For those of us above the age of adulthood and who enjoy a tipple what's your alcoholic beverage of choice?
Personally if i'm out on the town i drink Guinness. But in the house i drink Carlsberg. I never touch spirits anymore after a few bad experiences.

Well, I'm sure you all knew
I'd be here sooner or later...
Two different sets here:
At Home
Beer: Pabst Blue Ribbon. Sure, it tastes like crap -- at first. *shrug* Acquired taste, and I acquired it at college, while playing Mortal Kombat 2 and staring at coeds' racks. Memories...
Hard Stuff: Alternates between Jim Beam (when I'm feelin' low-down-dirty and listening to blues music on the Hi-Fi) or Bombay Sapphire gin, when I'm kickin' back watching a DVD and generally feeling pretty smug and upper-crusty.)
On The Town:
Beer: Guinness, Kiltlifter or Rogue something-or-other. When I'm sitting in the bar feeling sociable, something with a little body and flavor is good, and I lived down the street from the Rogue Brewery in Newport, Oregon for about a year.
Hard Stuff: Maker's Mark or Bombay Sapphire. For those times when you're sitting at the bar
not feeling particularly sociable, but just want the atmosphere of a drinking establishment.
And always remember, guys:
drink responsibly. Do everything else with reckless abandon.

I drink Coors light, and do shots of Jack Daniels, and tequila.

Miller Lite for those nights out with the gang
Chardonnay for those romantic night
Jaggermeister or Jell-O shots when the party really gets going.

Oh! Forgot a couple! Southern Comfort -- for, you know, when I feel like being comforted, and Yukon Jack for when I'm... eh... heh heh... you don't wanna know.

Bacardi Silver is my usual lubricant, followed by Smirnoff Ice and Mike's Hard {Lemonade, Cranberry Lemonade, Iced Tea}. If I'm at a real bar I get Rum & Coke (either Bacardi or that coconut-flavored Malibu(?) variety).
Rum! The pirate's drink. Arr!

Vodka and Coke, mainly because i don't like beer so it's pretty much the only alcoholic drink i have when i go out.

Being the barman's ho that I am, my tipple changes about as often as my nail varnish.
right now (literally), I'm drinking Sangria (blame Poe and Zaia)

In order of preferance:
Port. Ruby Port.
Mead
Cabernet
Pinot Noir
Chardonnay
Decent imported beers
Domestic beers
And to fortify the light stuff:
Drambuie
A good single malt Scotch
Johnny Walker red
Goldschlaeger
Also I like a variety of mixed drinks, Zombies, Cape Cods, etc. Basically, if it mixes booze with fruit juice, and doesn't have coconut in it, it's a winner!

Straight shots of Skyy vodka. No chasers.

Beer sucks. Wine has too many sulfites.
Me, I like Stolichnya vodka and Crown Royal.

For some strange reason, I just can't stand the taste of liquor, wether
it's beer, or hard liquor.

Stoli's is EXCELLENT.
CR is much sweeter than any other. Especially when you put it in Sundrop or Mt. Dew.

Stoli or Grey Goose Vodka when I can afford it.
I also like some good beer, Smirnov Ice (wussy but good for light drinking), and I'm partial to Southern Comfort.

I can't drink SoCo..
And Smirnoff isn't that bad, either. One of the better.
As for rum, I like Bacardi Premium, then silver, and no Bacardi O. Ronrico is the NASTIEST rum I have ever tasted... ESPECIALLY Gold label..

I'll take either a Rickard's Red, Alexander Keith's India Pale Ale, or a triple rye and coke!

Ah, my nemesis in a bottle, Jagermeister......many rounds we have danced and alwaya a drunken draw it ends up.
My favorite shot combo is a shot of chilled Jager, followed with a shot of Goldschlager with a beer chaser. Usually leaves me a gibbering mess without motor control by the end of the night
I enjoy JW Dundees Honey Brown for beer consumption, and Stoli and I are old pals, no mixing , just straight shots or right out of the bottle for me.

In my younger crazier days i used to drink Aftershock. But after some lost weekends and a time when i woke up in Scotland i decided to stick to beer or wine from now on. When i drink wine i prefer a nice Californian Red.

LOL
My drink of choice is an amaretto sour. With extra cherries. Mmmmm.
I also like vodka screwdrivers (w/Chopin vodka) and Long Island Iced Teas (when I want to get a healthy buzz on a budget), and my favourite shots are Alabama slammers and lemondrops. Nummy.
