...and i suppose a Welsh drink would be medd (mead). Not that I've ever actually ever drunk any.

Oddly enough, Mead is originally from China. Boggled my mind the first time I learned that.

You may be referring to Braggot, though. It's a Welsh mead.

It was actually from Egypt

Yes, I have a problem...

Technically, you are correct. Then again, so does beer and wine and liquor. All alcoholic beverages do date back to 20-40 thousand years ago in the fertile crescent area, but China was the first to mass produce it for public consumption around 7 or 8 thousand years ago.

The one and only...

It's world famous in New Zealand since ages ago.

I downed that by the case when I was over in Auckland. It's hard to get in Australia for some reason.

For America, I pick bourbon, the tastiest of all liquors.

Named for a Family of french royalty.

IRN BRU!


The most popular soft drink in Scotland, coca cola can go fuck off

I love that stuff, it is hard to get in Canada though.

Victoria Bitter, FTW!

C.C. my good man. Canadian Club!

Brewed in my hometown!

My grandfather loves that stuff. Thank you Canada.

My grandfather brewed it. You're welcome Daystar.

You mean he worked in a brewery or that he actually created it?

Worked at the brewery.

Canada= Beer. Even though we make an already putrid tasting drink worse, were somehow associated with it.

 

[Yureina]

I have a preference to Dr. Pepper, personally. That would be my choice, even though I don't think it would win in the US.

I'm from the U.S. but live in Taiwan, at current.

The national beverage would either be Taiwan Beer (臺灣啤&#37202

In Australia, all we drink is beer and the blood of any of the many venomous beasts we have to slaughter on our way to the car in the morning.

And Milo.

Ah yes Milo. THE FUEL OF THE GODS!

 

[Knusper]

A nice warm pint glass of ale!

You guys can make it, you just don't know how to drink it.

Err... from a glass into your mouth?

Bawls is also one that seems to be popular among gamers but I think Mountain Dew is just a gamers drink.

Bawls tastes like what would happen if Sprite got into the energy drink business.

Well, being Norwegian, there is little to choose from except maybe Mead. (Yeah, maybe the Chinese invented it, but we were it's main consumers!)

Anyhow, for medieval and modern time it has got to be Aquavit:

Wikipedia:

In Norway it is particularly drunk at celebrations, such as Christmas or May 17 (Norwegian Constitution Day). In Sweden it is a staple of the traditional midsummer celebrations dinner, usually drunk while singing one of many drinking songs. It is usually drunk as snaps during meals, especially during the appetizer course? along with pickled herring, crayfish, lutefisk or smoked fish. In this regard it is popularly quipped that akvavit helps the fish swim down to the stomach. It is also a regular on the traditional Norwegian Christmas meals, including roasted rib of pork and stickmeat (pinnekjøtt). It is said that the spices and the alcohol helps digest the meal which is very rich in fat.

Among the most important brands are Løiten, Lysholm and Gilde from Norway

(...)

Particular to the Norwegian tradition are linje akvavits (such as "Løiten Linje" and "Lysholm Linje"). These have been carried in oak casks onboard ships crossing the equator (linje) twice before being sold. While many experts claim that this tradition is little more than a gimmick, some argue that the moving seas and frequent temperature changes cause the spirit to extract more flavour from the casks. Norwegian akvavit distillers Arcus has carried out a test where they tried to emulate the rocking of the casks aboard the "Linje" ships while the casks were subjected to the weather elements as they would aboard a ship. The finished product was according to Arcus far from the taste that a proper "Linje" akvavit should have, thus the tradition of shipping the akvavit casks past the "Linje" and back continues.

I was going to go with this but as a (somewhat) purebred Trønder, I have to say Karsk. That's strong black coffee with a generous helping of 96% Moonshine. It tastes like something died in your soul, and I hate it. But you gotta suport local "business" and whatnot.

Tea!

If not, nothing beats Black Sheep Ale.

Cold. In a frosted glass. I hate beer and even I know that.

Ok guys, time for some liquid based fun!
[sub]...that sounds wrong...[/sub]

What would you say is your national beverage? The drink the majority of people within your country love. Whether it be beer (something specific please), coffee, Coca Cola etc.

I'm British, so I would disappoint all our American friends if I failed to say...

And yes, the biscuit is mandatory.

Hmmm... really? I always though a good hearty pint is a better represntative of todays Britain.
