And has it changed as you've gotten older?
I was a half a cider/alcopop girl in my teens and early twenties Blush I love very dry potent Sauvignon Blanc these days (hence my user name) with the occasional v&t or g&t

Was originally a Jack Daniels drinker now have mostly moved on to gin, white wine and malt whisky.

Tunnocks34 · 20/04/2019 18:32

Red wine. Preferably Shiraz.

Also, this weather is making me really crave an ice cold beer, alas, I am 6 months pregnant and unable to enjoy the delights, so made myself a fruity cocktail using pineapple juice, ice and crushed strawberries.

Vodka (double) and slimline tonic for me, I didn't drink alcohol for years and this always hits the spot.

iklboo · 20/04/2019 18:38

80s - cinzano & lemonade
90s - depth charge (shot of Pernod dropped into a pint of cider)
00s - vodka, wine, cider
10s - mainly wine & gin

Sexnotgender · 20/04/2019 18:39

Pernod and ciderConfused urgh that sounds vomit inducing.

Gronky · 20/04/2019 18:39

Neat vodka (I space it out with water but don't mix it with anything in the glass). Raises a few eyebrows at parties but I genuinely like the taste/sensation. It has to be the right vodka, Finlandia is my current favourite.

SauvingnonBlanketyBlanc · 20/04/2019 18:42

@Sexnotgender please tell me you dont mean mixed!

It was after about four Grin

PutTheBunnyBackInTheBox · 20/04/2019 18:46

Late teens Taboo.
20's pints of cider.
30's Smirnoff Ice.
Now it's neat Southern Comfort with plenty of ice or vodka and orange juice. Or if I'm feeling fancy or on holiday a mojito goes down lovely Smile

Coldilox · 20/04/2019 18:47

Gin and tonic for me. I have about a dozen different gins.

I don’t like wine or beer at all

Nuttyaboutnutella · 20/04/2019 18:49

Late teens/early 20s: mostly vodka and lemonade.

Mid 20s/now: mostly wine and whisky

bananasandwicheseveryday · 20/04/2019 18:51

It depends on what I fancy at the time. In my mid teens it was martini /cinzano and lemonade and then brandy and babycham. Since my twenties though, I've been drinking either red wine (Merlot for preference) or malt whisky. Can't see the need for anything else!

DrMadelineMaxwell · 20/04/2019 18:53

Pernod, blackcurrant and lemonade.

Cider if out with friends as cheaper.

I drank white lightning in my 20s.

EnglishRose13 · 20/04/2019 18:53

Alcopops or vodka, lime and lemonade when I was younger.

Now Amaretto or gin.

I really don't like wine or beer.

Inthetropics · 20/04/2019 18:54

I've always been a fan of wine and caipinhas.

Inthetropics · 20/04/2019 18:55

Should've been Caipirinhas!

Sexnotgender · 20/04/2019 18:55

Oh definitely not mixed!

Nice gin and tonic
Crisp white preferably South African
Smooth malt whisky, ideally sherry casked and from speyside.

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 20/04/2019 18:56

Always been Southern Comfort for me (with Canada Dry and a slice of orange)

I haven't drunk any alcohol for over 10 years but if I did , it would be the same .

SauvingnonBlanketyBlanc · 20/04/2019 18:56

Taboo and lemonade! That was a regular of mine too.I hate sweet booze now

Magmatic80 · 20/04/2019 18:56

Vodka and Diet Coke. Has to be single and in a tall glass, Makes me sad when people think they’re doing me a favour by ordering a double for me. I love the taste and single in a tall glass is the perfect balance. No flipping lemon either, yak.

I drink whisky and ginger ale when out dancing though once a year as I don’t drink coffee so the caffeine stops me sleeping when the party’s over Grin

I drank archers and lemonade when I was young but moved to vodka quite quickly. Partial to IPA too, but it makes me sleepy. Never ever drink wine and hate gin.

Thepacksurvives · 20/04/2019 18:58

I drank Malibu and coke until I had dd at 24. Since then I rarely drink but it'll be prosecco or a mojito when on a night out or days like today it's cider in the garden

BrokenWing · 20/04/2019 19:01

bulliet bourbon or captain morgans with diet coke. Vodka with anything. Wine if just out for a meal, can't cope with the wine hangover if I drink it all night

Ellapaella · 20/04/2019 19:01

Red wine or Prosecco these days.
In my younger days I drank lager.

campista · 20/04/2019 19:02

A nice cold bottle of Budweiser. A prosecco if not.

Tunnocks34 · 20/04/2019 19:04

As a teenager I used to drink bottles of VK and pints of cider and black 🤢
