The answer is yes to all of the above.

The answer is those venues are enjoyable because of the company I'm
with.

Beer. At home. In the hot tub.

Do I really have to spell it out?

Of course my favorite location for the morning cup of coffee is the
same.

Drinking beer (Dale's Pale Ale, Pilsner Urquell, Guiness, or ....),
downwind from my smoker, while I'm cooking a piece or three of meat
(pork, beef, venison, mouflon, turkey, chicken. etc) while sitting in a
honky chair or reclining in a hammock, watching the birds at the
feeders, or the river, or the scenery wherever I am.

Home, unless I'm out to dinner (rare) and not driving.

Can there be only one favourite?
I think it depends on the weather and the situation. Sitting on
a patio on a hot summer day there is nothing that beats a gin and
tonic. Hold it.... I may have to take that back.... cold beer is
nice under those circumstances too. On a cooler day it is nice
to sit under a shady arbour and sip some nice dry white wine.
Sitting by a fire place on a cold day is a nice setting for a hot
rum toddy. Sitting around the table after dinner it is nice to
have a brandy. Even nice is a glass of Port with coffee and a
cigar.

What Dave said (mostly). However, my usual "poison" is white wine - at
home. (Have to be very careful with the drinking and driving around
here...) But a cold glass of beer on a very hot day is very good too.

About the only time I drink is when we go to Nevada (1 1/2 hours away)
because it is free (except for the tip) in the Casinos. I am never the
one who drives and we usually stay overnight anyway. Usually only one
because of meds and my family says I drink and drive anyway because I
use and electric wheel chair. LOL.

I don't drink either. Not because of taste though -- it's not good
for diabetics and has waaay too many calories. I'd rather spend those
on good food... :-)

I prefer home with cellist.

And the easier question is where do I not like wine?
I do not like it in a box.
I do not like it laced with lox.
I do not like it with TCA
I do not like it when I can't play
I do not like it in the gym.
I do not like it with too much stem
I do not like it reading Spam.
I do not like it, Dale-I-am (except in most other circumstances)

I usually like drinking in the gutter, that MD20-20 sure warms me up, but

I really only enjoy drinking at home or with friends at their homes. I
hate paying $6 for a glass of wine at a restaraunt when I can spend $16
on a whole bottle and drink it comfortably at home.

Yep, I'm with you on that! I remember John and I went to a really
hoity-toity restaurant in Addison, Texas when we first got back together and
he was still trying oh so hard to impress me It was wine-tasting night
at this place and for a set price you got a very nice meal (truly!) and all
the wine you could drink. (It was all *excellent*, by the way, and yes, we
took a cab.) While waiting for our table we each had a glass of wine at the
bar. $15 for a glass of wine?! Wowsa. But even in a regular restaurant,
be it a chain or otherwise, a glass of the "house" wine costs about $6.

Wish I could remember the name of that restaurant.

yeah...that's pretty much it. We went to outback when on vacation with
family and my uncle ordered a glass of Riesling...$6.95 for the glass
then turned around and ordered a whole bottle of it for $15.95.

I prefer drinking ice cold beer around a roaring campfire with my
buddies during the coldest months and knowing I have down underwear and
a warm sleeping bag to crawl into in the back of my truck when I'm done.
Dangers include stumbling into the campfire, backpedaling into a creek
and collapsing into a lawn chair which then collapses on its own.
It's the danger aspect that draws me, I suppose.

Yeah, the limit for being "legally intoxicated" keeps dropping. If the
present trend continues, in a few years, the vanilla extract from a cup
of boozeless eggnog will be enough to classify a driver as "drunk."

Think pink, drink rose'

Before we were 21 we stole some hooch or had someone buy it for us and
drank in secret, marginal spaces, like behind my friend's mom's garage,
and it was thrilling. But that was long ago.

I love sipping a double IPA late at night while reading modernist
poetry, maybe coupled with a taste of cannabis and Coltrane or Bach in
the cd player. I make desultory notes. There are other scenarios, but
this one's perennial and never gets old. I'm at times all too aware
most of the other 6+billion can't even dream of this luxury, and I'm
puzzled as to why I'm so lucky.

Of course, being in any bar or pub and talking to an attractive and
intelligent woman really works well too; it's just that it doesn't
happen with enough reliability.

More common and a blast: at a friend's house, after dinner. Inevitably
red wine's flowing and five to eight of us go on and on for hours, just
talking about whatever comes up, usually politics, religion, sex, a
panoply of neurotic behavior, movies, and books.

Sips of wine after sex (AKA ****ing) always make the wine taste better
than it "really is." Weird: some really spicy, jammy zinfandel seems
perfectly suited for drinking in bed, while beer - any beer - does not.
But no doubt that's probably just me.

I used to like to go into bars I've never been in, by myself, and
eavesdrop on people. Not for info on them - they're strangers I'll
probably never see again - but just to listen to how people talk, how
they enunciate, the types of chat about people and events (rarely
ideas), and the types of cons people are laying down truly fascinate
me. The best places were bars with at least two pool tables and Stevie
Ray Vaughan blasting out of the juke. Lots of colorful speech in those.

On a few occasions I've found myself staying at a ritzy hotel near the
ocean, and there were very ornate swimming pools equipped with
"swim-up" bars. Not a bad place to sip well drinks: margaritas, pina
coladas, mojitos, etc. But that's about the ONLY place I'll drink those
drinks. Think about it: the thing is built so people will be drinking
while physically IN A SWIMMING POOL. If you don't see the beauty in
that...

In Denmark a glass of regular wine (one that costs $8-10 per bottle at a
supermarket) is $7. $20 for the bottle. Better wine you usually have to
buy a whole bottle and it is usually $30 and up. Few place you have a
selection of wines by the glass (mostly at italian places, where you get
to choose barbera d'alba, dolcetto, chianti, etc.).
In Italy you get a whole bottle for $12 (e.g. a barbera d'alba. and
you can take it with you if you won't finish it.

Margarita, anywhere because they are the perfect combination.

Any drink at the Nobody Inn in Doddiscombsleigh (really) Devon while
reading the wine list that contains over 700 wines and 240 whiskies.

First cup of tea at home with my family because it's the perfect start

There's a big Memorial Day weekend bash that I have been attending for
30 years now. It's a big old drunken campout. My two favorite
locations to drink are at this party.

(1) Thursday afternoon at the Boogie, when my camp is all set up.
Sure I was drinking while setting up camp, but the "all done" beer is
special.

(2) Saturday afternoon happy hour at the Boogine. There's really
nothing quite like it and, yes, it's one of those things where you
just have to be there. Usually I'd be drinking some kinda rum punch
from the bar.

My home is always my favorite place to drink whisky. It's where I'm
most at ease and am most likely to take my time and really enjoy what
I'm drinking... But outside, there's a whisky bar in Vancouver I live
quite near called Shebeen. It really is a whisky bar and has about 160
bottles give or take. It's a very small room, and not so many people
know about it. You actually have to walk through another bar owned by
the same people, out the back, across a small courtyard and go through
one more small red door to get there. They'll let you nose any bottle
on the shelf, and the prices are quite reasonable for what they serve.
Another plus is nobody looks at me funny when I take notes about what
I'm drinking.

WE just returned from our first ever family vacation. We've been
married for 14 years, never had a real wedding or anything that
resembled a honeymoon. Our child was born 2 years later and we've
never taken a "trip, trip" without it being business or visiting
family. We took a two week, all inclusive trip to Mexico.

There is no place more wonderful on the planet, with or without
alcohol, for me, than to sit facing the turquoise waters, watching the
waves, finding shells, smelling the air and feeling the sand between my
toes and the warm water on my body. Adding a drink to that is simply
icing on the cake.

I also enjoy a warm bath, with coconutty or kakui (sp?) nut scented oil
and a glass of wine with candles. I keep swearing that I'm going to do
it daily, but I'm Ms. IN a Hurry so I often forget to relax and smell
the roses.

While in Mexico, after dinner a few evenings, at this special
restaurant at the hotel, they made a fancy Mexican coffee that was a
real "production"...lit fires on the tequila, whipped cream...stuff I
never eat! But I died and went to heaven sitting there watching (I
filmed it and might be able to share it on here), listend to live
Mexican music and felt as if my husband would have to drag me to the
airport and get a crane to lift me onto the plane.

We've had major snow since I've returned which has been far from
enjoyable for me and where I live, they are not prepared for this
amount of snow. They are very short on plows and sanders and I've been
housebound. I might make a trek out today but I'll have to see if
anthing melts first.

Those are my dream places for drinks. Sadly, I'll be going through my
annual cancer follow up and will be stopping alcohol for about 6 weeks,
so I'll have to find something that comes close to enjoyable.

Good topic :-)

I like drinking the 3.2 beer (even Coors) while camping in the mountains
in Colorado. Actually, the 3.2 Coors tastes better than the regular
strength Coors that you have to buy at a liquor store.

At home I much prefer strong beers.
