Current Drink
Based on current books but for drinks. Initially this was to be called current Tea, but some people drink coffee. This is a good place to list how you like your tea/coffee. Good for meeting people from IRC so that you know what drink to offer them.
Feel free to enter your own preferences and make improvements. Please try to keep to the current layout and alphabetical order of names. Also try to list drinks in order of preference with favorite at top.

Hot Drinks
I don't like milk or sugar in any of my hot drinks. I like the unadulterated taste of plant.
- Green Tea, sometimes with Yogi (a mixture of spices that makes it taste like potpourri).
- Coffee made from real beans. I don't like to drink this habitually but I do enjoy it when I'm at swbs.
- Standard tea. Not really my favorite and again I don't drink it regularly but it is acceptable.

Alcoholic drinks
- Home made alcohol. As long as it isn't made in a bath tub or a bucket then I don't mind. I find it a little more meaningful sampling homemade alcohol than mass produced alcohol.
- Cider. Primarily I like to drink this when I want to get drunk. It is very easy to pallet. The original alco pop some might say.
- Local beers. When it comes to buying from the pub I prefer alcohol that isn't too generic and that's fairly specific for the area.
- Red Wine.

Cold drinks
- Milk. Ideally skimmed, if not semiskimmed. I tend to drink this like water. I like my milk to be very fresh (as it spoils easily). I seem to have a reaction to something in tap water, which I suspect is chlorine. It tends to make me feel slightly nauseous and I feel what's kind of like a subtle gag reflect when drinking more than two small glasses. Milk causes no such reaction whatever ever so long as it is fresh and settles down very well.
- Orange Juice. Great for satisfying thirst. Tasty and healthy. Don't drink it as much as milk because it it more expensive, although it doesn't spoil just as easily and is good in summer.
- Spring water. Water from a natural spring, especially as high altitudes is so much better than mineral water. Don't confuse the two. Good spring water never causes any discomfort during consumption. It often has a subtle taste of the ground it came from, for example is can sometimes taste like iron. The main issue with it is that it is hard to get and easy to be paranoid that it might contain nasty microbes.
