My drinking habits vary massively based on the situation. If its a "one or two drinks with the evenings food" situation, I like basic, uncomplicated lagers. As far as lagers go, I tend towards light refreshing ones, although not so light that they taste like manky water (Budwieser, im looking at you here). I particularly like Brahma for this type of thing, although I tend to go for Becks due to large boxes for cheap.

If im out drinking in a pub environment, I tend to go more for ales or Guinness. This has more to do with large amounts of lager making me pee like a horse than anything to do with taste though.

Cider gives me godawfull headaches if I drink more than a pint of it, and I dont particularly like the stuff anyway.

My drink of preference at the moment though is definately Crabbies Alcoholic Ginger Beer. Its fuking awesome. Tastes nice, gets me drunk, but doesnt make me sleepy like beers tend to. Pro-tip though: it tastes infinately nicer chilled than it does room temperature. So much so that I would go as far as to say it tastes fucking rank warm.

Totally agree, though not drank enough of it to get drunk, I have a feeling it would probably give me bad heartburn... will need to experiment and see

Crabbies is way too sweet for me, but I did taste another alcoholic ginger beer that was a lot less sweet and had a nice kick to it. Can't remember what it was though.

Frank's? I think I prefer that one, although it is quite sweet, too. They also do an alcoholic root beer which I rather like - though obviously a bit like iced coffee is an aquired taste.

Mrs Pants says it was Tesco Finest, apparently. It was more like Jamaican ginger ale, the stuff which catches in your throat and makes you splutter if you breathe through your nose while drinking it.
