Either,neither,both :confused:
I mainly drink booze based around the lager group of drinkies. I do like the relatively expensive Italian Peroni, goes down well with a nice pizza :lickface:
I also rather like some of the cheaply price Polish plonk such as Tyskie and i'm currently drinking a supermarkets own brand bierre/alsace which is very tasty for the price. I do try and avoid Carling though as its the beer equivalent of canal water :scared:
Only branded names for me everytime.
Goes for food aswell,however,there is a cider from Aldi's (you'd never catch me in there) (snob) called "Taurus"
Someone bought me some last week and it was rather jolly pleasant!
My drinking criteria is inversely proportional to the amount of drinking involved.
That said, I will never ever ever touch Carling. It's like dishwater but without the bits.
thanks for the lovley welcome guys.......im chuffed to little dolly mixtures to be back!
In the pub...bitter price is irrelevant
At home...Spirits..depends what they're being used for
Vodka unless drunk neat the cheaper the better
Gin with tonic should be aromatic so I use a more expensive one (although I've found Larios to be both cheap and nice)my own favourite is Tanqueray .
Brandy as a general rule is better the more you spend on it and is awful mixed.
Whisky again gets better the more you spend and is spoiled by scotch Whiskeys again depend on their use (Southern Comfort is an abomination and an insult to the art of brewing).
I do like to make a cocktail or two every now and then and find the best results come from using good quality products.
As for wine there's good cheap ones and bad expensive ones so it all comes down to finding what you like.
I very rarely drink beer of any sort at home as I firmly believe beer should be served from a pump in company and by a buxom barmaid (I'm just an old fashioned kind of guy deep down)
whatever is on 3 for a tenner that is marginally ok
money is tight
I'v tried various non-branded stuff and it's generally drinkable but not as nice as the original.
With wine, I tend to avoid anything own-brand but go for the 3 for £10 at Asda. I can't justify spending more than £5 on a bottle of wine - wither by cost or taste. Since £5 tastes great (depending on which you chose and what you drink it with) £10 simply can't taste twice as good.
I dont use booooze any more, so cannot play
however in years gone I was very pickie indeed.
It simply had to be over nine percent volume
and a must have at below £1
anything else just simply wasn't alcoholism.

Welcome back Boney..and mines a malibu and pineapple or sometimes a bacardi and coke xxxx
Has to be said, Smart Price whisky is the weapon of choice when anxiety has to be assuaged... but for taste I like famous grouse .. lovely stuff.
The stuff I like, I can tell instantly if it's the real deal (Southern Comfort, a good Single Malt Scotch that gives you hair on your chest and an urge to say "oooh mammy!" when you drink it) over the cheapo alternative, but for stuff I don't drink much of (pretty much everything else) It could be Aldi's rat blasting, drain cleaning grog or a vastly expensive brand and I wouldn't be able to tell the difference.
Apart from Hoegaarden beer which is the result of a combination of the devils anal dousings with added rancid bat urine. Only worse.
I was being serious too :shock:
