What's your favorite tipple.. what's good to drink?

I've only ever really drunk Lager (Fosters), Cider, Wine and a few mixers like Vodka n Coke and Malibu n Coke.

I was just walking past the drinks aisle in ASDA and I was like..mm.. lots of those look tasty.. but what are they all??

All sorts of weird and wonderful bottles.. everything from Chocolate Vodka Mix to Pimms, to Tia Maria, to Brandy..

What's nice to drink to relax with?

You see cops in movies swigging down Whisky in films as if it's relaxing, but the only time I ever tried some Jack Daniels I nearly retched!

try it in a pub, to see if you like it before buying a bottle.

I generally stick to pints or bottles.

But I've lately been trying the cocktails that my friends order. A really nice one last week was "Drumstick Lollipop", which has vodka, Chambord, lemon and sugar syrup.

Since Becks Vier and Coors Light came out on draught I have gone off Carling, but still drink Carlsberg and Fosters. (Wierd I know, but what can you do!) But I would say pour a shot of white sambuca into a pint of Becks, Coors, Fosters or Carlsberg. It tastes amazing!! But dont ever try it with Carling, I dont know why but it is foul!!

Perhaps it's because Carling is foul in the first place?

My 'fave' alcoholic drink is the Bacardi Breezer Tropical Orange flavor. My other fave drinks are Champagne & Prosecco, which is a type of fizzy Wine with a fruity flavor. I like these drinks mainly cos they don't have that strong flavor of alcohol off them, like most other drinks.

I've tried, Vodka & Coke, Vodka & Orange, Gin & Tonic, Gin & Orange, Win, Guinness, Beer, WKD (Blue, Orange & Red), Whiskey, Brandy & some others & didn't really like any of the much tbh.

Another drink I like is the Cranberry flavor Bacardi Breezer, sadly, no where seems to have/sell it now.

IF you like sweet stuff try an Amaretto and Coke!

I drink MAlibu myself, and that's pretty much it! I don't mind the odd Amaretto though.

Pretty much all booze is good (just drink at different speeds/with mixers depending on whether it's ale, lager, spirits or what have you). Except Stella. Stella is foul.

Look at the strength on speed to drink it but other than that its just taste.

Bloody gorgeous stuff. I prefer the Vintage as it's a bit smoother.

Champagne , cava , gin (mixed with something) , vodka (mixed with something).

As long as it doesn't taste of alcohol or is fizzy -shove it down my throat.

I only ever drink either water or orange juice. All alcohol is totally forbidden (for taste reasons mostly). It's shame all the temperance movements are pretty much dead now although I believe they've still got quite a few members in Norway.

Long vodka (vodka, angostura bitters, lime and lemonade) or Captain Morgan's spiced rum with lemonade.

I love a good organic cider - tastes totally different from the cheap mass produced cider.
