You are at a bar or Tavern, right now. What drink will you order ? Mine is a beer; or sparkling soda.

[debm55]

[Dale in Laurel MD]

1. Probably an IPA.

nt

[debm55]

51. Thanks.

[lapfog_1]

2. diet pepsi

or diet coke
or water

It's all I can drink... and i really shouldn't have the diet soda

[debm55]

9. I take meds that help me sleep. I very very very seldom drink. If I took that beer, it would be my first alcoholic

drink this year.

[AKwannabe]

83. Um...

It’s only the 6th day!

[debm55]

52. Can't drink either.

[getagrip_already]

3. Seltzer, unless the news is on and it is saying

That stinky has passed over the shitstain bridge and has soiled his last depends.

Then it's patron for the house.

[debm55]

10. OMG that is funny

[RoadRunner]

4. Modelo Oro

Por favor

[debm55]

53. Thank you, Road Runner.

[Glorfindel]

5. Vodka collins, margarita, or the like.

Nothing too complicated.

[debm55]

54. Sounds good. TY Glorfindel

[Ocelot II]

6. A New Zealand Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, probably Nobilo, Kim Crawford, or Cupcake.

Monkey Bay is OK, too. None are extremely expensive but quite drinkable. I like the New Zealand sauvs because they have a little grapefruity overtone.

[debm55]

55. I read that the New Zealand wines are pretty good. TY

[Laura PourMeADrink]

56. So unusual..out of entire wine world to pick NZ

Close to heart? Or great and the world should know about?

[Ocelot II]

62. They have an unusual and very nice grapefruity note that I like a lot.

I've never been to New Zealand (though I'd like to go), so no special attachment; I just like the wine.

[Hekate]

121. Costco's wine selection covers a wide swath of the world. I've discovered Australian & NZ wines...

…very drinkable wines at an acceptable price.

There’s awfully good California wines at my store as well — although I don't know if Costco ships much of our wines across to the rest of the country. I’ll have to ask my sis in upstate New York about that.

[OAITW r.2.0]

7. Depends on the time of day and season.

AM/noon - Gin Bloody Mary
PM - Gin and Tonic (Summer)
PM - CabSav (Fall/Winter)
PM - IPA (Fall/Winter)
Nightcap - Baileys or Kaluha, on the rocks.

Though it's been a couple of years since my last bar visit...

[debm55]

57. Ohthank you for the selection, It does sound good.

[OAITW r.2.0]

71. It's about pacing yourself.

Spent time in China, Taiwan, Japan, and Indonesia. None are nearly the same; Doing Business obligatory drinking/partying....youngers (like me), expected to hurt ourselves - alcohol wise.

The trick. Start with a G&T, next Tonic and Lime, then G&T, repeat. Drinking rate 1/2 of my Chinese brethren.

Learn Lying Dice,,,,you can forget about language difficulties if you can play and win at this game of dice numbers and dishonesty - all you need are fingers, That is it, Your fingers talk for you...show numbers and then we see if you are lying,....if you want to win.

I had so many great nights at Friend's Bar in Zhongshan, PRC,,,early investor, always drank free. But learned to play Lyin' Dice and made a whole bunch of local Chinese friends,

[debm55]

96. Thanks for the information OAITW r.2,0

[50 Shades Of Blue]

8. Gin & tonic, or a glass of Moscato

[sakabatou]

21. I love Moscato

[debm55]

58. Very good. Thank you.

[debm55]

97. Sounds good. Thank you 50 Shades of Blue.

[rsdsharp]

11. In a bar? Single malt, probably Glenfiddich 12.

[debm55]

59. Thank you, rsdsharp

[Polly Hennessey]

12. A Gimlet. It was also popular with the Roaring Twenties crowd.

“Gin thankfully has its roots as a healing libation.
Gin was first discovered as the flavor-cutting and buzz-creating malaria treatment in the Gin and Tonic. Then, as a way to deliver much needed Vitamin C to sailors, gin rose to the occasion AGAIN in the classic Gimlet gin cocktail with the pairing of gin and lime. One might wonder, could they just eat an orange? Sure, but what’s the fun in that?“

I love it with Rose’s Lime Juice

[debm55]

60. That sounds great. Thanks for the information.

[nocoincidences]

13. In a bar,

my goto drink is a bock beer, like Shiner or Amber Bock.

My hard liquor preference always involves Tequila. I love a well-constructed Bloody Maria, but in my youth I was even known to eat the worm.

At home, I drink light wine, with negligible alcohol impact.

It has been too long since I had a Bloody Maria. Just talking about it is reminding me how good it tastes.

[debm55]

61. In my youth, eating the worm was good luck. Thanks

[yellowdogintexas]

84. Love Bloody Maria! Prefer Margarita on the rocks, with salt and extra lime

However, I usually order red wine. We have a bring your own wine Italian place nearby and red wine is what I take.

I do like a good gin and tonic, and I also like plain tonic and lime. I used to go to big parties and order a G & T then spend the rest of the evening with plain tonic.and lime.
Folks thought I was a serious drinker too because they thought I was still drinking it with the gin!

[debm55]

98. That is funny. I do drink tonic and lime. No alcohol.except for an occasional beer. TY

[MOMFUDSKI]

14. Bourbon Old Fashioned

Presbyterian. That is half sweet soda and half club soda. Cherry and orange slice please. Cheers!

[bottomofthehill]

16. I am with you.

One big cube

[debm55]

63. that sounds good.

[debm55]

99. That sounds good, I will have to try it. TY

[doc03]

15. Guinness or Yuengling Lager

[malthaussen]

25. Yuengling has a decent Black and Tan...

... but not one you'd find most places.

-- Mal

[doc03]

33. I like that too but don't see it often. I don't care for IPAs and Budweiser has

has no flavor.

[debm55]

64. I liked the Yuengling Lager when I drank.

[debm55]

101. Sounds good. Thank you.

[thatcrowwoman]

17. Ginger Beer (no alcohol) or a Margarita easy on the salt (tequila!)

🕊🩵💫🎶thatcrowwoman

[Niagara]

19. I'm out in a bar/tavern/drinking establishment?

Alright.


I'm sipping on virgin strawberry daiquiri's with sugar on the rim ....yum!


I'm not much of a drinker. There's no particular reason why I'm not a drinker, it's just that I always preferred smoking marijuana over drinking alcohol even during my teen years.


Anyways, if I'm in a bar, you'll find me most likely smoking a (that's one and only one) Swisher Sweets Cigar and I'll be playing a game or five at the Shuffleboard table since that's my jam.

[debm55]

66. Loved strawberry daiquiris. Yummy. TY.

[AKwannabe]

85. Nice table

I’m not half bad at shuffle

[Niagara]

86. This table is on my "when I get rich" wish list, AKwannabe.

I'd love to play a game or 10 of shuffleboard with you!

[sakabatou]

20. Cape Cod

[debm55]

69. Used to have when we visited MA. TY

[yellowdogintexas]

22. Margarita, rocks, salt on the rim and extra lime

Or red wine

[debm55]

100. Thank you yellowdogintexas.

[Grasswire2]

23. tonic with extra lime nt

[debm55]

105. Thank you, Grasswire2.

[malthaussen]

24. What's on tap?

It won't be lager, I hate lager. But ales are always good.

-- Mal

[debm55]

67. HAHA thanks

[The Blue Flower]

26. Tonic with a twist of lime

Haven't had an alcoholic drink in decades.

[RainCaster]

29. Sounds perfect to me

Although I will often order an Arnold Palmer, unsweetened.

[debm55]

49. Yum. Thank you.

[debm55]

50. Me either, since I went on meds. I might have a Bloody Mary for New Years eve. I make it with Clamato Juice. It will be

my first and last drink in 2023

[debm55]

[debm55]

44. Used to love Margarita on the rocks with salsa and chips on the side.Enjoy

[ariadne0614]

34. Last night at 5:37pm, I was at home, drinking what I would order at a bar--

A Poet’s Dream, in a Nick & Nora glass.

[debm55]

43. That sounds good. I hope you enjoyed.

[LuckyCharms]

35. A bottle of spring water.

[debm55]

42. Me too or tea.

[coprolite]

36. A beer from a local brewery on tap

Preferably a lager or Hefewiezen.

[debm55]

41. Sounds good. Enjoy.

[ProfessorGAC]

37. Depends For Me

If it's a wine bar, one glass of red is enough.
If I'm seeing a band in a club, probably a Bloody Mary.
If I'm not in the mood for a drink, tonic water with lime.

[debm55]

40. I miss Bloody Mary drinks. I made mine with Clamato juice. Thank you and have a happy 2024.

[beaglelover]

38. Probably a margarita on the rocks no salt. It's the only hard alcohol drink I drink.

I'm usually a Chardonnay drinker, but I do love a good margarita once in a while.

[debm55]

39. Before meds, those two were my drinks. Thank you and happy 2024

118. As an aside

Thank you for all of your posts on here, i always have a lot of fun

[debm55]

119. Thank you very much my friend.

[Diamond_Dog]

78. No wine drinkers here?

My first choice would be a buttery Chardonnay. For a mixed drink, gin and tonic with a slice of lime.

Irish coffee is wonderful on a cold day.

I like Yuengling Black and Tan but stopped drinking it after I read that the owner of Yuengling is a Trump supporter and donor.

[debm55]

94. I like your selection of drinks. Very good and thank you. Didn;t know about Yuengling and Trump.

[Sailingdiver]

79. highball

Old fashion or daiquiri (traditional)

[debm55]

93. the daiquiri sounds great. thank you Sallingdiver.

[AKwannabe]

Tecate with lime.

beer:

[debm55]

92. AKwannabe, thank you for your suggestions.

[FuzzyRabbit]

81. Root beer

Henry Weinhardt root beer if they have it.

If they don't have any root beer then one of their own brews.

And if they don't brew any beer, then any stout ale will do. Even Guiness.

[debm55]

91. Fuzzy, thank you for the list.

[Wolf Frankula]

82. Brewpub within 10 minutes walk from my house

Jaromir Lagr, Czech style pilsner...

Wolf

Cheers!

[Chainfire]

114. Seltzer with lime, stirred, not shaken.

[debm55]

115. Thank you Chainfire, Is seltzer different from tonic water?

[Chainfire]

116. Yes, it is different. Tonic water has additives such as quinine. Seltzer is water and CO2.

[debm55]

117. I think I will try with the seltzer. TY

[Hekate]

120. A pint of Guinness

I am not a bar person, but the 2 times I toured Ireland, pubs were part of the itinerary, and I really got to like Guinness. The foam is as dense as whipped cream.

[debm55]

125. Sounds good, Yummy

[retread]

122. I would ask for directions. If I'm in a bar or tavern, I must be lost.

[debm55]

126. Hahaha

[Chakaconcarne]

123. Dirty martini, 6 slow shakes in lots of ice

I've yet to order one from a bar that tops what I can make.

[Jilly_in_VA]

129. It varies

A Bloody Mary most of the year, a Vodka Collins in the summer, a glass of wine if it's late at night.

[debm55]

132. That sounds good but I can't drink because of mt meds, I would like a Bloody Mary.
