This is more for amusement, Post the names of your favorite drinks.
For alchoholic mine is currently Fire ball whiskey, I love cinnamin.
For non alchoholic, Tea.
I vaguely recall that we actually had one of these in the old forums (started by Wildy perhaps?)
Personally, I always likes non-alcoholic Pina Coladas, but recently I had one that's not so good (my first in years) so I'm hoping it was just a fluke of badness. We'll see what happens when I'm legal, neh? :3
Also, I love chocolate milk, simply adore it. As well as juice, and punch, like the real stuff, with pop and stuff, not from a packet, you know like 'fruit punch'. And a lovely little concoction I created at the beginning of summer which I'm still trying to recreate, more on that later.
Making sense is also good too. However, that is not a drink.
Rum.

More win. I <3 Langer's fruite juice.
A good martini (5 gin:1 vermouth, stirred, not shaken) is good. Also, Laphroaig. Gosling's rum, and I've found an Earth variant of the Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster that I want to try. (4 parts citron, 1 part 151, 1 part goldschlager, 1 part everclear) I just need the Everclear. There's also the progressive screwdriver, made by freezing the vodka into cubes.
Non-alcoholic? I like RC.
Lemonade. Favorite drink.
I don't drink alcohol. Age not withstanding, because of the medication I'm on I simply can't drink alcohol at the risk of becoming sick. Plus, I have no interest in it, if only because I'm paranoid.
Non-alcoholic drinks, on the other hand... I actually like water a lot. It's really refreshing. But otherwise, I like chocolate milk, root beer, Bawls (omg sounds like balls, hur hur :B), and strawberry milk.
~Keaton the Black Jackal
Edit: Oh poop, I forgot to mention chamomile tea.
I'm a Pepsi person myself. And I'm one of those people who actually liked Pepsi Blue. Though Diet Pepsi Max is pretty good.
As for alcoholic drinks... Crown Royal mixes well with anything, IMO. I acquired that taste from my dad. Ever since he let me have a few of his mixes of Crown & 7... or Crown & Pepsi, I got hooked. So now the best gift to give either of us is a big bottle of Crown. In fact, that was his last Father's Day gift.
My ex-roommate can mix some drinks though. He once mixed a few for me. One tasted of bubblegum, another tasted of cinnamon, and another tasted exactly like Dr. Pepper. And let's just say, there wasn't a drop that wasn't alcoholic in those drinks.
Tea never gets boring...Specialy hanging around in a wonderlust of a good book as well

I seem to recall a strip on Real Life Comics (http://www.reallifecomics.com/) that revolved entirely around this...
... Oh, right. For myself, I'm partial to Strongbow (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strongbow_Cider) for an alcoholic drink.
For non-alcoholic drinks, I enjoy iced coffee, or other flavoured milk (vanilla malt or honeycomb, for preference - don't get me started on the idea of banana-flavoured milk), and I do enjoy a good cup of coffee.
I'm not quite old enough for alcohol drinks...
But I'm rather fond of a mix of mountain dew, sprite, and oswalda blueberry fruit juice. It makes this really cool green stuff that tastes awesome.
Strongbow is nice, but Magners is better.
Apart from Magners Irish Cider, I also like rum, light or dark, with cola, and I'm also partial to vodka, lime and lemonade.
Non alcoholics drinks range from water to diet coke, sprite and 7-Up.
Sobe green tea. the bottle doubles as a great container for spent sun flower seeds.
So many interesting and gewd drinks.

All in that order.
Oooh, yeah, Dr. Pepper is the best soft drink evar. :O
Coffee
Iced Coffee
Iced Tea
Pineapple Coconut Juice - OMG :U
Smirnoff Ice - Tastes exactly like Squirt soda, though.

You wound me as well. I don't drink all that often, and definitely not just to relax. It's more of a social thing, and only when others are gonna be drinking too. I never drink alone. An example would be a party, or some other social event. But when I do drink I do it in the safety of my own home, or when I'm with friends and/or family, and my keys always go in the hands of someone who will not be drinking. It is certainly not an escape from reality for me. I have too much going on in reality to escape from it. Granted it is a relaxer, but it's not my sole method of relaxation.
@Zorro: What kind of beer? Killian's Red is my beer of choice.
Shiner Bock. It's the Bizzomb!
Non boozy booze would have to be Diet mountain Dew. But thats because I'm on a diet and I went from 258 down too 238 and it's an easy change and something I'm going to stick with because weight watchers is awesome.

Same as me. I don't drink just to relax. Like Ryudo said, it's a social thing. Not "for weak people who can't handle reality" as you so
lovingly described it.
I drink to get drunk :3 But not so much anymore, I haven't drank in about.... 2 months. I think next month I'm going to get my drink on.
strawberry soda....the sugar, syrup, soda ratio at Jack in the box is awesome
Mostly i drink Koolaide and orange soda, which are OK.
favorite drinks however include ovaltine, which if i were to actually drink i would run out of milk instantly
the wonderful world of alcohol- i am dead serious that i drink MEADE and i LOVE it. its best in a pewter container with ice, and its a pity more places dont stock it so i can sample different kinds.
other then that i have a unique mixed drink i bet nobody here has ever tried- take blue raspberry flavored vodka and mountain dew, mix them about one part vodka to three parts dew, more or less to taste. if done correctly it taste exactly like a gummi worm, and thats what my wife and friend who invented it call the drink. experiments to make it a frozen drink are incomplete, maybe a slush...
Hm? I by no means agree with the notion that people who drink alcohol are weak, but what exactly does it mean to drink because it's a social thing? Because it's the only thing being served? Because it lowers barriers? Because people think you're weird if you don't?
As for my favourite, it would be tea. I had something awesome called 'Dragon Lily' in which you actually put this dried flower thing in your teapot and it opens as it gets saturated and releases it's flavour and is awesome. :>
But yeah, many types of tea. Typically Lady Grey, because it's cheap, accessible, and is really great with honey.
Personally I deter away from Earl Gray, although the Lady is rather nice.
I am a general all-round fan of Orange Pekoe, but Green Tea when done properly in the right setting is always nice.
Also, my friend was telling me just today about a type of tea he demands I try, and there is also this one called "Zen" which has a high caffiene content, because monks would drink it to keep themselves awake and alert during hours-long meditation.

For me, at least, it's social not because I'd be the only one not drinking (aside from the DD), or that it's the only thing being served or what have you. I'm also not going to drink if I'm the only one doing it. Instead, I guess it's more like a comradare kind of thing. To sit at a bar/table/grill with friends and/or family and everyone's drinking something... I dunno, it's a bonding experience really. At least to me. I might just be wierd that way.
I think Az may have been referring to habitual alcoholics who use it as a means of escape from the real world, and not people who are responsible with their alcohol.
Drinking as a social thing is the sitting round a table talking.
The drinks don't need to be alcoholic, even.
True, but when it comes to alcohol, it's better and safer for you to drink amongst family and friends, because then they know what to expect if you've had a few too many.

Wow. What an excellent demonstration of generalization!
I don't drink alcohol, but I can probably safely say that the reasons for drinking alcohol are diverse. Some people may like the taste, some people may only drink at parties, some people may enjoy the exoticness, some people may just drink for fun... the list goes on and on. Of course there are people who are addicted to alcohol, but that is
hardly every person who casually sips a beer or a vodka. And the reasons behind addiction and reliance are most likely--and often--
much more complicated than how
you presented it. Hell, alcoholism can even be hereditary. In some places it's traditional to drink wine at dinners, and in some places people drink alcohol because their water source is too dirty. Don't simplify this.

That may be true (about alcohol being a drug; being a depressant) but the negative aftereffects of alcohol can be minimized through different forms and variations of
moderation. As in no drinking and driving, taking a taxi home or having a friend drive you if you're outside and have been drinking, keeping everything within boundaries, and no underaged drinking.
My grandmother occasionally drinks (normally wine).

And I love how you have received several arguments and you're disregarding them by dismissing them as "entertaining."
~Keaton the Black Jackal
Alcohol has been a part of our culture for most of recorded history which is probably why it's not illegal, such as with things like tobacco and some of what superluser listed, which are known to be harmful in large quantities but aren't illegal. I don't particularly know which country you come from, but most countries in the world have a rich history in their alcohol. Even today it's a thriving industry. Millions of drinkers world-wide can't be wrong.
In alcohol's case, Keaton is correct, moderation is the key word here. Overdoing it can be harmful, but in moderation it's a different story. Hasn't it been shown that a glass of red wine every evening helps prevent heart attacks or something like that? And I don't know about any of you, but when I drink, I'm far from depressed. In fact, alcohol has the direct opposite effect on me. Everything is funny when I've had a few. Granted, I'm pulling from personal experience here, but still...
Yes, alcoholism is a bad thing, I won't argue with you on that. But I have to wonder, just how many habitual alcoholics are there on this board? I know that I'm not one, by any stretch of the imagination. Rather, the last drink I had was a couple of months ago, when I had a beer with my pizza at dinner, at home, with my dad. Does that make me weak and trying to escape from reality? No. It means I had a beer with my dinner.
I feel insulted that you're dismissing what we're saying as being "entertaining".
Ryudo, dude, do you really think he cares? The guy is a troll. He gets his kicks out of insulting people like this and just generally being a nasty asshole who thinks he's above everyone else.
Just saying my piece.
I know you are man, and I completely agree with you. I'm just saying that trying to reason with him is like talking to a brick wall.
Aaanyways; I completely forgot about Dr. Pepper until someone mentioned it earlier. I love that stuff, but I haven't had any in ages. >:

social drinking seems to be a lost art- too many a kid just sits down like the whole idea is to pray to the porcelain god.
My friend and wife and i all sat down for drinks from time to time, talking and laughing and having a grand old time. at the end of one specific night i had put away five goblets of meade, three large vodka drinks, and about a cup of wine, i can fully recall everything that happened, was not impaired that i couldn't walk, had no hangover, and continued conversation i was told was quite funny and not the normal idiocy drunkards are famous for.
maybe they should have lessons in school about proper drinking, instead of movies that constantly show people holding a keg and a funnel

As for nonalcoholic stuff, most soda's are mere supersaturated sugar-waters with chemical flavour and colours and some fizz. I don't like them. Some fruit juices are ok, and one store not too far from my home sells a variety of fresh smoothies.

NO! Just don't start with the sucky stuff in the first place.
Also, most people during their youth have been spoiled with ultra-sweetened liquid sugar soda pop things, and ultra-mega-sweetened candy thingies, and sometimes a McDonalds burger (try to taste the meat through all
that "sauce"). Their taste buds have been deadend to everything that isn't three of four times as sweet as sugar, or drowned in really bad flavoured faux mayo.
Open yourself up to new flavours before you, too, fall into that pattern. Before long you will dismiss even the finest wines as being 'sour' because it doesn't give you the suger high you are accustomed to through years of neglecting the full range of sensations your tongue has to offer.
It will take some getting used to, but then again, all good things do.

Beer. Tastes. Like. Piss. No matter which you're talking about. It's the yeast and the hops. And it gives you a gut. That's why I only drink stronger liquors, stuff that tastes good and has a bit of a kick to it, and doesn't make you feel rotten and pudgy.

Try delirium tremens. (the beer, not the clinical condition)
In my preferences in drinks, I've got a little to tell.
I. HATE. Anything. Fizzy.
Any carbonated drinks I just can't stand. Why? Because I can't actuallydrink the darned stuff! Whenever I try, the active carbonation fizz tickles me so badly i can only take very small sips. That's why, on the rare occation that I even DO drink any sort of soda at all, I make sure I'm over a sink, with the seal partially cracked, and give the can one hell of a shakeup :) Even then, and becasue of this, I've never even really developed a taste for sodas, with the one notable exception of root beer :3
In regards to actual alcohol, I've never touched a drop and probably never will. I'm attributing this to the fact that I was brought up from the Mormon religion, before I renounced it and went atheist (I did this for a great many reasons, quite a lot to list here, and totally irrelevant to the current topic). Probably the only things I've kept from that religion is no alcohol, no smoking, no drugs, ect. I don't have much repect for anyone who does these things, especially the last one. Drug addicts and dealers deserve to be locked up, or in the most extreme cases (in my opinion) have their backward lives terminated. Smokers, I don't really much care for, if you want to decrease your own life span, that's fine by me. I just wish the tobacco producers wouldn't put addictive nicotine into the damn stuff so people could quit whenever they want to (yeah, like that's going to happen...). But back onto the topic of people who drink, I have no respect for people who like to get shit-faced regularly, but I have known that there are the casual drinkers who never actually get drunk, and that I'm alright with. The stories people have been telling here of themselves are further helping this positive view :) But I probably still won't ever drink myself.

For the record, I could be mistaken for a teetotaller. I drink maybe one day out of the month, and then usually have a no more than 2 drinks. Usually because drinking feels more like an evening thing, and I'm not going to drink something if I have to go to work in the morning or if there's a chance that I might be driving later in the evening.
I also tend to tolerate hard liquor much better than beer or wine.

I think that beer is one of those things that you either love or hate. I do enjoy a nice beer, particularly Kronenburg 1664, a French beer. It's quite a sweet beer, but damn is it nice. Becks, a German beer, is also a favourite of mine. It's got a clean, crisp and refreshing taste to it. And how could I forget Guinness?

Hm, Interesting. I may have to try it sometime.
ah, alcohol, one of the oldest drinks.
It's social because everyone is drinking the same thing, it encourages camaderie, it's also symbolic of trust, that everyone is drinking frmo the same source, though this is not always the case anymore
As people moved in to larger communities, alcoholic drinks were the only safe thing to drink, until better sewage practices and municiple water systems became available.
Wine can actually have a benificial effect for the heart of the drinker.
And grape juice naturally ferments into wine (but not pasturized grape juice, which is the only kind you can get in the store.)
That all said, I don't like the tase of any alcohol I've tried to date(only beer and wine as of yet), and I avoid drinking any except when socially required.
My favorite drink is Dr Pepper. I can't stand diet because the aspertame gives a sharp taste to it that I just don't like. I'm OK with Pepsi, and I detest Coke for it's nasty after-taste.
My opinion of water is very similar to that of Zipo Bibrok 5*10**8.
Quote"Hey, is there something in this water?" he said.
"Er, no, m'lud," said the Court Usher who had brought it to him, rather nervously.
"Then take it away," snapped Judiciary Pag, "and put something in it."

Dr. Pepper isn't bad actually, It's a good drink I don't drink it often but it's okay.
Ah what the hell, all drinks are good to some extent.

Sounds like some one hasn't tried brewing your own drinks.

I only experiment with drinks if I'm awake at 3 am.
Note: I'm changing my favorite non-alchoholic drink to tea. It's alot better than I remember it being.
N/A drink, I'm with Zack, mine's tea too. If you have one of those Teavana places near you, you should check it out. The samples are fantastic.
Alcoholic: Mojitos! I make the best ones too, cuz I make them with LoOOOOVe! I hate getting one at a bar where the bartender is clearly not interested in making them (they are kinda labor intensive) because then they taste like pizz. :P

...Mixed together or seperate? If mixed then I've never heard of that befores...
Mixed together. I had an orange soda at a sit down restaurant, saw some coffee creamers on the table, and thought, "Hmm... Orange and cream..." like one of those ice cream bars/popsicles. 'Tis good. :3
Alcoholic... Bailey's Irish Cream is the only alcoholic thing I'll drink so far. I hate the taste of anything else, although my grandparents and parents have made it clear that they don't care if I have the occasional drink.
Non-alcoholic, probably milk, chocolate or plain. Also, pineapple juice.

Ah...the only alcoholic beverage that contains cholesterol.

Egg nog?
My favorite drink is oolong tea. I drink at least two cups every day. :)
My next favorite is iced tea with the juice of 3 Poncirus trifoliata squeezed into it... because the juice blocks IgE production and lessens the anaphylactic response I have to eating fungi, which can hide out on almost everything without being seen. :P

Well, that's a mixed drink. It doesn't count if you have to add cholesterol to the alcohol.
It was more of a play on the fact that here in the US, they recently strengthened product labelling laws, so the marketers started getting the bright idea to place all the health labels that they can on every package.
So you'll often see wine labelled as ``Cholesterol-Free.'' I certainly hope so, since cholesterol comes from animals, and grapes are plants. I tried to come up with any alcoholic beverage that comes from animals, and someone suggested Irish Cream. It now occurs to me that that might not count, either, since they probably don't ferment the milk.
P.S. Honey seems to be cholesterol-free.

Non-alcoholic - Irn Bru. (look it up) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irn_bru)
alcoholic - not really decided yet.

Irn Bru Revolution (http://rcdb.com/id788.htm)?
probably not, Irn Bru is a scottish drink and was only introduced to England recently.
I think so. Look at the logo on the rollercoaster, and the colour scheme's the same. There's also another ride at that park called the Pepsi-Max Big One, so I wouldn't be surprised if there was another ride named after a popular beverage. :P
i'm quite confused, what happened to this themepark?
It's still around. They put in a new roller coaster in recent years called Infusion.
not its actual state of affairs, i mean why would they create a roller coaster in an English city to advertise a Scottish drink?
I'm pretty sure I've seen Irn Bru in stores in England for as long as I can remember.
Irn Bru most likely paid the most money to Blackpool Pleasure Beach to get their name on it.

Another favorite drink... hmmm..
It is by my will alone I set my mind in motion.
It is by the Juice of Saphut the thoughts aquire speed,
The lips aquire stain,
The stain becomes a warning.
It is by my will alone I set my mind in motion.
Mmmm... that's some good juice! I think Tropicana makes it... :B
PS: I'm too lazy to see if Saphut is spelled right. :P

I drank tropicana once, it didn't taste very good, then again it may have just been the flavor I had, I should proboblly try a different kind an see if it makes any difference.
