Ice to keep it cold - both drinks are meant to be served with ice, and in the case of Taboo a mixer, but if you fill the glass with ice one is not needed.s0denone said:What do you mean by this?

Well, in the alcoholic category, I've got naught, but I have a strong urge to try vodka. Good, 80 proof Russian-made wheat vodka, not flavored or anything like that. Ever since my fascination with Russia kicked in, I've wanted to see what it tastes like.
But in the more legal category, I drink tea. Lots and lots and lots of tea. It's like, my entire liquid diet, unless it's a school lunch, in which case I drink grape, orange, or apple juice.

Ah, makes good sense; I just know quite a few people that drink it with ice just to lessen the taste. Pardon my curiousity.Blue Sonnet said:Ice to keep it cold - both drinks are meant to be served with ice, and in the case of Taboo a mixer, but if you fill the glass with ice one is not needed.s0denone said:What do you mean by this?

NP - My mum and sister drink Baileys warm, on it's own, and it just tastes like cheap whisky to me that way, I never understood it!s0denone said:Ah, makes good sense; I just know quite a few people that drink it with ice just to lessen the taste.

Everyone freaks when I tell them I pop an ice cube in my glass of milk, but in the summer it's the only way to still have a cold drink after an hour and not a pint of yoghurt...

Soda: Wild Cherry Pepsi
Hot: Coffee
Energy Drink: Bawls
Alcoholic: Dos Equis, but I have a weakness for Fuzzy Navels. I know...it's a fruity foo foo drink....what can I say I like the taste.
Least Favorites
Soda: Pretty much anything with no caffeine
Hot: Those Hot Totty concoctions from Hell
Energy Drink: Steven Seagal's Lightning Bolt (yes it exists...)
Alcoholic: Jack Daniels. Used to drink it a lot when I was younger. Now the smell just brings back bad memories. LOL That and Southern Comfort. I've never liked that crap.

I almost always drink beer, because liquor is no healthier and just gets me completely smashed, and I always do something I regret, whether it's saying something I shouldn't or missing the whole party because I'm hugging the porcelain god.
Thing is, I'm kind of a beer snob. I don't like the ordinary cheap stuff - I'll only touch the absolute crap like Lucky or Dude or Milwaukee's Finest if there is absolutely no other choice (though I'll make an exception for Winchester because it's $10 a pitcher on nights that I usually go to the pub). I also generally avoid the mass-produced crummy beers like Budweiser and Molson Canadian and Coors and even the crummy international beers like Stella Artois and Heineken. The good beers are almost always premium imports and above all microbreweries. I like to experiment and try as much as I can, but when I'm in a pub or a liquor store with a limited selection I come back to a particular local microbrewery called Granville Island Brewing that has a fantastic pale ale and even better seasonal beers (right now it's the Winter Ale, which is like the pale ale except with a vanilla finish, but in the summer it's Hefeweizen, a delicious fruity thing that might be my favorite beer) or the really good imports like Newcastle or Leffe.

Booze: Harp beer. Great stuff, nice and thick. Blue Moon is good too. For harder stuff, I'm a straight vodka fan. I tried Absinthe and it tasted like piss, mixed with goat piss, mixed with alien goat piss.
Non-Booze: Stewart's root beer is harvested from magical waterfalls in heaven. Herbal teas, black coffee, and orange juice.

I'm British, it'd be sacrilege to say anything other than tea.
...that and Diet Coke, for the sake of feeding my now-slightly-worrying caffeine addiction. If we're talking alcohol, Guinness and Hoegaarden are the current favourites but Corona is a faithful friend.

Harp is awesome but I can only get it in terrible "Irish" Bars when I am in England. A good non Alcoholic drink is just fruit juice and soad water I love that.
