    I chose standard beer but it needs explaining. I'm in the U.S. but I don't like domestic beers. I used to only drink Red Stripe from Jamaica but after years of being true to the brand I have fallen for Stella Artois. When my favorites are hard to find I can substitute with: St. Pauli Girl, Heineken, Becks, or Fosters as they come to tasting close to what I must like in a beer.

    I can't stand any kind of dark beer like Samuel Adams.

    I chose other. I don't drink. Although it's been like thirty below here in Canada and whiskey does sound tempting, I think I'll stick with hot chocolate. I buy Tim Horton's brand. I love it, it has a kinda buttery flavor.

    Don't drink Whiskey to get warm. Alcohol actually lowers body temperature. That warm tingle you feel after drinking alcohol is just from the blood vessels dialating, but then temperature drops.

    You putting marshmallows in that hot chocolate?

    I wish - I forgot to buy them. Somehow I do this - buy hotdogs … forgot the mustard. Groan.

    I chose other as well. I'm going non-alcoholic for a bit, so tonight it's likely to be coffee, or tea, or maybe the Mr. Pibb that's been sitting in the back of my fridge since god knows when, maybe even straight up water if I'm feeling adventurous.

    I don't tend to drink alcohol on my own - so Pepsi Lime and probably some tea.

    Had a sip of beer last night and winced at the taste. Bleh. I'll stick to boring old life giving water for awhile. Around my birthday I'll have a shot of scotch though. Maybe.

    The only things I drink are water and craft beer. I will drink wine (I love sangria) or a mixed drink on special occasions. Funny writers are usually know for drinking (or is that smoking)? :)

    I'm thinking whiskey or red wine (for a stereotypical writer) - both things I can't really drink. My family is over sensitive against red wine and I think it's getting worse with age. Whisky... is just awful in my book. Gave some to my boyfriend for Christmas since he has a tradition of drinking whiskey and smoking cigars on Christmas Day... drank some out of politeness. Regretted it. I've tried a few different kinds, always tasted like poison to me. I'm more or a rum sort of person - preferably mixed into a mojito.

    I voted for wine since it's my go-to, but I also enjoy craft beers (especially citrusy IPAs), Irish whiskey and lightly flavored vodkas. However the last few days I've been sticking to tea and ginger ale since I have a terrible cold I'm battling through.

    Just now my morning coffee.

    There is cocoa* instead of sugar. And a lot of milk.

    Maybe it's cocoaffee.
