What's Your Favorite Drink?
I'm speaking of the alcoholic variety, of course. I've always been a bourbon and coke guy, but I'm thinking of branching out, and I could use some suggestions. This past Monday, I was exposed to a diabolical concoction of blueberry vodka and lemonade that was so easy to drink you could be unconscious before you even knew you were drunk. Diabolical.
A better job awaits

kahlua and Cream for pure enjoyment and taste, Belvedere dirty martini for style and Jack and Coke to get a buzz...
I suspect I would have severe problems with Kahlua stomachwise. At least after drinking a half dozen or so. It's to my great shame that I've never had a martini. Perhaps I should try classing it up a bit.
If you don't mind the pine tree taste, but aren't quite ready for a straight up martini, I would suggest trying a gimlet (gin and lime juice are the only ingredients).
My personal favorites are: Guinness, a glass (or bottle) of a good Bordeaux, vodka and 7, Cosmopolitans with Cointreau (instead of with triple sec), and Maker's and Coke.
I went through a brief gimlet phase. They have the advantage of being easy to make. If a drink requires more than two steps, my drunk mind isn't likely to hang with it for long.
Chocolate martinis are a lot of fun. And mint juleps are great. But if we ever get a nice warm sunny day, have a gin and lemonade.
Whiskey sours and Manhattans from the Red Key are my favorites; they're truly something special.
An authentic margarita made with 100% agave tequila, Cointreau and fresh squeezed lime juice.
if you want something easy to drink, i would suggest any flavored vodka and soda water with just a sqeeze of lime. it's crisp and refreshing and has no alcoholic taste whatsoever. beware, you'll be on your ass before you know it!
For beer, I like Guinness or "The Black" from Brugge. For liquor, I usually go with gin & tonics or dirty martinis. My friends always make a big deal about how I like to drink things that are "hard to like". I can't stand really sweet drinks...they mess with my stomach for some reason.

Given my recent experience with lemonade, I'm going to assume that this is a good, if somewhat dangerous idea. Isn't that what Snoop Dogg drinks?

I generally agree. If you're planning on drinking a lot (and who the hell isn't?) the sweet stuff can play havoc with your innards.

Me and Snoop Dogg -- what a hoot! But I'm guessing my pitchers of gin and lemonade aren't quite as strong as his.
They're great to drink out on the deck on a warm, sunny day, even though my fuzzy memories of drinking hairy buffaloes in college confirms the generally good advice of not mixing fruit juice with booze.
I generally stick to wine. Usually red. Maybe rose for spring. Although there's a sweet, easy-drinking white that's fun for summertime: Alice White's Lexia (inexpensive and available at grocery stores).
Typically it's whatever is in front of me. If I have a choice, manhattan, whiskey and coke or the old standby beer.
I'm originally from N.E. Ohio. I use to go to a small bar there, and one of the bartender's would make what she called 'Duck Farts'. I know sounds grooossss. It's quite yummy. Almost like a chocolate milk shake. Its made in a blender with Bailey's, Kahlua, Crown and ice. Delicious. When its made just right, you couldn't taste any alcohol. And would be done for the night very quickly!!
