Same here. Single malt.

[DaveP043]

Wow, so many to choose from

Red wine, and I think Italian reds are accessible, reasonably priced, and good with food

Beer, or more properly, Ale.  I like pale ales and IPAs, but I think the hop thing is beginning to be overdone.  My home club keeps Sierra Nevada Pale Ale on tap, and that's just fine with me.

In hot weather, Tanqueray gin, Schweppes Tonic, and lime.

Single malt whisky, my favorite is Caol Ila, a gently peaty Islay malt.  Nothing wrong with good bourbon whiskey either.

That's my wife's wine. She drinks that or cherry juice, vodka and sour.

I'm not a gin guy but I concur. 

Go to is usually a single malt Scotch. I like variety so can be peaty and salty or smooth. Glenlivet 12 is an excellent average Scotch (if that makes sense) for the price. I always have a bottle of 18 year old something or other though (currently Glenmorangie) and usually a bottle of Islay (currently Laphroaig) for when want something different. If mixing then J&B Scotch and club soda. That was my go to drink forever, it's nicely light and crisp. Usually like a porter or stout during the cooler months. I agree that the hop thing is going overboard. During summer it's hard to beat a margarita on the rocks when playing in the pool. 

[NJpatbee]

Lagavulin 16 year single malt on the rocks (sorry purists).  For an occasional bourbon Manhattan I prefer Four Roses Single Barrel.

 

[Brewbob]

Laphroaig Single Malt for me! or maybe Johnny Black, for beers, I prefer German lagers 

[Kalnoky]

Pikesville Straight Rye Whiskey neat, if I can find it.. 110 proof. Excellent.

Famous Grouse Scotch Whisky is a good affordable blend. 

Most craft-brewed IPA's. 

Not above having a Bud Light or a Coors Light on a hot day

I *do not* drink wine or champagne 

[Ernest Jones]

No love for Talisker on here? For shame!

I had a Scottish friend, and the Famous Grouse (The low flyer as he and his mates often referred to it) was his every-day favorite whisky, for good reason.

[Golfingdad]

I am not that big of a hard liquor fan, so I usually drink red wine.

If I am having a mixed drink, I'll go with a gin and tonic.

I came to Caol Ila through Talisker.  One of the great things about visiting Scotland is the vast knowledge of many of the barmen there.  Looking for a gently peated single malt, I had tried Talisker one evening, and liked it.  On a subsequent evening, I mentioned that to a different barman, and asked if there was something with just a bit less peat, he recommended Caol Ila, and now I'm hooked.  Another slightly peaty malt that I like as well is Ardbeg , which I was told was very big with the German visitors.  

[RussUK]

Either Jack Daniels or Amaretto (or both together!)

Unfiltered Ardbeg is a personal favourite. 

[AbsoluteTruths]

Michelob Ultra since going low carb. Norcal margarita.

And for the eggnog for the season. You have to try Evan Williams Eggnog. Just the right amount of sweet and alcohol.

[saevel25]

Either Bourbon or some sort of Bourbon cocktail like a Manhatten.
