Prompted by the downing drinks page i just started to wonder what all your favourite drinks are

 

Has to be in this order

1 Guinness Extra Cold
2 Guinness
3 Good bottle of red wine
4 Worthingtons
5 Shed loads of champagne

 

As Al Murray says: a pint for the gentleman and a medium-sweet white wine or fruit-based cocktail for the lady

Beer:

bottle of Becks (hot day)
Black Sheep bitter (cold day)

Spirits:

Rock Hill Farm, AAA or Old Forester bourbon with a threat of water (evenings in)
Jack Daniels & dry ginger (evenings out)
Whisky Mac (winter evenings)

Wine:

Tesco Chilean White with a chinese meal (£2.79, can't whack it)

Black russian with Guinness top (aka a 'chocolate ice-cream float which gets you very p*ssed, very quickly ).

 

Carlsberg Special Brew or Tennents Extra. And i don't live under a cardboard box, i just can't stand weak beers!
Although in a pub i normally go for a pint of London Pride.
K cider is also good, especially in summer.
And if it's wine, a Cabernet Sauvignon, from South Africa or Australia preferably.

 

Try a bottle of Youngs Acclaim from Tesco's, some Safeways or online at http://www.youngs.co.uk/ (Top site BTW)

Wonderfully refreshing - great summer BBQ beer

 

Just got 48 bottles of wine from Laithwaites for £65 by using barclaycard points, not used em for ages.

Cant go wrong at that price, ie if its alright you get drunk, if its not the wife can use it to cook with or trap slugs in the garden. Its less than £1.50 a bottle.

 

good deal that or you could always take it to peoples houses when you go for a meal or lots of birthday presents there

 

suppose i could give the crap stuff(couple of bottles of each) to relatives not to keen on.

Naah bugger it id rather try and drink it myself.

 

well it gets ya p1ssed so thats all that matters

 

Carlsberg
Hennessy XO
Moët Chandon
Pinot Grigio



Dr Pepper

 

Miller GD !

and when drunk enough Vodka, blue bols, blackcurrant and lemonade ! very tasty !

WARNING ! drinking a whole pitcher of this may turn your crap GREEN!!?? :O

 

In order of preference..

Double Jack Daniels & Coke.
Jack Daniels & Coke.
Tetleys Smoothflow or Stella depends on the pub and quality of pint
Worthingtons
Caffreys
Anything else..

 

what a surprise no one has said carling or fosters yet

 

My nearest local stoped selling Caffreys and the quality of the Bass and Worthington isn't very good IMO. It doesn't leave any traces on the side of the glass.

Hence moving to the next pub up the road which does a good pint of Caffreys

 

nah poor them on the food on the bbq sometimes to stop it flaming

 

i have seen it in yates b4 where they have had every beer running of the same barrel it was fosters as well lol and no one noticed hehe race days you can get away with anything

Carling!!! - quality session beer with FLAVOUR, unlike Fosters/Carlsberg (IMHO)
Breaker Superbrew
Draught Bass
Tennents Gold Bier
Now defunct(?)Marston's Owd Rodger
Red wine
Islay whiskies (excluding Bowmore & Caol Ila)

Ratman
MY98 (on the) Wagon

 

A man after my own heart

 

Theakstons Old Peculier...

 

Carling Premier - lovely stuff. Unfortunately most pubs only have the gnat's pi$$ variety. If I can't get that, it's Becks or Grolsch.

Any decent whiskey.

Den

 

Has to be Jack Daniels, diet coke in a tall glass with ice!! Then every drink thereafter reduce the DC. Wetherspoons is a good place to drink JD as it's only another 20p for an extra shot - well you just have too don't you. Hitting Grimsby on Friday night with the girlies so Saturday will be a bit rough!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Do they still brew Carling Premier now "Carling" no longer sponsor the Premiership?

Ratman
MY98 Wagon
note to self: must get rid of that case of Asahi that's been in the boot for a week now.

 

Carling or Fosters :P

however usually:

Carling Premier (agree this stuff is superb)
Carlsber Export
Grolsch
Bud Ice
MGD
Michelob
Cobra
Tsing Tsao
Kingfisher

(don't like my lagers eh )

Also:

Smirnoff Ice (i can't believe how many I can drink and how easy they are to drink)
Southern Comfort
Stolly

Wine:

New world Sauvignon Blanc's (these are fab, consistantly good and fruity) eg Villa Maria, Rosemont Estate, Oxford Landing etc
Chablis (& premier cru )
Sancerre

don't like red - yuk

 

Stella Artois
Tiger beer
Champagne

PG Tips, a nice cuppa

 

Ratman, Carling Premier is a nicer version of Carling, nothing to do with the Premiership. It's less gassy than regular Carling - a lot smoother, almost creamy.

Top stuff, try it, I doubt you'll be disappointed.

Den

 

Aaaahh, lower CO2 content, more N2. (Nitrogen forms smaller bubbles than Carbon Dioxide, hence smoother lager with creamier head.) ABV of 4.7% helps probably as well!

When I hear Carling Premier, why do I think of California Dreaming, 6 Underground and Cars???

Ratman,
MY98 Wagon

 

well i suppose mine are
stella
Dennis the menace
Smirnoff ice & mule
absinthe
pernod
becks

and what ever else is put in my hand

 

Yeah, won't touch Carling but Carling Premier is a nice pint.

Usually fall back on Smirnoff Ice when I'm full on pints

 

Ferne, Buzz is allowing you out then? Is he left holding the baby so to speak.

By the way many happy returns for the other day, buzz did invite me but we were going to Liverpool for the weekend.

Drank way too much red wine, my missus rang me and told me off for having 2 pints of guinness in pub with David Wallis on Monday. "You had alot to drink on saturday you know, go steady driving".

good advice but she did not apply this on sunday when we drove back, especially as i had stayed up an extra 2 hours drinking compared with her.
