I am a man of simple tastes....
Lager
Orally by preference, but intraveanously when needs must.

I'm with Kat on this one: Lager, Lager and then some more Lager. Not the Premium stuff though (Stella or Kronenbourg !!!) Loopy Juice
Has to be Bitter for me!
When theres no hand pumps, then something cheap...
Actually hand pump beer tends to be cheaper than gas pumped, but I like a "hoppy/muggly" taste and the cheap beers have that taste, oh and not to strong!
Occasionally a single malt wiskey, but mixed with lemonade :shock: (I know thats sacriledge)
Guinness... Port.. Baileys 'n' Ice..
and Cold Dry Cider on a hot summer's Day.. or a Pimms and Lemonade over crushed ice..

For a refreshment taken in quantity it has to be White Cider, for drinking at table I prefer a dry White Wine, pref french, Macon springs to mind,
Whilst I do not especially enjoy Red Wine I do enjoy port, but preferred after dinner drink would have to be Malt Whisky, with just a splash of water... tend to the spey side malts as opposed to the Westcoast and island malts.
And anyone who puts anything other than water in malt really ought to stick to something else.... I keep a bottle of cheap scotch for guests that want lemonade or coke!!! no point wasting the good stuff!!!

Will, are you scrapping again? For God's sake, have a drink!
Sappho hands Will a large goblet of Penfold's Rawson's Retreat. Now give me the rapier, dear.
Mmm, drinkies! Good idea. Would love a Pimms or a Campari, please. Plenty of ice.
Now somebody very close to my heart recently introduced to me gin and tonic - very refreshing at a hot munch. For sipping late at night, a Glayva or a Benedictine. With dinner, the wine is dictated by the meal but Australian for preference every time - Wolf Blass, Penfold's, Jacob's Creek).
Please no vodka - not after getting pie-eyed in a thread run by Fred. I'm still grateful to Artificer for rescuing me.

:therethere: Have a drink Jags, it'll calm you down. Bombay Sapphire?

This is going to be tough.
Weird Belgian and Dutch beers are great fun, as anyone who's witnessed me snoring in the GFZ still clutching a bottle of raspberry beer will know. Duvel, at 8.5%, is quite a favourite (and the Sarge thinks Stella is loopy juice, HAH!). But it's still not quite the same as a nice pint of Landlord.
Gin? Has to be Plymouth. Best enjoyed with French vermouth.
Whisky? Highland Park, or Springbank if you're buying.
Brandy? Armagnac please.
And Vin Rose - say a nice Sancerre - is the new Guiness.
Wine - red or white. Red has to be thick and white has to be dry - Aussie over USA but Chilean are getting better. When in Germany I have access to the red wine produced from the vineyard my family have for a back garden. The wine is superb, thick, juicy and so so tasty but none of the German red is exported - we get the wine lake stuff instead.
Think we've talked about whiskies before so I won't repeat myself
Gin - Bombay Sapphire or Tanquerary
Don't do beer/lager/ale though I have been told that the Hexhamshires are good???
Cider - nope

Fred!!!!
We even have the same taste in drinks!! Agree with all of that - especially the beers.
As for a cocktail - you can't beat a Corpse Reviver!
2 measures of brandy, 1 measure of calvados and 1 measure of red vermouth.
It is apltly named. The first one (or two) can certainly wake the dead. Mind you, after four or five you are straight back in the coffin!
Note to self - remember to take calvados and vermouth on Saturday. There is at least one of us who might be needing it!
Although a good real ale does not get rejected.
Oh dear do we have a problem!!!
