Water.
Tea (good blends).
Red wine -- A straight, robust cab is best, but I like just about anything.

Not a big beer fan, but I appreciate good ones. Dark beers and Belgium ales preferably.
Mixed drinks are rare, but gin & tonics and manhattans are my choice. Theres a 1940's-era Polish martini bar nearby, and when I'm there, it's a classic gin martini. If I'm just drinking cheap alcohol at a dive with friends, long islands are a safe bet.

Yeah, I'm picky.

ohh yeah as far as liquor goes, I'd really rather have a good cabernet, other wines just don't do it for me.

Hard liquor if I must be forced at gunpoint I'd have to say a gray goose or something equally mild in taste.

Amstel light is very tasty with lunch as far as beers go and that's about it, I wouldn't be drinking beer just to get drunk

Coke and coffee for me

Single malt Scotch Whiskey

Water, Diet Coke, Scotch, or Crown Royal

Try something other than red/black label then...I got black label and wont use it for anything other than mixing - I got gold label and its fucking awesome...laphoiag is also damn nice - when I want something hardcore, nothing can touch laphroiag quarter cask, but sometimes the smoothness of JW Gold wins me over.

as for bourbon, i happen to have a glass of elijah craig 12yrs in front of me now, but my favourite is 4 roses - single barrel

I also have a couple of bottle of cognac, some jose gold tequila, finlandia and fris vodka, jaegermeister, drambuie oh and some suntory yamazaki which is suprisingly nice for japanese shit in the style of scotch.

when it was in the middle of summer, i went through a beer phase - the winners were hoegarden, and the old favourite stella artois. to be honest when it comes to an ice cold beer, nothing can touch a bottle of stella from the freezer.

Egh... not really fond of Stella. My gf's sister brought a case over one day and left it in my fridge. It took me a while to get through all of it. Used it for cooking a couple times.

I'd have to say whisky would be mine. If I'm trying to get drunk, cheap, piss colored american beer works but if I want a real drink a gentlemen's jack is enjoyable or maybe some JW black label on the rocks. I'm trying to expand my whisky palette so if you have recommendations i'd appreciate it.

wait....aren't you the guy who got a minor last week for drinking a 40 out on your front porch?

I'm mostly a beer knurd. I like hefeweissens and wheat beers when I'm going to be having a few, because they have a good flavor but they're still fairly light.
When I really want to taste something, I like hoppy and/or bitter beers. I like Terrapin's Rye Ale, there are a couple of Flying Dogs that are okay, our local brewery Yazoo makes a Dos Perros that's quite tasty, I'm a fan of Stella, I like IPAs even though they usually give me a touch of the heartburn later... I also love Murphy's Irish Stout, but I rarely drink it since it's so heavy.

When it comes to cocktails, I either have Grey Goose and tonic or a Bombay Sapphire and tonic. On the very rare occasion I feel like bourbon or whiskey, I'll either have Makers Mark or some Knob Creek I've had in the pantry for a while.

Daytime, I usually drink 2 cups of coffee in the morning (sometimes just one), a coke with lunch and usually dinner as well, and the rest of the time I just drink water. I should probably drink more fruit juices too.

Not a connoiseur like most of you but of the beers i've tasted I like the the heavier ones the most. Don't really go for hard liquor though. On average it'll mostly be water, milk or a seven-up/fanta rip-off. Hate cola and. Only drink coffee on funerals.

Depends on the occation.

Beer is nice, I'm not very picky, I just try to stay away from the cheapest piss. Something simple like Heineken is good on a hot day, but I appreciate a good pilsener or some micro brewery stuff too, I just don't go out of my way to always drink the "good" stuff.

Other than that I like full bodied and smokey single malts, aged Calvados and occationally a nice quality Rum. "Clean" spirits like vodka may be good for getting drunk, but I don't drink just to get drunk anymore, and I don't really like that pure alcohol taste so I mostly don't drink it.

Oh, and wine. Especially with food, but sometimes just for socializing too. A nice cold Rosé with barbecue on a hot summer evening, or a Pinot Noir with some nice Italian food. Good stuff.

Also, water, coffee and an occational glass of milk. Don't drink much soft drinks or fruit juices - too much sugar or cancerogens.

yeah shaft a few days before my birthday. it ended up being a warning instead i guess

A Rosé with BBQ!?! You heathen!

Joking, of course. I hate it when people obsess on wine.

I'm a microbrew kinda guy. I'll settle for a Sam Adams or Boulevard in a pinch. I'm going to a five-course meal tonight. Each course has a different beer to compliment it.

Oh, and of course Oktoberfest on Saturday.

Hard alcohol, you'll see me go for good ol' Jack. (Thoapboi is a moran)

As for wine, I like Red Zin, Chardonnay, and a crisp Reisling Spätlese is always good.

Last couple of weekends it's been Paulaner Salvator, Spaten Optimator, and some Sam Adams Black Lager.

I love Absinthe.

Noted.

as far as beer goes, whatever someone hands me. I'll buy lawnmowing beer like coors light, but I like sam adams.

Whisky/whiskey: I like real kentucky bourbons and I like Jack and I like canadian blends.
I buy for home rotgut Old Crow and I love it (has a pecan flavor), but a the bar lately I have been ordering knob creek.

Scotch: I like blends ok, Johnny walker and chivas, but the king of cheap blends is Clan MacGregor. Really!

My favorite single malt is Laphroig (sp) lots of scotch drinkers don't like the Islays so that means more for me but Islays are so strong with the peaty, mossy, smokey taste that many don't like them. I do!

Other than that. Water, Coke or iced tea.

Chimay
tea
hot cocoa

it's "hefeweizen" ~ weizen = wheat

Except when it's spelled hefe-weiss of course.

Also, the winner of beers: Köstritzer schwartzbier.

If we're nitpicking, it can be spelled hefeweizen or hefeweiße(n), although more and more people have started using hefeweissen -- which doesn't mean the same thing, but usage determines language as much as the other way around sometimes.

Either way, I prefer hefeweißen because that's the way I first learned it, but it's a pain in the ass to type ess-tset's ( ß )on an American keyboard, so I substitute it with "ss."

well the 'S' means double ss so it doesnt matter really :P
