A good pint of freshly spilled beer is better of anything you can find in bottle or (God forbid) cans. When you need something fast and strong two shots of tequilas. For the winter nights a good Baileys with some chocolate.

Weirdly craft beer judges prefer cans decanted into glasses than bottles. I personally prefer bottles over cans and draught above both. Speaking of tequila, my go to drink after beers is usually whiskey water (spelled that way as it's usually a bourbon), but thinking of making the move to tequila soda.

Something bitter and not too sweet, whatever they have. At home I make bourbon and soda with a splash of orange bitters or change it up with a different spirit.
I like bitter and don't really like sweet. Adding club soda makes the drink stretch farther and reduces dehydration. If I order drinks neat I drink them too fast, drink too many, and end up paying for it with my wallet and my headache.
Beer, or if I don't want beer then I order a tequila tonic. It's easy for the bartender and it's like a light margarita.
Dr Pepper. But I don't really go to bars. Maybe that's obvious.
Long Island. They're made a variety of ways and can taste anywhere from just short of lemonade to dish soap.
Lagavulin 12y, double, neat.
Laphroig or Ardbeg will do in a pinch.
If they don't have any islay single malt whiskys, then usually cheap bourbon.
Just a lager idc
Bourbon and Coca-Cola Classic w/ice Sometimes a double.
Why: I want a cocktail that can get me drunk quickly. The coke is sweet and masks the disgusting alcohol flavour.
Try Dr. Pepper and bourbon. So good!
Old Fashioned. It’s one with a huge variation in flavor from bar to bar, so it’s always interesting to see how they do it.
My favorite drink is usually a crisp white wine like Pinot Grigio but I’ll order a Sazerac or Old Fashioned (or a specialty cocktail) at nice places. At a dive bar or music venue or whatever, I typically stick to gin and tonic or vodka soda, the main reasons being just that they’re simple for a busy bartender to make and also don’t make me as miserable the next day.
