Vodka and some sort of energy drink. My friend got a truck load of this stuff called 2.7 which never hit the market, and that should be rather nice with it :D
Ale: BROOOOOOON
Stout: Guinness
vodka mixed with dex and irn bru, chambord in champagne, armagnac, and various microbrewed ales all rate quite highly as well.
Funnily enough, Boddingtons became shite right around the time they moved away from the Strangeways Brewery (no longer local!)
I do like a good ale myself - Marstons Pedigree, Hobgoblin, Badger. I used to like Theakston's Old Peculiar, but it gave me the shits something terrible.
To be fair though, on a night out I will drink practically anything bar shitty, pissy lagers such as Carling, Fosters and Stella (it's vile, don't try and come up with any excuses, it's just fucking horrible).
I'll drink anything. To illustrate this, in my kitchen at the moment remains:
26 tins of Stella
1 btl Mo'Bay
1/3 btl Tio Pepe Fino Sherry*
1/2 btl Advocaat
1/3 btl Warre's LBV Port
1/4 btl Yates's Aussie White
I have been on holiday this week, though - so it's a bit more than usual, it will mostly be gone by Monday.
I have been buying super-minging drinks on purpose in an effort to curb my "enthusiasm" for drinking: Supercassis, Absinthe, Raki, Sake, Ouzo - but it hasn't worked and I've still necked the bastards.
* 2 teaspoons were required for General Nickface's Chicken
Drink wise well,
Johnsmiths draftflow in cans as a daily tipple, it's wet, brown and cold. Maybe not the nicest drink ever, but I like it.
Bottled London pride as a treat.
Fullers Discovery for the summer heat
Kew Brew for the occasions when I'd like something a bit different
Long island Iced Tea when I need a kick. The alcohol base mix lives in the freezer, ready for a splosh of coke (with lime) and a dollop of fresh lime juice
Carlsberg Export (Bottled)
Grolsch (Bottled)
Budweiser (Bottled)
Magners Cider (A pint of this on ice is a newly discovered summer tipple when I get fed up with drinking lager all the time)
I drink Fosters/Carling if I'm in a pub and it's all they have, but otherwise I have their chilled versions.
Most of the lagers I like above aren't served in the local boozers, but only in restaurant type pubs, and fancy bars down town, which is a shame.

It moved? Well I never knew that. Even when I drank bitter regularly I never liked Boddies though. As for Carling, Fosters and Stella - I'll drink Carling or Fosters, or whatever other cheap lager is on tap if I'm in for a marathon session 'cos it's pretty easy going (if not particularly nice). I drank Fosters for years at about £1 a pint at my last posting so I can put that away pretty easily, it's like an old friend. Stella I'll only drink if someone has bought it for me, 'cos it leaves a fucking horrible aftertaste. I really don't know what people see in it other than that it seems to be the fashionable drink at the moment. Unfortunately many bars only seem to do one crap beer (like XXXX), and Stella.

And that reason is good! All of those "cheaper" American beers all taste about the same to me, so if I'm going to go to the store and get cans of beer, I'm going to get the one that lets me the the most bang for my buck.
Though, it's very rarely that I will go WILLINGLY to buy beer in cans, usually it's botttles or draft at the bar.
And I didn't even mention getting 40oz botttles in the ghetto...
Beer out of bottles is so much better than cans for some reason, but seeing as we have to take our bottles to be recycled and there's no convenient place to do it I either have to drink cans or have a massive pile of bottles that I haul the 12 miles or so to the recycling centre. I usually drink cans.
