The "Battle of the Gods" thread caught my eye, and perhaps I'm in an odd mood today, but ... what do you prefer as a drink? When you kick back, totally relaxed, feet up, what's there on the table next to you?

I'm a beer & ale person, the specific kind depends on the time of year. Right now, with the temperature in the high 90s F (say between 32 and 38 for those of the Celsius persuasion), it's a Corona with a goodly wedge of lime. :)

(Oh, and did you know that when Celsius (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celsius) first published his temperature scale, he wanted 0 to be the boiling point of water and 100 the freezing point? Truth is still stranger than fiction!)

Liquid Heroin

They most definately drink Fresca.:p Either that or mercury.








And by the way I hate Fresca as much as anyone so don't attack me for my joke:)

Wouldn't Bottle be more in the way of goddess?

Arrgghh! :eek: I didn't see that one. So would I, probably, I guess.

Beer is nice.

I don't really drink, but I voted Scotch because I'm a Scot and it's cool to have a drink named after me country.

Haven't seen that in ages, maybe a trip to the video rental place is in order this weekend.

A toss up between beer and vodka.

That is one of the funniest movies Ive ever seen. In it's own unique way.

I saw dead mans chest last night, which reminds me of something to put in the annoy thread.

Oh to rerail your thread :oops, beer is the nectar of the gods while coffeee is the magic elixer of life.

Franklin said, "Beer is proof that God exists and wants us to be happy." It's thoughts like that - and beer itself - that keep me from being a total atheist.

Depends. Generally a litre of Vodka, however I do have a prediliction for Guiness and San Miguel.

Beer or wine, depending on my mood. I usually only drink liquor if I'm out or at a party.

Beer, all the way. Corona with lime only on the beach. ;)

The beach is a state of mind.

I imagine they do. I myself am a beach girl, more inclined to lounging on the sand than to climbing through the mountains. :cool:

Water. Hands down.

The beverage without which life would not exist. Good old H2O.

Nothing like a glass of icy spring water in summer.

I somewhat concerned by the fact that I found that glass quite sexy... :eek:

Although, in my defence, it reminded me of the female hourglass figure, as the makers probably (or hopefully) intended.

It is up there in the Elixir category, and I'm lucky enough to live in a place where good water is readily available. You might even have said, "The beverage without which other beverages would not exist. :D

Indeed.

It is a rather alluring and feminine shape, isn't it? But really, do you honestly think the makers of that undoubtedly fine beverage would use ... dare I say it? ... sex to sell their product? In this enlightened age we live in?

Meh, that beverage is obviously marketed to be interesting to straight boys only, because I am not impressed with the bottle shape in the least.

It's all good old fashionned phallic-shaped bottles for me, thank you very much :p

XS Energy Drink, the Root Bear Flavor, best thing especialy for the all nighters :-)

Uhm ... you do mean "root bEEr" flavor, right? I wonder what ... no, let's not go there.

You want a flake in that?



Ale for me, although I'm of the opinion that the only whiskey worth drinking is spelt Whisky. *nod*

Cannabis and white tea. Good stuff. :D

How very rude!

Either beer or red wine, depending on my mood & the temperature.

Iced Tea.

Heck yes.

Good Scotch is very good but Bad Scotch is TERRIBLE!

Gatorade?

Водка - вода богов!

Well, I'll have a whiskey, one port, one rye, a cider, two rums (one buttered and one cold), a scotch (preferably about seven years old), wine/port, a beer (doesn't matter), sherry, grog, ale, maybe a Monutain Dew (for kicks), a Howlin' Gale, a little bit of Goldwasser, white lightning or green toad, absenthe and sombuka.fifty thousand awesome points and a fluffle if you get the reference.

Burbon/Whisky mixed with pineapple juice and a lil sugar.

It either tastes really good, or I was far too drunk to have the ability to taste.


A nice cold Lager, perfecto.

I am a whiskey man.

Hmmmmmm, this got me thinking...Im going to take some empty 5 gallon water jugs to the cabin this weekend and fill them with the great water from there to bring home to drink. It is spring water thats collected in a water tank and lightly treated. Even in mid summer it is perfectly cold.

The water in the valley is too full of chlorine as it comes from the tap, and even after it sits long enough to lose the chlorine it tastes bad.

Actually I'm a fan of Birch Beer.

Beer..

Fosters!

Give me a gin and tonic any day.

I like a da juice.

Beer..

Fosters!

Austrailian for beer.

You drink Beer Ruffy?

Mead kicks ass because it's old-school and no one expects it. It tastes pretty damn good to boot.

*shamelessly adding a post to move this back up the list*

Yesterday evening it was Stella Artois, Belgian beer. My lady was having G & T. Nice to see each category in the poll has at least one vote.

Why yes, I am the Bottle of the Gods. Thank you for noticing.

the Drink of the Gods

http://www.charleswells.co.uk/home/images/bomb-image.jpg

The best gods were Viking and the manly Vikings drank BEER!!!

Black Cuillin ftw!

Water.

Because I believe in a compassionate god, not one that hands out hangovers :D

I have to agree with you, Mead is the best Alcoholic drink. I still think Root Beer XS ;-) is the best drink period though.

That stuff could kill Dionysus himself...:eek:

Other (non-alcoholic) - Black tea.

*snip*
Incidentally, the preferred beverage of the insane USAF base commander in Dr. Strangelove, on the grounds that pure grain alcohol and distilled water are free of communist impurities.

Mmmmm Everclear and maple syrup. Goes down smooth, hits hard, and lets you talk like Johnny Cash.

I think mead suits Vikings better.

I'll go with Strongbow, dry English cider. On a really warm day I'll switch to Hoegaarden Witbier.

If I need to be classier a good white German wine does the trick. Riesling or Gewürtztraminer.

I like Hoegaarden Witbier, yes, on a hot day. I haven't seen Strongbow in my local liquor stores. Riesling ... maybe, Gewürtz for dessert, certainly. Actually, for dessert I like Belgian lambic, especially the cassis-flavored one. :D When the weather is cooler, Bass or Newcastle, now and then the Old Peculier.

General Ripper, was it?

No I just look like Ive got that much mileage on me.:cool:

Farny youve just reminded me of another drink that is the bestest sometimes. Ice cold milk with cake or pie. Beer water or coffee wont do as well.

Oh yeah. But real, actual, whole milk, if your innards can stand up to it, not grey water masquerading as milk.

Damn right, those evil commies spoiling our alchohol. :p
