Just a bit of fun - what's your favourite drink? The weekend's nearly here and it's often the time when one's thoughts turn to putting one's feet up with a glass (or 3) of one's favourite tipple?

Where's Guinness?
Regular tipples depending on venue (in no particular order); red wine, guinness, lager, bitter, vodka. Occasionally drink white wine or G'n'T dahling... oh and of course champagne

Unfortunately my taste for this exceeds my income by a considerable margin so I'll make do with Pol Remy
I can't touch whiskey, brandy rum etc - the smell of them makes me want to hurl so there's no chance I could drink them.
If I had to choose just one though I think it'd have to be Guinness.

OK Adam, I've edited the poll choices
Silly of me really - I always drink Guinness in London as the bitter's so shite. We've large Irish population in Uxbridge so the Guinness ound these parts is very good indeed.

Richard - Bugger, I voted jizer in protest
Mick - Blacksheep in your absence it is then. I'm sure there'll be a September jaunt as well.

Richard ,
as you know I work for Coors Brewers (Formerly Bass) so I am a bit choosey with beer. It has to be browney colour & wet. There is no bad beer,just some better than others.

Has to be real ale or guinness followed by wine (don't care which colour) then sprits (nice G&T) as a freshener in one sitting of course. Only drink Larger if there is nothing else or on le continent.
Never touch a drop while out on the bike though.

How can one vote with those options? It only allows one choice!
Richard, could you add 'not' to the question, plleeeaasssee???
Depending on the day - Guiness, real ale, bitter, red/white wine, neat Tenessee/Kentucky whisky (the good stuff).
Have to side with Adam about scotch, though. I really can't abide it myself. Scrumpy has a similar effect but that's through over indulgence in Old Rosie followed by a rather unpleasant train ride from Bristol to Paddington. Now, I only have to smell it... urgh!

Reg,
Do Coors (Bass) still brew 'Breaker'? It was an excellent American style beer, similar to 'schlitz'.
Sad to say, I enjoy all of the above. Only exception would be 'Tia Maria' and exotic holiday liquours that don't quite taste the same when you get home.
I once made the aquaintance of a gentleman who espoused the vertues of hair laquer, meths and milk. I was unable to gleen any further information as he was engaged, huggng the tarmac like an 010!
