hard to choose just one innit.
beer goes down awesomely sometimes, sometimes it's just not the right thing. GnT is a massive favourite, love a good scotch, rum, cocktails are good (occasionally
), wine with food ftw.
fuck me, I'm an alcoholic!

The Rum of Captain Morgan
Following the death of Captain Henry Morgan during an expedition to the Caribbean, Morgan's body was preserved in a cask of rum to allow transport back to England. Upon arrival, the cask was opened and found to be empty of rum. The pickled body was removed and upon inspection, it was discovered that the sailors had drilled a hole in the bottom of the cask and drank all the rum and in the process drinking Morgan's blood. This tale serves as a basis for Morgan's Blood being used to describe the rum.
During the 80's Captain Morgan's slogan was "Got a little Captain in You?"

i taught myself to love beer when i was growing up in SA and coopers was our staple food.
but for some reason lately it makes me tired > even a copule! wtf is up with that?
i dont drink brown spirits either
LOVE a good vodka, with soda and fresh lime, least sugar and crap of any drink imo.
LOVE a good g&T, especially in hot weather
LOVE a tasty interesting cocktail but lets face it, you can drink em all night.
bonus points for
chambourd anything
cranberry juice
extra lime
tall glasses

Veuve Cliquot champagne for me please [and a happy occassion to drink it].
love the sound of your espresso martini's J! I havent had a good one since Chez Phat closed. Used to have a ritual of having them there.
all other alcoholic drinks depend on occassion and/or food for me....

according to their website, hendricks and tonic should ONLY have cucumber, no lime...
I agree, as I didn't really like it the first time I had it (with lime)... now I love it more than life
