Ultimate Alcohol Poll

I like IPA and Famous Grouse whisky and when I can get it Patxaran (Etxeko)

Oh, I should've voted cognac!

I haven't. I'm a big lover of beer, and I like trying out different kinds of beer, but I do it all too seldom, for some reason. Will try out Lervig the next time I get the chance.

I invented the cherry margarita when I swapped this after running out of Cointreau
Edit: this is just a joke

Where does lager, the most common beer of all, fit in?

I think the categorisation for beers is fine, except I'd put IPA's in with ales. At least you did split beers into categories.

Personally, I'm a real ale drinker; current favorites:

You've been drinking the wrong vodka.

Dry red wine would be my favourite, but I also like some beers (preferrably stronger ones, 6.5% and up, or old Gueuze and some Kriek). Whisky (single malt or blended), Cognac, Gin and Vodka are fine as well.

But the drink I drink the most now is Gin - and that is generally Bombay Sapphire or Tanqueray with a splash of tonic (unless I'm out then I'll take cheap Gordons with a whole bottle of tonic) A proper Englishman's answer. I like British beers a lot, particularly ESBs and agree with you about lager. I'm glad to find such common ground, even though my preferred gin's are not the same as yours (I think Bombay Sapphire is only popular because of the blue bottle and media hype,) preferring Beefeater and Broker's myself. I also love stouts and porters (and find it odd they are not grouped together in this poll.)

That beer is actually on at our local at the moment
