Which alcoholic drink is your ‘go to’ when sitting at home relaxing on a weekend watching Saturday night takeaway? (other programmes are available.)
I’ve just opened a bottle of Prosecco for myself and wondering what others drink at home. 🙂

Nice glass of merlot here. Always have a bottle sitting for a sat evening Wine

Dazedandconfused10 · 29/02/2020 19:55

I have some wine. It varies though! I've been cutting out beer though so wine for now or cocktails when my bartender friend is round.

Fizz if friends are around (otherwise it goes flat by the next day)
G&T with DH
Wine by myself, vacuum seal it for the next day

I don’t drink at home. DH likes a beer. There’s usually some beer in the fridge.

BelfastNonBlonde · 29/02/2020 19:59

Gin

At 7 months pregnant I miss gin..

PrettyLittleLiar20 · 29/02/2020 20:00

I used to finish a bottle of rose wine on a Friday by myself but I’ve got sick of it. I do drink vodka if I’m out but it would feel weird drinking a vodka by myself watching the telly! I only came to like Prosecco in the last few months. Also rose Prosecco is lovely but you can’t find it everywhere!

Pinot or chardonnay usually. Sometimes beer - punk ipa or something like that

PurpleDaisies · 29/02/2020 20:41

Depends on my mood. Usually, a glass of red wine, a gin and tonic or a bottle of becks.

LittleBearPad · 29/02/2020 20:41

Red wine - 🍷

delilahbucket · 29/02/2020 20:43

It varies. Homemade cider this evening. Sometimes vodka, sometimes gin, rum, white wine, red wine, rose wine, prosecco, dp has made a rather nice raspberry Framboise. We also have liqueurs in like Bailey's. Then there's the alcohol free options we often have in too. Endless choice! Anyone would think we were alcoholics but the reality is we drink usually two days a week tops.

Waxonwaxoff0 · 29/02/2020 20:43

Prosecco, fruit cider or vodka and coke.

I don't like wine, gin or beer.

Ninkanink · 29/02/2020 20:44

It depends. I like Prosecco, especially with nibbles.

I’ve gone off piste tonight with a rosé Spumante.

If we’re having it with dinner it’s usually a red - most often a merlot, Shiraz or Malbec.

I also like a gin and tonic, or a martini, or a negroni.

We also have a hot chocolate with a double shot of amaretto most evenings.

Ninkanink · 29/02/2020 20:45

Oh yes beer if we’re having a curry, or tex mex, or fried chicken.

PrettyLittleLiar20 · 29/02/2020 20:45

Yuck! Hot alcoholic drinks!

Usually a glass of red

Used to be white but now it all tastes a bit vinegary to me

Do like cider when out

Gin is usually at Christmas and someone always buys me Bailey's which I don't like , the red velevet one recently brought out left such a weird taste in my mouth

Boredbumhead · 29/02/2020 20:47

Gin and tonic, but have run out of tonic, so having the last of the Xmas baileys tonight, now kids have finally gone quiet upstairs.

WhatDoIDooDIoDtahW · 29/02/2020 20:49

Either white wine or a gin and tonic. Pink g&t with fruit and ice or violet g&t with pink peppercorns and Ice.

Off to pour myself another! Chin chin ladies!

raspberryk · 29/02/2020 20:49

Gin and tonic, can't be opening wine as it's only me that drinks it and I get fed up of having to drink the whole bottle.
Baileys or amaretto sometimes too.

AhoyMrBeaver · 29/02/2020 20:51

Usually wine, sometimes cider. I had a Dr Pepper this evening Smile

Gogolego · 29/02/2020 20:53

A well stocked spirits cabinet and plenty of mixers
Several bottles of red, white and rose wine
A wide range of cider, larger and beer

Just had a g&t about to have a glass of wine

lauryloo · 29/02/2020 20:53
