This troper got turned on to Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot because someone zhe really likes tends to like red wines. Zhe also tends to like Maker's and Coke, and if at zir favorite bar in LosAngeles, will often order an Absinthe because they do it so well. Zhe also enjoys experimenting with cocktails of various sorts because zhe was once a bartender (working parties rather than bars but still...) and is also the embodiment of MustHaveCaffeine in the context of diet sodas and iced coffee.

I've been a Pepsi addict practically since the delivery room, but in recent years, I've cut back a bit (maybe one or two a day; just kidding). I occasionally have a glass of red wine, but other than that, I'm not a big drinker. I once heard of a drink called a [[Series/DoctorWho Sonic Screwdriver (blue Gatorade and vodka), but it tasted like crap. So now, I made up my own, the "Sonic Cellphone" (as a reference to the color of the light on my cellphone). It's basically the same thing, just with green Powerade or Gatorade.

This troper will take a wine or beer to accompany his meals, or occasionally a nicely aged single-malt Scotch. More ordinarily though, he takes his ''finjan'' and makes Arrakeen Spice Coffee: cardamom, cinnamon, and honey cooked into Middle-Eastern-style coffee. As you might have guessed, he works in computers and thus possesses a Muad'dib-level addiction to caffeine.

This Troper thinks that coffee sounds absolutely delicious.

This Troper agrees.

This Troper must have Sierra Mist.

This troper prefers ale, the darker the better (though not to the point of being a stout). Being Canadian, he can think of a few brews that fit the bill.

When not drinking per se, this troper also prefers black coffee, the darker the roast the better.

This troper's drink of choice is Guinness. For the record, this troper is 1/16th Irish.

This troper is an aspiring bartender, who enjoys experimenting with cocktails, which usually means his drink orders are ridiculously long.

This troper will have an Old Fashioned. Or a whiskey sour. Or, fuck it, just give me some bourbon. No, NOT Jack Daniels. Are you thick?

This troper thinks you are awesome.

If you ask for bourbon and a bartender tries to server you Jack Daniels, in certain parts of the Southern US, it is not only appropriate, but good form, to stick the bottle up his ass.

House white. Chardonay if possible.

Coffee? Flat white, no sugar. Do you have artifical sweetener?

This Russian/Irish Tropette will have milk, please.

Can you say SubvertedTrope?

This full-Irish Troper will have an American beer or whiskey like Miller or Jack Daniels, thank you, because Guinness is foul muck that turns your poop black. In fact, he suspects Guinness was originally just a practical joke that got out of hand.

This troper took the opportunity during his childhood at any restaurant with a bar to order a Shirley Temple (often a "Mickey Mouse", as this was frequently on Disney property)to the point where his parents would start ordering them automatically.

Jack Daniels. In a shotglass. The amount of times I have to insist on the latter is mind-boggling.

I'll have some Irish cream, mead, or just rum mixed with random sodas and fruit juices (incidentally, Bacardi Zombie mixed with Jones Green Apple is excellent.) No booze? Cream soda, preferably A&W. Coffee? Black as night, and sweet as sin.

This troper's martini order: Bombay, wet, rocks, shaken, twist, no olives. If you can't understand what I mean get the hell off the bar and find something else to do for a living.

A Bloody Caesar with extra cumin, curry powder, Dave's Insanity Sauce instead of tobasco, and a hell of a lot of black pepper. It hasn't caused this troper to spew flames yet, at least.

This troper has seen kids in his school put their cups under more than one nozzle at the drink machine.

A Suicide? Classic.

This troper was taken to a bar for his 21st birthday. Not really enjoying alcohol and being lactose intolerant, he ordered... Water. His brother commented that, "The joke works better with milk."

This Troper enjoys a good game of Stump the Bartender. Generally he orders either a Singapore Sling or a Robert Burns (Single-malt Scotch, Sweet Vermouth, and a dash of Drambuie). Otherwise, he'll order a martini thusly: Sapphire martini, 3:1, up, stirred, twist, no olives. Incidentally, anyone who orders a martini shaken is wrong. Shaking ruins the clarity of the drink. Also, if it has anything other than Gin (or Vodka), Vermouth (Sweet or Dry), and a garnish of choice (Olive, Onion, or Twist) it's ''NOT A MARTINI!'' I don't care if it's served in a cocktail glass, a martini is a very well-defined drink.

Cheers to you, sir.

If it ain't got an olive or a twist, then it ain't a martini. If you put an onion in it instead, it's a gibson. Also, vermouth is not optional, otherwise you're just drinking gin. Both of which are fine, just ''NOT MARTINIS!''

This troper likes Glenlivet (an undervalued single malt Scotch, for yous who didn't know), red wine, cider, dark lagers, and gin and tonics.

As for my coffee? I don't drink...coffee. Seriously.

While I drink a bunch of different things, my drinks of choice are beer and Scotch. If I'm ordering cocktails, I'll have a Sazerac, thank you.

This troper, while visiting Spain, once ordered lemonade and was asked if she meant "Fanta Limón". She said yes, and was given a brand of lemonade that was blatently not Fanta. (She's still wondering about this, given that there IS a generic Spanish word for lemonade.)

This troper will have either a coke, or coffee, milk and three sugars please.

This captain swears by [=A&W=], though almost any root beer will do in a pinch (preferably not Mug, & '''never''' Diet Vess). I love trying more obscure or homemade versions, too.

This troper is an archaeologist, and so despite having some taste when at home will on big digs drink anything. For preference, at home, Laphroaig, Bushmills "black bush". American Whiskeys will do but in the states I drink Rye. In a cocktail bar I have a dry Martini, and by dry I mean pour a cap full of Noilly Prat over the ice and stir it a bit before pouring it all away, and then replace with about five measures of Plymoth Gin (navy strength where I can find it), ''stired'' with a twist of ''orange.'' Real Ale in a pub, normal bitter is there is none, and on a dig... anything. Beer? Good. Larger? Fine. Cider? Hope it's Scrumpy. Vodka? Good. Rectified Spirit? Why not? Potcheen you've made in you freezer? All good, can't wait. Absolute Ethanol a bent lab tech sold you? After 12 hours digging just give me the alcohol, we can cool it all in a spoil bucket/wheelbarrow full of water and blue freezer packs. And when I'm working tea. There MUST be tea. If you have a short tea-break during a dig you drink tea. Not drinking tea does not compute. Lapsang for preference at home but after a few hours digging I'll settle for something stirred with a trowel.

This troper is a caffeine addict, and drink of choice is either a Colorado Bulldog (White Russian with Coke or Pepsi mixed in), A Raspberry Rose (a bartender friend of hers created it for me, Tequila Rose, Raspberry Schnapps and Milk, looks like Pepto Bismol and is darn good), or Irish Car Bombs (Depth charge of Bailey's Irish Creme in a tall glass of Guinness). No alcohol? Code Red Mountain Dew. It's stupid how much I love that freaking soda. If I have coffee (which is rare) it's more like "Would you like some coffee with your cream and sugar?"

This Troper enjoys pineapple flavored Jamaican rum or a Shirley Temple Black made with grenadine, Sprite, vodka (because I hate gin and whiskey), and three maraschino cherries when she's feeling playful. When visiting her teetotaler grandparents, either sweet tea or cranberry juice.

Tropers/Miso is not of legal drinking age. Thus, her DrinkOrder at restaurants is always Pepsi [not diet] or Diet Coke. Or, if she's in a certain mood, a vanilla milkshake. At home, if she can get her hands on it, she will drink a Pepsi Throwback. Ahhh, caffeine and sugar.... how I love thee.

Tropers/BertieDastard always orders a pint of 6X or Tribute, or Doombar, when he goes to the pub. IF it's wine, it's Long Shadow Chardonnay, or Gallo Grenache White. Tea? White, no sugar; or, if it's fruit or herbal, then it's brewed for ten minutes with three teaspoons of honey. Soft drink? He'll take Ginger Beer.

This troper's usual drink order is natural orange juice, i don't mind other drinks as long as my first is orange juice. Also I DON'T like coffee at all.

This troper's sister often orders orange juice mixed with ginger ale in what is essentially a non-alcoholic screwdriver. We call it a hammer.

This mexican troper likes to try new things whenever he's at a bar, but the usual, both inside and outside the country, is always ''Corona''. It helps that the beer is sold worldwide.

Tropers/TheMysteriousTroper was long anticipating the first legal drink to be had, and thus spent time finding a good mixed drink that was palatable (ie, not urine in a bottle with fizz on top) but still alcoholic. Lo, research gave them the Green Demon. It indeed had to be explained to the pub's barkeep, but was delivered (by request) as a tall glass of liquid Kryptonite on ice. The experience was not unlike swallowing a mouthful of Jolly Rancher... followed by a mouthful of Listerine. From now on, the drink order is: Long Island Ice Tea and glass of water with lemon.

I'll have a water. *{{beat}}* What?

This Troper'll have an Awr-see in a glass bottle, a lemonade with two packets of Sweet n'Low, or a Great Lakes Conway's Irish Ale.

This troper mixes diet coke and regular Mountain Dew on the idea that a quarter of a cup of dew is better than a full one, as just straight diet colas get very old after a while.

I'll usually go for a bottle of Perry (or Pear Cider). Brothers or Bulmers, usually. When not that, i'll go for a Double Baileys on the Rocks (ALWAYS on the Rocks), or a shot of Famous Grouse Scotch. Coffee? One and a half spoonfuls of Coffee, One and a half sponfuls of Sweetner, and mix a fifth of a mugs worth of milk with the Coffee and Sweetner BEFORE adding the hot water. Soft Drinks? A strong, firery Ginger Beer, and an ice-cold Irn-Bru, or a Pepsi will go down a dream, thanks.

This troper is Captain Morgan's first mate. Nothing beats the first sip of the first rum and (vanilla) Coke on Friday night after a long-ass week of slaving away for TheMan. Unless it's doing the same thing back home with friends (which this troper does as often as possible). Oh, and if it's beer, it must be Guinness.

This troper went to Las Vegas, and ended up settling on her drink of choice for several reasons: 1. every place had it, 2. it was something she never had at home, and 3. she finds alcohol in any form tastes terrible (no, seriously. I have no problem with the concept, I just ''really'' don't like it). The drink? ''Whole'' milk.

I don't drink, partially because I'm underage and partially because my mother always told me alcohol tasted like Robitussin. So instead, I drink things like "The Choco-Cafe con leche-Cherry-Berry-Banana Smoothie." It's really quite nice: One banana, one packet of Carnation chocolate-flavored breakfast drink, half a cup of milk, one-quarter cup of coffee (Cafe Loja--really nice, really strong Ecuadorian coffee), half a cup of ice, half a cup of blackberries, and half a cup of cherries. It's a lovely way to get three servings of fruit.

Despite living in Seattle, this Troper's DrinkOrder at a coffee cart is "16 ounce steamed milk, shot of hazelnut."

Pellegrino and other mineral waters quite literally take the edge off for this troper. It's a real curiosity to him.

This Troper MustHaveCaffeine, and prefers espresso. For real drinks he likes Laphroaig, 15 year, neat. That is a Scotch. Failing that, he also likes martinis, (gin, straight up, with a twist) and red wine.

When Dr. Pepper Berries & Cream was in circulation, this troper would down at least 3 cans a day of it, as it was the equivalent of liquid crack. I was a... little upset when I couldn't find it anymore. Nowadays it's things like Mountain Dew Voltage, San Pellegrino, Perrier, and IBC Root Beer.

This troper wants a pitcher of PBR. Also, champagne for all my real friends, and real pain for all my sham friends. Hell with it, just give me everything you have, and keep it coming!!

This troper has her diet coke, or, if alcoholic, Captain Cola (Captain Morgan with Coca Cola). While she isn't that much into alcohol, the question "What'd you like?" becomes almost a rhetorical one.

Related to AndADietCoke.

This troper likes gin and tonics during the summer and honey-pepper vodka (that's vodka with honey and chili peppers added), also called Perzovka in the winter.

Serperoth drinks good whisky (Glenfiddich and up) or good beer (Hobgoblin being my favourite, although Newcastle and McFarland are potable). Cocktails, he's only had a few, of which he only liked kiwi with Sprite.

Oh and he drinks tea. Anything but green, with a bit of sugar. Life without Earl Grey would be life without life.

This troper has quite a few things he can go for: For rum, I might have either a Cuba Libre, or maybe a Mojito if I want a long drink. As far as tequila goes, a lime margarita on the rocks. None of that frozen smoothie crap. And the good stuff. Patron and Cointreau, that you very much. If you try and put Jose Cuervo in there, I ''will'' hurt you. Whiskey? A nice bourbon (straight. No junk in it) and a glass of water. Woodford Reserve. Maker's Mark if you don't got it. Vodka? Thank you, no; I prefer to taste what I'm drinking. Or maybe a nice gin and tonic to help me relax.

What's your beers? You got Shiner Bock? Good. Keep 'em coming. If not, I'll have a Guinness. Extra stout.

Also, when I'm at home, I like to make something for myself: 2 oz spiced or dark rum, 4 oz pomegranate juice, and 1 oz lime juice. I call it a Persephone, and it's heavenly.

Better yet, hell, let's have one of each.

Beer is perhaps the oldest man-made beverage the world has seen and I am one in a long, long line of fellas who enjoy the occasional brew. I lean towards pale ales because they're a great source of dietary silicon. I also admit to liking girly beers like Monteiths Radler Bier even though I prefer others.

Peppermint Schnapps. Mixed with nothing else.

This troper, being below the legal drinking age, has come up with some strange non-alcoholic drinks. The Sunday Special (whipped cream with cocolate/strawberry syrup layered in a shot glass), a Hot Mess (tabasco sauce sprinkled with cajun seasoning), Otaku Martinis (Cherry coke & root beer with a pocky swizzle stick), and Hummingbirds (sugar water). That was one heckuva birthday party...

This troper was the one at the office Christmas party whose coworkers all ordered tropical drinks while she sipped a double of rum.

This troper enjoys vodka in the winter, gin and tonics in the summer, and Everclear if he actually wants to get drunk any time soon.

Turkish coffee or french pressed in a pinch, single sugar, single cream.

This guy will take a margarita. What?! They're delicious! When I'm feeling more masculine, I'll take a rum and coke. As for non-alcoholic beverages, I'll have a diet ginger ale.

The last time This guy went out drinking I was doing good after a beer, a shot of Jameson, and a whiskey 7-up...then I had the tequila and I was gone. Me drinking tequila is like eating pot brownies: I know I'll have too many and I'll be sick the next morning but it's ''so good''...then I start seeing things and get paranoid...

On a day-to-day basis, This troper settles for Coke. Pepsi is fine if Coke is unavailable, but you can expect me to be unhappy about it. If I happen to be abroad, feeling adventurous, and it's on the menu, I'll take a few shots of Amaretto. On the rocks.

Coke, or at times, Ramune.

This troper will often order "a cup of tea, any green or herbal is fine, just pick one at random." That way I get a nice variety.
