I used to take my coffee black but can no longer drink it as it's a migraine-trigger for me so can only get my caffeine-hit from tea. White and green teas I take neat but black tea needs milk and a touch of sugar.

If the mixer is fizzy then usually that's enough to combine sufficiently with the spirit. But other than that, shaken or stirred, who cares as long as it's alcoholic and tastes the same from top to bottom (...like, what is the point of a tequila sunrise?). If I'm ordering it in a bar then I'll trust that the barman knowns what he's doing.
What?

This. However, I usually drink vodka or tequila without a mixer.

lack of practice here... can't say I have stirred anything in some time. I take my coffee black.. I mix drinks the old fashioned way.. dump in 3 parts booze and 1 part whatever.. and mix them the traditional way.. through moving the glass in vigorous up and down motions to ones lips..

no vote.. sorry Dean... but great poll man..

Right-handed, no preference. I'm not that good at stirring anyway.

I usually go clockwise, but soemtimes i add up and down motion and end by stirring against the current. If stirring milk into tea or something i don't stir much at all and just jiggle the spoon a bit because by the time i go to drink it'll have properly mixed.

That's right you're (slightly) behind. As a member of the aweinspiring Club of David I'm proud to be on my second serving of Gammel Dansk (horrible snaps) and coffee.

It's Saturday morning - what do you expect?

As for myself: I am righthanded (ie normal) and stir in an anticlockwise fashion - if stirring is needed. Much more of a shaker fan myself. That obviously destroys the fizz but I generally don't drink drinks with fizz. Beer is for that.
