Do you drink? If so, what's your pleasure?

I have never been a serious drinker, but I do a glass or two of wine, or a cocktail, on the weekends with Ron from time to time.

Some weekends we'll work our way through a bottle or two of wine, some weekends we'll either go out for drinks, or he'll make us Long Island Iced Teas. Ron likes a Jack and Coke on occasion.

I think my favorite cocktail is a Mojito. Cucumber Gimlets run a close second. Those are the ones I'll ask for when we go out for a drink, because I can never seem to make them taste as delicious as the bartender. And though I enjoy a good red wine with spaghetti or a steak, I prefer the lighter, sweeter varieties as a sipping wine. A moscato or a zin are my preferences.

What about you?
 

Margarita with Mexican food when eating out. Now I will have a little Baileys over ice. When I was able to mow my grass, edge and work outside most of the day on a Saturday I would have a small cold Michelob light at the end of day while I admired my work. Have not had one in years and not seen the small ones in the stores. Guess they do not have them in the small bottles anymore. Doesn't matter since I can't do yard work anymore!

I seldom drink these days. The last alcoholic drink I had was Feb 16[SUP]th[/SUP] on my flight from Mobile to Dallas.

I had booked one of the cheap seats when at the last minute I got an email from the airline offering me an upgrade to 1[SUP]st[/SUP] Class for just 70 bucks. I figured what the Hell, I’ll pay 70 bucks to see how the other half lives, so I went for it.

When I got on the plane I found out why the airline had made that offer. The plane was over half empty. I could have sat pretty much anywhere and been able to stretch out.

When I sat down in first class there was only one other couple in that section. But then this woman with 2 screamin squalling brats in the 3-5 year old range was allowed to move up into first class too. Right behind me. Great!

Frankly I couldn’t see much of a difference in 1[SUP]st[/SUP] class. The seats were a little wider, but not by that much. And the flight attendant was younger and hotter than the middle aged more matronly one in coach. Neither of these things was worth anything to me. There are some 72 year old Dudes that get a kick out of flirting with a 27 year old chick, but I ain’t one of them. I’d just feel creepy.

But there was one more perk. First class got a complementary alcoholic drink. So I had the younger hotter flight attendant bring me a Fat Tire Beer, because I had never tried one of those before. And it was pretty good. But then the first beer always tastes good, especially if you haven’t had one in about a year, which I hadn’t. Now back when I was young I might spend the rest of the night pounding brewskis in the hope of finding one that would taste as good as the first one. But not these days.


So that’s the story of what I call my $70 beer
 
Flavored Vodka....either whipped cream, cinnamon roll, or chocolate flavored....I just have a half shot after Supper...best sleeping aid I've ever found. When at the casino, I have a small glass of Mogen David concord wine.
 
I like to have a cold beer with supper, either Miller High Life or Foster's. We'll buy some wine around the holidays, but don't drink it that often. I also buy a bottle of St. Brendan's Irish cream for the holidays.
 
I grew up in a family of non-drinkers and never felt the need to change. At my age now, it'd probably be a little late to start. :D
To this day, alcohol is never present at any of our large family gatherings, I suppose out of respect for my wife and I and we appreciate it.

But never a "judgement' on my part - - just a preference.
 
I don’t usually drink either but over the last year there have been incidences where I have. Since I don’t normally drink I get tipsy really quickly. When I did drink I preferred dessert like drinks like fancy cocktails or liquors like Baileys, Amaretto or Kalhua in coffee.
