My drink of choice is a gin and tonic - preferably with Bombay Sapphire or Tanqueray - but if I'm in a pinch - I'll drink it with anything

I'm in a beer phase right now, which is probably better than my drink to the point of intoxication every night hard liquor phase. Viva La Old Style.

I drink martinis at home- lemon drop, cosmos, apple- or vodka cranberrys or Jim & Coke. If I'm out, I drink beer or vodka gimlets. I cannot make myself a good gimlet for the life of me.

Totally depends on my mood...

Sitting on a patio on a hot summer day, a nice cold beer (Keith's or Corona) or a frozen Margarita (mmm... any flavour: raspberry, mango, strawberry)...

White wine... a good dry Riesling, perfectly chilled.

In the winter, sitting in front of the fire: Red wine - Masi Campoforin. Like red velvet going down.

Love that vanilla vodka - mix it with orange juice and you have your very own little alcoholic creamsicle.

These days.... poverty beer. Buck-a-beer. $24 for a case of 24 for me and my locked-out/labour dispute friends. No income, but we can still have some cheap fun.

Wine, wine and more wine! I looooove Chardonnay, but drink reds on occasion, too. My favorites are Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Otherwise, it's gin and tonic and margaritas, rarely. 99.9% of the time it's wine for me. Unfortunately it's very expensive to drink wine out. But I love it anyway.

No, you're a drunk, alcoholics go to meetings.

Last nite I went to Cuchi Cuchi and they make amazing martinis. I had a Dancing with Ginger and a Sugar Daddy from Miami. Also a strawberry basil martini. Yum. The first one had ginger and I forget what else but was delicious. The second had Maker's Mark, Grand Marnier, some orange juice and some other booze. That one was fabulous too.

Depends on my mood...I drink about .000005% of what I used to...but I still indulge on the rare occasion...like when the sun goes down (hey, there's a song in there somewhere).

On the rocks/highballs:
Vodka/Cranberry Juice (aka "Cape Cod")
Rum/Coke ("Cuba Libre")
Malibu/Pineapple Juice
Vodka/Pink Lemonade (w/a splash of apricot schnapps to cut the bite of the lemonade)
Cadillac Margaritas
Vodka Gimlets (shaken, not stirred)
Sour Apple Martini
Gin & Tonic
Vodka Tonic
Vodka/Kailua ("Black Russian")
Vodka/Midori ("Melon Ball")
Tequila/Kailua ("Brave Bull")
Tequila/OJ
Vodka/OJ ("Screwdriver")
Mai Tai (ok, my masculinity is not threatened by the liking of tropical drinks that are served with little umbrellas! )
Sambuca (served in a snifter with three...and only three...coffee beans)
AMF ("adios, motherf...", well, you know the rest...served exclusively at the Studio Cafe in Newport Beach, CA...on the rocks...made with about 8 different alcohols...blue curacao being what gives the blue color...tastes like lemonade...the bar won't serve the same person more than two.)

(no bourbon or whiskey...they make me a "mean drunk" ...usually, I'm a "happy drunk" )

Shots:
Jaegermeister
Tequila
Butterscotch Schnapps/Bailey's
Goldschlager
B-52's (Bailey's/Kailua/Grand Marnier...ever so carefully poured, so you can see each layer of liqueur)
Ouzo (or Metaxa)

Blended:
Pina Coladas
Margaritas
Strawberry Daquiris

Wine:
Charles Shaw Merlot
Charles Shaw Cabernet Savignon (aka "Two-Buck Chuck"...since Trader Joe's sells these for $1.99 a bottle...but, it tastes like a $12 bottle of cab-sav)
Beringer White Zinfandel
Blue Nun (in honor of Christine McVie!)

Beer:
Newcastle
MGD
Pabst Blue Ribbon (ONLY in a schooner, ONLY from the tap at Joe Jost's bar in Long Beach...founded in 1924)
Moosehead
Beck's Dark
St. Pauli Girl Dark
Molson Canadian
Labatt's Blue
(and the occasional) Guinness Stout
Michelob DARK

And...yeah, I DO like Zima, what of it?


But, mostly, I'm hooked on those Lo-Carb Monster (the blue lettering) energy drinks...especially since I've SERIOUSLY cut back on my Diet Coke intake, as well (I have about 4 cans a WEEK; used to be a 12-pk a DAY!)

And...gimme water...cool, clear water...as long as it is Crystal Geyser.

I drink alot of water and diet coke.

I also like coffee and tea in the morning to get me started,

In terms of alcohol, I like margaritas and corona in the summer.

In the winter, I love me some good red wine.

Milk. Pure whole milk. None of that sissy 2% crap. And when I am on a binge - straight from the jug. I can even tell brands apart, and once noticed a difference on my usually brand, and found out they used a different vendor for the plastic in the jug. My name is seeker , and I am a ....Milkaholic.
