Very dry (i.e., no vermouth) gin martini before dinner. Usually Gordon's, but go with Beefeaters when feeling celebratory.
Usually a nice, cheap Merlot with dinner.
Bourbon whiskey after dinner, Jim Beam or Henry McKenna, whichever is on sale.
Also the occasional Bushmill's.
Some times will substitute pertsovska for the martini.
Favorite beer: Newcastle Brown Ale.

Beer: Yuengling with oh.....anything? Sam Adams seasonal brings some nice flavors as well, with the Spring Ale being my favorite.
As for other drinks, I'll mix my own, thankee very much. It's far cheaper to drink at home, but when I do, it's basically just SoCo and lime. Every once in awhile I'll get adventurous and try something in one of my bar books, but I usually just come back to my usual.

Re: Libations
Beer: Really depends on time of the year. Mostly Leinie's or New Glarous' Spotted Cow but I'm always up for trying a new micro or import.
Wine: Tend to favor the white wines especially Rieslings though again I'm always up for trying something new. Nothing is better then my Uncle's home made Dandelion Wine (guarantied to knock you on your arse.)
When it comes to mixed drinks I like the Whiskey or Rum mixed with coke (Jack and Caption respectively)
When it comes to drinking shots or straight liqueur I only can do the nicer stuff now like Patron and nice clean Vodkas. It seems my ability to drink sh*t alcohol went out the window as soon as I graduated college.

Bailey's on ice or with coffee. Schnapps with coffee. Vodka Tonic. Woodford Reserve Bourbon. Guiness, Harp, Bass. Yep, that pretty much covers it.

Re: Libations
Huh, I haven't responded to this one yet. So far as beers go, Abita, Anchor Steam, , Eel River, Guinness, & Spaten are my current favorites. For hard booze, it varies. Rum, I tend to go pretty mainstream with Meyer's and Old New Orleans for regular drinking or mixing with Coke, and Bacardi 151 for the light rum when I make Hurricanes. (I was declared a threat to public sobriety at LibertyCon 20... 
) For vodka, I discovered Tito's when I was in Austin for the Gun Thing shoot. Scotch, I'm currently fond of Laphroaig's Quarter Cask. My current gin of choice is Hendrick's. Maker's Mark for bourbon. I should pick up a bottle of Sazerac Rye for completeness sake. So far, I've enjoyed every mead I've gotten ahold of. Only normal wine I've been able to develop a taste for thus far is Tokaj Aszu, which is a bit spendy for my budget. ($40 for a half liter last I checked...
