I dislike alcohol. Therefore, I choose none of them. What's wrong with a good Root Beer, anyway?

Well I guess this depends:
*Am I just trying to enjoy some company and talk with people? Lagers & Stout
*Am I trying to get drunk or buzzed to hit up a club with people? Vodka
*Am I sitting in my study with other fellow millionaires having an armchair discussion making fun of poor people and minorities? Brandy
*Am I insane? Grain Alcohol

My parent are very involved in alcohol, so that might have rubbed off on me. The first stuff I drank was their left over wine when I washed the dishes.
Currently my favorite drinks are either Rum and Coke or a really, really dirty martini.

Any liquor is fine for me. Most of the time when I get drink I'm planning on getting drunk, and Drinking is a Means to an End. And I don't see the point of taking 15 minutes to drink a beer "To Get Socially Lubed Up" when you can just take a shot and be done with it. Granted you'll have to pace more carefully but I just prefer to take shots over beer.
I'll drink almost anything, really... But instead of listing them all, I'll just say my favourite, which is Rum. Specifically, Coruba, a traditional Jamaican rum sold from New Zealand, who have it imported from Jamaica. Even more specifically, the Original Coruba, which is darker as opposed to their more recent "Gold" Coruba.
It's sweeter than other Rum's, and whenever I actually have the money, I'll buy it and have it straight. Geez that stuff is tasty...
Like I said above, Coruba is made in a more traditional way, too. It's very, very close to the rum that pirates would have been drinking.
For your other questions...
I'll have a couple beers after a hot day with friends, perhaps, but for the most part I drink with friends before heading out on the town. Even so, I'll stay away from "goon" ("goon" is that really, really cheap wine that a lot of Uni students get. I hate that stuff...) and most really cheap drinks - if I don't have much money to re-stock my alcohol collection, I'll get Port. It's about $7-$10 for relatively good quality 700ml Port (good enough to drink, at least. The port that is cheaper than $7 is terrible, too). Since I only really drink before heading out on the town, I try to make sure that what I'm drinking at least tastes good, or I may not drink at all.
I do not have a drinking problem. I've only been really, properly drunk 3 times in my life. The rest of the time, I'll get to tipsy-almost-drunk and stop drinking for a while, or for the rest of the night. Except for those 3 other times, I know when to stop.
EDIT: When actually at clubs, I'll try to stay away from drinking too much, seeing as how ridiculously expensive drinks at pubs/clubs/bars/etc. seem to be. If I do drink, though, it'll either be a shot of Tequila with friends (no salt or chaser for me, thanks ^_^ ), or a Black Russian. Mmm...

I voted "Draughts, Lagers, or Stouts (Finer Beers)" and then realized you listed all lagers as "finer beers," as well as stouts and any type of beer available on tap, but left any type of ale that isn't either a stout or poured from a tap off the list of finer beers. Shame, shame; you do know that almost all of the cheap American swill is a form of lager, right? It just means the beer was brewed cold and fermented at the bottom of the barrel.
OT: I like ales -- especially a good Imperial Stout. It takes a really high quality lager, on the other hand, for me to drink one of those outside of a party or a restaurant with a crappy beer list. The other drink that I really like is whiskey, preferably Scotch whiskey. I'm on good terms with vodka, rum, and plenty of other hard liquors, but Scotch is my personal favorite. I picked the decent beer option because I drink a lot more beer than hard liquor.
