I never used to drink; the past couple of years, though, I’ve really needed that extra bit of help, as it were (I blame not being able to get my ADHD medication anymore). I mostly just drink cheap vodka (when broke) or bourbon (when employed). On the rare occasion I drink vodka while employed, I like Belvedere, especially with water and ice. For bourbon, I really like the cheapest Four Roses (I didn’t think the more expensive bottles of Four Roses were any better than the original). Buffalo Trace and Maker’s Mark (basically, I like the Beginner Bourbons) is usually my fallback if I can’t get regular Four Roses. I don’t really do mixers with any of these – they tend to give me a headache and I think they often just taste worse mixed than if you just drank it straight and then chased it with something.
It’s really too bad Canadian Mist is so vile and disgusting because it’s usually the cheapest whiskey they have at the liquor store. I’d rather keep drinking the hand sanitizer plastic bottle vodka over Canadian Mist any day.
Never been a big wine fan, but I do enjoy sangria – fruit is pretty rad. I don’t mind moscato, but usually I prefer it to be sparkling because otherwise it kind of reminds me a bit too much of drinking like… bad grape juice. Rieslings are OK, too, and Zinfandels. Not a big fan of the red wines, though, I had drunk one of my step-father’s red wines (I think they got it from CostCo, of all places), I have no recollection of what it was, but I remember thinking the bottle looked gimmicky, I think might’ve been from like, a movie director, ANYWAY, I thought that one was actually pretty decent. Plum wine is pretty good chilled.
I had something, I want to say it was Mezcal once, and it tasted like I was drinking essence of burnt firewood, just like, not good.
There’s a winery in the town I used to live in called, I think, Wilson Creek that made relatively cheap (I think back then, it was just like, $10 for a bottle) almond champagne you could get at Walmart that was pretty good.
