Hmmm... thinking of good gaming table drinks,

1. Beer (all of Teflon Billy's campaigns)
2. Vodka and Coke (my friend Steve's Paranoia campaign)
3. Red Wine (my Monday night D&D game and my friend Casey's G1-3 revival)
4. Sangria (new drink of my Monday night game)
5. Rum and A&W Diet Root (my friend Alan's Mutants & Masterminds campaign)

I went out this weekend and really wanted a glass of Sangria... ordered it and it was **terrible**. It was absolutely disgusting.

I love Sangria and whatever the name of the place I was eatting at ruined it. *cries*

I think I'll try to make it myself this weekend. Anyone have a good recipe?

That place has a lot of drinks and you can search for Sangria. Never had it myself. I also love the site because you can tell it what's "In My Bar" and it will give you a list of drinks you can make with those ingredients.
 


I drink some. Not much, usually with a meal, and seldom to past the point of a buzz -- which doesn't take long, I'm a lightweight.

In the beer family, I like stouts (Guinness!) and porters (Black Butte!). Pilsners are a sick joke. I detest them, and IPAs as well.

Wines are good, reds and blushes preferred. And japanese plum wine. And ethiopian honey wine. And champagne.

I wish Oregon liquor stores could hook me up with some Vat 69 when it comes to scotch. Other than that, my "hard liquour" is pretty much rum & coke, or whiskey sour. Occasional Gaelic Sombrero (a nasty drink, but I like the aftertaste). I had some mango liquer once that was great mixed with cranberry juice, but I don't know where to get that again.

I don't drink much, but I sure enjoy what little drinking I do!

Anymore and I'm a light social drinker.
At 18 and in the Army, I was drunk off my arse every Friday and Saturday night (unless in "the field" which was only 6 to 8 weekend a year until Desert storm reared it's ugly head). Being on the Advanced Team (or whatever we actually called it, I no longer recall) for any Alert missions and having to do a 5k run one morning for PT with a slight hangover, quickly disabsed me of the notion of drinking during week nights.
If you're wondering, being on the Advance Team meant I had to leave with several other folks in full combat gear including the chemical gear, going out to some predetermined meeting point and testing the area for NBC agents (Nuclear, Biological and Chemical) and reporting the local conditions back to the rest of the unit before they arrived. The upside was I could tell officers to get the hell out of my way w/out worrying about getting in trouble, becausse we had to be rolling out the front gate within 30 minutes of the Alert being called (oh, yeah, none of them were for real, just training exercises). The downside was they called the damn things around 2:oo a.m., and once on a weekend (where luckily, I was barely inebriated for the once).
In college I was frequently drunk and stoned on the weekends (and stoned throughtout most of the week).
Nowadays, I have a beer or two (and rarely also a shot of something) on game nights (every other weekend), but not always, either. So thats roughly 2 to 4 beers a month on average.

I never have, and I never will. I never saw the appeal in getting drunk, either.

It's simple - it feels good!

Unless you get too drunk, of course. Then it feels bad and whirly. Haven't had the whirlies in a long time though.
 

I drink very rarely. I suppose I'm not counting the thimble-worth of wine that my family drinks on Shabbot (which means Friday nights; I sometimes join in), but overall, it's a rare day that I drink alcohol (and when I do, never anything stronger than wine or some sort of fruit-flavored cooler).

For the most part, it's because alcohol causes me pain to drink. Unless I have quite a lot of food in my stomach, it doesn't even take a half-glass of wine to cause me some fairly intense stomach pain.
 

The poll is missing the option which would fit me, unfortunately, which is "I binge drink every weekend but don't tend to drink in between". Unless a friend calls up and asks if I want to go out for a beer midweek, of course...
