Because it had to be done: What drinks do our resident Riders and associates enjoy the most? Shots, martinis, blends, what tickles your fancy?
Edit: Do not list 1 million different beers or wines.
Tryston's List
Tom Collins: Gin, Lime juice, simple syrup, tonic.
Apple Pie: double shot of apple liqueur and butterscotch schnapps with a dash of cinnamon
Fire Crotch: Take one guzzle from a bottle of Red Sourpuss and a bottle of Fireball at the same time.
Mark's Juice: Something that Mark gave me last year. He said it was juice, it tasted like rum. I didn't ask questions.

If I'm drinking beer, for the most part I'm drinking Sam Adams' delightful selection of brew.
Do I have cash to throw away? Then I'm buying a bottle of Gentleman Jack and drinking that. With ice.
Am I neither rich nor poor, but not in the mood for beer? I buy a bottle of Captain Morgan's or Captain Morgan's Tattoo (dark rum) and mix with whatever soda I have kicking around.
If I'm in Canada, I'm either drinking Rickards or Caesars.
If you're buying, or if I'm cheap, I'm drinking what you're drinking...or stealing it.

Mostly beer, I don't waste time with hard liquor.
I usually prefer Rickard's or Molson, but the Granville Island stuff here is really good.

I'm not big on liquor... So uhh.
Killians beer.
And for liquor, either Canadian Buttershots, or Vodka and whatever juice it mixes with - it doesn't matter, because I always regret vodka. Always.

Medium-to-dark beer, such as Shiner Bock, Newcastle, Guinness (but only if I get to drink it from a glass--doesn't taste right from a bottle, for some reason). Of those three, I can easily declare Shiner my favorite--it's a local-ish brew here in Texas, but I'm not certain that it's very easy to find anywhere else. It's just got everything I want out of beer.
And as far as liquor goes, I like rum of basically all kinds (Sailor Jerry's probably would be my favorite brand), Jack Daniels, and that "Irish creme" stuff, whatever it actually is. Also, love a basic gin & tonic. Very refreshing, and best drank outside on a night with good weather.
I can't say I'm much of a 'snob' as drinking goes, and if you pass me one, chances are I'll drink it just because. I don't particularly enjoy the sensation of being super-drunk, so I'm not a very heavy drinker, but I find myself really like the flavor of alcohol itself. I mix booze into a drink for the same reason I'd put hot sauce on a sandwich.
Wine is kind of love-hate for me. I'll happily drink any sort (though I lean slightly towards white over red), but that stuff hits me like a punch in the face in record time compared to other beverages. What is up with that?

Favorite beers: Boddington's, Dos Equis Ambar, Fuller's ESB, Blue Point Toasted Lager.
Drinks: Margarita.
I'm not really into straight liquor. I pretty much can only do Scotch on the rocks, which I also love. Oh, and Sri Lankan Whiskey, the devilest juicest of devil juices, imo. Think somewhere between irish whiskey and rum.
Oh, and I love wine. More on the dry/spicy side than fruity. I love Chianti, usually with some fava beans and human liver.

Store-brand diet cola. I don't drink alcohol hardly at all anymore.

I'm not so great with beer. I'll take a girly drink any day, so long as I can't taste the alcohol. Something vodka-y. Anything chocolatey or creamy is always good.
Gin & tonics are delicious.

Whiskey Sours made with Southern Comfort. And those only on rare occasions. Other'n that, I'm too sober.
