I'll assume that everyone here is old enough to drink responsibly (unless you're a poor American who has to wait until he/she is 21... my sympathies, in that case). :P Besides, even though we talked about various beverages on the old forum, I don't think we ever had a thread like this. So this could be interesting. Here are my picks:

Favourite clear vodka: tie between Chopin Rye Vodka (arguably the best and smoothest spirit ever, but very expensive) and Stolichnaya (much cheaper than the former, but still a fantastic tasting mid-range vodka).
Favourite nalewka/nastoyka/nastoyanka: tie between Soplica – Pigwowa (this is a quince flavoured Soplica, really quite amazing) and Żołądkowa Gorzka (you can't really get better than this yummy mix of fruits and various herbs).
Favourite flavoured vodka: Żubrówka (a classic flavour; although produced industrially only since the 20th century, the bison grass recipe has been used in Poland since the times of the Polish Commonwealth - if not even earlier!)

Favourite Scotch whisky: Johnnie Walker  Black Label (my brother got me into this; while I'm not a whisky expert, since I've always been more into vodka, I do know that Scotch is superior to most other types and this is one of the best of the best... it's actually what Deckard drinks in Blade Runner from 1982).

Favourite dark ale: tie between Theakston Old Peculier and Newcastle Brown Ale (the first spot in this category used to be held by Guinness, but I just can't go back to it after trying those two, they are just so much better... most of Britain's vodka may be bad, but they sure do know a thing or two about beer).
Favourite pale ale: Duvel (one of the best countries in the world for beer must be Belgium and Duvel is so delicious that it's a perfect testament to that).
Favourite lager brand: tie between Prażubr and Żubr Ciemnozłoty (these are both variants of Żubr, the former an unpasteurised version and the latter a darker and stronger one; both are great, but I can't deny that I'm a fan of the animal on the label too heh; the winner for this category is hard to pick actually, since there are so many lagers out there that are easily available; honourable mentions go to Kozel and Estrella Damm).

Favourite cider brand: Thatchers (again, there are just as many great cider brands I've tried as there are ones for lager, but in order to not make this post any longer than it needs to be I'm just gonna with good old apple cider from Thatchers).

Feel free to copy my format for yours or use whatever else suits you best. Also, if you're interested in seeing a kind of vodka guide I compiled over the years, you can check that out here: https://www.reddit.com/r/vodka/comments/650m9a/snauuts_guide_to_good_vodka/

Cool thread!
I'm not really a Vodka-person myself, after playing beer-pong with it in Denmark... didn't end well. But I can drink it none the less, the ones I've tasted are Smirnoff, Absolute Vodka and Kalinka27.

One of my favorite beers is Muphy's Irish Red, and I like Tuborg a lot. I'm not really into dark ale, but I do like it nonetheless.

As for scotch whiskey, I really like Highland Park and Ardbeg, and I recently bought an expensive Japanese whiskey called Togouchi, but my most favoured whiskey, and alcoholic beverage at all, of all time, must be the whiskey that Benjamin had a bottle of in his backpack back in our roleplay days... Laphroaig Love

Other than that, I really like Valhalla (Like Jaegermeister, but more spicy and tasteful) and Fireball.
