  • Do you drink? If so, how often?
    What's your drink of choice?
    Do you drink beer or wine?
    What will you absolutely NOT drink?
    Do you like to take shots - if so, what kind?

    Personally, I drink once or twice a week. When I was younger, I always said I would never drink haha.

    I usually drink Vodka - preferably stoli or Tito's - with Sprite or Water [with Mio/Water flavor enhancer]. If I'm not drinking vodka, it's usually a whisky [Crown/Jameson].

    I don't drink beer, but I do enjoy wine. I prefer Reds - Cabernet Sauvignon or Pinot Noir.

    I do enjoy taking shots - mixed, or straight.
    My go-to mixed shot is a Green Tea [1.5oz Jameson, .5 oz peach schnapps, .5 oz sweet and sour, splash of sprite]. As far as straight shots go, I prefer [ice cold] Rumplemintz. I'll take Fireball, but I don't prefer it.

  • I'm not a huge drinker anyway but up until only very recently I went years without consuming any alcohol for health reasons. It's only the past little while I've been healthy enough. Before getting ill I was always careful to stop after one or two, I know I'd be fine with a little more but I have a list of psychological issues that don't mix well with alcohol.

    That being said, when I do drink my preference is midori. I don't mind vodka + insert most mixers or rum either but those are second choice by far. Honestly (thankfully really), I don't really like most alcohol anyway. Can't stand bourbon, whiskey, wine or beer. The latter two are especially awful.

    i used to love beer but apparently even a couple of beers makes me dead for a day and a half after, these days. so now my toxic beverage of choice is red wine.

    My ass fell off the wagon like a month ago, haha. Only drink once a week / once every two weeks though.

    Right now I've been hitting the vodka pretty hard (screwdrivers yes please!), but I'm partial to a rum and coke. Definitely prefer wine over beer!

    I'll take shots however you serve 'em.

  • I drink often. I don't care for beer, I am more of a wine person. If I am out with friends at a bar I might do some shots of whatever.

  • i tend to drink cider, vodka mixers and shots. it's not like i'm a heavy drinker who has it every night, it's just something that comes with going out every weekend i guess.

    Ethanol is pretty tasty.

    Seriously though, most drunk people are obnoxious and alcohol tastes awful from what little I sampled. And growing up, alcohol causes a lot of conflict in my family. I have zero interest in it.

    Um, well, considering my age, I shouldn't be admitting to this, but I am a bit of a party animal and drink regularly on weekends. Def a vodka girl, it's the Russian in me.

    Luckily, where I live, I'll be legal in a few months.

    I'm a minor, but I do love me some wine or brandy during certain occasions!

    I still prefer water over every other drink.

  • Do you drink? If so, how often? Sometimes! But not often enough that it's really damaging, I hope!
    What's your drink of choice? I like flavoured coolers ^^
    Do you drink beer or wine? If I had to choose between these two, I'd say wine
    What will you absolutely NOT drink? Hard Liquor

  • I've been legal for five years, but I've never drank a drop of alcohol. I'm trying to keep that up as long as possible.

    Well technically, I've only been legal when I was 16 and 18+ because Dutch laws can be messed up sometimes.

    I usually drink beer, but I'd kind of like to drink red wine regularly instead, maybe do some more liquor too. But I think that if I start bringing those home regularly my family's gonna think I've become an alcoholic so....

    I don't drink at all. I just don't find it particularly pleasurable, and it probably isn't very good for someone with my health conditions to drink much anyway.

  • I am a very casual drinker, and mainly only drink wine. I prefer white wine over red wine, because it doesn't have as bad as an aftertaste and is sweet.

  • I haven't had an alcoholic drink since the beginning of this year. :( When we were gifted a couple bottles of wine and I was given a recipe for sangria (since the person giving me my bottle knew I liked that).

    But when I do drink, I prefer the fruitier kinds of drinks. Sangria is indeed right up my alley. Wine coolers? I'll take them. Actual wine is iffy, I haven't met too many that I'll willingly drink a lot of straight. Beer and harder stuff is right out - unless it's something like fireball whiskey, in which case I will gladly take it off your hands.

  • Not really anymore, I had a problem with alcohol for awhile but I'm about 8 months sober-ish now. I still have a beer or 2 with the family every now and then, But I haven't binge drank or touched hard alcohol in 8 months.

    I wasn't too big into mixed drinks, I pretty much just drank whiskey on the rocks and Heineken beers. I would buy vodka shooters and mix it with gatorade or whatever when I wanted to hide my drinking.

  • I only drink on special occasions or when I'm heading out with friends (which, with how far we usually are nowadays, is kind of a special occasion rip).

    My go-to drink is beer, although I only like lagers and not-too-hoppy IPAs. I also enjoy any mixed drink with my fave flavours (usually raspberry or yuzu). I keep trying wine hoping I'll like it because it's ~adult~ and kind of expected at fancy dinners and weddings and stuff but... ugh. I can't do it. If I'm already tipsy, I can drink white wine, but no matter what I do I can't get into red wine. It's groooss. I also don't like hard alcohol much. I can do mixed drinks because it's like half-alcohol and half-juice or whatever, but straight shots or most liqueurs are just awful to me.

    I don't really like being drunk... or even tipsy, tbh. I'm under influence bc of meds often enough that I don't really like lowering my inhibitions on purpose. It's bad enough when I don't have a choice, so when I do have a choice, I'd rather be sober and in control. The few years when all my friends just wanted to get wasted at parties reeeally sucked but thankfully everyone mellowed out more and we just do one or two drinks with dinner now, which is easy to handle.
