Its illigal here (as far as i know), and is hard to come by.

An Irish pub near my house has it, and I tried it once.

Pure rot gut.

Ive also tried absinthe, didnt care for it.

Had some Kentucky Lightning in the Army, it made my eyes water even though I was a big Jack Daniels fish at the time.

To tell the truth, I dont drink hard liquor anymore, just beer and wine, and not often.

I work at a fancy French restaurant, and have been fortunate to sample some of the best wines in the world.

I like Belgian and German beers the best.

 

[Jeratain]

I don't drink alcohol, never have never will.

A few favorite drinks of mine:

Red Bull - I love it.

Earl Grey Teat - I love it.

Water - I love it.

A special cherry drink, dunno the name, only know how to make it (Natural sour cherry syrup mixed with water) - I love it.

Mango A Go Go (Jamba Juice) - I love it.

Mango Raspberry swirl (Elephant Bar) - I love it.

Strawberry Margarita (Virgin) - I like it.

Beers
Rooster Yankee
Rooster Hooligan
Coniston Bluebird

Nothing else in the world approaches them. All made by tiny breweries in the Uk. All are subtle and complex.

Wine
I'm a sucker for Sauternes. I would like to drink a bottle of Chateau D'Yquem before I die.

Just put me down for a few shots of Southen Comfort....then pick me up in the morning - and a long cool gin 'n' tonic now and again and again and ....

For Speed and races
Bud, Miller, Coors Light - they are all pretty much water and can be slammed down fast and won't get you drunk.

Sebor Absinth is in a class all by itself. I love the Green Fairy.

[Mojotronica]

Spirits: Gin and tonic, especially w/ good gin -- like Bombay-Sapphire.

Tequila -- very fond of Don Julio.

Absinthe is weird stuff. Can't say I much like the taste, but ONE shot I was quite drunk for hours...

Beer: Corona.

Wine: Shiraz (or syrah) Chianti or a Red Zinfandel. Red is tastier than white.

 

[cromagnon]

Ah, I'll add my hard liquor favorite to my list, inspired by Mojo.

I'm a Tanqueray and Tonic fan myself as well.
Tequila is an evil drink, but there's nothing like sitting outside with a margarita on a sunny day.

I'm a bit surprised that very few of the Brits list continental beers, especially since Czech, Belgian, German, and Dutch beers are generally considered superior (not my words, don't flame me!).
