My father liked German beer, Riesling wine, many mid-range bourbons, and sadly, Budweiser.

Sweet tea and black coffee.

My Dad drank Shiner Bock. I didn't realize that the 6 pack he picked up at 10 am only tided him over until his midday case that he would pickup when he went to town for lunch. But hell he was a farmer, all they do is drink.

Dad's from Wisconsin - all they drink is brandy all year round.

Oh the drinks change based on the season, but it is still always brandy

Here he is at the bridge of his ship - USS Iowa.
Those eyes are watching his grandson in the blue shirt and at the same time imagining waves breaking over the wildcats.

Schlitz.

On weekends when we'd go hunting or shooting at my uncles farm, we'd all go to town afterwards and hit a few bars-me and my cousins were kids at the time, mind you-and the adults would get beers and the bar and jaw or watch the game. Us kids would use the game machines (not video games-they weren't invented yet) if available, or play outside, or go to my house in town to play.
If we stayed around the bars, we'd get sodas if we asked for em, and could even wheedle a bag of chips or something from the parents to buy for us.

It ended sometime around when my dad retired, and started showing symptoms of parkinsons.

But they were good times, and good memories, the 1970's.

Old man drank Genesee. Now he has Lager in his fridge.

I remember him drinking hot tea at breakfast. Iced at lunch and dinner. In the summer I remember his beer was Hamm's. First sip of beer I ever took was probably Hamm's. I was 5 or 6. Basement of my grandparents' house with him, my uncle and my grandfather. Shooting pool. I was eating a bowl of that green mint chocolate chip ice cream. Tried the beer and thought, "YUCK!"

Nowadays his drink is Coke Zero. Coffee in the morning. Never any alcohol unless he has a sip of whatever I'm drinking.

Crown and water.

Growing up, I remember my father as mainly a beer drinker. His beers of choice were usually Busch or Busch Light. When people were coming over or I guess when we had a little extra cash, he'd spring for Michelob. Lots of great memories of my dad and uncle on summer nights and at big family dinners tilting cans of Busch discussing the world in general.

After he discovered Gosling's Black Seal, dad went through a rum and Coke phase that seemed to pass when my grandfather died.

Following his bypass surgery, he scaled it way back to Berringer's white zin which my mom also drinks.

That was my Old Man's beer. He also liked vodka martinis, Manhattans and the occasional vodka tonic.

Mom liked Manhattens and Cutty Sark and water.

I think I'll raise a Manhatten to their memory tonight.

Here's to you Mom and Dad!

I don't think he had a brand. A beer every once and a while, never seen him drink more than two in a day. Never seen him do hard liquor.

He can't have alcohol anymore because of a medical issue, he says st. pauly N/A is the best N/A beer but normally has busch n/a.

coors light
Tanqueray(sp?) gin and tonic

in 8th grade-- eric s. and I decided that since his dad drank about a 1/5th of Scoresby scotch(fine single malt $6 a bottle in the 80's) that these 2 fine young American Jr Varsity Lineman could split one during a summer night on a camping trip....I have not willingly drank scotch since.

Miller Lite beer.

He had a little of everything in his liquor cabinet. My parents were big entertainers in the day. When I was still in the house he would usually have a Kessler's or Johnnie Walker Red on the rocks. Lately on the rare occasions when he drinks it will be a Templeton Rye on the rocks.

Root beer and grape soda.

Very well, where do I begin? My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he would drink, he would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Some times he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy, the sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. My childhood was typical, summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds, pretty standard really. At the age of 12 I received my first scribe. At the age of fourteen, a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles. There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum, it's breathtaking, I suggest you try it.
