Difficult to choose just the one, as it depends on how I want to relax. Cool off and then fall down would be bourbon, cool off and get rather happy would be beer (either a German weis beer or my favourite pint of classic English Ale, Courage Directors). However, to cool off and calm down without any of the booze related after effects it has to be tea every time, in my case that is green tea, preferably with lotus blossom flowers or jasmine blended in. Ah, sheer bliss...

Ahhhh it's gotta be wine, it's gotta be red and it's gotta be EspaƱol.

Although recently I have developed a penchant for those litle cappuccinos in a packet that Nescafe do, supping one right now.

Tea. Earl Grey. Hot.

If you like tea (and I am partial to a drop of Earl Grey myself, black with a little lemon) and I like, and I have voted for tea and there is only 1 vote showing, why haven't you voted for tea?

Don't let the tea drinkers down man!

Sorry, got a bit carried away there. Too much coffee probably :)

And someone has just voted beer, but not posted anything. If you drink your tea too hot does it make you click the wrong radio button I wonder ?

I'd go for red wine, a barolo perhaps, amarone if I want to splash, or there's a cool three for two deal at Thresher's which I like.

If at the pub, I'll take John Smith's bitter or Guinness.

And I also like Earl Grey tea, just as it is, no lemon etc. I'm drinking plain tea with nothing else added at the moment.

when its hot i'd generally have a beer. my fridge currently is full of staropramen, leffe and some badger ale

at work i'll have either coffee or tea (yorkshire). i don't drink machine coffee or tea, or anything with non-liquid milk for that matter.

Tea it has to be. I prefer home made Lipton Tea. Complete with a unhealty dose of sugar and a good squeeze of lemon
