A Root Beer FLOAT! I love root beer floats, but have totally forgotten them. I'm heading to the store right now!

I like a good bourbon, gin, Irish whiskey, Scotch whiskey, Canadian whiskey, rye, tequila, brandy, most beers and ales, many wines (bottled or boxed), Manhattans, gin and tonics, martinis (real ones), salty dogs, Irish coffee, old fashions, bloody Marys, etc. I'll drink what is available and after 3 or 4 I find I really like it. The list of what I don't like is much shorter.
But there is certain bar that I know that is always dark and cool (sorry for injecting a summer scenario into a winter theme). I love going there on a hot summer day. They have Harp on tap served in a 24oz. frosted mug. I like to wait, with trembling anticipation until there is a little ice floating before that 1st long pull that empties 1/3 of the glass. Ahhhhhhhhh

and Local Micro Brew..

Weather is finally getting cool enough for afternoon rides that don't turn into instant sweat-baths here in southern Louisiana.
Wheel Sucker Wit and Wildschwien Heller Bock from Hog Haus Brewing Company (when I'm back visiting family in Fayetteville, AR);
Turbo Dog and Amber from Abita Brewing Company (brewed locally); and
Just about any beer that's FREE!

This summer I discovered melon Vodka & tonic - rivals my bombay blue for a great hot weather drink. But now that the weather is turning - the old standby, Swiss Miss and pepper mint schnapps will return - summer beer, corona light - winter beer, Stella - red & white wines all year round.

Glenfidditch or Glenmorange single malt whiskey.
Good Cabernet, or Beringer White Zinfandel with dinner. Although i have found"Menage a Trois" red wine to my liking.
Good seasonal beers.
Margaritas at any time.
Baileys and coffee.

Coffee for me. I haven't had an alcoholic beverage of any kind for 22 years, 5 months and 23 days. And I don't particularly care for fancy boy coffee either. I was recently given a Starbuck's gift card for my birthday. Anybody want to buy it?
I really am becoming a retro grouch.

But have to agree about Starbucks. We have numerous Coffee shops starting in the UK and many of them are American. The best coffee for me is at a Cafe- Any cafe- in France- closely followed by Italian. In the UK- then Costa coffee is good and a few other chains- But Starbucks**********? Only had two- didn't like it first time but could not believe it could be that bad so a year later tried another- It is that bad.

Wine with dinner, usually a merlot that we bottle ourselves at a neighbourhood make your own wine shop.
Ontario has some excellent micro breweries, and I buy several brands. This is my current favourite.

Some others that I am very fond of.

Written by Roadies, but considering all the available calories (and alcohol) in BEER, maybe it's best in Mountain Bike water bottles. At least, mountain bikes' uses are intended to be off-road and one probably isn't as likely to be pulled over for CUI (cycling under the influence) off the road, as opposed to the skinny-tire crowd in tights.
