Well? What're your favorite adult beverages? Spit it out.
Not literally of course. Perish the thought of spitting out booze.

'Star of the Forest' mixed with coffee.
It's a local specialty, great in cold weather. 'Star of the Forest' is the local popular name for homemade vodka. I believe english speakers would call it "Moonshine"
Or Jägermeister, served icecold.

Big red Wines - Zins, Cabs, and Shiraz (Syrah)
Bourbon - Maker's Mark and Knob Creek in particular
Scotch - Single Malt mainly
Beer - A huge fan of IPAs, but when I'm hot and thirsty most anything will do
I might have a margarita from time to time, but in general I don't much care for mixed drinks (cocktails)

Icey cold BEER! Preferably a dark full bodied beer. If I were in the British Isles or Australia, a Guiness, otherwise I will pass.

I'm a whore. Anything put in front of me.
Actually, I favor small batch Bourbons over single malts. Yeah, I'm a heathen. But I am an AMERICAN heathen!
Red wines with balls... Zins and Cabs. 7 Deadly Zins is a steal at ~$12/bottle
Crisp, clean vodkas. The ones you don't have to pay out the arse for. Svedka, Skyy, Sobieski.
Silver and Gold Patron seem to have favor with the ladies.
Beer has different tasks for different times. A heavy stout does not top a crisp lager after mowing the lawn. And a lager can't compare to a nice IPA with a steak.

Beer. Free is my favorite. Other than that I prefer something with more substance and taste than Bud/Miller/Coors etc.
Don't really care for wine at all. I only drink it when being polite to a host. The worst beer I've ever had beats the best wine I've ever had.
Hard stuff: Vodka (straight or in screwdrivers), Rum (and coke). Never did drink liquor much and almost never now.
(Beer is not liquor, it is liquid bread, and is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy)

Beer = Moosehead, Carling Pilsner, Molson Dry...
Whiskey = Adams 12, Crown Royal for rye...
Whiskey = Ballantine's 18 or 21 or Haig Pinch for blended and too many to list for single malts...
Wine = With a meal either Red or White, California, Mosel, Australia, S. Africa and Canada for regions...
and to a much lesser degree
Rum = Jamaican Appleton 18 yr old
Vodka = Finnish or Russian
Cognac = Remy Martin VSOP 21
By-the-by, I really dislike champagne!

Right now? Yukon Jack (100 proof) and Creme Soda. About a 1/3 mixture.
