I typically shy away from American made beer that isn't Sam Adams. I really prefer dark beers, but when I'm in the mood for something lighter, I'll drink a Blue Moon and I'm not afraid to admit it. My favorite seasonal beer is Oc/ktoberfest, in all of its incarnations.

I should mention that I don't really drink all that often, at least not to excess, but when I do end up hungover, it is usually the fault of top shelf tequila.

My favorite alcoholic beverage, though, without any doubt, is a very slightly warmed snifter of well aged, single malt scotch. I don't know as much about scotch as I'd like to, and currently this preference is way out of my budget's league, but I can safely say that I could lose my liver to a good amount of well-crafted scotch.
