PK's Poll - Pick Your Poison

photokitty

You're at a Saturday evening wedding reception with a a full open bar - SCORE!! 

What are you drinking and how much? 

**Mixed drinks included neat liquors. Bc a single malt scotch isn't a shot, it's too sophisticated to be insulted like that. (My bad)

The second option for each type states you are drinking more than normal, it does not imply you are wasted, just that you will imbibe more than you would on a normal night - when you are paying or at home.

What, no option for a nice Scotch?

No matter how much there is to drink, I'll probably get one single glass of Scotch or whiskey, neat.

Crud! I should have just said hard liquor instead of mixed drinks, my bad! I knew I was forgetting something

I'm not a big drinker so I would have a glass of wine as long as they had something I liked (Reisling, Pinot Grigo or Moscato).  If not I would do a vodka based mixed drink or two and then a lot of Diet Coke/Pepsi.

Inkdancer

I will forgive you since you did not forget the turtles.

buddysmom80

Vodka all the way. If they have Ketel One I'll get that on the rocks with lime. If not I'll get a Captain Morgan and ginger ale (tastes just like cream soda!!!)

arrippa

I would probably drink whatever red they have in my normal amount unless I was driving. Then I would have one glass of wine and then switch to non alcoholic drinks.

Amyzen83

Dang no Irish cream for my coffee? Actually I find at weddings I'm not an indulger because I don't like feeling that full ate/drank too much feeling especially if I'm done up all pretty

csuave

I can do all of the above but I picked champagne.  I love the bubbly and don't have it that often.

Red wine is a close second

Simple mixed drink is third

Beer is fourth but might move up the list if it is craft

If I'm DD for some reason or sick my NA choice is a Shirley Temple, but I don't think I have even not been drinking at a wedding.

@buddysmom80 I love cream soda; I will have to give the Captain ginger drink a try.

buddysmom80

@csuave you'll thank me later

It's usually served with a lime too if you want to get fancy-pants.

KeptInStitches

Wine. I don't drink much normally, so I'd be "several glasses above my average", which in this case would mean two glasses over the evening tops.

AddieCake

I would be torn between my fave mixed drink and champagne because I love both.

doeydo

I like sugary drinks.  I'd drink about the same as I would on a 'regular' night out.

grumbledore

Damn you all are teetotalers. Given the option, I'd likely have 3-4 vodka sodas (assuming there was a vodka I liked available), maybe 5 if it was a really long night. Otherwise I'd drink wine, who knows how much.

ETA: Not if I was driving.

Liatris2010

I'd have one or two more drinks than normal, normal being one or two drinks. So I'm drinking more, but not enough to show my hoohah on the dance floor. I'm more likely to try a new drink at an open bar, since I won't be stuck with it if I don't like it, but I'm not going to get four drinks at once and try and juggle them, or misplace my drink and just order another.

Peaseblossom55

I'm mostly a wine person. Red if I feel like getting drunk, white if I just want to relax.

Maggie0829

I tend to over indulge in white white.  I have come to realize that when I am at a wedding (or any otehr event) where we are served rather then pour our own drinks, I drink a lot faster (so my wine doesn't get warm) and I don't realize just how much I have drank (busy talking and dancing) until it is almost too late.

emmyg65

@doeydo Best sketch ever!

I'd be alternating between mixed drinks and champagne, and I'd actually probably drink a little less than I might otherwise because I wouldn't want to get sloppy. Depends on the wedding though. And I wouldn't mind if you only had beer and wine or whatever! I ain't picky about my booze.

MairePoppy

I'd drink my champagne toast and my husband's because he doesn't drink and I'd never, ever waste champagne. 

Then I'd sneak off to the bar to meet my other love - Captain Morgan. I'd have him with a diet coke, then in a mojito if it's summer. Maybe I'd do a hurricane or a rum punch. After this, my dance moves improve vastly.

I'm also happy, very happy, with wine - cabernet, merlot, mal bec because I'm a meat eater. Beef and red wine are so good together.

In my everyday life, I might or might not have a glass of wine or cocktail with dinner. 

SmileDamnit

I'd likely start with a cocktail (bourbon, gin martini), then switch to wine with dinner. I'm not one to turn down bubbles, though, so I'd enjoy a glass (or 3) of champagne, too

ei34

I usually go with white wine (a glass or two more than if I was out on a regular night), since I'm lazy and most weddings I attend have bottles of red and white right there on the tables. If I'm walking to the bar anyway I sometimes go the Cosmo route. Thanks for the poll @photokitty now I want a drink!!

emmaaa

Most nights I am a beer girl, any kind, preferably a nice porter. But on special occasions I'll drink wine, definitely red. And I may throw a mixed drink including rum or whiskey in there.

Ditto. I'd probably go with champagne because I don't get to drink it that often.

lovesclimbing

I put wine, normal amount. Although considering normal is 1/2 - 1 glass every month or two, I probably should have said wine more than normal because I'd probably have a glass or two and a glass of champagne.

lyndausvi

I'm a beer, wine and champagne girl.    In the islands I drank  Jager, not so much anymore. 

 

cupcait927

I picked champagne because I'd drink that every day if I could (never met a bottle I didn't like). In reality, I'd probably have a glass (or three of champagne) and then switch to wine (probably red but I don't discriminate) for the rest of the night. I love a good craft beer but more when I'm at a bar or a casual dinner. Fancy dinner I go the wine route.

I'm happy to see we have 2 ladies among us that are THAT GIRL!

These gifs are in your honor…whoever you may be ;-)

I like my mixed drinks. Last night FI and I went out to dinner and I had the yummiest thing! It was this drink with peaches and mango rum. Yummy!

MairePoppy

Here I go

thisismynickname2

I didn't select the "I'm wasted" option, because I won't get wasted. I will get just drunk enough to have a blast but keep my wits about me!  I will drink anything on that list and lots of it because it's free, and I'm too cheap to pay city-prices on my favorite drinks on a regular basis.

Yep, depending on the brand of champagne and whiskey. . . I know, I know, I'm a snobby bitch. . . I would choose bubbly or scotch, one ice cube.
