    Not a big soda drinker but I do enjoy a Coke every now and then. I love almost all beer, but I really enjoy a black velvet. And Gluhwein at the holidays :)

    Benedictine and Brandy :) I may be the only person in the world who drinks it. I can't even remember why I ever tried it in the first place. Something about monks, I guess.

    I love wine, too. Lots of kinds of wine. I rarely drink hard liquor, so my B&B thing feels more special that way.

    And for just daily drinks, um coffee. Easy enough to guess from my username :D

    Edit: Oh, soft drink? Just fizzy water of any sort. A nice cold Diet Pepsi is great on a very hot day in the summer, but I don't crave them often at all.

    I rarely drink beer, but I do like the odd Guinness. My drink of choice would be wine, Red or White. As long as it isn't sweet, I will drink it :)

    Spirit wise, I like Irish Whiskey, spiced rum or Gin, but I rarely drink spirits.

    Cocktails - Long Island iced tea :)

    Soft drink - I only drink soda if it is mixed with a spirit :)

    Hendricks Gin w/Schweppes Tonic Water (none of that diet sh1t), slice of cucumber and ice. Sit down relax and enjoy. And then refill.

    Mojito's all the way!! I do enjoy a red wine now and then (by the glass, bottle or bucket depending on how bad the day has been!)

    As for non alcoholic soda, I rarely drink it but Dr Pepper has my vote, my general daily tipple of choice is hot Vimto or Ribena at a push.

    Beer: A good real ale (Summer Lightning, Old Perculiar, my own homebrew) or cider, if the pub isn't a good real ale pub. (Badly kept beer gives me the hangover from hell)

    Wine: A good Prosecco or my old favourite, Tesco's White Merlot. Cheap as chips (£4.50 a bottle) and packed with flavour. Also, homemade wine (my favourite so far - Rose wine!)

    I don't really drink spirits or cocktails. I do have a pervy fancy for sugar-free sparkling flavoured water, though. Most folk think it's vile, but I quite like a few wine glasses full, if I feel like I want to treat myself, but don't want or don't have the calories for cider or wine.

    Beer: Stella
    Cider: Most & Perry
    Shots: Black Sambuca
    Spirits: Vodka, Gin, Southern Comfort
    Wine: Dry white, Rose
    Cocktail: Tequila Sunrise, Woo Woo, Pina Colada (more a dessert), Snakebite
    Soft drink: Diet Coke, Dr Pepper, Irn Bru,

    I will drink Lambrini still if its put in front of me. I think red wine tastes like tin & Guinness tastes like soil.

    Favorite alcoholic beverages: sangria(visited Portugal two years ago and fell in love with it), cheap wine(barefoot, arbor mist, boones farm, you get the picture) NO beer unless I'm already drunk, and my girly Strawberry Daquiri

    Beer - Victoria Bitter (VB) or Toohey's new for everyday. Corona, Crown Lager, Boag's or Cascade for special occasions! Yummy - bring on Christmas!

    Don't really like any other alcoholic beverages - I try to drink wine sometimes if I'm trying to appear a bit cultured, but I would rather just stick my pinky out when I'm drinking beer!

    Jameson ( Select or Gold Reserve) El Mayor Anejo Tequila and Guinness Extra Stout.
    Just for the record, I don't do anything nasty or disgusting with my liquor by mixing it with water, ice or heaven forbid some sort of carbonated crap.

    Beer - top choice Tyskie if not available Stella Artois on draught(but I love so many different bottled beers) Stella 4% at home.

    Wine - well white I like Sauvignon Blanc, Aldi do a nice one under £3 called Baron St.Jean. I love red too but I no expert in which I variety I like. But mainly full bodied as I hate sweet wines.

    Spirit - I used to like scottish whiskey & some times Jack Daniels. But now into (in a non gimmicky getting drunk for the sake of it way) Sambuca, I just like aniseed taste, as I also like food with star anise.

    Cocktail - Cuba Libre ( in u.s you might call it rum and coke but I like a little extra lime)

    Soft Drink - now I like ginger beer like old Jamaican & Idris Fiery , but in my younger days like Irn Bru , tizer & vimto. But now drink mostly diet coke - don't like it though.
