    If beer is not available, I go with vodka. Hangover-free and it goes with lots of mixers.

    My favourite would definitely be wine (even if beer would be available).

    After that a nice single-malt Scotch (preferably Islay) would come second (but that would only be if beer was not available)

    Of course pereferences largely depend on the situation

    Wine here as well, only red. I also drink beer, but that is more a party drink.

    ugh, vodka tastes like petrol...
    sherry always tastes nice, as does a quality malt, perhaps Laphroiag, the type which goes cloudy when water is added...

    There is a special one, about 56% alcohol, in a different coloured box... it tastes much better than the normal one

    My favourite is water. Then if there is no water, I will have water.

    If I was forced to drink alchohol, it would be wine.

    ...on Islay...

    Whiskey, whisky, wine (preferably red), gin (in a G&T is good...), various cocktails (I do like a good caipiroska)

    Pretty much anything in fact, if it's good quality.

    1. Beer (preferably the strong Belgian kind)
    2. Porto (is it Port in English ? Wine from Portugal)

    That's pretty much it, I've been trying to get into whiskey, but it's a little too strong for my taste, I prefer to drink large quantities of whatever I'm having

    I love wine, but beer comes close in second. I haven't tried a lot of types though. I still need to try sake, and absinth(the druggy one).

    Quick tip for the vodka-haters, don't drink the vodka if it comes in a plastic bottle!

    Nobody has said tequila yet. Strange...

    The thing from which it is made does things to your brain, taking to much can cause serious brain damage...

    I heard that during prohibition in Norway, people used to put a coin in a glass, pour in coffee until the coin disappeared, and then poured in pure alcohol until the coin was clearly visible again. I wouldn't mind trying that...

    They removed the dangerous substance in modern absinth.

    The only good stuff with alcohol I've tried is cider.
    We are all aware that the senses can be deceived, the eyes fooled. But how can we be sure our senses are not being deceived at any particular time, or even all the time? Might I just be a brain in a tank somewhere, tricked all my life into believing in the events of this world by some insane computer? And does my life gain or lose meaning based on my reaction to such solipsism?

    I'm always willing to consume a pint of good old West Country cider. I also occasionally have a vodka and orange.

    Absinth is just evil. It tastes a bit like aniseed and it just sits in your stomach .

    A good white wine is always nice with the right sort of food, but I haven't really acquired the taste for red wine yet.

    Beer is my mainstay, but I wouldn't be totally lost without it .
