Ale's definitely out - that's a winter drink for me as is rough cider. In summer I prefer Blackthorn or a decent lager - especially when it's served from an ice encrusted jug from the freezer (though I've never come across any pubs over here that do that). Also partial to Tinto de Verano & Campari with soda.

Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

I like my real beer so in summer I'll have a pint of one of the local (Hampshire) "golden" ales.
I really like wine & champagne but prefer to drink it with food these days....my quagmire of greed....my cesspit of laziness and unfairness....all I am doing is sticking two fingers up at nurses, doctors and other hard working employed professionals...
