Glennfidich...actua lly have been to that distillery, though I was too young to drink anything (14). Not a scotch fan; I think it tastes like water run through old newspaper (never tried single malt, though my father has)
Hmm...I go for taste, not price personally. So Seagrams Gin and Canada Dry Diet Tonic for me.
Bloody Marias (that's bloody mary mix with tequila...has a smoother taste than vodka)
As for beer, Yuengling is my choice, though I also like Killians, Becks Dark...and the Yuengling Porter is quite good. If you really want a true porter, though, Fuller's London Porter is exquisite (but boy, it'll knock your socks off, the flavor is so intense)
Confession, the only thing I've had alcohol-wise for the holidays was a bottle of Red Oak, as their brewery is in Eastern Guilford County, NC, about 15 minutes from my mother's house.
