For myself to drink - G&T. Or Vodka & tonic. Or tonic. There is a theme!

I've never ordered wine for myself.

fourelementary · 01/09/2025 19:33

G and T
Or anything with vodka
or a cocktail or mocktail

I’m a pint type of gal really… or wine sometimes.

AnOldCynic · 01/09/2025 19:40

I’ve had all of these 😂. Can’t think what I’ve not tried…

Sourisblanche · 01/09/2025 19:41

Lager Tops.

SodOffbacktoaibu · 01/09/2025 19:43

@AnOldCynic spot the Gen X drinkers, I bet! I'm struggling to think of one too 😂

Amaretto..maybe .. because I am allergic 🤔🫣

TigerRag · 01/09/2025 19:43

Prosecco

ohyesido · 01/09/2025 19:45

Gin and tonic. Vodka and tonic, yuk

ImWearingPantaloons · 01/09/2025 19:52

Jagermeister. God knows why it’s so popular.

R0ckandHardPlace · 01/09/2025 19:53

Tequila

SpottyAardvark · 01/09/2025 20:05

Snowball. A cocktail comprising advocaat & lime cordial topped up with lemonade & served with a maraschino cherry on a stick. I have never ordered one, or drunk one (I assume they taste disgusting) but I have mixed hundreds.

When I was working in local pubs in my home town back in the late 80s, snowballs were very popular with ladies of a certain age who were enjoying a Saturday night out with their husbands. They were perceived as a more sophisticated ‘ladies’ drink’ than beer or cider, but less posh than a G&T. Nobody drank wine in working class pubs in those days.

SodOffbacktoaibu · 01/09/2025 20:41

Oh some pps have mentioned ones I've not had. I wasn't as much of a lush as I thought when I used to go to the pub 🙂

Yes. Snowball and jagermeister. Not had those.

I remember when vodka and orange could be orange cordial unless you specified! 😆

CosyNavyLeader · 01/09/2025 20:44

Ive probably tried most things.

But I would only ever drink/order 3 drinks out of choice.

Wine
Beer/lager
G&T

I don't like anything else.

KelsCommemorativeSausage · 01/09/2025 20:48

Oh I've drunk a lot in my time but I've never ordered wine for myself, or prosecco.

TheDandyLion · 01/09/2025 20:48

Lager. However I have poured many thousand in my lifetime.

RaininSummer · 01/09/2025 20:52

Anything with coke in it or anything blue or green.

LemonySippet · 01/09/2025 20:54

G&T or a glass of wine 🤢

twilightcafe · 01/09/2025 20:55

I hate Pernod - so a Snakebite!

Tequila slammer
Shots

BobbinThreadbare123 · 01/09/2025 20:56

Anything G&T or V&T or whisky. Blegh!
