I like to have a coffee before leaving for work. Peps me up.

Then I'll have another coffee at work, usually with copious amounts of Milo in it. Work gives free Milo so I use that to its full extent.

Really depends on the occasion.
Work lunch - beer. Restaurant - Wine. At home or party - beer/strongbow/southern comfort. Usually strongbow.

But on average i'll have about one standard drink per week.

I like to mix it up
sometimes I buy a carton of beer that I haven't had in a while cause I might have enjoyed one or two schooners at the pub that week
right now I still have 6 carlton mids left in my fridge that I just cant bring myself to drink, the other 18 were bad enough

I pretty rarely drink spirits anymore, currently I've got a bottle of makers mark and some kind of premium girly (very sweet) bourbon that my mrs likes
my normal beer choice is either becks/heiny/corona

As for drinks of the alcoholic variety, I've got a bottle of Glenmorangie 16yo single malt I'm working my way through, like to have a glass of that neat at night when I'm lounging back watching some tv or relaxing.

Yeah, Extra Dry Platinum messes me up too, far more than the alchol content would suggest. Smirnoff double blacks are like 7% and I can drink more of them than I can Extra Dry Platinum and end up better off.

The 6.5% is nothing, anything less is like drinking a midstrength beer.

Just don't mix it with anything else, such as wine. Makes for a massive headache the next morning.

What I'd really enjoy, beer wise, is a nice Wheat Beer

6.5 isn't that strong for beer, if you actually look at other beers from around the world. With German and Belgian beers, you won't find anything lower than about 5%, and quite a large amount of them sit around 7%.

I drink water and milk most days. Not a lot of soft-drink, and it's pretty much always the sugar-free stuff when I do.

For alcohol, I like a big variety of different beers. Lots of ales, German wheat beers, and some Trappist beers too. I've also got a keg of homebrew alcoholic ginger beer sitting in my kegerator at the moment, so a glass of that with lots of ice and some lime wedges goes down nicely.

I drink a mix of beers (low-carb and full strength but not lights or mids), scotches, rums and bourbons. I have tried as many bourbons, scotches and rums as possible up to about the $80/bottle mark. I don't like Bundy as a general rule.

My drink of choice at the moment is Johnnie Walker. Lately i haven't been drinking much - 2 cans a week on a Thursday night after football training.

Awwww reload's made a friend, even if he is an alcoholic.

One coffeee in the morning. I'm somewhat addicted to bought coffee, instant is just so s*** :(

Pretty well water for the rest of the day, very rarely juice or coke zero, maybe a tea at night.

Booze wise, whatever beer is on special that tickles my fancy. Getting it on special serves two purposes:
1 - cheaper
2- variaty as different beers come and go on special

Don't really drink that much though unless people over or I'm out somewhere, then I'm happy to give it a go (until the next morning :(). Probably average 6 or so beers a weekend if I'm hanging at home (wife doesn't drink so I fly the flag solo).

Who can afford to be an alcy these days ?

me, i drink yalumba boxes of wine

definately cant have open containers of booze in front or back in qld

i got pulled up by the cops coming back from indian lunch a while ago

id smashed 6 vb throwdowns with my hot hot hot beef vindaloo at punjabis, and the boys had the rest of the carton of throwdowns in the back with them

drove past coppers on way back to work (2 minute drive) and they did a uie and pulled me up

said "we saw beers being consumed" (the boys were drinking in the back)

asked me where the booze was, i said, its not open, they checked the guys in teh back who had put their open beers under the seats.

got angry and breathalised me, i blew under and they were even more cranky.

gave me a big spiel about open booze in cars and sent me on my way.

pretty much everyone in the car thought i was going down, but im a terminator at processing alcohols

jd scotch?
No!It is not a Scotch.The whiskies produced in Scotland or made in the similar style are called scotch. Jack Daniels is a Tennessee whisky. It is made in the U.S and has a particular smoky taste and flavor.It gets its smoky flavor from the last stage of the distillation process. It is one of the leading whisky brand in the world

You guys are high :S Scotch isn't made with maize.

Jack Daniel's is a Tennessee whiskey, has it's own name... produced the same as other bourbon whiskeys except it's charcoal filtered.

JD is made with 51%+ maize, same as bourbon.

only whiskey produced in scotland is scotch.

anyway - something as mass produced as Jim, Jack and John is never going to be as good as a single malt.

Glenlivet 12 year single malt is my favourite affordable scotch at the moment.
Usually scotch, beer and water is what I drink.

As for beer preference:
1. Asahi
2. Hoegaarden great tasing beer but more so for the novelty monster sized glasses you get them in.
3. Heineken/Corona
4. Anything else

1. VB for summer, ice cold of course and any time of the day.
2. Makers in winter (neat), restricted to special occasions or when the other half is out of town.

3. A nice red with a meal, preferably meat involved, not the type that swims.

I second this statement. Have a mate bringing me back some more 18yo Caol Ila from the UK in the near future. I dislike not having any of it :P

Laphroaig isn't bad, but for my money, there are better Islay malts out there.

Bourbons: Wild turkey (if nothing else), Makers Mark, Blantons, Elijah Craig, Woodforde Reserve, Wild Turkey Rare Bread, 1792 (Available in the USA, not here and is the best of the lot).
Beer: Just about anything except a lot of these new prissy girlie beers - Fat Yak and many of the James Squire crap. I like my beer bitter, a stout or a dark ale.
Wine: Red and Dry Whites - Not up-to-date on brands but if it's a good one I'll drink it.
Port: Not up-to-date either on brands but I like a good port.

Various beers - Squires Amber/Golden, Sam Adams, Asahi, etc. Extra dry is cheap and cheerful. Quadrupels are good if you're in a hurry.
Canadian club and dry.
But mostly gin. Quality gin. Bombay Sapphire and Tanqueray are the regulars with Hendricks for special occasions.

Gin and tonics are easy and tasty. Don't mind a Tom Collins, but they involve a little effort. Martinis are king though. So tasty, freakin easy to make and so classy.

Non alcoholic - lots of water, cordial with soda water.

My favourites are:

- Red and white wine
- Baileys on ice (no milk)
- Tanqueray gin with tonic water and a dash of lime
- Midori with pineapple juice and lemonade

All of this being said, I think I only really drink maybe 1-2 drinks/2 months max, and it's usually just a glass with dinner.

Not a huge drinker.

Alcohol - mainly Coronas with lime, but I like trying different beers so cruise Dan's for Aussie and OS brews and mix it up. Will drink most beers as is evidenced by my gut.
Wine - like red, most varieties, not a variety snob just like grabbing something and giving it a go. been meaning to start recording it all so I know when something is awesome or s***. very occasional white (sav blanc, chenin, verdelho) very very occasionally bubbles, bubbles and white are day time wines for me.
don't touch any spirits but will drink things like baileys, kahlua, etc after dins.

Hot drinks - love Glorias and other coffee shop coffees if they are good. don't drink instant at all. like Chi and green tea also.
LIke Iced Coffees on weekends.

Softies - Pepsi Max addict, if not available then Lemon/Lime/Bitters either Agostura or that Bundy version, hate coke of any variety.

And tonnes of water all day at work and beside my bed every night. I piss like Niagra falls!!

Im a hard core jack daniels drinker, going out on the piss friday night to a local surf club will be drinking j.D all night long YEEEEEHAR.


Jack Daniel's is not a bourbon - it's a Tennessee Whiskey. Jack Daniel's is dripped slowly - drop-by-drop - through ten feet of firmly packed charcoal (made from hard sugar maple) before going into new charred oak barrels for aging. This special process gives Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey its rare smoothness. It's this extra step - charcoal mellowing - that makes Jack Daniel's a Tennessee Whiskey

Bourbon is at least 51% corn and is indigenous to the United States.
Southern Ham says: For a whiskey to qualify as bourbon, the law--by international agreement--stipulates that it must be made in the USA. It must be made from at least 51% and no more than 79% Indian corn, and aged for at least two years. (Most bourbon is aged for four years or more.) Jack Daniel's and George D***el of Tennessee are both 80% corn (their Barley and Rye percentages differ) thus taking them out of the strict "Bourbon" definition. Both distillers rather proudly point out that they are "Tennessee Sippin' Whiskies

Reverend, meh it's just a name. JD is stored with the bourbons at liquor stores, bourbon drinkers will drink JD and JD drinkers will drink bourbons generally.

I wouldn't really call it a "sipping whiskey" though, it's not exactly the greatest quality spirit to drink neat (I do love it with a mixer though).

Try a Guinness with a shot of rum in it (called a Black & Tan) - gets you all toasty warm :)

I've also been drinking a lot of Irish Mist lately and my Bushmills 10yr old single malt to top of the evening.
