I love grapefruit juice and tonic. I'm not a recovering alcoholic I just think alcohol is overrated.

You can have any thinging
i used to drink a lot of red wine i dont these days because you get older you try to lighten the effect of the hangover which red wine give me the largest. When added with that last little tipple to get you to sleep.

Red wine every time, funny as the further inland you get in Spain the better the wine is, in the tourist areas its like paint stripper. Funniest thing I ever saw was a load of butch Spanish workmen pile into a restaurant at siesta time and drink Rose I think the spanish like it because it is thirst quenching.

Red wine every time, if no red then white, but I never mix.......
Had a bad experience with 8 pints of Speckle Hen, managed to keep it down for about 12 hours but then my head exploded and I kept nothing down for about 3 weeks. Also partial to the odd Caffrey's or Murphy, and just for a night cap I do enjoy Tia Maria and Bailey's on lots of ice and of course always have a sherry before dinner and a nice port always goes down a treat. Other than that I don't really drink!
