I have a single glass of wine a couple nites a week in the evening before dinner at home, and that is usually only when I drink wine.

Ordering drinks at bars or restaurants is pricey enough so, when that is the venue I usually figure why pay too much for wine or beer, might as well have a hard liquor drink - whiskey sour.

I’ve taken to having an old fashioned since most bartenders know how to make that. Very few places have decent rum or decent rum drinks, and that’s my usual at home.

I don’t drink beer at all. Or more properly, I have rules for when I drink beer, so that I drink beer very very rarely.

I’m all over the place on wine. Usually something semi sweet is where I go. I’ll go with a Malbec or red blend if I’m drinking a red. For white, I’ll go with a drier Riesling or a nice Chablis. Sometimes I’ll have a Prosecco, but I really dislike Moscato that some of my friends like. I’m picky on Chardonnays, and not a fan of Pinot Grigio. I do use Sauvignon Blanc for cooking. That almost always works in a dish calling for white wine.
