love stowford cider. JUMMY

I LOVE red wine, i'm a wino. I love a wine called Campo Castillo, we got it at work and even thought i can drink all other expensive wines i'm sticking with my Castillo, it's delicious!
I also like to spice it up with a glass of white now and then.

My favourite drink is Mojito great stuff

I hate swedish ciders though, and stuff like x-cider and shit like that .it's awful!

Kopparberg Pear,
JUCKY! i really hate kopparberg
maybe mostly because that is what all the kids drink in sweden, as we got monopoly on the alcohol they are only allowed to sell like 2.something% in normal shops and you have to go to "systembolaget" to buy alcohol which is not open all the time (and you need to be 20). Anyway and these 2.something% kopparberg can be bought by 18olds in the normal stores so all the kids get mates to buy these kopparbergs and try to get drunk and that and is really stupid. and on top of it, it tastes like shit :p

Im sorry im rambeling i've been up for 24 or so because i've been working and im i'll and coughing like mad and can't sleep-

Even though I'm under-age, I do like a good JD and Coke, and rose or white wine. I hate any form of beer or lager. For example I had some of my Dad's Guinness before seeing Elbow in Bournemouth and it was rank (no offense to lovers of the black stuff!) I felt a little ill.

Gonna seem like I am a real boozer , but I genuinely enjoy a drink (mostly in moderation but the occasional session)

I am a real ale person and enjoy a good pint in a traditional British pub . I also enjoy visiting the odd beer festival where you are spoilt for choice !! Favourite ale is Fuller's London Pride and ESB. The Bees Knees.
Also nice to have a Winter Warmer ale in front of a pubs log fire during the cold winter months.

During the summer however there is nothing better than a chilled lager (preferably 1664 or other quality brand) sitting in the garden on the odd day the weather is pleasant !

Sometimes I will enjoy a refreshing dry Cider as a change.

If we are having a special dinner at home , like a Roast , then I usually open a good bottle of red wine. My favourite is Rioja (after falling in love with it during a business trip to Northern Spain) but I have a fairly eclectic taste as long as it's good .

Not really into spirits but very occasionally will have a single malt Scotch whisky like a Talisker .

Now I must stop to have a tipple. All this talk of drink has made me rather thirsty !!! Give me Beer

I'm not a huge drinker, I'm going to have to quote the comedian Jon Richardson here as to why I occasionally do...

Because alcohol says to me "You know that thing you were worrying about?




....Not anymore!"

As a 16 year-old, i rarely consider the taste of alcohol, usually it's vodka down the hatch, and that's that Razz but if i'm drinking just to relax, then i really enjoy a nice cider Smile bulmer's preferrably. Lately, i've taken a liking to budweiser and miller Razz just because they're sweet, and that's how i like them Razz

When I go out I like a nice vodka and fresh orange, if I'm at home I like red wine Borollo's a good one (dont know if thats spelt correctly). Dont drink that often though, I always seem to end up driving.
Cheers Beer

Living in Florida, there's a lot of tropical treats at the clubs and bars...I'm partial to a Key West beverage called the Rum Runner, and also Key Lime martinis...yummy! But when it's hot outside, like it has been lately, you could hand me pretty much anything in a frosty glass with a paper umbrella sticking out of it, and I'd be happy as a clam. Mine's a pint!

Living in Bury/Whitefield area it has to be Joseph Holts bitter, also Thwaites is a great pint if you're on the booze all day........if I'm staying at home it has to be wine, if it's white, then Pinot Grigio, if it's red, Chianti or Rioja.

There seems a few real ale fans on here, if you're in the Manchester area, you have to try Marble Arch on Rochdale Rd next to where I work in Ancoats, it's a mecca for those in love with that type of liquid lubricant.

Thanks for the tip.

Not knowing Manchester that well...is the pub anywhere near to the Bridgewater Hall ?
Might try to pop along for a tipple before the concert in July !!

I'm a Vodka girl.
Smirnoff Ice is good, but usually it's Vodka and Diet 7UP.

The 'Diet' part is very important: zero calories to offset the 856,986.750 calories in the Vodka!
lol!
