I drink many more craft beers from smaller breweries now than I did only seven or eight years ago. My brother lives in an area of the country (some 220 miles from where I am...) where there are a couple of really decent local breweries which produce some very nice beers. There's a few more mass produced bitters and beers around these parts where I live which are more readily available, but they're not quite as nice. Perfectly drinkable though.
I don’t drink much in the way of larger any more. Peroni, Pilsner and San Miguel are about the only two that I'll touch now. Maybe Fosters at a push on occasions where none of the other three are available, but that's pretty much it.
I also used to be a huge fan of cider, but I developed a medical condition several years ago which now means whilst I can still drink it, I just can't drink anywhere near as much. About a pint is about my limit these days as the acidity can upset the condition. I now tend to only drink cider a three or four times a year - one of which is when I'm on holiday. I shall be participating in a cider or two when I'm away from home for five days, in just over three months time...!
Whiskey is something my father drinks. I do participate in a whiskey or two but the pair of us only really like the expensive single malts. The pair of us have visited the Oban Distillery (Scotland) three times over the years. I prefer brandy personally, but I certainly don’t have anything against whiskey if someone were to put one in front of me...
I hardly touch wine. Whether it's red or white, the stuff gives me a chronic headache after only a few glasses. I have no idea how some people can go through bottles of the stuff in a week... I may have a glass or two on Christmas Day purely because everyone else is, but that's it.
With all this said, I only really drink during the weekend or when I'm away. During the week, I very rarely drink. I have to be up and out of bed not much later than 6:30am...
