I tried to cover most of the more popular bases, so I'm sorry if I missed your drink of choice: tell us what it is so we can enjoy it too! Mixed drinks are not really accounted for as there are just too many to cover, so just stick with the base ingredients for the poll, but tell us about it in the comments!
For me:
Beer - I'll drink any beer. I'm not picky. Anything from watery PBR or Bud Light up to dark specialty beers like Dragon's Milk. There are maybe 5 beers that I hate and that's it. I of course generally enjoy the more expensive ones more, but I can't always afford to be that classy :P
Cider - My chuggable alcohol of choice. Goes down easy, tastes great, and as a bonus the ladies usually like it too.
Brandy - Good, expensive brandy is my splurge alcohol of choice.
Whisky - I enjoy a good bourbon, but I also don't mind the cheaper whiskeys, so it's my budget alcohol of choice.
Rum - Rum and Coke (and a lime wedge!) is one of my favorite mixed drinks, but I don't really drink Rum any other time.
I
HATE
chocolate mixed drinks, and I'm not overly fond of fruity mixed drinks.

I like Bailey's, assorted schnapps, sweet drinks made with sweet liqueurs, etc.

No vodka? Or have you categorised that in one of the others?
Edit: Not that I like vodka - not a fan. Just curious. I'm more for the sweet stuff - pretty much identical to Elhonna's list.(##RESPBREAK##)8##DELIM##Squishalot##DELIM##

Whoops, missed that one. I had intended to put vodka up, but it must have slipped through. And I see polls are still uneditable by us peons. Want to do the honors? :P

Sounds like a fun night and a horrible morning :D

The one blackout I've had was Tequila's fault. Well, no, it was my fault. But Tequila helped. I tend to stay away from it nowadays :P Vodka I just can't stand.

My father says he is allergic to Tequila. It makes him break out in handcuffs.

Didn't take you long to start with the polls again. Beer, or Whiskey.

Would people classify something like Rekordelig as a cider or as a mixed drink, out of curiosity?

Sounds German.

Well cider isn't generally mixed, it's fermented, so there is a pretty solid distinction. I've never had Rekordelig, but they call it a cider on their website, so that's what I assume it is.

Swedish, actually.

Some of their stuff is flavoured, and gets treated as a ready-to-drink 'alcopop' over here, that's all.

Interesting. Our big equivalent over here would probably be Mike's Hard Lemonade. It's cheap malt liquor (which is technically a beer) with flavoring (lemonade in the case of their main product), and I would consider that a mixed drink. The term 'alcopop' is kind of amusing. I could not see that really taking off here, mostly because our market is 21+. I assume that sort of thing is targeted mostly at 18 year olds?

Beer, preferably Witbier
Not much for hard liqueurs, but occasionally I like a good bloody mary or very rarely, a dirty vodka martini.
In my younger days, I drank a good bit of ta-killya, straight. I drank a lot when I was a young man but I don't get drunk anymore. A beer a day kinda guy now.

It originally applied to things like Vodka Cruisers and Midori Splicers - liqueurs and spirits that would be mixed with other drinks, but pre-mixed and sold ready-to-drink. Also includes things like pre-mixed bourbon and cokes and the like. But yes, it's generally marketed towards youth (18-25) and females especially (not so much the bourbon).

Mostly sweet mixed drinks... don't much care what is in it.
And as far as wine, which I like, it must be cold and also sweet.
