![]() | I don't care for beer much, except sometimes with lunch when I am on holiday. Wine is my favourite poison and the only wine I really dislike is Retsina.

![]() | [img]images/smilies/default/tongue.gif[/img] Well having just finnished rather nice Merlot I would have to say red wine however, if you are buying then I would drink 'almost' anything (and I have...lol). But I do like a good Guiness, sometimes with a tot of port just to take the edge off!!! Irish whisky is near the top also, Bush Mills, or a nice Scottish Lagavulin. Need I say more???????? Always enjoyed the Sgt's mess port!!!!! ![]()

![]() | Bitter if I'm in a pub - Spitfire will do nicely, otherwise Courage Directors. Southern Comfort or Scotch if I'm at home. With a meal, wine: anything will do it all tastes the same to me. At University in Guildford over twenty years ago when I wasn't driving and could cope with hangovers, Gales HSB or draught Cider at the Ram in Godalming. Can't get any of those in my corner of London these days. Adrian
