Can't pick just one so, depending on where I am and who I'm drinking with, either
Kopparberg pear cider or
Pilsner Urquell or
A Harvey Wallbanger

I hardly ever drink - I will occasionally have a Lambrini

I'll have sherry in a trifle

I did have a glass of Bailey's at Christmas though, which is nice

I'm a big real ale fan. I like most varieties depending on my mood, I tend to favour pale and golden ales but also like, amber, bitters, wheat beers even the occasional stout. Real ale is fantastic, there's just such a huge range and they're all completely different.

I do also like a decent lager but prefer something good as opposed to the likes of Fosters and Carling.

I'm not really a fan of spirits at all.

I can take or leave wine. The only time I'd really choose to drink it is when doing something like a taster menu at a nice restaurant where they pair you a wine with each course.

Real ale for me as well. As you say there is so much choice and variety.

When the weather is warm I drink local craft cider or perry, from someone like Severn Cider or Day's Cottage.

I certainly wouldn't touch what most people on here would consider "cider".....

Champagne - but won't pay the price! So 'Cava' suffices as I'm no expert despit the amount of wines etc I've tasted or drank.

Champagne to me is one of lifes biggest rip-offs, especially when you can get Cava and Prosecco that taste just as good as the lesser champagne brands which most of us drink.

A lot of English producers not sell a sparkling white wine that, in competition, is every bit as good as champagne.

Is it any cheaper though? The problem with English wines is the price due to the low output they achieve.

Glenmorangie whisky, or that grass vodka

No beer or lager but occasionally a nice cider, something like Katy

A really good Cotes de Rhone.
Or a glass of Laphroaig with a wedge of cheddar an apple and a slice of fruit cake. Then I feel like a king.

Depends on the mood and circumstances.

At home, smoking some weed, I like red wine.

When out and about I like lager (usually Stella, San Miguel or Peroni) but when I get too bloated / sick of the taste I will generally switch to Vodka and Redbull or Vodka and Coke. I've also been known to have a cocktail or two (Skittles and Adios Amigo for anyone interested). I also quite like Vodka + Coke or JD + Coke. To bring the night to a conclusion, a few Jager Bombs are consumed, and in the case of last night, a couple of bottles of Hooch for old times sake.

Gin and Tonic is an alcoholic drink I truly love. Don't mind a good pint of Guinness as well.

A well-mixed mojito as a sundowner, although also partial to a veneziano as an aperitif before dinner.

I don't drink often, but when it happens might as well make a fuss.

I really hated the taste of booze, so i use to buy Lemon/Lime Bacardi Breezers. I couldn't believe there was alchohol in them!

You can't beat a cold cider in the summer. I love Strongbow. It's nice and sweet. Also love Rekorderlig Strawberry & Lime.

If I'm on a night out my drink of choice is Disarrono & Cranberry or a Vodka, Lime & Lemonade.
