The Great N-E Beverage of Choice!

[Fierce_LiNk]

I have been out as had been mentioned in la previous thread, for drinks in the pub.

My drinks of choice are Strongbow, Magners, and other Ciders. I also like Vodkas and Coke by the double...but

Strongbow is my drink of choice.

My question. ENN-EE, what are your drinks of choice!

SPEAK QUICKLY!

[Cube]

If I'm going to drink alcohol, it's usually Strongbow.

Pubs should start serving Dr. Pepper. Vodka & Dr. Pepper = Awesomeness.

Dr. Pepper on it's own is the best drink ever.

[gaggle64]

Whisky dammit, straight. No ice, no water. Put some fire in that little boys belly, mould a man out of you.

[Dyson]

Liquid preferably.

[Letty]

POMEGREAT!

ITS GREAT!

(no, I dont drink :( )

[ShadowV7]

Slurm. Can't go wrong with it.

Though I like Ribena, Water, Milk and Milkshakes. And i'm not a health freak :heh:

[Zell]

Well the local sells Kronenbourg, so that's what I usually have.

However the nicest drink ever is undisputedly cough medicine.

[Coolness Bears]

POMEGREAT!

ITS GREAT!

(no, I dont drink :( )

I don't drink either. :grin: :yay:


DR. PEPPER FTW!!! What's the worst that can happen? :heh:

[Fierce_LiNk]

DR. PEPPER FTW!!! What's the worst that can happen? :heh:

Oooo!

DOC-TER PEPPER!
SO MIS-UN-DER-STOOD!


LAA LAAA LAAAAAAAA LAA LAA LAAAAAAAAAA!

[Hem]

Truth. I found out the other month that cheap vodka mixed with Dr. Pepper bears a high resemblence in taste to Amaretto, but without being as sickly LDO.

My drinks of choice lager wise are as follows; Carlsberg Export, Kronenbourg, San Miguel. Favourite ciders are Blackthorn and Old Rosie.

My favourite spirits are; Vodka & Orange Juice, Rum (Captain Morgan's) & Coke, Southern Comfort (straight). I also like a good Cointreau or Pernod.

[Mundi]

Vodka and Coke is my drink of choice or just plain vodka.
Tempted to try Dr.Pepper and vodka but it´s hard for me too find a store that sells Dr.Pepper

[chrizkerr2]

Cider...

Magners, Strongbow, Jacques, Cirrus, Kopperburg and so on.

Just love the stuff!

[Supergrunch]

Whisky, with ice. For some reason people always ask if I want coke in it as well... I think whisky and coke is horrible.

As for non-alcoholic drinks... apple juice and diet coke. As I've probably mentioned before, I prefer the taste of diet coke.

[The Bard]

No beer but Guinness. Sometimes I order a pitcher and sit there drinking it out of a straw.

I'm not a beer drinker though. It's Jagermeister all the way. If not, I usually go for a few doubles of whatever dry gin/ Whiskey they got, or if I'm feeling like a ****, I'll go for the green aftershocks. Straight and no Ice. You can't down it if theres ice involved.

[Oxigen_Waste]

Coke. Or Beer. Or both. :D

[conzer16]

Bottled Miller, pints of Heineken, or my favourite, a good oul pint of Ireland herself - Guinness!

[Stefkov]

Pepsi and water.
The odd Orange and passion fruit J20.

I did have a bottle of brandy basically to myself. But I didn't get pissed cos of all the food I ate.

[rokhed00]

Special Brew or Vodka.

[Nintenchris]

Pepsi

[thirtynine.]

Coppaberg.
I have no idea if thats spelt right, alcoholic or non its all good.

[EEVILMURRAY]

Normally Carling/Carlsberg/Fosters, the cheap shit.

However I have a bottle of Smirnoff and a bottle of Martini with an optic sticking out for correct measurements under my feet.

[Iun]

Bourbon, or a nice Irish whisky.

Brandy for when I'm feeling low.

But from now until further notice, I am not allowed alcohol.

If its Irish, it's WHISKEY

:indeed:

[Hellfire]

Lipton Lemon Ice Tea all the way!

[Ashley]

Dr Pepper normally.

G&T if we're talking alcohol.

[Dan Dare]

alcohol I tend to go for largers and vodka mixes on a night out. they go down smooth and result in more drunkenness than wallet pain. s'all good in the hood.

for food, red wine is king, and for a movie in it's all about premium beers in giant man sized bottles.

[martinist]

Pimm's No. 1 or Whisky

also hot vimto.

[My Buttons are Magic!]

yes definatly

i dont drink alcohol so my drink of choice is definately dr pepper :D

I don't drink either. :grin: :yay:

woooooooo!

Pepsi

not fair , now i want a pepsi :(

Dr Pepper normally.

G&T if we're talking alcohol.

good choice :yay:

[ReZourceman]

Alcohol = Kronenbourg, and I wouldn't even know about it, if it wasnt for you fine NE-ers. Cant beat a pint of that with crabber loads of ice.

Of course I cant drink alcohol atm as you know/dont care.

Non Alcohol = Mostly non carbonated stuff. Juice wins, Apple and Melon J20 is the greatest thing ever though. From an ice cold bottle. Win.

[Shorty]

Coca Cola, I drink the stuff by the bucket load.

Snakebite & Black is always a good choice. Half a cider, half a lager and blackcurrant cordial. Add a shot of vodka if you're daring. My g/f and I sort of have an "our drink" think (like "this is our song!" but with drink) and that's Southern Comfort. A ridiculously smooth high alcohol content wannabe whisky.

[ReZourceman]

My g/f and I sort of have an "our drink" thing

Ewww, you can stop right there.

[rapunzel]

Dont drink much but a few bottles of Old Peculiar realy warms you up.
For non Al-key-hall-ik its anything with pinapple

[EEVILMURRAY]

For the non-alcoholic massive, it's got to be Sainsbury's apple and blackcurrent cordial, nicely chilled.

[Charlie]

Really depends where I am and on which night.

Monday - Don't think I've ever been out
Tuesday - All drinks 99p at the Union so Southern Comfort/Lemonade
Wednesday - All drinks £1 at Bamboo - Southern Comfort/Lemonade
Thursday - Pints of Budweiser or Heineken at the Arc before moving onto the garage where vodka/lemonade is £1.50
Friday - Pints of Fosters at the Union
Saturday - 80p Vodka/lemonade at the Union
Sunday - £1 vodka mix at Bamboo

[weeyellowbloke]

Listen very carefully for I shall say this only once.

I have red wine when watching telly with my girlfriend. When at home my drink of choice is Brothers festival strength pear cider. When out at a pub I usually get myself a Guinness, an Old Rosie, an ale (whatever is on offer) or if I'm feeling cheap something crappy like a Fosters or Strongbow.

[BeerMonkey]

Stella or fosters/carlberg/carling

but if they have stella ill be on that....and shots

[Mr_Odwin]

Shloer.
Chilled Red Grape Juice, with some nice brie on crackers.

(I don't drink alcoholic beverages.)

[Jimbob]

Fosters and Magners for me alcohol wise. Pepsi and Pinapple juice for non-alcohol wise drinks.

[Ramar]

Carlsberg Export is my favoured beer, though I'll drink most crap beers like Carling/Stella/Foster's. Then if the nights getting good or I want a really nice drink I'll bust out some double vodka, red bull and double apple sourz.

[Gizmo]

I'm a boring non-drinker. Can't beat a good ol' Sprite or Fanta Lemon.

[Tellyn]

For none alcoholic beverages, Lipton's Lemon Ice Tea is pwnage.

Shloer.

I concur.

[James]

Lager, normally Carling but if I can afford it I'd rather have Stella.

[mr-paul]

Non Alcoholic:

Diet Coke
Pepsi Max
Orange/Tropical Squash

Hot:

Hot Chocolate

Alcohol:

Bacardi Breezers
Smirnoff Ice
Vodka
Rum
Sambucca
Champagne

All of them rock :D

[Roostophe]

Non-Alcoholic: Coke, Dr Pepper, Ribena, Milk.

Alcoholic: Magners. Beer of choice TBD.

Somewhere in-between: Shandy :smile:

[The Bard]

Who the fuck drinks Bacardi Breezers and Smirnoff Ice? It's like alcohol for men with a testosterone deficiency.

[Ellmeister]

Its all about the Koppaburg! That stuff is the bee's knees! Pear cider is awesome!

Usually start off with that if I can, but I'm flexible. Magners, strongbow, fosters, carlsberg any of those in my hand and it will be drunk. Vodka, or malibu will have to do for shots if I ever have them, rarity these days.

Vodka and coke is ok, except I get accused of being a woman >_>

Snakebite and black is also aa very nice mix! Good choice shorty!

[welsh_gamer]

Non-Alchoholic : Coke, Lemonade, Cordinal's, Juice, Strawberry Milkshake

Alchoholic : WKD, Smirnoff, Vodka, random Shot's

[JonSt]

Non Alchoholic - Coke Cola

Alchoholic - Vodka and Red Bull

[Daniel]

Snakebite and black is called a Nasty :) its the main drink at Loughborough uni. They have special nasty stations where they have cider and larger taps next to each other and a blackcurrent pump thing in the middle so dont even need to move the glass :)

For me though i drink John Smiths :) Can't beat it

[mr-paul]

Who the fuck drinks Bacardi Breezers and Smirnoff Ice? It's like alcohol for men with a testosterone deficiency.

I do.
I don't care if they're seen as girl's drinks.
I like them.
They taste a hell of a lot better than beer.

[Twozzok]

Whiskey with a splash of coke. Well, that's if I'm pouring it myself, if not it'll just be a double JD & coke :(

[MoogleViper]

Aren't we a little old and mature to be stereotyping drinks and labelling them as girls' drinks? No?

And I think Smirnoff ice tastes nice.

[The Bard]

The point is, Smirnoff Ice is the same price as a pint give or take, and in fact, it's usually more, and you get half the alcohol, for effectively a half pint of lemonade but with a slightly foul taste. It's for people that get fucked off of 6 units, nothing to do with how it tastes; nobody drinks alcohol for the taste.

[Slaggis]

I do.

You make an awesome point. I most definitely agree! (Also, my list is basically the same as yours :yay: ) Rum is awesome.

I've never liked the taste of beer tbh, it''s not horrible, just not my thing.

[Emasher]

Mountain Dew FTW!!!!!

[BeerMonkey]

but if its as disgusting as guininess i wont drink it

I sometimes drink alcohol for the taste. I can't always afford to get pissed.

It's a little odd, but alright.

[Ellmeister]

Mountain Dew FTW!!!!!

Seconded! That stuff is pure awesomeness in a can :D

[Eenuh]

non-alcoholic: carbonated water, hot chocolate or normal chocolate milk, coke...

alcoholic: white wine, champagne, cava/sparkling wine...

[McPhee]

I live of water.

When out boozing though it's anything goes. I'll drink anything that isn't wine or an alcopop (unless it involves strawpedo-ing it)

I sometimes drink alcohol for the taste. I can't always afford to get pissed.

I do too, a good Scotch Whisky or fine Vodka drunk neat. Highland Park, Monkey's Shoulder (both Whiskey) and Grey Goose (Vodka) are particular favourites of mine. Very nice :D Not to be rushed though...

All 3 are expensive (£30-ish a litre), so i tend to go with J&B (£15/litre) most of the time. Mixed with Coke to mask the (relative) crappyness (still better than Jack Daniels though, and cheaper)

[Goron_3]

Magners Irish cider (woopwoop) or some Kronenburg (swear thats not the right spelling for it) are the usuals for me.

Definately depends on what mood i'm in.

[The fish]

It's for people that get fucked off of 6 units, nothing to do with how it tastes; nobody drinks alcohol for the taste.

I drink Smirnoff Ice, and I take a lot more than 6 units, I like it's taste, and the main reason I drink it is that I prefer it to, say beer, which makes me feel sick.
Yes, I know I like girly drinks, but I prefer WKD, Smirnoff Ice, and cider over beer or wine. Champagne is nice, in moderation, and I must give a special mention to Magners. I love the stuff! :D

[Indigo]

It depends on the occasion.

With a nice meal, it has to be a good red wine (such as a Rioja). If I'm just out at the pub, then a pint of bitter (preferably a local ale, but otherwise Worthingtons ain't bad). At a jazz club I'll usually go for a gin martini, stirred, with an olive. On my lonesome? A little vermouth straight up (at the moment it's Martini Torino, which has a nice smoky flavour). If I'm just chilling out playing a decent game of poker with my friends I'll go for the vermouth.

For non-alcoholic drinks it's all about fruit juices. Or for true refreshment - water.

People just don't know how to drink anymore. Alcopops? Obviously drink just ain't your thing if you have to sweeten it up so much to tolerate it. May as well just enjoy a soft drink. There's no soul in drinking merely for the sensation rather than the taste.

Well said!

Also: Isn't it odd how Gin has disappeared off most people's drinking lists? Hardly anyone seems to drink it now, it's all about Archers, Bacardi, Smirnoff and Jack Daniels...

[Indigo]

Yeah, the only use it seems to get is with tonic. I think it's 'cos we've never really adopted the traditional cocktails over here (of which gin is a common base). You can hardly go ask for a gin martini down at your pub. But in the States, most bars would oblige you.

[EchoDesiato]

Tonight I've been introduced to saké. Conclusion: Balinese saké = heaven.

[Indigo]

Ah, awesome. I've been wanting to try some ever since I passed up the opportunity (in favour of a cocktail) at a Japanese restaurant. How does it taste?

[Dante]

My drinks are water, diet coke, tea with no sugar, Balinese saké, Smirnoff Ice, Bacardi, Carling, Carlsberg and Guinness.

[McPhee]

Tonight I've been introduced to saké. Conclusion: Balinese saké = heaven.

I tried some last week. Was horrible, but then again it was out of a supermarket so what did i expect :p £3.99 for a 330ml bottle!

I suppose it might just be down to me hating the taste of wine though, especially white wine.

[ipaul]

I'll drink whatever is on offer really =P Although I do very much like Red wine and Gin (straight or with tonic). Cider of choice would be Strongbow, while Stella and Tiger are nice lagers. Hate white wine though and some alcopops are foul >_<

Saké is something i've been wanting to try for a while actually. Just not got round to actually tasting it yet.

Also had some nice chilled Ribena earlier, nothing like it :)

[ReZourceman]

Magners Irish cider

Dont you mean Magenrs OYRISH SOYDAH!

;) ;) ;)

[Ellmeister]

Good ol bucks fizz! The cheaper it is the better the taste I think for some reason :/

Maybe because then its less champagne and more orange juice. I'm not a huge fan of champagne but the mix makes it nice =]

Or if you want something that tastes grand and gets you nicely pissed then go for a tasty Brothers festival strength pear cider if you can find it. At 7% I think I know who's winning (and it's not my liver).

[The Bard]

The only alcohol that I actually kind of like the taste of is Sambuca or Jagermeister. And of course, Guinness, but that isn't really beer, it's a meal in liquid form. Problem is, no good bars do drinks like that, they stick with the big brands, so I'm probably gonna have to scout the local pubs for the good shit.

Must... like... beer...

[MoogleViper]

I can't stand the taste of Guiness. It's like drinking sludge.

[The Bard]

Either way, you can't deny that it's the sexiest looking beer ever.
