezcal, straight. Chased with a cold beer. It´s all the rage in Mexico these days although it may be hard to find in the US.
Mostly water. Iced tea. Sometimes a Coke. Less frequently a Yuengling.
Gerolsteiner mineral water. Wish it kept the bubbles longer.
I too tend to favor the various "flavored-whiskey" varieties. Jim Beam Honey and Fireball Whiskey are current faves. Also enjoy the various flavored "moonshines" that seem to be the rage these days. Midnight Moon Blueberry and Blackberry in particular do the trick for me. Jaegermeister always works too!
Alcoholic beverages of choice include Mead, Cider,(especially cloudy English) and most drinks with Rum and a variety of cocktails. Non alcoholic favourites are black tea, coffee, and iced tea
Single Malt Scotch. And good Bavarian/Franconian beer :-)
Diet Mountain Dew by the caselot. With dinner (Indian food, mostly), Reed's Extra-Sharp Ginger Brew. When I do have a more sophistimacated beverage, I tend towards stouts or porters.

I don't. That was the point :)"
And Ginger Ale is plenty of fun. I love that stuff! Though in Japan, I must admit I used to mix it with plum wine, which is a really yummy combo. I miss plum wine. I used to drink it a lot. It has a really low alcohol percentage and comes in cartons, and I pretty much treated it like fruit juice....that is a bad thing to admit, isn't it?
When I was in Edinburgh recently, I tried a little BenRiach 15 year old (Tawny Port) which turned out to be an oddly sweet tasting whiskey, brewed in tawny port casks for added flavour. There was something creme caramel about it. I swear, it was like desert and whiskey in a glass. :)
I'm usually a craft beer person, but I'm working through a 12 pack of Negra Modelo I picked up for Cinco de Mayo. I drink em with a fat wedge of lime shoved into each bottle.At the moment, though, I'm drinking a smoothie -- the second one I've ever made!
I used to have the bookstore frappacinos every day. That was bad.
plenty of red wine when I'm not drinking cocktails at Locanda (best cocktails in SF!)

Yeah Mezcal is in every liquor store around here
That´s good to know... buy it! Drink it!
I prefer Tequila to Mezcal...Cabo Wabo :)
My local brewery, Bradfield, makes some truly stunning ales. I've just had their Farmer's Blonde, which is one of the best beers I have ever quaffed, and their Brown Cow is not far behind.http://www.bradfieldbrewery.co.uk/
I've been on painkillers lately (major back injury and surgery and then revision surgery) so I haven't been able to drink. Mostly it's been water for me, sometimes I make it special with the Poland Spring sparkling water (tonight: pomegranate!).When I can drink, I'm partial to bourbon (Woodford Reserve) and beer (I prefer stouts). I also brew my own beer...again, when not broken. :\ I miss being not broken.
I drink Southern Tier's beers. I haven't found one I haven't liked.
A friend gave me a bottle of Larceny bourbon and it's good, I'm liking it. I've also been digging Terrapin beers lately, especially the Golden Rye. As for wine, we're moving and thought it would be funny when we bought a bottle of a red called "House Wine" but it's actually very good!
I drink LOTS of Dr Pepper. No alcohol for me!
Koenig ludwig dark wheat beer for me.
Guinness is my go-to drink but do like a nice cask ale. I'm quite liking Fraoch (a heather beer brewed in Scotland) at the moment. And there's always room for a nice single malt at the end of the night.
Fuller's Black cab stout or Crabbie's ginger beer is the alcohol of choice. If I really feel like having a nice drink I'll have some single malt or a daiquiri (if I want something sweet).
Lately, I've been on a bit of a gin kick. I'm particularly enjoying Far North Spirits Solveig gin as well as North Shore Distillery's Distiller's Gin #11 and Mighty Gin (an overproofed gin that makes excellent gimlets, imho).Other than gin, my favorite drinking spot (Eat Street Social in Minneapolis) just put out their spring cocktail menu and I'm particularly enjoying a cocktail that features Pimm's and tequila.
I've also been imbibing a bit of Michter's rye whiskey.
Currently having a wee dram of Jura Turas-Mara single malt. Pure heaven in a glass.
Really liking Jack Daniels' Tennessee Honey and Fireball. As far as beer goes, Hangar 24's Orange Wheat is my usual, although I am also a big fan of their Palmero. Recently had some of The Dudes Brewing's Grandma's Pecan which was outstanding as well.
Beer. All kinds. I like to try them all :)
The cool Black Stuff in a warm pint and chilled Jameson.When not having a taste, I drink Code Red, 5Hr's, and Monster, but the one without sugar—I know, like it really matters. I think my wife likes better when I drink booze instead of this crap. :)
Always wine and often beer. Pinot for wines lately and for beer a local brew called St Arnolds which has many flavors.
Coffee, coffee, coffee! Espresso, lattes, and even some tea. :-) ☕️
last night I enjoyed a Lagunitas' Nighttime ale! it was quite tasty!
I drink southern wine, which is known as sweet tea in other places. It's as hard as I get, lol.
I'm lucky enough to have a couple of really good local breweries, the best being Central Waters. They have one multiple gold medals for variations of there Bourbon Barrel Stout. I also travel a lot for work, and when I'm in different areas, I like to go with more regional and local brews, have found some good ones that way.
Glenfarclas scotch when I want to linger over a drink. Maker's Mark and Diet Coke when I just want to drink.
Shipwreck rum, on the rocks, is divine.beer, I like me a Guinness or an Old Rasputin. Any great stout or porter.
It was too hot in sf today so we drank rose (put an accent on it) on our stoop

last drink I had was red wine, but I usually drink Bloody Maries, Tequila, Long island Ice tea, A lot of Whiskey,Arak, I use to be into jagher when I was younger, now after a night in hell, not so much...I usually stick to long island ice tea these days, and the occasional shot of tequila...
Been on a hard cider kick lately. The commercial stuff is difficult to tolerate though, as most of it is flowered up with all sorts of non-apple product. Thank goodness my uncle makes his own hard artisan cider, so yay family! In fact, we're considering planting the farm to cider trees.
Just had a cup of hot milk with cookies. Mmm. Great stuff.
Am slowly drawing down the lovely bottle of Oban I got for Christmas. this is a bit of a stretch but it mentions The Teleportation Accident, which was one of my favorite reads last year... http://www.bustle.com/articles/58427-...
I've been into Mules lately...the Moscow variety with Vodka, the Southern variety with Bourbon,or my favorite, the Dark and Stormy variety with rum
RuthAnn wrote: "I've been into Mules lately...the Moscow variety with Vodka, the Southern variety with Bourbon,or my favorite, the Dark and Stormy variety with rum"Try the Peruvian version: chilcano de pisco. It is a mule style cocktail that uses pisco as the base spirit. It's so good. I drank way too many of them this past summer.
Over the summer I was at a dinner that featured cognac from Pierre Ferrand and I became an instant fan. I've since purchased a bottle each of Pierre Ferrand Réserve, Pierre Ferrand Sélection des Anges and Pierre Ferrand Esprit des Dieux and I've enjoyed them all very much, especially the Sélection des Anges.
For me it's been homebrewed Chocolate Hazelnut Porter, Glennfiddich, and Fireside Bourbon. All mixed in a big glass together.
Joseph, I can't quite make out what's in the picture. I think I see Kraken gin, some bitters (Bittercube?), and a bottle of beer? What were you making? I love the tiki glass.Edit:
I zoomed in on the picture and I'm guessing the Kraken is rum not gin? And the bottle that I thought was beer is ginger beer?
What are you drinking alcohol wise?
I've recently discovered that Evan Williams Honey reserve is very very good and insanely affordable next to say Jack Daniels and it's Honey Whiskey. Is also a lot less harsh. Its good over rocks or mixed with Ginger Ale.
If Its beer Guinness or Harp and I've Fallen in love with CB Craft Brewers; Joe Latte which is a coffee Vanilla Stout. Its from a local Micro brewery.
