Though I tend to drink beer on most occasion it seems at major holidays I switch to wine. For thanksgiving we almost always have a beaujolais nouveau. Looking forward to tomorrow, sitting around after a nice run in the morning, watching football, making food in the kitchen and just relaxing.

For me it's always beer. Maybe some scotch every now and then, but that's rare. I just bought a case of Long Trail Harvest Brown Ale for this weekend.

Not at it at all.

What I drink for Thanksgiving is highly dependent on who's coming or where I'm going. With certain relatives, the answer is: Anything I can get my hands on... I don't drink wine much anymore -- since I became a runner, it doesn't agree with my system much. But, I'll get some bubbly out for Thanksgiving, have a couple glasses, then have a beer to cleanse my system. Wink

Something dark and tasty! Enjoy everyone!!! P.S. If I'm cooking, then we start with some spirits in the coffee, you know, to take the edge off of all the stress of cooking. Smile

+1 on the beaujolais nouveau - at least when I've been the hostess - both red and white wine drinkers like it, it *seems* festive, and it's cheap! This year at Auntie's house I know there will be Shiner Bock from Uncle's hometown Smile

Anything I can get my hands on. Start the day out with Bailey's and coffee, and keep it rolling from there.

On your deathbed, you won't wish that you'd spent more time at the office. But you will wish that you'd spent more time running. Because if you had, you wouldn't be on your deathbed.

I'm a beer guy, and this is a great time of year because it is the transition to the dark, roasted flavors of the winter ales and the porters. Yum... I picked up a case of Weyerbacher Winter Ale (Easton, PA) - one of my favorites of all time - for the long weekend. The only deviation to my routine is that if the mood strikes, I may have some Bailey's after dinner. Alcohol, football, food, family... nice.
