I'm not a huge drinker (maybe a beer or two on the weekends) but I'm curious what your drink of choice is!!

I'm a bud light or Busch kind of girl!

    Wine please. Although a nice cold lite beer after skating in the summer, or winter really hits the spot

    I've honestly never had wine in my life! I was raised in the backwoods where all the girls drink beer and chew Copenhagen (seriously it's *kitten* gross!!!!) lol I need to broaden my horizons and buy some to try!

    You need to explore the craft world but I'm not one to talk since I'm the cheapest *kitten* on the block with my Natty Ice

    Oh yea, barrel aged barley wines (preferably english) are amazing as well on winter days. Barrel Aged anything is quite good. lol And Nitro scotch ales. Too many beers I like. Need to go drink more scotch now

    I actually have tried a couple craft beers! Of course that's normally only when I have money to blow which is a rare occasion

    Depends...It's summer so right now I enjoy drinking a few cold beers after work on the patio...it's hot so I'm drinking stuff like Dos XX with some lime. If I want to party I'll throw in some tequila shots. I also like a variety of vodka cocktails. I'm not much of a wine drinker in the summer save for some white sangria or a rose...that would usually be a Sunday afternoon kind of thing.

    In the winter I like IPAs and drink more bourbon. I drink a lot more craft beers in the winter in general because they tend to be heavier and I just can't handle that *kitten* in the heat.

    As red wine goes, I occasionally have a glass with a meal...usually for a social occasion with friends or family, but not something I drink routinely at home.

    i tried a strawberry beer which was good (fruli)
    black butte porter is good
    stella artois beer or cider
    i like leinie's berry weiss or summer shandy
    i like a good gin and tonic
    though i recently discovered the italian soda-chambord, lime juice and selzter....so now i'm going to try different flavor vodkas with seltzer: peach, raspberry, blueberry, watermelon, etc-peach melba sounds good too-chambord, peach schnapps and seltzer

    Captain Morgan is my go to beverage, but I do enjoy me an ice cold corona lite or a Margarita in the summer time, except tequila and I seem to not be getting along much lately :disappointed:

    Wine. So much wine.

    I used to be into dark craft beers, maybe vodka + diet coke from time to time. Then I discovered good-quality wine (not the $6 bottles on the bottom shelf of the grocery store...unfortunate for my budget, really) and rarely drink any other kind of alcohol now.

    Wine is also my lowest calorie-per-hour option. I can nurse a glass of wine a lot longer than a beer or a vodka soda, so I end up drinking less over the course of an evening.

    I go for the Redds Apple Ale, It tastes good and it's stronger than beer.

    @Louise1491 yes! And it is. I used to order vodka cranberries there and I attribute all that sugar over my 5 years in college to being part of my weight gain! It's going to be a major challenge to do myfitnesspal and balance my nights out with friends, but I'm up for it.

    I had a couple bottles with a homemade cheeseburger and they complimented eachother also.

    Tequila is nobodies friend, I gag at the smell of that now.

    i never cared for it until i found this- z0ozd599cyu6.jpg

    Nice, I will try it. But tequila doesn't make me sick it makes me mean... Never used to but lately, I am not a nice person when I have had more than 2 margaritas. I used to be able to do shots of tequila all night long and still love every girls shoes in the bathroom. LOL, but now I will spit on their shoes and tell them to piss off for no reason what so ever. Haha. Even if they have nice shoes.
