Cider for me I have always preferred it over the rest although i will drink them all, Lager is second but only the bottled stuff like corona, san miguel, peroni ect. My favorite drink is probably desperados but i never find them anywhere in this country.

Has to be wine!

But I do agree Cider can be very refreshing on these summer evenings.

Cider, nowt better than sipping a glass of magners in the height of summer, sat outside watching the world pass you by.

nor is there much better than having a thatchers in Ye Olde Man And Scythe, trying to decipher the notes on the wall and watch the staff punish people who light up by spraying them with a super-soaker.

Considering the average age of this board is about 327 I'm surpised lager is topping the poll!

Drink preferences change with age. Nobody loved a good pint of beer better than me, but these days I drink little of it. Been through all the trends and crazy fads of Black Velvets, Scrumpy, bombing shorts into beer etc etc. Done the Pernod sessions and the G&T trail and the Yates's Double Whites and co, and seen good beer replaced with wishy-washy lager everywhere and the good bottled stuff disappear, Target, Red Rose Stout etc. Remember well the Empress nights and Double Diamond and Watneys Red Barrel etc. Always preferred bottled Guinness to draught stuff but never followed trends like Guinness and Blackcurrant (ugh). Seen girls legless off a couple of "Pony's" and "Cherry B's" and men drunk on Babychams.

These days, a nice glass or two of white wine, a Bacardi and Lemonade or Vodca and fresh orange, a snifter or two of decent sherry (don't laugh, most of the stuff is about 17.5% proof compared to your 3's and 4'%'s in lager) and a bottle or two of San Miguel will do nicely. On holiday, I'm partial to a Lumumba or two and usually finish most drink nights with an Irish or French coffee. There you go, that'll do nicely. Ahhhhhhh!

I'm with TANGO, I too like a nice nip of sherry at Christmas.

By nip of course I mean half a bottle.

Batman · Post by **Batman** » Thu Aug 02, 2007 8:21 pm

Cigars are whiskey are my 'at Christmas' treats.

Otherwise it's ale all the way.
