What's your favorite ethanol-infused beverage? Don't be shy, you know you have one.
Me? Bacardi Breezer. And as for beer, Miller High Life with friends, but with family I go for any Corsendonk.

My favourite alcoholic food are rum balls, which happen to be pretty much alcohol-free...
You can read it as: No, we all don't have on, I'm a proud abstinent :-P (or however it's spelled)

Guinness or Red Stripe lager
Basically any beer that says "Imported From....." on the label. American beer is a heresy.

Indeed. f***ing close to water.
Tough call. Well, obviously there's beer. I'm German after all, but there's also Mohito and a bit of Cider every now and then. Then there's Vodka Lemon and Cuba Libre and finally some good old wine.
I think I'd settle for beer if I could only have one. Preferably unfiltered Weldebräu.

Cider. Irish or English for preference.

American beer = goes out the same color it came in.

Single malt scotch. My favorite is probably Lagavulin.

[rant]
I must confess, I do not understand the current Mohito craze that's sweeping through Europe. I think it's disgusting. It tastes alright, but seriously, it needs to be run through a sieve before drinking it. If you're going to crush lime into a drink, at least peel it first! Drinking a Mohito goes like this:
1. Take a sip.
2. Spend five minutes spitting bits of lime peel out of your mouth.
3. Lather, rinse, repeat.

now, imagine drinking a mohito made with mint, that was the most awful thing i've ever drank; the taste was ok but after i drunk it i had green teeth =/
as my favourite drink i'll take the Nardini "Leone 70", after burning your guts, it breaks you in two, most awesome stuff i ever drank (not that i drink much though")

Aren't they all? That's part of the recipe, afaik. That should be sieved (sifted?) away too, but the lime peel is the worst, imo.

? A mojito (sorry for spelling it incorrectly before) is always made with mint. There's relatively little lime, so I think you might be confusing it with Caipirinha.
PS: And it's only lime juice.

Not the way bartenders make it here in Denmark. It was only the day before yesterday that the TV news had a report on the mojito (I'm sure you're right about the spelling) craze. So here, it's not only lime juice, it's lime boats, with peel. :-(

That's the normal way and honestly the only time I've seen a major difference was when one bar was out of brown sugar and used white sugar instead (awful).
Sounds to me like you should print the Wikipedia page and take it to your usual bar the next time you order.

From the Wikipedia page: "Whole lime wedges may be muddled in the bottom along with the mint and sugar, which are left in the drink."
