Alcoholic Beverage of Choice
One of my final assignments for the beverage operations class i am taking involves a survey about alcohol. Assuming you drink some kind of alcoholic beverage (it could be at any point in your life), could you do my a favor and answer the five questions after the jump. Thanks for your help.
1. What is your name and age?
2. What is your current drink of choice and it’s cost?
3. What was your drink of choice when you were in your early 20’s?
4. Approximately what did you pay for that drink in your early 20’s?
5. What do you think you will prefer 10 years from now?

I already answered in your email, but I’ll answer here for fun:
- John, 27
- Single malt scotch, $40 a bottle
- vodka, straight
- $30 a bottle
- single malt scotch. or maybe some sort of fancy brandy, while sitting in my overstuffed armchair and silk pajamas in front of the fire.
1. mandy, 28
2. dirty dry gin martini. buying all the ingredients together is around $40. single drink is about $10.
3. dirty dry vodka martini.
4. similar price as above.
5. i’ll probably move onto wine more at that point.
don’t forget to start your lines with # to get lists.
1. Steve, 24
2. Single malt, i’ll go with john’s $40 if I purchase a bottle, though Bushie’s stimulus check may go to something a bit nicer in the near future. $7-12 if I get it at a bar here in NYC.
3. Vodka tonic with lime
4. $4-$7 or so
5. A nice red wine, though i’ll probably still enjoy a scotch on occasion.
Kudos on your good taste hutch heh.
don’t forget to put up a cheat sheet for that stuff somewhere in the future.
Steve, you drink Islay scotch at all? It was pretty much all I drank all winter, and you can actually get really good stuff from $30-$40. I’ve got a really nice bottle of Balvenie at home I’ve been slowly draining.
The only Islay I’ve had is Laphroaigh. I enjoyed it, but boy jesus will that stuff knock you on your ass. That’s definitely a winter-drinkin’ scotch heh.
I’ve actually been to Islay, but unfortunately it was before I acquired my taste for single malts.
To be honest I haven’t bought a bottle in quite some time. I’m Scottish myself and my entire family lives over there. Since the moment they realized that I liked the stuff I’ve received a steady supply of single barrel scotches each of my family members claims to be “the best on the island.”
DUDE, THAT’S AWESOME! GIVE ME SOME!
Some family friends are visiting this week actually so I might get a new supply. If I do, ill totally bring some down for the yellow party.
My dad has recently been hell-bent on the idea of popularizing single malts in China (he’s a biochemist, but used to work in a distillery). So he’s been in talks with some small distilleries about acquiring the rights to distribute over there. If it actually happens, Stirling Scotches all around!
Yo, scotch is yellow! We should drink nothing but.
And that sounds ridiculously cool about your dad.
- Evan, 25
- Sam Adams, maybe $7.50 a sixer
- Yuengling
- From $1 to $4, depending on the bar.
- Blood of the infidels. Or probably still pale ale, maybe Smithwicks.
- Kevin, 38
- Seagrams 7 $18 for a big bottle, although I’ll intersperse it with some single malt scotch if I’m not feeling so cheap.
- Tequilla
- I don’t remember what a bottle of Cuervo went for in 1990.
- Probably whiskey, same as now.
thanks, y’all!
1. Sammy, 25
2. Whiskey, $30ish a bottle
3. Miller Lite
4. $3-$4 per at a bar
5. Whiskey
What’s with all the $30-40 bottle people. Is it that I drink too much or do you guys just spend too much on booze? Because while I love me some $50+ scotch, I go through too much of it to be spending $40 a bottle every time I buy one.
I haven’t bought a bottle of whiskey in a long time… but it’s still my favorite.
I’ve had the same bottle of scotch since winter. I usually maybe have two glasses a week or so, so I make ’em last.
Also, Seagram’s is undrinkable swill on its own.
1. Justin, 29
2. Maker’s Mark whiskey, $25-$30 a bottle
3. Rum or vodka, something cheap and effective at trashy clubs.
4. $15 a bottle when at home, $6 a drink when I was out.
5. Probably have moved up to the pricier scotch stuff.
mmmmmm I’m having a maker’s mark right now. 1 cube. so nice.
I’ma make a rum and coke and listen to something islandy.
Kevin , 40. Vodka, usually with Coke and Skyy being the bottle of choice for mixing. $23.00 or there abouts for a 1.75litre bottle. lager was me drink all those years ago (i mean stuff like Fosters or maybe Heineken)cannot truly remember but I would guess about 1.25 great british pounds sterling for a pint in a standard (not city centre) pub. Probably singlr malt scotch exclusively (if I still have a liver that is)
Luke, are you writing a paper?
i suppose you could call it that
i’ll read it
1. What is your name and age? Anthony / 23
2. What is your current drink of choice and it’s cost? Long Island Iced Tea (6-8 bucks)
3. What was your drink of choice when you were in your early 20’s? I guess this doesn’t apply to me
4. Approximately what did you pay for that drink in your early 20’s? N/A

- Rum and Coke
- I don’t know
- Probably Rum and Coke…maybe just Rum
- Jonathan (Paris), 24
- 7 & 7, and probably $7 at a bar (though it’s what I get in A.C. all the time). Otherwise, it’s a non-crappy beer.
- Yuengling
- $2-5
- I’ll probably jump around to another crisp, clean mixed drink, such as Gin & Tonic.
1. Shawny, 22
2. Crown Royal Whiskey, $5 I think (I usually get it on special)
3. Molson Canadian Beer is my out as a college student to get drunk drink
4. $2.50 when not on special
5. I’m really starting to appreicate things other than beer more, but I’m such a beer boy I’d probably never stray.
