I can drink it but would never buy any for myself.

My preferences:

1: Good vodka (Belvedere)
2: Good whiskey (Gentleman Jack, Walker black label)
3: Craft beer
4: Shooters and tooters and coolers
5: Mass produced beer
6: Wine

I like cheap wine. I can enjoy it without worrying about cost. My current favorite is $4 Green Fin wine from Trader Joe's. I have cases of the white and the red.

Wine stinks. Literally - I don't like the smell. It's a good thing I've never gone for alcohol, because I think coffee stinks too.

Caffeine is not a cure for alcohol. The combination just makes you a freak.

The only cure for alcohol is time. Though more alcohol can briefly postpone the side-effects. Extra water and Vitamin B can lessen the side-effects.

Huge beer fan here.

But the best wines are far and away better than the best beers.

No contest.

I'm no snob. I like it all.

or you could just develop hangover immunity like me, I haven't had a hangover since I was 15 and it's not for a lack of trying ;)

I can drink wine...but I don't care for it...especially red wine. Dry wines are too bitter for my preference.
PLUS, if I drink very much, it gives me the screaming shits...so I stay away from it.

I could go the rest of my life without beer, but could never give up wine. I'd rather not give up scotch but could if I had to.

I'll stick with the spirits at home. Whiskey, Gin, Vodka, etc., and handle beer while out and about. Wine? Is that for peeing in?
