1. Bourbon, splash of club soda
2. Gin & Tonic
3. Martini, slightly dirty, anchovy-stuffed olive
4. Sunday morning Bloody Mary
5. Vodka Tonic/ Vodka & Club Soda
6. Manhattan
7. Margarita (recipe by J. Buffett)
8. Scotch, splash of water
9. Cape Cod
10. Bold red wine

That pretty much sums up my drinking habits. Hell, the last two were hard to come up with. #'s 1 and 2 are probably 90% of my boozing, with #4 being a once-a-week ritual.

ok... I have to ask. What's with the Singapore Sling that has folks turned on? I've had them - in fact had them at the very hotel where they were born and find them just way too sweet.
