I pretty much stick to whiskey (neat or with coke depending on where i am), and 'starter' drinks (maybe a bottle or two of beer/cider).
I stopped for a year (definitely not while I was 17 *whistles innocently) because I didnt like what I was drinking (beer mainly). 18 currently and now that i've found a taste I like, I dont see any reason not to drink. Bad for your health but I'd prefer a fun life than a safe one.
