You lucky people whom get to drink... *pout* Well, at least I get to pass through Germany on my way back home. I'll be picking up several bottles of real Riesling on the trip.

Currently imbibing a bottle of Woodchuck Draft Cider. Ah, but which sub-brand is it? I've only had the chutzpah (see: funding) to try two different brands and, at the moment, I don't recall which two or which one I liked more... |

Ordinarily I drink Hobgoblin ale or Captain Morgan's Rum, but on occasion they get mixed  A double rum in a pint of ale, puts hairs on your chest |

I am a whiskey man. After spending some time in Scotland, and visiting the distilleries in Islay, I would have to say that I prefer the Islay malts. Bowmore's 12 year is utterly fantastic. Wonderfully peaty, but not too heavy. A sipping drink, as are all good whiskeys.
I also drink wine on occasion, though almost exclusively red. I'm living in western NY at the moment, so I tend to stick with local wineries. For anyone else in the area, I would suggest Imagine winery, near Naples.

I'm a lightweight so I can't drink much but when I do I like Smirnoff Ice (yes, sacrilege) or a glass of iced tea lightly spiked with Captain Morgan rum, Peach Schnaaps, or a bit of both. I do like some wines, mostly the cheap, fruity ones you can get for $4 at the supermarket, and a good sangria could never go to waste around me.

Ale. Or Port. Or Vodka. Or all of them. Or the strongest alcohol from whatever country I am in at the time. Or anything nice. But mostly Port. MORE PORT MISTER DOW!
so, what brand of port do you prefer? I've tried a few and have found I'm more partial to ruby than tawny but it's a close call. Port is probably my favorite fall/winter drink. |

Big fan of the Italian beverages myself.
A good amaretto on a cold night, or a creme di limone on the rooftops.
Mmm.

Sudden rush of justifiable pride! Additionally, don't worry about being sixteen. Hardly anyone under the legal age in Ireland doesn't drink. I'm a rare case in that I made it to age nineteen without a sip of the demon drink . |

Dark Rum, preferrably Captain Morgan with two lumps of ice per double shot.
Am I picky? More than most!
I also do love a good red wine...but the cheap ones seem to be my favourite. I have particular love of Valpolicella wine.

A friend of mine who works at the Observatory Museum in Sydney was sent on a museum trip around Europe some years ago. He said that the taste of Guinness got better the closer one was to Dublin. Until he was lying on the floor underneath a barrel in the Guinness museum, holding out a credit card crying, "Charge it!!!" At this point, I would love to add "Arsenic and many of its compounds..." Master Torvald, we must stop meeting like this. I was reading an old chemistry demonstration book recently that had the "taste the lead acetate (sugar of lead) and note the sweet taste"... |

Arbitrary set of rules that nobody here really follows. Most of the people I know started drinking at that age, I know some who started drinking glasses of wine at 12, I finished my first bottle of gin when I was 14. As for my choice of liver destroying compounds: San Miguel beer's Cerveza Negra is on top of my beer list, their pale beer just doesn't compare. for Liquor: Lambanog (Coconut liquor)- for the times that you want to show how manly you are by trying to drink each other under the table Tequila rose- for just kicking back with friends Russian bull- vodka and red bull mixed together White Russian - I think this may be Bailey's and vodka My friend brought back some mead after a trip to London and I've been searching for a company that sells locally. Alas, no luck so far |
