    Jack Daniels, straight, no ice.

    or just a really strong cup of real filter coffee.

    Hot Drinks - A nice double espresso if I'm sitting down and enjoying it, or if I'm on the go - a big cup of decent quality black filter coffee.

    Soft Drinks - Hrmmm, Coke is alright. Irn-bru is rather refreshing at certain times too. I'm partial to the odd Dr. Pepper too. Can't beat a glass of orange juice that you've just freshed squeezed yourself, either.

    Beer - I'm into my real ales although I wouldn't be able to pick a favourite. Usually prefer something bitter.

    Spirits - I'm a fan of a lot of the fine single malts produced up here. Can't really say I've developed a perfect pallet yet, though. Glenmorangie, Glenlivet, The MacAllan etc. with some ice is all good to me. Jack Daniels is rather tasty too for a casual few drinks.

    Might as well add "What do you smoke?" to this, too?

    Prefer american cigarettes on the whole. My daily smokes are Lucky Strike Red. Occasionally Camel or Malboro Red, too.

    Mixed - Whiskey Sour

    Mountain Dew.

    If that's not available, ice water. (I'm underage, so no alcohol for me.)

    Booze free: water
    Soda: Mt. Dew
    Beer: Guinness is the best but its a very heavy drink (you can't drink it all night long). I'll normally drink a Stella or a Kronenbourg. I'm also a fan of Coopers (found down under) and Boulevard Wheat (made in Kansas City). American beer (from the major makers) is generally swill and shouldn't be touched.
    Spirits: Vodka and Tequila... there are many ways to mix these
    Mixed drink: Long Island or Margaritas (you're gonna get plowed drinking these all night)

    Hmmm... Laphroigh whiskey... I have it straight.

    Other favorites:
    - Wray & Nephews white rum (there ain't no other), on wedges of lime with crushed ice and brown sugar;
    - Stolychnaya Vodka (again, there's no other), straight;
    - Budvar beer (not the weak Budweiser crap), although Stella will do in a pinch;
    - any good wine. My favorites are a good Amaro Negro, an Amaretto or Valpolicella; also a good dry Vino Verde from Portugal. Amongst the champagnes I avoid Moet Chandon (undermatured crap) or Dom Perignon (overhyped crap) but like a Charlses Heidseck or most champagnes by small independent producers.

    Non-alcoholic:
    - water :p
    - dark roast coffee, black, no sugar
    - green or white tea: Orange Pekoe (not so much Mung Chee), Phoenix Jasmin, Mao Feng, Pai Mu Tan, Quing Yun. Also a good smokey Japanese, but it has to be a really good one.

    during the day I drink coffee, three sugars, milky, or dr pepper/coke.

    Alcoholic: Stella, or Peach Schnapps, or vodka (with mixer - fresh orange is good, unless it's very good vodka in which case straight with a bit of good charlie to go with it. no, i'm not in the mafia.) I do appreciate the odd glass of red wine here and there too. And rum. No whisky though.

    Whisky is more often than not meant to be drunk with water, and ice depending on preferance...most english pubs will give you a jug of water when you ask for whisky!

    For me,

    Soft: Ginger beer

    Juice: tomato

    cocktail: bloody mary

    beer: Jupiler

    spirit: amaretto or goldschlager

    wine: some sort of Paulliac or a Pomerol..as for white, a grand cru chablis or some sort of drier reisling.

    Since when? I've been to loads of pubs and when ordering whisky I've never had a jug of whater to go with it!

    It is a strong drink, but I've never tried it with water!
