I would seriously smack a few of you upside the head for some of the drink selections listed here. Seriously, what the hell is wrong with some of you kids. That said, the actual answer depends on a whole slew of questions that are being used to determine what I drink. Where am I going? What's the attire? Who am I with? What time of the night? General mood? Type of Venue? Type of booze available? Give me details and I'll tell you what I'd drink.
