Give Me Your Opinion


This week, I'd like you to "Give Me Your Opinion" on drinking.
Beer.
Mixed Drinks.
Wine.
You name it.
Do you drink? When?
What is your beverage of choice?
Tell me.
I only drink on occasion. Now. In my younger years (pre-kids) I drank more often. Mostly beer back then. Coronas usually. With lime :)
Now, not so much. However, if I get the itch for a drink, it's usually a margarita for me.

I don't drink, although I will taste a beverage if someone says it is something special.

I gave up a year ago, before coming to Finland. I'm widely regarded as being insane for doing so, as alcohol is so popular here. However, after being sober and seeing the state of everyone else on a Friday night, I have a very different opinion of how 'clever' it is.

I did all my drinking in my teenage years, then got bored of it. By the time it came to quitting, I barely touched alcohol anyway.

I drink a glass of red wine with dinner maybe every other night. I need to cut back even more though because of my blood pressure. It's too bad though...I really love wine:-)

Hi! I tagged you for a meme, so come on over to my place to read why.

I drink but not that often. Maybe once or twice a month. My beverages of choice are red wine or margaritas.

I was never a drinker, even through high school, college and young adult life. We recently began having a few drinks on weekends--maybe once a month or so--usually just here at the house. I hate beer, so usually I will drink wine or we will make frozen drinks--love a fuzzy navel.

I don't drink often...just like you, I have kids ;) When I drink, I like red wine...my favorite cocktail is Kir Royal (champagne with Kir liquor). Oh, I do love margaritas...but only on hot sunny days with some good Mexican grub!

I don't drink anymore. It gives me a really nasty stomach ache about half way through a drink.

When I could drink, I usually went for girly drinks like sex on the beach.

Were you reading my mind? After a night out with some friends last night, I was just thinking about a possible post about drinking and why I don't drink.

Most nights I have a glass of red wine with dinner.

Weekends we love our mimosa's with a huge brunch.

I also love a little (okay huge, who am I kidding) Bailey's before bed ... maybe once a week as a treat.

There is a place I love called Tropical Liquors. You walk in and they have aprox 20 machines making some frozen drink. I love the Toasted Almond, it is coffee Liquor with ice cream. But my triglycerides are over 485. I can't drink them anymore. Maybe once every few months. Maybe.

WheresMyAngels said...

Oh, did you ever get pictures of your brother dressed as Richard Simmon's. I'm dying to see them:)

I drink. I very much enjoy my alcoholic bevs. I will not drink swill (cheap beer, wine or liquor) just to have alcohol. Life is just too short. It's like food. Why eat junk food when good food is readily available?
If I had the money, I would probably have good wine on a daily basis.

Dawn said...

I drink on the weekends sometimes and I love frozen daiquiris. If there is wine in my fridge, I have a glass if I think about it in the evenings.

Dawn said...

I am officially tagging you to do the purse meme!!!

Mom said...

I hardly ever drink but when I do it's either Coors light or Crown and coke.

Nanny Goats In Panties said...

My beverage of choice is Diet Coke.
However, if I'm out with friends I will have one glass of red wine. Any more than that and I'm on the floor.

Lula! said...

My favorite is Land Shark--with lime. Or Stella Artois--with lime. Or Corona Light--with lime!

Yes, I am a beer girl.

But I also love wine...Zinfandel is my fave. (Not the crappy pink kind--red Zinfandel.) I also love Pinot Noir.

I'm not big on mixed drinks...or liquor. Now I do love me a Bloody Mary every now and then. Yeesh, I sound like a total lush!

OK, so there's my opinion!

Heather said...

I don't drink too often and I don't like the taste of wine or beer, but a tasty frozen margarita is called for in some situations.

Sooz said...

I don't drink that much, just on occasion going out (which isn't often enough anymore!), or in sitting down with a glass of wine at home from time to time. Red wine usually...sometimes Corona or a microbrew. The hard liquor doesn't sit well with my tummy anymore, unless it's hidden in a yummy margarita LOL.

Would appear I'm late with a response. Nothing new !!! My beverage of choice totally depends upon my mood. Hot, hot summer day. Nothing better than an ice cold Mickey's. Now it has to be a Big Mouth Mickey's, not the 22oz Hornet.

On vacation in Mexcio, it's (i'm so going to butcher the spelling) Muchaleta'....basically it's ice, beer, lemon juice and salt around the rim. Sounds fould, but is so NOT !!!

If'm i'm out with my girls, it's Lemondrops !!!!

nikkicrumpet said...

I am a HEAVY DRINKER..in fact it is frightening the amount I put away every single day....the people who serve me at my haunts know me by heart...and know exactly what I'll order....There are empty containers everywhere...in fact there are two right now on my computer desk.....Oh Cocacola...how could you do this to me. I rue the day I ever sipped your sugary, bubbly goodness. My name is Nikki...and I am a McDonalds coke-a-holic. I've never tried the other stuff...no wine, beer, or alchoholic beverages for me...my one true love has my heart..and always will. I will never forsake you!

Tena said...

I only drink on the nights I go out with the girls. Maybe 1-2 a month, if that. I don't really enjoy beer, but I will try anything at least once. I do enjoy my booze when I get to have it, but I don't normally keep it at home.

Anonymous said...

Do I really need to tell you what I drink?! I favor my martinis because they are lighter than beer and don't give me too much of a headache like wine, although I still enjoy a really nice white wine with dinner. But martinis rock! Especially mine!!!

Ashley said...

Ooooh - yum! All of those look great! Margaritas are a must for Mexican food! I also love the occasional cosmo (cranberry and vodka) and rum & coke (when I was on WW I could have diet coke and light rum for only 1 point each - life saver)!

Rhea said...

I rarely (like twice a year?) drink. Alcohol just doesn't agree with me. Wine gives me headaches. I like margaritas and fuzzy navels though. Fruity drinks.

Kelly said...

I am hooked on vodka tonics...so good..and also Cape cods..with tons of lemon..
De-lish...
NAd besides,,cranberry juice is good for us girlies...
hahah

Kelly said...

Could you tell I had been drinking? I mis-spelled and...hahah

Claremont First Ward said...

I don't drink alcoholic beverages at all. I don't even drink caffeine. I'm pretty much an ice water kind of gal. :)
