Apparently this is the new top ten of Britain's favourite spirit brands, 1) Smirnoff 2) Bells 3) The Famous Grouse 4) Baileys 5) Gordon's 6) Bacardi 7) Glen's Vodka 8) Teacher's 9) Jack Daniel's 10) William Grant's whisky.

Don't drink Christine. Ask me again in say 5 years and might be a diffrent story.

I've never heard of some of them. In our house: GIN -Gordon's SCOTCH - Glenfiddich/Glenmorangie/Glenlivet IRISH WHISKEY - Jamiesons VODKA - anybody's RUM/BACARDI - makes me sick! nell

2, 3, and 5 Ann Glos

No, I don't drink spirits either. Keep a small bottle of brandy for poorly tums or for sloshing in the chocolate truffle torte I've just discovered how to make (yummmmmm) :)

no, mines southern comfort and lemomade, or brandy and port mixed lol sandra

love southern comfort and jack danielsxxxxx(:

Famous Grouse what did it do?

I drink 4, Baileys and 5, Gordons Gin. I'll drink anybodies White Wine though! Viv

I'll make sure I don't stand near Viv with my white wine at a party. Or else keep tight hoild of it. Ron

Got 1, 2, 4, 5 and 9 in the cupboard. Blimey we must be a right pair of alkies!! Also got some Johnnie Walker BLUE (present from hubbies business colleagues) - JW not on the list - hubby reckons it may've cost about 50 quid??? Does anyone know if thats true??? Maz. XX ps got 2 in my glass at the moment!

My poison is Pernod and Coke (or MUD as its called in our local though if you use diet coke it's referred to as SLURRY!)

tipple of choice is whiskey, but I can't stand scotch so drink Irish; Jamesons or bushmills. I can drink Jack Daniels at a push Don't mind a southern comfort occasionally too - especially if it's the higher strength imported stuff. Incidentally - Glen's vodka ? Never heard of it, is that the famous "russian Glen" then ?

Went round the Jamesons place in Dublin a few months ago which was really interesting, did the tasting test at the end too, which was fine although it was a bit early in the day for it lol Always knew I didn't like scotch and now I know why - it's the way the grain is dried over peat which gives it the smoky earthy flavour - and as you say, irish is much smoother (coz it's distilled three times - see, I paid attention lol) I was tempted to buy a bottle of the really expensiev stuff, but couldn't really justify it. At the moment I have a bottle of jamesons - cheap but quite nice

I rarely drink at all, but when I do it is Bacardi and coke. Personally, I would rather stick with my tea.

I've just polished off a bottle of Baileys in about 4 or 5 days - love it!! Got a bottle of Vladivar Vodka to start on, thats nice with vanilla coke as is barcardi. Also like a glass of white wine too! Tracey

I am soooo Mrs predictable!! Number 1 for me, don't like any other spirits, Steph ;-)))

Son drinks Vodka and Coke (didn't we all at 20? LOL) Husband used to drink Glenfiddich, but can't any more because of the drugs he's on now.....can't drink alcohol at all :o( Mine's an Archers and lemonade with plenty of ice-no lemon..thanks...........who's round is it? LOL Bit early yet though- even for me! Hic! Sue

Sue its Peach Schnapps. Very sweet and doesn't taste strong until you fall over .... used in cocktails a lot too. Maz. XX

Baileys at Christmas with after dinner mints ummmmmmm My main tipple is Bacardi and Coke and if I can get my hands on Wray and Nephews rum I'm in heaven, anybody else like it, its overproof rum and delicious the king of all rums, getting carried away now lol Lynda
