What's your poison? (Alcohol)

[Ithikial]

I'm having a few frustrating days lately, almost lost all my user history on my home PC, silly requests at work... the usual.

Just curious what FGMers drink to take the edge off after a hard days work or when things just need to get taken down a notch. For me:

Strongbow Cider (And yeah pretty much any decent cider).

Rum (Canefire is a a locally made variety, incredibly smooth)

And on a hot summers day...
Margarita (Or anything with Tequila in it. )

 

[Facman]

I rarely drink, but when I do, it's usually a Kamikazi or a Bloody Mary.

Gin. Gin and Tonic. Gin and Juice.

Lately....grape Vodka and Grape soda.

A tasty drink, that lasts.... stout and lemonade, in a pint glass.

[Fredrocker]

When I drink, I enjoy a Bellhaven's Wee Heavy Ale

 

[mTk]

Uh, oh! Numberz and I agree again!
Woodford Reserve.

 

[Vartuoosi]

I mostly drink vodkas.
Viru Valge and Russian Standard are my favorites. Marskin ryyppy is also excellent.

Too much Breaking Bad?

Still looking for something I don't like - except any of them to excess of course...

Since I am playing CMBFN, I have been indulging in some Calvados lately - recommend to any who haven't tried....

Tho probably best to do your turns before you have the drink...

Im a Jack Daniels fan although the new Jack Daniels Honey is waaaaay to sweet for me. Also partial to a Coors Light. Im not a big drinker most of the time.

 

[HOA_KSOP]

Craft brews or a Guiness

 

[fabishd]

I prefer any kind of gin martini.

Tried Hendricks gin? Just discovered it last year. Awesome.
"Did he just say awesome?"
"I believe he did!"
"Wow, he is so '80's."
"fraid so mate. 'fraid so. I don't expect 'im to recover. No I don't."

Mix it with a little Iced Tea and you are good to go. My dad was a BIG Jack Daniels drinker. He would go to the bar and order a shot and a beer at a time. One after another. My moms was sure happy with him. Good ole' days.

Saint Arnold Amber and Spring Bock (Saint Arnold is a local brewery), Shiner, Stella, Young's Double Chocolate Stout and Margaritas.

 

[2054172]

Young's Double Chocolate Stout

Now your talking.

 

[fabishd]

Hendrick's is nice. I believe it has cucumbers in it which smooths out the typical gin flavor. Great starter gin for folks who have never had gin. However in the US you will pay more for the experience.

White wine, sometimes red wine.
