    Beer for me, whether it be heavy, lager, guiness. At the moment I am back on to Real Ales which are probably my favourite drink.

    The local sells one called Landlord which is lovely.

    I used to drink wine but I have given that up because it's too easy to start downing too many glasses, especially at home.

    Went to Prague on holiday twice a number of years back and their lager beers are absolutely fantastic - nothing like the lagers produced in this country.

    Usually red wine but if I'm having a beer it's either Blandford Fly, Champion Ale or one of the Orkney range (usually Raven).

    The Prince Of Wales which was one of the first pubs in Aberdeen is fantastic for all sorts of Real Ales.

    It's an absolute diamond of a pub and is a local landmark in Aberdeen. Worth a visit if ever in the neighbourhood.

    Decent pub grub as well.

    A proper old fashioned pub the way I have always liked, even when I was a teenager. So much more character than the false chrome/glass establishments with the plastic people.

    Wine with my evening meal. Can be red or rosé depending on what I'm eating, but I don't like white at all.
    A nice chilled lager if it's a hot day.

    I like a wee tait of water in mine.

    I was in the Hebridies working once and that was the way I was TOLD to drink whisky.

    Never argue with a pissed up Heilenman.

    Were you an early adopter of Stella, or did you watch the rest while you clutched at your Tennents and called them ponces?
