I have to do the hard stuff carefully. Red wine will always be my drink of choice, though honestly I feel worse the next day than when I drink practically anything else.
Anyone else enjoy a nip o' the barley?

The only hard liquor I drink anymore (for the most part!) is the occasional margarita. Red wine is my drink of choice! 
Me Mum had a friend who put milk in her scotch, or scotch in her milk. Boak
I'm not usually a margarita drinker but the other night at Red Lobster, they served me one helluva huge contraption called a strawberry margarita. I'd never drank one before, but it came in a very large glass. It was very tasty. The salt on the side of the glass was a perfect contrast to the strawberry, but I'm not sure why. Anyway, since I wasn't driving, I had about three more....very good drinks
They were the tastiest drinks I've sampled in quite a while. Don't go to Red Lobster very often, but might start if they keep serving those drinks.OoO i love straw berry margaritas lol
I'm an ABC girl: Anything But Chardonnay, at least these days that's the truth. I don't like metallic-tasting fermentation that gives me a headache after half a glass.
But a chewy cabernet, a tingly pinot grigio, or a curvy dry Riesling will work just fine for me.
I'll take a sip off someone's scotch every now and then, but it's not my drink of choice.

Interesting. To me, chardonnay tastes like pinot grigio with butter added.
Every now and then, Grandma and I will have chili and a Guinness each. And every now and then, she'll have a scotch with me. I told that to my best friend in town, and he immediately fell in love with her.

After i have my son i'm definatly going to be having a few lbvs.
Well, a scot story, in a doble sense. When i was working in Germany for three years i met a working collegue who was from Scotland. We used to go out and shot pool in the evenings and drink some beers. Then he discovered that i hadn't drunk any Whisky. He was shocked. We must remedy that he said. So the next evening we spent walking from pub to pub and sampling different whisky brands. Glenlivet and Glenmorangie i remember but there was more. It didn't seem to affect him so i in my naivity thought i would be fine. The next morning i thought i was going to die. I was sure. Somehow i managed to put clothes on and get to work put they only looked at me and sent me home again. Said not to worry, that i was sick today, a cold or something. I guess it was obvious what my real sickness was. I went home and was dead for the rest of that day. But when i arose again to a new life i still liked whisky. But now i had learned my limits so it didn't happen again. That was how got to know what whisky is all about. But i must admit im not fond of the american ones i've tried.
Has anyone on here ever drank Sake lol i get wasted quick on that.
Oh, sure. Over in Japan and here. I like it with the right food, but I wouldn't party on it.
I take that back. I was in a group where we had a ton of fun, and part of it was doing a round or two of sake bombs. There was some ritual that went with it. I don't remember it specifically. There was hollering and laughter in the mix.
Not a fan of warm Sake, but chilled it’s a tad better. Still have a bottle brought back from Japan sitting in the back of my small bar fridge... about 15 years old by now. Can’t seem to get myself to throw it out, as the bottle looks so cool.
