Technically Lager and Stout are both types of beer, with Lager being one of the two main categories of beer (the other being ale), and stout being a type of ale. OT: When I'm out, I tend to drink beer, usually a dark ale if I can get it, and if I'm lucky enough to be someplace that serves it, Imperial Stouts[footnote]An imp stout is like a stout, but a lot more strongly flavored. I honestly find Guiness to be watery compared to what I'm used to, which is hilarious since i mostly drink American microbrews[/footnote]are my favorite variety. When I'm providing my own alcohol or have access to it cheaply (restaurants and bars /way/ overcharge for liquor) I love whiskey and golden rum, both of which I'll happily drink both in mixed drinks and, depending on the quality of the liquor, neat in a rocks glass. I also occasionally like a nice dry cider, like the one Woodchuck makes out of green apples[footnote]It tastes more like a fruity beer than a beery fruit juice, if that makes sense.[/footnote]. I'll drink other things too, but those are the staples that I buy regularly.
