Typical British meal -
Bangers and mash
Lager
Typical American meal -
Pizza
Lager
Well, it's typical in my circles, anyway.
I prefer beer to lager but you are right lager is probably now more popular than beer in Britain and I also suspect that pizza is probably eaten as much as bangers and mash as well.
Amongst women I would say the drink of preference is what we call alcol pops
