Blood Thinners, ain't touched alcohol probable for 15 years now... rarely touched it before then to be honest... That said, probable the cheap stuff (the sweeter and cheaper the better)... Grandpa's Muscadine wine was pretty good. Home grown and brewed... always preferred a wine cooler most the time when I did take a sip...

Funny, I was always a cheap drunk even though I am a big person. One beer and I felt good, was friendly, got sleepy, said goodnight, didn't sleep very well usually for some reason. Far as I know, wife never has took but one sip in her life... and it was by mistake.

Can't drink anymore either because of health issues.  But when I did drink, it was one, maybe two glasses and that was enough.  As for sleep -- alcohol could knock me out, but 2 hours later, I was wide awake.  I  used to like a dry wine more than sweet, but wine was only with dinner with family and friends.  Any other time, it was beer.  Just before I quit drinking, it was Mike's Hard whatever.  I miss those beverages.  Refreshing on a hot day, then after a couple, I couldn't stand up.  LOL

Don't drink wine. Never have except for once when a few of us got stuck with duty over the Christmas holidays at Ft. Hood Texas and could only scrape up enough dough for a few bottles of the bird from the class 6 store. BAD experience!  VERY bad.

Well, I have health issues as well, and really shouldn't drink, but I once in a blue moon I will have a glass of wine.  When I do it's usually Rodney Strong Chardonnay or Kendall Jackson Chardonnay; the drier the better!  Usually runs about $14/bottle.

I really love Scotch too, either Glenlivet or Glenfiddich.

Ah, the days of being able to drink ...

I don't think I have ever bought a bottle of wine in my life.
Closest I can come is coolers for lady friends... Which were also few and far between.
The coolers, I mean, not the lady friends...  :whistle:
