I was inspired to make this after I realized I'm a beer snob, heh.
What do you drink on those hot summer days?

Personally I'd have to go with beer first.
Personally I'd have to go with a Guinness, you just can't go wrong there.
Or....Mackison's, Bass, Monty Python's Holy Ale (hehehe), and....hmmm....I can't remember the name of it but it was a Brazilian beer.

Beer - preferably Canadian. Or, if possible, a homemade alcoholic slushy. Combine lemonade (or any other juice), ice cubes, vodka and blend to slush.

Oh, and I totally disagree about not being able to go wrong with Guiness.....it's just plain wrong. :)

Yeah, on hot days the last thing I'd want would be alcohol, that's dehydrating! :)
I'd go for cold spring water or lemonade.

There's just something about a hot day and yard work that makes an ice cold beer taste soooo good.

Yep! An ice cold beer is good stuff.

I drink Hot Coffee year-round. I never could get into Iced Coffee, and Iced Tea just is nasty to me. Other than that, I drink Diet Coke, as usual too.

Alcohol dehydrates the body, so I do not drink it on hot summer days like the one in question. I, however, like to drink hot (go figure) Chamimole (sp?) Tea.

Fellow beer snob here. :)
I typically enjoy a dark chocolatey stout, or a porter, but in the summer ... on a hot day? I go for a lighter ale. The Blue Heron from Bridgeport Brewing Company is super, and the Free-Range Red from Laurelwood is awesome any day of the year!
Never heard of Monty Python's Holy Ale... where is that from?

Water - that's pretty much all I drink any time of the year.

Haha! Cute...
I wonder if I can get a hold of that. I know of a place in town that sells a ton of different brews from the UK. I love trying something new.

Penta Water, Iced and Spiced Coffee, Lemonade Ice Tea, Lime Juice, Peach Juice, V8 Splash, Grape Juice, and maybe if it's been a bad day a Screwdriver (vodka and orange juice).

I said water, soda, and juice...because that's what I always drink. I forgot to click on 'I eat popsicles!' but I meant to check it, too.

If its a beer its either Mexican, German or Irish. Usually tho just Margaritas, tea or water.

I drink loads of water all the time, especially in summer. I'll also use my iced tea brewer and make tea. But if it's a gathering of folks, then I'll drink beer... very frigid cold.

There's actually nothing better than strawberry lemonade.... but if I must choose an "adult" beverage make mine a Marguerita......At Midnight.... :lol:

I drink Leinie's Berry Weiss... a beer that's light, refreshing, and taste's like a wine cooler!

First choice is water. But when I want to kick back, either a cold frosty beer or (I am surprised no one said this) Mike;s Hard Lemonade. :cheers:


PS: I must find me some of the Monty Python's Holy Ale!

Cold beer. Sometimes I like a whiskey sour (goes better with ice) and sometimes I drink water or gatorade, and I always have popsicles in my fridge.

All seasons, I imbibe lots and lots of water. In the winter, I tend to have teas when I want to warm up. Summer is the only season in which I drink soda. I only drink a diet soda when I'm sitting out in the hot sun and reading a book. There's something really refreshing about it.

I pretty much stick to water. Occasionally, a nice, cold glass of lemonade is refreshing.

I drink as much coffee in the summer as I do in the winter. It's a year round beverage!

mmmmmm .... Beer .... mmmmmmmmm

I think I hear something in the fridge calling me.

Lots and Lots of Iced Coffee. Of course I do that in the winter. I once went out to Dunkin Donuts during a blizzard with 3 feet of snow on the ground for my iced coffee.

Iced tea is great, or gatorade, or ice water, or ice Coke-Cola is a glass bottle with the original recepie..... Ahhhhhhh :mmm:

In the evening it is NEVER too hot for vino, but during the day... I really like ginger ale with a splash of cranberry juice. :bigblue:
