What's your poison?

[Tanvi_Sunil]

Perhaps, though I seem to wear them.  Shirts too if there's a tall gent in the room.

Maybe you just have a thing for feet and tall gents with no shirts?
Hey it really doesn't have to make sense when your inebriated, whole point really!

[Mercury Wells]

Shirts too if there's a tall gent in the room.

Maybe it's because they suit you?

[Abigail Ross]

Oh, I don't need to be inebriated to appreciate tall men, shirtless or otherwise. Though feet, well, that would require a bit of drinking.

[Sir A Poiselamppe]

As a rule, I find Irish whiskey ( Bushmills 10yo) to be rather soothing in time of crisis..
Cosmopolitans for fun (Vodka Triple sec cranberry juice and lime)

Cider to be sociable and

Poteen for toothache (the bottle has the following injunction - "warning this spirit drink is highly flammable" -

smokers beware -90% proof, you could power an airship with it I suppose but a bit of a waste..

[MonsieurBaggyTrousers]

As a properly patriotic gentlemen, I abide by all laws of my land: Monster Energy or oolong tea. Or both, when I'm bored.

When I'm on the Continent, fraternizing with the Hun (and reveling in the relaxed drinking age) - stout or whiskey.

[Albrecht]

Hmmmm...
I enjoy quite a range of alcoholic beverages:
(In no particular order)
White Russian (that's top of the list, actually)
Guinness and Kilkenny's
various other liquors (ranging from Amarula to Jägermeister to Rowan schnapps)
mead

But mostly I drink coffee, tea and water.

[von Corax]

Generally, I buy Black Sheep Ale by the case, but I also enjoy weizens, Trappists, authentic Czech Pilsener and Guinness. (Keg if I can, can if I must; the bottles have only recently been made drinkable, and are generally too small to bother with.) Molson's/Labatt's taste like paint thinner, and Miller/Coors/Budweiser really are like making love in a canoe. On the other hand, Rogue (in Oregon) and Amsterdam (in Toronto) make some truly interesting and enjoyable brews.

Spirit-wise, I've never had absinthe (I've never seen absinthe) but I do like a shot of Black Bush half-and-half with cold, filtered water, no ice, which allows the more subtle flavours to emerge from behind the alcohol. I could probably develop a taste for good Scotch, as well. (I felt the same way about Guinness, at first - after the first pint, I wasn't sure, so I had another while I thought about it...)

It's been a while, but I recall G&T is quite a pleasant summer drink if mixed in the right proportions. Add the fact that tonic water glows under UV light, and what more could you want?

[Mydnight]

21 year old Glenfiddich -- although that is so incredibly expensive a bottle will last years. (Here it's about $120 for a 26 oz. bottle).  Other kinds of scotch (preferably single malt) when I can't get the good stuff.  Canadian Cream Ale or stought from a beer standpoint (There is a microbrewery here in Regina which has won national awards for almost all of their brews -- I'm particularly partial to one known as Palliser Porter -- dark, heavy beer with an almost coffee-like aftertaste).

[Head Wreck]

absinthe and mexicana's. if the bar insults me with a poor mexicana or hands me a neat absinthe i stick to a southern and coke

[Honeythorn]

Jack Daniels and Bitter lemon, Cherry brandy ( with coke, makes alchoholic cherry coke of course! ) Martini and Lemonade, Dune bug cocktail ( I have no idea what it consists of, all I know is it tastes like coconut and melon and is YUM ).

[flimflam]

if i am paying whatever is cheap
if someone else is buying any good scotch

[LibelAndSlander]

I love Absinthe, but don't have many opportunities to drink it.
Generally, I love a real, solid martini. Though I often end up making it general patton style... vermouth is good, but I really, really like gin.

White Russians are awesome when I'm in more of a pinky-up drink mood.

My most common drink is west-coast red wine... Columbia Crest Merlot in particular.

(When my friends buy booze just to get hammered, it's generally Evan Williams and Coke, but my classiness forbids me to speak on it any longer.)

[Byron Cogsmith]

 Given a choice it is either Jägermeister in a frozen shot glass or with Red Bull or the finest beer in the world (imho) Newcastle Brown Ale.

[SteamKit]

Jägermeister, good beer, gin & tonic, or vodka. Chopin preferably, none of that stuff that couldn't even pass for gasoline.

[hortoncrow]

Brandy, Cognac, and red wine.  When I'm strapped for cash, rum.

[Dr. Viktor v. Wolfenstein]

Well as my poison(s) I would count a good Vanilla Vodka, a glass of Mead, occasionally Absinthe from Poland and when I want to stay awake, get in a creative mood and still have something of a nice taste I would take Vodka Absolut with Red Bull.

That's the poison I numb my mind with

[Torvald_Faust]

Mead in all it's varieties, I am afraid. Not very Steampunk-y, but the 'strangest' I have taken a liking to

[SalieriAAX]

Mead is excellent.  I salute you.

[Dr. Viktor v. Wolfenstein]

I have some very good memories involving mead, so I salute you too.

An excellent drink indeed.

[clockwerkman]

I need to try me some Mead.  Always did like their Trapper Keepers...wait, no! Wrong mead.

Anyway, I am pretty much a beer guy.  Rum & coke on occasion.  But mainly beer when I drink.

[Prof Eumides Blakehurst]

Mead in all it's varieties, I am afraid. Not very Steampunk-y, but the 'strangest' I have taken a liking to

<Checks downstairs in the cellar> I have four varieties of mead down there; scotch thistle, featherbush (a native to central NSW, a sort of small shrub), maple syrup and honey mead, and a few precious bottle of blackberry - with six years of drought and the big fires in 2003 there has been no wild blackberries worth picking since 2001. All brewed in 25 litre batches.

The best commercial mead I've come across (and imported meads are damnably hard to get here) was a Danish one. Can't even remember what it was called, but it was black with the consistence of tar and had a 'By Appointment to the Royal Danish Court" on the label.

Beer is brewed to the British Old or brown ale types as well as Trappist styles. I tend to keep about 6 batches in stock, with the most recent ones put down being a Belgian style sour cherry and another lot of the Tripel I make for the local bell ringers. 

Otherwise, much wine - reds for preference. There's always at least one bottle of bubbly in the fridge (Domain Chandon). Gin, Pernod, cognac, armagnac and absinthe round it our for me.

[Torvald_Faust]

Thanks for the salutes, gentlemen Speaking of mead also reminds me that I need to refill my 'stock' - I try to keep a bottle about

Also, prof. Eumides, I would consider myselves a lucky man if I were you. Sounds like you have a cellar worth having

[Prof Eumides Blakehurst]

Thank you. I can have up to six fermenters running at any one time, so it has to be stashed somewhere (apart from in other people, which is where it mostly ends up  ).

My house is on a slope, so the two downstairs rooms ended up as the cellar.

I know, I know, must post pictures. Must create an account somewhere to store them first!

Now you really have me jealous, good sir. 'Tis that I shan't be in Australia for a good while, else I would ask for permission to visit this complex of yours

Try the ubiquitous Photonic Capture Container. Also known as Photo Bucket

[Demetrius Forward]

I know it's most improper for an urchin like myself to drink, but I'm quite partial to cider, although that isn't really very steampunky. However, I do like a good bit of white wine
