Drinks You Now Like Or Dislike
Discussion
I have always liked drinking Coke, and more recently getting a taste for Pepsi.
Apart from the occasional Carlsberg or Belgium Beer (Leffe Blonde) and some Jack Daniels, I rarely drink alcohol but do enjoy a relaxing drink at home in the evening.
Can the PH Drinkers suggest some alternatives to try for home consumption.
Preferably not wine or wine based as I stick to my guns to have never bothered or wanted to get into wine culture. My parents are 'into' wine and it just winds me up.
Am I too young for Gin and Tonic ? (31)

You don't have to be "into" wine to enjoy it. I love a glass of wine, actually usually a bottle, but your parents would probably classify me as a wine heathen. Try a nice Sauvignon Blanc at around the £6 mark, and get it properly cold before drinking. Nom nom.
Even if I liked your suggestion I would feel awkward - I didn't even drink the wine at my own wedding.dtmpower said:

What is it that would make you feel awkward? If I'm just quaffing wine at home, I tend to stick it in a glass like this - no-one could really tell it's wine if that's your concern.

Just the principle - if I change tact I will feel like my parents have won. For so long I have been anti wine. Always said I won't drink it or get all obsessive about it like some of my peers, Rose this , Cabernet that , Plonk Plonk. What is it that would make you feel awkward?

Takes away some of the pretence.

Dear dtmpower,
liked now dislike: cola. Drunk gallons of the stuff as a youth, now far too sweet.
disliked now liked: red wine. Preferred white until friend had a good quality one and that was me hooked for life
liked, disliked then liked again: (after 35 years!) cider - weaned on it but first teenage overindulgence with technicolour finish so couldn't touch it for a long time, recently however I'm getting to sup again. It's my partners long drink so occasionally I'll take a sip.
Always disliked: gin, pastis, Martini.
Always liked: ale, lager, white wine,
Are you buying?
regards,
Jet

Can't stand whisky since I consumed rather too much of it once as a teenager. A kindly neighbour tempted me with a sip of something at £100/bottle but to me it just tasted like meths with a teabag.
As for the age thing, it is a pity that some 20-somethings have got stuck in their teen days. I attend quite a lot of wedding breakfasts and it seems such a shame, when everybody is eating nice food and enjoying nice wine, to see youngsters with a pint of lager because 'it's they only thing they like'.
