Favorite Alcoholic Drink

I like to drink Real Ale. I`m partial to McEwans Champion which is 7.5 percent in volume. Four of these and I`m on the floor as I tend to not drink a lot on account of being a coach driver and not having the time nor money to afford to go out drinking 15 bottles of Newcastle Brown like I used to in my heavy metal days.

Just wondering, seeing as most of us are over 40 (maybe we should do a poll), what is your favorite drink that you like to relax with.

I also like Hobgoblin, King Goblin and The Old Crafty Hen (6.5%)..

Rum! Give me a rum, with or without Coke, and I'm a happy bunny. Dark rum - Captain Morgan for preference, but Lamb's mostly as good. I'll do Malibu in a pinch.

Never got the hang of beer.

Beer is my favorite by far. I love trying new ones, but generally over time I go through phases of dark ales & lagers, Scotch ales, and IPA's. I brew my own from time to time too, and my favorite to brew is a clone of a beer called "1554", which is a dark lager based on a recipe from the year 1554. Aventinus and Spaten Optimator are a couple of my favorites.

For the hard stuff, rum & Dr. Pepper is my go-to drink.

Beer, not lager. Was a CAMRA evangelist for a while. Dad brewed, so I did a bit as well. When I go back to visit him sometimes, I can meet people in the street who still remember one of my dad's brews.

I live in a country that doesn't know what real beer is, so I have to make do with their shitty wine.

I live in France by the way.

Don't have an all time favourite, although I do enjoy the 'occasional' Mojito :D

As far as beer goes, I like Tiger.

Will I get beaten up if I say cider? Not the teeth rotting scrumpy kind, but the nice refreshing fizzy stuff. Not Magners or any of that watery crap, either.

My excuse is that I now live in Bristol. :)

Just polished off a couple of bottles of Old Speckled Hen. The wife is asleep beside me. I'm wondering if I could sneak off and play Elite for an hour without her noticing.

Or I could watch the rest of Tron on my tablet. Hmmm.
