If I go to the pub I generally stick to drinking Bitter, I like most of them unless they're too heavy.

I will also drink German white beers such as HoeGaarden.

I rarely drink shorts or cocktails now but used to like Martini and lemonade or a vodka and orange.  I was once famous in my friends for drinking a local security guard under the table drink for drink on vodka and orange!  I lost count after the 13th.  He gave up and I was still able to walk home.  Wouldn't do this nowadays - hangovers and young children do not mix!

My other half and I have also discovered the joys of cocktails ! We have become experts at Daquari's and have invented a strawberry and blueberry one which is divine.
Other than that I drink white wine and beer as in English bitter(Not mixed together I hasten to add !)
Newcastle Brown has and will always be a great love in my life !

I thought 'Newkey' wasn't much to write home about...

By and large, I'll stick to the bitters and ales - two favourites being Old Speckled Hen (Oxford region) and Mask (Wokingham region)...sadly, I don't come across them that often, but when I do...!!

If it's got to involve a spirit, Brandy and Coke will do fine...

A large glass of draft beer, with a shot glass of Jack Daniels dropped down in it.

I think this is called a "depth charge".

It is a malt beverage that has a lemon/lime flavor to it. I just discovered that it now comes in orange and black cherry too (but haven't tried those yet)

Those sound good...wonder if any of the bars around here know how to make one?


I hope so! I had them at a club in Georgia as I college student down there. They really tasted like slices of key lime pie. The one thing is that you need to remember you are drinking shots b/c the sweetness of it will keep you on the floor!

Black Russians
White Russians
Mudslides
Screwdrivers
Paralysers
Fuzzy Navels
Screaming Orgasms
B-52's
Kahlua
Bailey's
Swiss Chocolate Almond liqueur
Bacardi Dark Rum
Bacardi Breezers (orange and strawberry)

For wine I like Manieschewitz, White Zinfandel...and pretty much anything on the semi-sweet to sweet side (at least a 2). Usually red.

Funny I should be talking about alcohol today since I'm recovering from a well-deserved bender last night. Unfortunately, I got a little too p*ssed that I'd forgotten half the evening, and Rush had to explain to me this morning why I was still wearing the same clothes, including my shoes!  :o I was totally embarrassed...

I see a few people mentioned B-52s. I used to be known as the "B-52 Queen" a long time ago. We used to have our "bomb runs". Man, had many a hangover from them.  :D

Ooooh, I forgot about those.  A bar I used to go to would put sugar on the rim of the shotglass, none of the places I've had them at since do that.  Made them even yummier!!!


The Mucky Duck in Monterey puts sugar on the rim. It added to the whole thing of making it taste like an actual lemon drop.

Let's see... being 20 I should be an expert in this area. But I'm not.

I do like a good beer though (Guinness does it nicely, but the price is not low enough for me to buy it regularly) - can't stand the watered down stuff.

Not big into wine though. Maybe it's a Kiwi-male thing.  ;D
