Poll: What alcohol do you prefer?

[Mr Fixit]

I'll drink anything, but I love a nice smooth whiskey or the hard hit bourbon. I try to avoid tequilla, it's the only that makes my head hurt.

 

[Blow_Pop]

I'm very much a whiskey girl. I drink vodka when I've gone through a bad breakup. I also like rum.

 

[Gabriela D.]

If white wine is available, that. Beer otherwise. Or vodka. Absolutely hate gin.

 

[KaiserKnight]

A single malt scotch with two cubes of ice.

 

[That's Funny]

Can't beat a good Scotch Whiskey.

I don't get bad hangovers from it either. (probably because I tend to drink it less)

 

[OriginalLadders]

Cider, but proper ciders, not Strongbow or Magners or anything along those lines.

 

[erto101]

A good beer like Leffe or urquell is my personal preference.

 

[6037084]

Vodka when I want to get drunk
Whiskey when I'm feeling sophisticated
Rum when there's no vodka
Wine when I'm eating food
and I really don't like the taste of beer

 

[Conza]

Woah woah woah there. Where's Scotch AND Bourbon? I say Scotch, so I vote Whiskey, other guy says Bourbon, so he also votes Whiskey?

Aye, it's a bit vague / lacking. Scotch isn't even an option in the poll (except for under 'Other'), since it's whisky, not whiskey.

Irish + bourbon = whiskey.
Scotch + Canadian = whisky.

Hmm, would appreciate a reference on that wording, as I'm unfamiliar with the distinction.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whiskey

Wiki, sort of, supports your, position.

"One is that the spelling difference is simply a matter of local language convention for the spelling of a word, indicating that the spelling will vary depending on the background or personal preferences of the writer (like the difference between color and colour; tire and tyre; or recognize and recognise),[47][48] and the other is that the spelling should depend on the style or origin of the spirit that is being described. However, there is general agreement that when quoting the proper name printed on a label, the spelling that is used on the label should not be altered.[47][48] Some writers will refer to "whisk(e)y" or "whisky/whiskey" to acknowledge the variation."

But ultimately, like the majority I suspect, whiskey is coined to cover the entire Scotish, Irish, Canadian and American types of spirited alcohol.

 

[Roxor]

Nothing. I can't have alcohol at all. I were to have it, I'd be a dead man.

 

[Yopaz]

Pure alcohol mixed with rose petals. Or beer with meals.

 

[ChocoFace]

Rum & coke. didn't even need to think about this one.
I do generally end up drinking beer cause it's cheap.

 

[Hoplon]

Swedish pear cider. delicious.

Can't stand the apple version, smell like vomit to me.

[sirloganmoore]

MEAD! SERVED CHILLED IN A TANKARD AS I CAVORT WITH WENCHES!

Ohhh yes. And Rum.

I'm going to be pedantic here but, there's no such thing as pear cider. The definition of cider is quite specific on the involvement of apples. Perry is the drink made using the same process as cider but with pears instead.

Sorry, it just really bugs me how common "pear cider" is when the term is kind of meaningless.

I know, but if I had said perry, would have got 10 quotes going "what's perry"
