Continuing the new trend of random off-topic discussions (which I love by the way), pick your poison: beer, wine, or liquor? Specific favorites?

Went to school in the Pacific Northwes, so I am a big time beer snob
Anything by Rogue, Deschutes, or Widmer. I also love me some scotch.

Not a huge beer fan. If I'm gonna drink a beer I'll pick Yuengling or Rolling Rock. It's just not my thing.
Love wine. Prefer white. Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon Blanc, and Riesling are my typical favorites.
Liquor: if I'm mixing, rum and coke. If not mixing, scotch.

What's your scotch of choice Tucker? I'm kind of new to scotch - I've always hated bourbon, still do, so I assumed I disliked all whisky, but recently discovered I like scotch a lot. Ballantine's probably my favorite so far but also like Glenlivet.

ALL!
Any beer - have a friend that home brews and it is as good if not better than a lot out there. Love Stella. Blue Moon, Serria, Sam Adams holiday package out now has some tasty beers.
Wines - Wife has me drinking reds. Lots of zins.
Hard Stuff - Love Crown. Jaeger bombs tend to find their way inside my system as well.

Beer: Sam Adams Boston Lager, Narragansett (on tap), or Corona
Drink: Beefeater and tonic or an Old fashion (Jim Beam) note: brief flirtation with tequila back in the day ended badly

I can't even smell it. Yeah, I know that smell; never got into wine but an old friend made up an excellent sangria for house parties in the summer--threw in a little brandy for an extra taste.... |

Honestly i think everyone has had at least one of those nights with Tequila. I can't even smell it now without gagging after my 21st birthday. Way way way too much terrible tequila.

A woman at a bar in Florida bought me a shot of white tequila. Not sure what the difference is, but it put me over and I won't drink tequila again. I don't think I thanked her for the shot either. It was that kind of night.
Other than that, I went on a five year binge of White Russians after watching the big lebowski for the first time. That movie is in my top 5, which is another topic all together.
Beer: can't go wrong with Stella.

Beer- any Sam Adams, Great Lakes specially Christmas Ale. Thirsty Dog. Other then Sam, all local to Cleveland. Just ordered a 65% alcohol content beer from Scotland. Cost 110 bucks. I'm a beer snob
Liquor- Jack or Vodka Tonic.
Mainly I'll stick to beer. I'm always down for some good regional beers that ship, any suggestions?

Beer: I love IPA's my favorite right now is Steelhead IPA from mad river brewing company up here in Northern California.
Wine: just recently started to develop a pallet for it but enjoy Malbec's as well as Sangiovese
Alcohols: I've had a recent obsession with bloody marry's in the day for some reason. Other then that usually don't drink much except the occasional cheap shot with friends at the bar. Really like beer more
Worse alcohol I've ever had: EVERCLEAR! 95% alcohol......

You guys are all missing out with tequila - easily my favorite liquor. Even bad tequila shots I can put away neat.
Beer is definitely my preference though - I've got a soft spot for Yuengling since I went to school outside Philly, and any wheat beer I tend to thoroughly enjoy

Beer - Not a huge beer guy, prefer red's and dark's. Rckards Red has been a staple when I do go out.
Liquor - Crown Royal for casual nights. Glenfiddich, Ballentine. Neat.
Wine - Probably the one I have the most. Red's only. Australian Shiraz's are my preference. Hardy's is a favorite.

Guilty pleasure - coconut rum. I love coconut anything, but I realize coconut rum is pretty pathetic. That said, I kind of love it - either on the rocks or with coke. Cruzan is the best.
