Although I'm a penniless Ph.D. student (I count my income in NEGATIVE dollars) I put high end scotch at the top of my list. To Wit: Tomintoule 27 year Glenlivet...
(Oh NOW look what you've DONE! I'm pouring a shot right now, I can't help it. What the hell, it's Canada day weekend and I'm taking a week off of my studying, etc.)
Glen Morangie, Glen Moray, (very old) etc.
Long Island (although I'm having a bitch of a time learning how to make a good one myself)
DARK beer - but I can't stand Guiness, it's a fad. Beamish (when we could still get it in Boston) or Murphy's
EXCELLENT flavoured vodkas mom makes (Someone else mentioned flavoured Vodka...we have to talk!)
various Martinis - A family secret is a Lai Chi martini invented by a friend of the family who manages one of Toronto's yuppiest restaurants. She cut her teeth as a bartender at a different one, and she's GOOD!
Anything fruity. (Personally, I'm not fruity, but I have a sweet tooth and love peach, orange, or raspberry ANYTHING.

Well, today I’m proud to say that my drink of choice is a 1970 bottle of Glenury Royal.
I saw this bottle in New York of all places, and frankly decided that I had to have it. I just couldn’t leave it there...I had to bring it back to the land of its birth...and my house.
Room 101, where in NY did you find this rare whiskey? I enjoy shopping for rare gemstones for social gatherings. Even though I rarely drink, it is important to be a good host. Quality is usually more enjoyable than quantity in items of the kind. It makes an evening special.
I'm a jagermeister drinker (usually with red bull-jager bombs-hey I'm in college) for parties, beer (heiniken) with fast food,wine (merlot) with italian food,and malt liqour (four loko) when I'm recording/performing (rap-metal)
