I am a beer man myself. I like Stella Artois and James Boag's premium. But for a warm day, nothing is better than a Corona with a slice of lemon

"You were given the choice between war and dishonor.
You chose dishonor and you will have war."

(Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.)

Nothing better than having a beer (preferably a Labatt Blue Light) after a late night shift whilst reading my favorite forum.

I'll also drink a Schminoff Raspberry Twist Vodka, mixed with either orange juice, coke or ginger ale. (you have to be careful with that one, it sneeks up on you)

Sorry about this, but I'm a tee-totaler. Not by chice, but i just can't handle alcohol (except for whisky). So this is what i do. A chocolate bar followed by at least 3 Pepsi's in under an hour, and then wait for the buzz. Oh yeah, hyper for the next eight hours!

I'm a bitter man myself (and twisted, but that's another story ) , the Banks in my local is quite good. Will share a bottle of wine with the other half, but I'm also partial to a bottle of Bateman's Victory Ale from the local supermarket when at home.

Cheers (hic!)

A nice cold Herforder when I'm here or a good pint of real Bitter when I'm home in the UK.

If I fancy a short it'll be Jim Beam and Ginger for a nice sipping drink.
