I don't drink a lot very often - coming from an extended family with several alcoholics, I was a bit scarred by their examples. In fact, until the last few years I didn't drink at all.
I hate beer. Just flat out hate it. I tend to gravitate towards mixed drinks like Cosmos or Midori Sours. That or vodka, straight up. But only the good stuff - our Russian designer/vodka expert has taught me to be discriminating!
When I have a head cold, I drink a little Jamesons and it works wonders.
