CPW: Adult beverage

I love dirty martinis, Grey Goose, so I voted cocktail.

But I also really, really love beer. Guinness is a favorite. Or lagers. Not a fan of IPAs - I burned out on them pretty quickly.

I'll drink wine, but it's not my favorite. There's a local vineyard that has some yummy spiced holiday wines I like.

GDI. There's a typo in the poll and no way to fix it.

Beer is my #1, but a cocktail is a close second.

LOL I tried to type "cockail" but my phone kept autocorrecting LOL

Depends on my mood, sometimes beer, sometimes wine, sometimes vodka & cranberry

Until I met DH, my answer would have been wine.

But he can't stomach the flavor of beer or wine (except ice wine, which I introduced him to), he rarely drinks, and when he does it's either whiskey neat (ick) or some unique and interesting cocktail, so he's got me seeing cocktails as a special date treat.

This poll has me wanting to go for a beer after work....

I’m a wine drinker. I also enjoy a nice cider.

[hawkward]

I'm a SS because I can't choose! I miss beer and cider so much (can't have the carbonation). I love a good wine, especially if we're just sitting around with friends. When it's cold I'm a big fan of Winter Jack (sometimes straight but usually mixed in hot apple cider).

I just really like alcohol.

I swear I'm not an alcoholic, y'all.

oldbaylover1024, I've never met an IPA I've enjoyed. They all taste like soap to me. The area we were in in England was huge on IPAs with several little local breweries. Still didn't like them.

hawkward - I don't get the IPA love either. They all taste like bitter, sour, moldy grapefruits to me. But I'm also not a fruity beer type of person. Gimme a stout or lager and call it a day.

But no dark liquor. Or gin. {{shudder}}

I got so so sick off dark rum once in college. The smell of it now still makes me gag. 

I get hives from it too, which is weird.

That is why I chose it, too!

ETA: I want to jump on the IPA-hate bandwagon with oldbaylover1024 and hawkward.

I chose "I don't drink" because I drink so incredibly rarely (like, on a boozy year, I'll drink 3x that entire year).

Typically, I'll grab some Mike's at the store and have that because easy. We also have hard liquor that I'll shoot on occasion. Don't do any beer or wine (I've tried so many of both, just nope), but I will make cocktails. My favorite one is one I've created that's mostly just Mountain Dew, hahaha.

[boxerific]

I chose wine, but really it's just because I can't drink beer anymore. I've self diagnosed myself with a gluten sensitivity, so I don't drink beer anymore and IT MAKES ME SO SAD. Naturally, my favorite beers were wheat beers GDI. So now I'm a wine girl, but TBH I don't drink much anymore. MH gave up alcohol and out of respect for him, I don't drink much around him and barely have alcohol in the house.

boxerific - My cousin is GF and she found some really good GF beers. Let me know if you need recommendations!

Yes please!

I drink mostly wine, but I love really great cocktail. I am just too lazy to make them. In a perfect world I’d be drinking all fruit cocktails like Mai Tais, but not too sweet and not too syrupy. Possibly frozen.

But really I should have picked SS because my actual favorite is champagne.
