OK, say it’s a Friday night bonfire at the campground… what are ya drinkin’? Are you cracking open a cold beer? Pouring yourself a nice glass of Merlot? Making yourself a margarita?
What we’re really asking you here is: What type of alcoholic beverage do you drink the most? What’s your go-to choice?
Hey, if we ever see you in a campground, perhaps we’ll come join you for a drink! That would be fun, wouldn’t it?
P.S. Ales in my swell frozen mugs out of my excellent 35 year old NORCOLD freezer!
Good quality Ales!….No bud or any of that other…….junk…No ales available? Good clean water, and chocolate milk in the morning…
I like a hard apple cider like Angry Orchard Crisp Apple in the warm weather. Come winter, it will probably be a glass of wine.
I selected beer, but I limit that to an occasional Ultra organic. I quit drinking major brands (Bud) many years ago after reading it can contain up to 136 different chemical compounds, similar to chemicals added to cigarettes to make them more addictive.
I have never drank alcoholic drinks and it is disgusting to me to have to communicate to someone who is under the influence.
Good bourbon – neat or on the rocks
I’m also diabetic on insulin, so no alcohol allowed. Maybe once a month or so, I will share a beer with my wife.
Not really one category. Depends on the mood. One of my favorite mixed drinks is Beam and Cream (Jim Beam and Cream Soda)
A few years ago, I was diagnosed as being diabetic. My doc said “no more alcohol”. Upon completing my physical, as he left the examination room he turned, shook his finger at me and sternly said, “remember, NO alcohol”! Prior to that, my alcohol consumption was VERY low so, totally abstaining was NO problem. These days, my beverage of choice is an Arnold Palmer made with UNsweetened iced tea.
Good for you, John! I just looked up an “Arnold Palmer” – sounds very refreshing! Take care. 🙂 –Diane
I only drink NA, Non-alcoholic beer when I’m in the mood. Tastes just the same as any beer with alcohol but I don’t get any “ill” effects because it has less alcohol than a glass of orange juice! (I’m a recovering alcoholic, 31 years)
Excellent, Craig! Keep up the good work! And have a good night. 🙂 –Diane
We like cider–hard cider; seldom go for anything else in the way of alcohol.
Coconut Rum & Mango for me .
Long Island Ice Tea for wife
At home, I drink beer. On the road we like rum&coke (after setting up camp for the evening, of course).
As a reformed alcoholic (1988) my preferred drink is coffee and plenty of water.
Two thumbs up, Richard! Way to go! Have a good evening/night. 🙂 –Diane
Way to go Richard!! I am right there with you! Last drug and drink was super bowl 1985! Now, I am only drinking water for the past 8 weeks! Soda was my indulgence but that, too, got out of hand!
Great job, Merrily! Congratulations on your huge accomplishment! Take care. 🙂 –Diane
“Other” for me because it depends on the season. In cold weather, I drink more wine.
In the summer, it’s more beer. We’re seasonal and our friend is very good at being a bartender so I’ve had my fair share of fun drinks during camping season.
I like a glass of wine in the evenings, it helps me sleep. Many years ago I had my doctor tell me that a glass of wine every evening was good for you. But then he added, “but stop at one”.
I had to think about my answer. My final answer is wine, which I thoroughly enjoy. Yet, I also enjoy a good dark beer.
I’m an occasional craft beer drinker….typically when we go out for pizza or burgers. No IPA for me, but a Belgium White or Hefeweizen goes really good with both of those foods.
I’ve never touched any kind of alcoholic beverage, and neither has my husband, nor my children. I’ve never seen anything good come from drinking, but I’ve seen lots of bad come from it.
My husband and I said many years ago that we would drink a glass of red wine a day because of health benefits. Well, we discovered we have a drinking problem, . . . we forget to drink. So I selected wine but I might have a glass one day and then not drink any more for a month or so. I do however use wine and beer in my cooking, does that count?
