I'm the most purist of all tea consumers. More than any others.

Depends on my mood, which depends on what computer language I'm working with. If I'm working with C++, I can normally figure it out and I stick with juice and soft drinks. When I work with JSP, I start with beer, then when I inevitably can't get even my Hello World web page to work I switch to wine coolers. Then malt liquor. As the night progresses and still nothing works for no apparent reason, I steadily hit harder and harder stuff: whiskey, vodka, moonshine, till finally even that isn't enough to dull the pain and I wake up three days later after whatever illegal pharmaceuticals I have ingested have left my system with no recollection of why my window is broken and there is a shattered computer five stories below. Then I remember: JSP.

I drink so much sparkling water that I am buying a 20lb. Carbon-dioxide tank and will be making my own shortly. I go through about 2 cases of Talking Rain a week (though I have had to cut back since we dropped our Costco membership) -- fortunately my current place of work supplies all the free talking rain I can drink (but that job is ending this week - but then so are the 12 hour days, so it is a wash I guess).
For 'drink' drinks, I drink bourbon & coke in the winter and tequila & tonic in the summer.

The best water I ever drank in my life was tap water in New York state somewhere near the great lakes (I don't recall where but probably close to Buffalo). I stopped in a resturant and had a glass of water with other things. It tasted sooo good that I stayed an hour or so just drinking the water because I couldn't get enough of it. I have never tasted even bottled water that was as good as that tap water in NY.

Neither. When I was *a lot* younger, I passed out from wisky... That was the end of my wiskeyadventures.
I drink coffee at day-time (and lots of it) and for inspriration I have a Grolsch-Beugel. (local beer)

I don't like whisky or burbons. Vodka, Gin, Kalua, Irish Mist are about the only alcholoic drinks I used to drink -- don't do that anymore either. I was never alcholic just stopped drinking due to other medical problems. **sighh**

At home, I drink bourbon (corn mash whiskey) or Canadian (Rye based). When I have whisky or whiskey out, I generally go to a bar that offers tastings. I will taste 5 different Irish whiskeys or 5 different Scotch whiskys (see I learned to spell the different whiskies correctly). The differences between the various single malts is so cool that I could not afford to keep what I like at home (probably 15 different bottles that would cost $50 or more each); forced to choose I would go with Laphroaig for Scotch or well, I can't really decide on Irish.

>> do you guys prefer whisky or irish whiskey?
I'm going to say whiskey, but being Irish and narrowminded I haven't really tried many of the Scottish brands. My brother likes the earthy taste (his words), of whiskys... Contrary to stereotype I don't really think that much nor that heavily, but I do like whiskey a lot.

What might be the difference? A popular legend is that St. Patrick introduced distillation to Ireland and later Britain. In Ireland the product was called "uisce beatha" meaning "Water of Life".
