Alcohol of Choice

Ooh. I never had Russian Standard vodka before, but interesting!
You're not too far from me in Grand Rapids then.
I prefer stouts and dark lagers. I enjoyed Founders Oatmeal Stout and of course KBS which is pretty hard to get a hold of considering they charge $20/4-pack and they sell out the same day they release it. If you don't know about KBS then I suggest you search for Kentucky Breakfast* Stout. It is strong, delicious, and rare but they release it to a few places in Michigan every spring.
Perrin Black Lager is another great one in the Grand Rapids area but we have a lot of breweries in GR.
Other than that, a good Sam Adams or Guinness.

Oh wow! Fellow Coloradoan! Haha yeah I'm no longer in CO anymore unfortunately, but there's a few other Coloradoans on the forum as well! @KuJoe I believe moved to Denver a few months ago!
Those are some great beer choices by the way! I haven't been able to get any local Colorado beers since being in PA. You could get Fat Tire in Virginia, Texas, and Michigan, but none in Pennsylvania...
Fat Tire is everywhere. My local Walmart here in Indiana sells it. It's good
Because i'm Scottish ?

I'd ask you to send me some but I'm going to be in NYC in a few weeks and I'll be able to get some Fat Tire there!
Whoops. You actually just cleared that up for me. I'm from Michigan and had thought that New Belgium brewed near me but apparently it is just a distribution center in West Michigan. Colorado and Michigan both have a lot of brews

Oh! Haha I thought you lived in Colorado! Haha yeah New Belgium has one of their distribution centers there and it's just great. I went to a bar in Austin, TX that had a large selection of beers all around the US. I saw a few from my hometown in Colorado and also a ton of breweries in Michigan! I just love the beer culture!Whoops. You actually just cleared that up for me.

Yeah, I guess it is hard to keep track of them all at times. We have about 30 breweries just in Grand Rapids here and then about 20 more in West Michigan alone.
New Belgium is good though, I guess that would explain why I never had it up until ~2 years ago as they are based in Colorado.
P.S. We do have a New Holland Brewery in West Michigan. Probably one of the reasons I was confused. Battle of the Dutch.

I stopped drinking about three years ago, but before that..well..then I liked to have some Captain Morgan, the black spiced kind!. Beer? Well, uh, don't call me a homo now, but in the summer I would down a lot of Frülis, but also Grolsch, and an array of other beers: usually the exquisite, and unfortunately very expensive kind! Now that I think about the cost of all that it boggles the mind...imagine how many servers I could have bought back then instead of just getting myself drunk :lol:
Now I cannot even touch a beer or any other liquor without feeling disgust
...but two weeks ago, I did buy this for a friend:
I thought it was kind of funny

Willie Smith's Organic Apple Cider has been my favourite for about a year now. Still like the occasional IPA as well.

For beer, I only have a a couple of rules -- as longs as it's not Bud or Coors or any of their spin-offs, I will happily drink it. I do prefer the local brews, as they are usually strong and have a pretty nice taste, freshness(bottom of my last 6 pack was less than 2 weeks old).
Otherwise, Ill probably be sipping Vodka or Tequila, as both have a nice "kick in the pants" appeal to them.

The last time I had a drink was over a year ago at the WHIR event here in Denver with the owners of Handy Networks (negotiating cabinet prices when one of the data center owners has had more drinks than you is fun) and @ (I learned what a Moscow Mule was that night) but when I do have a drink I like Long Islands or if there's a designated driver I grab the 151.
I've never had a beer that I liked (same goes for wine/champagne) so I've been told I'm missing out on the Colorado experience.

(sorry a bit random)
Myself, I tend to like Long Islands, rum & coke, and 7 & 7. Beer, I'm not a fan of, but I'll drink PBR and Labyatt Blue.
I love a good homemade honey mead 15lb of honey 7 gallon bucket w/lid fill it with water to about 5.5 to 6 gal mark and add your yeast of choice and let it brew for 1 to 2 months in primary with another in secondary stage and you will have a nice 17% alcohol content let it age for 6 months to a year and that is my drink of choice. When I'm out I like to try new beers and cider, IPA, double IPAS can't live life without trying something new once in a while.

Rum with coke, and Salmari are my favourite ones. Not much of a beer drinker, prefer long drinks instead.

Lately I've been enjoying cider, I never used to like it but it's really grown on me. Rum and Coke, vodka and Coke, and vodka and orange juice are delicious and good for any situation.
I do like sweetness though, so in summer a glass of Midori and lemonade is great to cool down and relax with, and in winter Malibu and milk (it's quite heavy because of the milk, so not really a drink for warmer weather or after a big meal). I've gotten a couple of amusing reactions to ordering these (for some reason, people don't expect a tall hairy bloke to drink girly drinks, who would've thought?)
To further complete the image of me having the alcohol tastes of a 16 year old, Smirnoff Ice Double Black (a citrus-flavoured vodka premix with a higher alcohol content) was my favourite drink for years and I still enjoy one occasionally.
