I drink what's available. I generally prefer light or dark rum and pale ales but will try anything once and drink plenty of the special.

As for the uniform thing, I've never put on a uniform for the express purpose of going out to drink. Anyone who does is a jackass. I have stopped by bars or the VFW while in uniform. Then again, I've probably gotten more free drinks from people talking to me while out of uniform. One or two is nice from time to time but I prefer to pay for my own. When you are driving and stop off for a beer, it becomes a pain in the ass when the bartender keeps setting bottles in front of you. Now, the case of beer at a grocery store was both unexpected and more than welcome...

On that thought, my brother-in-law did go out drinking with my brother once while he was in the Reserves. Not in uniform but according to my brother he couldn't keep his military ID in his wallet. Then he went active, deployed to Iraq and last I heard had come home on leave and not gone back. Probably too busy bragging about being in the Army at some bar. At least they stopped his pay last I heard.
