What do y'all drink?

[e_brugal]

I'm almost 17 so I drink soda. Mostly Sierra Mist, and Cherry Coke. I don't even care for beer or wine.

Yet...lol

I thought the same, when you get to 21 you'll see.

Luckily, here in the Dominican Republic you are legal age at 18

tea and coffee, mostly tea
when i was a bit younger i would go drinking a lot, but now i have no mates to go drinking with

On the subject of coffee, Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee. Nuff said. Lol

I drink a lot of Pike coffee at Starbucks. I keep the paper cup they give me and use it for as long as possible (I'll get a least a week out of a cup) to take advantage of 50 cent refills.  I never used to like coffee when I was younger, same with alcohol, but over the years I acquired a taste for both and now crave coffee everyday.

I rarely drink alcohol nowadays (probably no more than once a month) and when I do I am extremely careful not to drink too much because I used to have a drinking problem in my youth. I overcame my problem late 2006 and am proud of my sobriety. It takes me at least a couple days to finish a big beer on the rare occasion I indulge.

I work a lot and coffee is my best friend. I used to work at starbucks and thats when I got hooked because they actually make you taste all of their coffees black...all of them. Also @fritzwhite you can get a refill of a tea and ask for a double cup instead of the sleeve to avoid having to pay for a new cup .

@e_brugal I remember my first drinks in DR, Brugal Añejo and MacAlbert and a fridge full of Presidentes. I was 17

Sorry guys, but this definitely doesn't happen for everyone. My tastes have not changed one bit since I was a kid. I'm just turned 38 in January and I still have ALL of the exact same tastes I had as a kid. Can't stand alcohol or coffee AT ALL. Never been drunk, never had or will have any desire to. I drink Pepsi, Coke, Mountain Dew, and fruit juices (real and fake ones) mostly. I can't stand cold or hot coffee products. Not one thing that Starbucks sells. Anything that has the word coffee, latte, mocha, -chino or anything like that is not for me. I can't stand anything made with coffee or alcohol, including coffee ice cream or rum balls. I also never liked or will like vegetables, other than corn, potatoes or cooked carrots.

@marioxb

I got recipes that can make certain veggie plates taste like meat . I love all foods and vegetables, when i was younger that was not the case. I can't eat a meal now a days if its not accompanied by greens or roots.

But you're right I guess its not for everybody.

Nice to know you came to DR  , I drink Brugal Añejo and Extra Viejo, Brugal was my family business, it was founded by my great great grandfather in 1888 until 2009 when 60% of the actions were bought by the edrington group a Scottish company

Presidente is an excellent beer.

When you came, in which city did you stay?

Good tip, thanks

I got a bottle of Jim Beam on my 19th birthday and it went downhill from there. I can't stand the smell of sour mash now.

It's ok, everybody's different I used to love Mountain Dew but stopped drinking soda a few years ago because I thought it was unhealthy at the time and dropped a few bad habits all at once (quit smoking 2010). My mom's been drinking diet coke everyday for years and she's still healthy so I don't think it's that big deal anymore as long as it's not excessive (like a lot of things actually). I wouldn't drink Mountain Dew in the US though because it contains BVO which is banned in over 100 countries

Ha ha she sounds like a smart gal. I watched this show called "extreme cheapskates" and was entertained by all the clever and ridiculous ways people save money. Some of the folks are pretty gross though so be forewarned..

[Arseen]

Nothing more tonight.

I didn't reach perfect level of drunkness as I can still type both eyes open.

Had fun.

Good night.

Old rich lady lol. I've seen one of a man who recycles bounty paper...yea...lol

Significantly less overall than I did in my 20's (I'm 32), buuut:

I drink most types of liquor and wine, very rarely beer.  I'll drink one if it's poured for me from a pitcher, but very slowly.  If I go to a party and that's all that's there, I might grab something (likely an IPA) to not seem rude, but I would never order a beer at a bar. 

Wines depend on mood, I go with lighter/fruity wines (I love mead, for example) if I intend to drink something by itself, but if I'm drinking something with/before/after dinner, it tends to be a heavier red, something along the lines of cabernet sauvignon.

Liquors, I'll drink most anything.  Not a huge fan of tequilla except in margaritas.  My go-to is various whiskeys, scotch if you're really offering me whatever I want.

I wish I was drinking right now, buuuuut I'm at work (where I recently discovered this forum is not blocked... must.  not.  spam.)
