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

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

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

At a house party then whatever beer is going.

gavney

The german beer purity law has been repealed for quite some time now.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

Jameson
rekorderlig
bulmers

Keano

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

kaimera

up in dub...well these days it's pilsner from the offy while we wait for the home brew to finish.

if cant find pils...stella on draught.

i do my jameson tho; got 3 bottles of different variety at home from passing thru duty free. nom nom

Tar.Aldarion

Do you have a honey tinted one? i've always wanted to try that jemmy

Love sitting around in the pub with some straight jameson in good glasses, oh baby. :-D

kaimera

Tar.Aldarion

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

Nice website if I wasn't poor

Claasman

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

BankMan

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

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

Mr Benevolent

Brandy & soda. Champagne is good too.

Morf

Pepsi 750ml, ice cold.

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

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

Jack Daniels or Vodka here.

Usually straight or either with redbull and or coke.

Gran Hermano

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

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

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

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

Guinness or Jameson (with no ice!)

shapez

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

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

amacachi

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.

Snowie

I don't really enjoy alcahol I get drunk on 2 pints ive got a motablisim like well its unreal i can feel alcohol entering my blood stream...

Red wine gives me a indigestion type feeling... Pints make me feel like a half full water ballon... sprits just send me to the point of complete madness

Black sambooca

DenMan

Me and shots are not a good idea.

Can't wait for Jägerbombs this weekend.

MediaTank

Havana Club Cask Strength is wonderful from a brandy snifter, as is San Cristobel 20 year old. For beer I like Aventinus or one of my own brews such as Woodfordes Ale. For wine I'm enjoying the last of a case of '95 Bordeaux at the moment.

peadar91

well it depends on the situation.
havin a few cans with the lads - coors or fosters.
in a pub - bulmers or bud.
in a disco or a club - sambuka or liquid cocaines.(its not the drug, just a name:(:p)

Half glass of red bull + shot of yager.

You drop the shot glass into the red bull (the bomb) and down it.

Good stuff.

omb0wyn5ehpij9

If i'm in a pub/club or at a party, I would usually drink Bulmers before moving onto vokda and coke.
If i'm just having a few quiet drinks, it will be either Bulmers or Kopparberg lemon and lime!

MudSkipper

Guinness if in a good guinness pub, otherwise stella or carlsberg

At home usually have some bottles of grolsch in the fridge

Also usually have a nice bottle of whisk(e)y around, being a 12yr old jameson or bushmills or a nice single malt from bonnie scotland, whichever catches my eye in the off-license :pac:

+1 for the Jim Beam. I leave the good stuff for special occasions.

As for beer, I utterly love Lidl's Perlenbacher. Perfect for the hot Summer day. Also Spaten, very refreshing.

robs

Pint bottle of Bulmers with a pint glass and loads of ice.
Apple of course

robs

A glass of Black Bush with a splash of coke is good too

QOTSA90

Jagermeister, straight, from the bottle, recently removed from the freezer.

FOOK everyone else and their Jagerbombs! :mad: why ruin a perfectly drinkable drink with an energy drink?!

W123-80's

Pints of Smithwicks. Vodka & Sparkling Ballygowen with a squeeze of fresh lime juice (Not Lime Cordial!)
Drop of Brandy by times.

Just a side note, is there a small Smithwicks revolution taking place at the moment. I see they have even rebranded their image!
