Bit of a different one here.

Now i understand that it's not the best topic for a pyrotechnics forum...but its like drinking and driving.....as long as we don't mix them, its fine !

Out of interest.....What do you guys drink, whats your favourite choice, and how old are you.

i'll start

I'm a Wine drinker
Top Tipple = Torres - Gran sangre de toro - 2003 vintage
Im - 23 :wacko:


i also enjoy a decent single malt, and the odd cider....

A fan of the single Islay malts here, Laphroaig is a favourite. If you like the smell of bonfires then this stuff is liquid smoke! Also like Glenmorangie. Very much enjoy red wine and continental lagers too! Keep giving real ales a try now and then.

No wonder I have so little time for fireworks these days ;)

Ruddles County -no where near what it was but still good
Lowenbrau -very hard to find on draught now for some reason.
Budweiser Budvar-not the American stuff
Good Bourbon
Wine, any white from v.expensive German vintage to "châteaux Esso"
I tried some Laphroaig for the first time last week and was impressed.

The way the economy is going I can see a market for Bluecol & coke :blink:

I am 43, my liver is 98. :wub:

Carlsberg Special Brew - Mark Knopfler got it right, when you want to run cool, you need heavy fuel. For special occasions a few Caipirinhas (amazing Brazilian cocktail) to start and a good bottle of Brunello di Montalcino with the meal helps.

Jagermeister :wacko:

Also a big fan of Lowernbrau, Duvel, Leffe and other strong beers. I'm also a bit of a coffee enthusiast, strong cappuccino made from Brazilian Cachoeira Canario being my brew of choice...

If you ever get a chance, you should try some Corsican beers. Definitely amongst the most enjoyable, flavoursome beers I've ever encountered.

The mains ones are here:

I drink Alcohol Free lager, but on the rare occasion that I do go out it`s always Guiness that I drink.
and I do like mulled wine at Christmas.

I used to mostly drink beer (cheap canned lager) and rye whiskey, but lately it's been mainly beer and red wine. I like shiraz and merlot best.

I have to say I'm a Lager drinker at heart, can't beat a nice frosty pint of Tiger or Stella, but I do like my ales, Hobgoblin and Blacksheep have to be at the top of the list. I'm also partial to a bit of Le Fee Verte (Absinthe) every now and then. And ofcourse, you can't beat a Fuzzy Shark cocktail - possibly the world's best tasting cocktail!

I'm 18 :)
