Bourbon and Rum are my go to liquors. Always have a bottle of bourbon in the cupboard but I don't drink much.. For those scenarios when I think I deserve one or company is over. I also keep a bottle of vodka for white russians and bloody mary's. No better drink for the morning after a hard night out than a bloody mary full of pickled veggies and whatever else I have in the fridge. Whiskey in coffee will do just fine if I don't have vodka.
For beer, I like IPA's and will drink, and do drink just about anything as long as it's not sour. Been drinking a lot of double IPA's because I can have 1 pint and it's like drinking a meal. A literal porkchop in a can. Sooo many good beers out there right now. Goose Island Paper Umbrella and Ocean Breeze have become my staple over the past few months. They're smooth and easy to take.
I drink any regular beers as well. Those are usually best if the plan is to day drink and still be operational by 5pm. Can't get drunk on those anyway.
One rule I live by: No drinking and driving. Watched most of my friends get DUIs over the years and I'll never get one because I simply don't.
