Favorite liquors, brands, how you like to drink them, cigar?, etc. And most importantly, you're on death row and they allow you a final drink. What is it?

Vodka is about the only liquor I've drank over the past 4 months, trying to acquire a taste for it. For me, grey goose out of the freezer in a glass about half full of ice cubes with a 3:1 ratio of cranberry juice to vodka.


Now I'm switching to bourbon for a while, just picked up a bottle of Buffalo Trace and a bottle of Bulleit tonight. Plan to drink it at room temperature in a glass with a little water mixed in.

That one is easy. John Daniels.

That's a chick drink

It all depends on what I'm doing.

Want to get fired up and will be drinking all night: Captain and Coke. Throw a lime in it if you want it Ten's style

Relaxing with a few drinks: Any good ale or dark wheat beer.

Going on a hunting trip or some other kind that will require a few days of consecutive drinking: Any light beer.

Death Row, meaning no hangerover and boatloads of fun: Tequila shots and 7 and 7.

For a night of drinking, 3-4 gin and tonics to mellow, then beer to keep it going.

Beer....if Auggie brews it, I'll drink it. Mostly Bud, Bud light, Mich Light and Ultra.

Nice timing.

You stole my thunder (kinda). I was going to post a "Who drinks wine" thread. Seven years ago I couldn't stand wine and would have ignored a post about it. Now, I drink a glass or two a night and am always looking for value buys that others vouch for. I'll still post that later, so I'll leave wine out of my response.

As far as liquor, I am still a Wild Turkey 101 guy, but there isn't much I won't drink. Anything that you can mix with Coke is my preference, which rules out vodka.

Beer is my favorite, though. I drink just about anything you can't see through. Our laws just changed in SC and we now get high gravity beer, so I've been sampling all of those. My current favorite is Young's Double Chocolate Stout . . . ymmmmm.

I switched from drinking primarily beer to drinking primarily wine following my semester in Italy a couple years ago. I've only recently leaned away from wine and towards liquor. As far as wine goes, dry reds for me, like Chianti, and the cheaper the better.

ps- I'm not vouching for dry reds and wouldn't recommend, it's definetly an acquired taste that most people do not like

My favorite Italian red is the Amarone varietal. The problem is that they typically start at $30 a bottle. Sartori is good; Bolla is better, but you should give them a try.

I'll post more later on wine.

Living in St. Louis, only about an hour away from the wine country here in Missouri, I have started drinking a little more wine. I am still learning what I like and don't like, but it is fun to spend a day at one of the wineries, seeing what is good and what isn't.

If anyone ever makes it up here, I do recommend stopping in at one of the wineries, as almost all of them are winning awards every year for their wines. Most are of the classic French style wines.

Just a quick history note. In the early 1800's a fungus almost destroyed the grape crops in France. The grapes grown here in Missouri was found to be very close to the taste of the grapes in France, and was close to being immune to the fungus. France's grape fields were replenished with Missouri grapes.

Don't really know if that means anything, but France is known as one of the best wine making countries in the world, so you have to figure the wines here are pretty decent too.

The wines I really like are the ports. I can sit down with a box of chocolate covered strawberries and and bottle of port and pretty much be a happy man.

I still prefer Jack Daniels and a shot glass above anything else. A pint of Guinness would be a close second.

I can honestly say that I didn't know Missouri had a wine country or that it produced wine at all. Interesting. I'll give them a try if I stumble upon any.

Our "wine country" is really beautiful country. Rolling hills with big areas of woods and open areas, with nice streams. If you're looking at a map, probably starts just north of Rolla on I-44 and runs north to the Missouri River. If you think of a rough oval with Rolla at the bottom end of the oval that goes up to the MO river and tilts a little bit to the east, that would be the area. Hermann would probably be the best spot to visit. Right on the MO river and there are numerous bed and breakfasts in the area. For the most part, it's not too commercialized.

Stone Hill is probably the most commercialized wine from MO. Or that's my guess. Glass, as a wine drinker, might be more up to date on distribution or other wineries' lables.

Stone Hill is probably the most known. There are countless smaller ones in the Hermann area though. A second, smaller area that has really been producing good wine is down in the Antonio area, a little bit closer to St. Louis, but still right on the Missouri River.

Much like Sportz, my drink depends on what I'm doing and mood.

If I'm in Vegas and gambling it's Crown or Vodka/Soda w/ a shot at least every 30-60 minutes.

If I'm watching sports, it's Guiness Stout, Young's Double Chocolate Stout, St. Arnold's or any dark beer. The darker the better, I like it looking like motor oil!!!!

Wines - I love reds, but due to issue have been forced back to whites and really the only white I like is Pinot Grigio - Santa Margherita or Favola is preferred.

Last but not least, give me Patron Anejo - straight or in a Rita on the Rocks!
