I'm so boring. . .I seldom drink alcohol, but if I do it is a good scotch neat, or with water and a twist. 

If wine it's Cabernet (prefer Silver Oak).

 

So I'm usually drinking unsweetened iced tea . . . and often the designated driver!

I think I'm in the category with your husband @smoochy . I don't drink but not opposed to others having a couple drinks. I just prefer my calories in a dessert like a delicious chocolate "something" Woman Very Happy. Everyone likes me tagging along as well, I'm always the DD,

Manhatten, Wine and Beer.  I have 1-3 drinks per week at most.  Depends on what I am eating or where I am socializing.  Maybe a Negroni or Marguarita if at a special restaurant.I really try not to drink much since I am a 10 year BC survivor.

I am just the opposite, @cjm61 .  My drink preference is Coors Lite, ice cold.  If others are having dessert, I have another drink.....lol.  Dessert isn't my thing.

If I'm out for pizza or burgers, it's Miller Lite. Otherwise, depending on where I am it is usually  gin and tonic, margarita or sangria. 

 

I always have vodka, gin and wine in the house.

 

@tends2dogs same here on ordering another drink when everyone else is having coffee and dessert. Who needs cake.

Not much of a drinker--but do enjoy icy cold beer more than liquor. Can't even remember the last "drink" I had. Usually any mixed  drinks have too much sugar--can't do the sugar at all. Not a straight up person either. Not into wine. Dang---am I boring!!!🫤!

 

 And had to add----I can't afford  the prices for a drink at a restaurant?? At least $10 and up!!! I usually pay for my own bill too--my brother likes to split the bill--nope---am not paying for others who order drinks!!!

Anything not sweet.  I like an occasional gin & tonic mostly in the summer, expresso martini and pinot grigio wine.

Tea on the rocks or hot.  Straight up, no sweetener of any kind.  Good tea!  

 

Neither of us are drinkers.  We recently pitched a big box of all kinds of alcohol because we don't have visitors much now.  We still have about 15 bottles of wine to get rid of, and neither of us care about drinking it.  

 

When we went out long ago, it was one gin and tonic for me.  And iced tea.
