I have about 300 bottles at home currently. I have an alcohol problem, but its not drinking, its buying.
The collection focus is on whiskeys, and that tends to be what I drink when I have one.
However, I think in general the best flavor to me is Cognac, I love Louis XIII, Pierre Ferrand Ancestral, Maison Surrenne Tonneau #1. There is also a fantastic tequila called Herradura Selection Suprema.

Why? Because I like the taste and the history around distillation.

Just hanging out having beers with friends - Bud Light Lime or Redds.

I had a crap day and need to get sh*twrecked - straight vodka (perogies on the side).

Out at a bar/club - GIRLY DRINKS. That ***is just too yummy to pass up when I don't have to make it myself.

rum and mead~

Mead is amazing if you like it you should try Barleywine. Sierra Nevada and Anchor Brewing make good ones.

And Dogfish Head.

I think my worst hangover involved a night of pounding Bud Light Cran-brr-rita's.

You can buy a twelve pack of PBR for $8 around here. Often quantity > quality.

If you can get someone to drink a cider beer the next step to regular beer is easy.

Nope but I understand where you are coming from cause I used to hate the taste also.

I actually hated Scotch too but you acquire tastes for beer or Scotch or whatever. You can't drink alcohol one time and say "I'm done never drinking x again !" Keep on drinking damn it !

My favorite wine is Soft Huckleberry from Ste. Chapelle. They also make a Soft Red that's very good. I don't like being drunk or even tipsy, but I like the feeling of relaxation I get when I have a glass of wine after dinner. And I honestly like the taste of those two.

If it's horribly hot as Satan's own privates outside, then occasionally I'll drink a cider or an ale. Angry Orchard's Iceman is good, or Redd's Apple or Strawberry ales. Johnny Appleseed also has a nice apple cider. After one bottle you won't even notice that there's alcohol in your system, but they taste crisp and refreshing. If any of you have a Yard House restaurant nearby, give their Pear Cider or Raspberry Cider a try. It's the same type of deal, you won't get tipsy or even notice the alcohol, but they taste yummy.

If it's nice and chilly out, then I like mulled wine or mead. Warm, spicy, and yummy! It'll get you all warm, relaxed, and cozy just before bed, and you'll love winter even more than you already do. Mmmm!

BACARDI 151.

Never again.

Not even Everclear messed me up THAT bad.

Jet I know you said no Tequila, but jfmi, have you ever had Cabo Wabo reposado? I parted ways with Tequila many years ago but Cabo made me reconcile.

Favorite beer...

Go-to for Cab-Sav, which I've found the hangovers are increasingly debilitating...

Malbec is a better alternative in light of the risk/reward ratio with Cab-Sav and it's a smidge sweeter...

Mexican martinis for a mixed drink. I like the tartness and the saltiness the olives provide over salt-rimmed margaritas.

A restaurant nearby used to sell PBR cans for $5. People bought it sometimes, *** if I know why. Regardless, my opinion on PBR has generally been that if it's all you can afford, you probably shouldn't be spending money on alcohol in the first place.

Whiskey's my go-to, usually some variety of Irish. Scotch if I'm splurging, which is rare. I don't drink very often to begin with. Vodka's alright at times, and I'm not averse to a margarita or certain other mixed drinks in the appropriate setting.

Never saw the point in acquiring a taste for particular varieties of alcohol. Find something you like and enjoy it, there's something for everyone.

I am not too picky about beer.... except ONE, Coors, my god the most god awful tasting piece of filth crap to even ever call itself beer in the first place, anyone drinking that needs a 40ft wooden stake up their *** sideways for drinking such piss in the first place. /endrant

Mix drink wise Bloody Marys are my go to drink mostly, extra olives extra worcestershire give it that right amount of kick.

I don't drink often, but when I do it's on my birthday.Tequila until I hit the floor. Dill pickle juice chasers I just found out about a couple years ago. If you gotta drink the cheap stuff at some seedy bar.

I don't drink much anymore, but I drive out to The Rohan Meadery in La Grange, Texas a couple times a year. As a warning, they'll only let you ask a-how-how-how something's made twice before they politely ask you to leave.

i've seen some mentions of bombay sapphire, and hendricks. i go the same but i split them between gin and tonic and martini's respectively. most scotches, single malt plz, and a couple of bourbons.

I drink Reyka vodka, Gosling Black Rum, Laphroiag is my preferred scotch. Knob Creek tends to be the go to bourbon of choice for whiskey cokes. When it comes to beer, I love to try them all. Kentucky Bourbon Ale is probably my favorite of the moment. Had two the other night while out with friends and was pleasantly surprised.

Not one for wine, I can't spot a 5 dollar bleh bleh from a 500 dollar bleh de bleh.
