Darwinia

Reading through the posts it seems that most Americans liked their vodka. I always thought that was a Russian speciality.

I started with beer and Souvignon Blanc and ended with Black &White whiskey until the blackouts erased the last bit of white light.

Amazing how I now enjoy lime and soda.

We all can change. It is so possible.

Lightning Bug

I drank white zinfandel. When I was done with it and sufficiently drunk, I drank the rest of my husband's beer when he wasn't looking. I don't even like beer. It tastes like what I imagine a dirty gym sock would taste like. Just thinking about it makes me gag. I did all my drinking at home but when we were blessed to actually have a sitter so we could go out, I loved a good Long Island Iced Tea.

Beer and bourbon for me. It was shocking how fast I could go through a case of tall boys s or a liter. Now it's Diet Pepsi disappearing at an alarming rate.

whiskey & then I discovered 12% abv 4loco - then it was a mix

Vodka. A 5th of the cheap 40 proof. Could never pace myself with top shelf.

Now it is tons of flavored water (berries, cucumber, herbs, lemon, lime), sun brewed herbal teas during the day and a kava kava , white tea or chamomile @ night.

I am British and loved my vodka 35% mainly and if I didnt have that then whiskey 40%, rum 35 or 40% and then lambrini, wine, cider and lager

Mine was always gin and tonic at first but then it escalated to pretty much anything I could get my hands on. I remember having to fill my mouth with saliva and take deep breaths before I drank some of it because it tasted so bad.

My poison was something that almost killed me so I focus on the sobriety which I'm alive today because of

I like your lime & soda I am currently having summer fruits squash (double concentrate no added sugar mixed with Scottish highland water)

gatorman

Bourbon man for 48 years. Never was a heavy drinker but enjoyed 5 or 6 drinks every day...every day.

fripfrop

I'm with Sober Wolf, don't even want to think about the muck that could have killed me, why would you want to?
Do you work for some brewing company?

madgirl

red wine. Sometimes for extra fun I'd indulge in what I nicknamed "suicide bourbon". Good times (ugh).

I enjoy LaCroix sparkling waters now

Kaily

A bottle of vodka a night 750ml is STILL my poison, sometimes with starters of lager or wine.
Just managed two days sober which is a very big deal for me, slight withdrawals but not to bad.
Today I got overtired working and am drinking again.. Rewarding and Relaxing myself but also hating my lack of resolve.
Each sober time I think I have made it, what a fool!

My poison is my fear. White wine (Sauvignon Blanc too) was a relatively brief, but devastating, response to it.

I would like to be done with obsessions-as-coping devices. Maybe I can find some healthy obsessions again.

Pretty much anything minus wine or gin as I hated the taste, but if that was all that was around, that's all going down too.
I think vodka is popular in the US mainly because it's the cheapest. I'm pretty sure Skol is bought by no one by alcoholics.

MacW

Mostly beer.

But also scotch, bourbon, and to a much lesser extent, wine. Never been a big wine drinker as a stand alone drink, it was always to accompany food.

Beer for me. Rolling rock was my favorite. "From the glass lined tanks of old Latrobe." But I would drink anything if I came across it. Gin and tonics, screwdrivers, you name it.

luvmygirls

Vodka, wine, beer...but after a certain point mostly anything. It's so gross to remember some of the things I mixed. Thanks for the awful reminder, I needed it (seriously).

Venecia

^^^^ That. Thanks, Wolfie.

REsoberALITY

Beer followed by rum and coke. What a mess for WAY too long! Good decaf coffee, Powerade, water and an occasional diet soda now.
