    Can't stand low alcoholic beverages, when I feel under the weather it's usually cheap store branded brandy. But recently this:

    Personally I would prefer a good cognac, but can't complain much especially since the folks seem to love buying this stuff and laying it around as decorative pieces rather than imbibing.

    Beer-wise, we have some of the world's best Lagers produced right here:
    Windhoek Lager and Tafel Lager are great beers. However, even though they're great, they get REAL boring if that's the only ones you can get all the time and everywhere (~3quid for a sixer).

    As such, there are a few import beers, and a few specialities that I adore when theya re available:
    Urbock - a locally produced Bockbier (that's dark, malty, and a bit stronger than our normal lagers) - only available in winter (so soon, then...)
    Paulaner - We hardly ever have it here, and it's about 3quid a bottle when we do, but it's the best Weissbier we get here (alternatives are Schöfferhofer and Erdinger).

    Other than that, I drink Tequila, Whisky and SoCo occasionally

    I will drink anything thats going i've been drinking alot of san miguel lagers lately because there so cheap aswell as Cidre but as i generally don't have anything i really dislike...

    Maybe Carlsberg/Strongbow im so tired of it

    Particularly like bitter and ales Tribute, Hob Goblin, Spitfire, Pedigree and Doombar!

    Tasty. Even better if you can find a pub near you that does it on tap - goes down a treat

    Right now? Cheap, cheap wine. Tastes pretty decent though. Silver Bay Point is its name.

    notes most drinks come in bottles of some sort whether glass or plastic, the issue is if you recycle or not.

    now at present drinking decaf tea, in a china mug which is of course reuseable and made with filtered water.

    Type II Diabetic

    Water, chilled water, ice water, sometimes over about a week about 1 or 2 cups of real orange juice, even less maybe about 15 carbohydrate's worth of apple juice (4 fluid ounces) - in boosting low blood sugar 1-2 times a month, 1-2 cups of coffee with powdered creamer everyday, Diet Coke with sucralose artificial sweetener, Hansen's diet Black Cherry and diet Root Beer soda with real Splenda (sucralose is the generic form in other sodas/juices) artificial sweetener. Real grape with real black cherry juice about as often as apple juice - to boost blood sugar quickly when it's too low.

    I go through phases of all sorts, but at the moment I'm drinking Kwak when the opportunity arrises. Lovely stuff

    Yes,yes you should, and a great website to purchase from of course!

    Over the weekend this was my staple:

    Was a bit dark for my taste overall (Old Speckled does me absolutely wonderfully!) but still went down a treat with friends.

    I've really got into real ales, local tescos stocks loads of them and I've been working my way through them, lots of micro breweries in Cornwall and the ales by the Wooden Hand Brewery are excellent.
