Title says all. If you want also include where and when you drink it.
For me:
Im not very well-read in what drinks are good but I really enjoy whiskey with a strong coffee.
I think its called a "depresso" but I make it with cheap scotch instead of vodka. I usually drink this when I am alone since making 2-3 coffees is kinda stupid when you are with mates.
Gin and juice
I'm not sure what's my favourite but I like cointreau over ice and strong gin and tonic a lot. A good beer too.
Whisky.
Baileys Chocolat Luxe if I'm feeling fancy, Strongbow Apple Cider if I just want to casually drink.

I’m partial to apple and pear ciders. But if I’m out with the boys, or just feeling filthy, I’ll have a VB or a Guinness. I don’t have an absolute favourite - you don’t drink alcohol for the taste.
"you dont drink alcohol for the taste" - id like to midly disagree. Eristoff ICE tastes actually pretty good (lemon flavour). I can also bear a captn morgan honey blend without anything added but its a stretch. Some drinks you can definately drink for the taste but most you cant (unfortunately).
Cider, gin and tonic, vodka mixed with stuff (whether it be coke, fanta, orange juice or something like that), some nice beers (a brewery near my place does some lovely stuff)
The tallest glass of cold milk that the bartender can get.
In my case, my main motivation is for relaxation. Obviously I don’t want something awfully unpleasant - I can handle it, but I won’t be unwinding on a Friday arvo to a Guinness Extra Stout again any time soon.
I can’t really do cocktails because most do actually taste good, but I wouldn’t be able to control myself with them.
Why wouldn't the taste be part of the experience?
I'm not going to force myself to drink something that I don't like the taste of.
Moscow mule because it tastes good and sounds cool. Plus it comes in a pretty cup.

Fine-ass whiskey. The whole Jura brand is good but Superstition is easily the best one.
I believe that if you do drink alcohol for the taste and become accustomed to that, then you might have a problem - especially with alcoholism. As opposed to people who only drink alcohol when they specifically want to drink alcohol. So I myself pretty much only drink alcohol on Fridays. If I drank for the taste, I’m worried I might indulge myself on other days of the week.
Understandable but drinking stuff that tastes awful wont fix it. I used to do that with pure, cheap vodka and whiskey and now have no problem drinking it like that. If you get used to something awful it will stop bothering you at some point. maybe youll even start liking it. Seems best way to avoid that is either to have self control or to constantly switch the drinks so you never get used to one.
Whisky neat, just whenever
People forcing themselves to drink alcohol despite not liking it to some extent also sounds like alcoholism.
I think it just comes down to a case by case basis. Don't do something that would be bad for you.
Beer. Just beer
virtually the only alcoholic drinks I actually enjoy are white russians and proper ginger beer.
Companion from Citizen Cider. I have to drive three hours to get it though.
Caipirinha or Caipvodkas are absolutely baller. It's a mix of lemon juice with either, respectively, cachaça or vodka, and it's a good damned treat. Tho I actually like the pure stuff.
Dropped drinking tho, saw a lot of shit that made me realize that it's just not worth it, plus it's expensive as shit, fuck that noise. (Also it's easier to keep track of friends and to make sure they're safe and having fun when you're not smashed.)
JD on the rocks, or fruity ciders when it's nice and sunny out
Any rum, though Woods Dark Navy Rum 57% vol is perfect for getting my fat ass off its tits at a steady pace.
I love some Maker's Mark on ice but it's a bit expensive to have all the time. The stuff's worth every penny though.
Whiskey Gingers are cheap and easy without tasting like ass so it's my go-to.

It literally has an entire popsicle in it. It's more of a novelty if anything though, my usual drink of choice is a screwdriver or a vodka sprite.

16-bit bar?
Suntory Toki japanese whiskey has to be easily my favorite. Best and cheapest Japanese whiskey you can find.
If you like whiskey you've gotta try it

I like vodka cause it's straightforward, cheap, and gets the job done. It's also easy to make simple but decent drinks with it to mask the alcohol flavor, again with cheap ingredients (e.g. literally just orange juice).
I like whiskey and coke from time to time, I know it's silly but there's something peculiar about its taste which I like.
Beer is always nice, especially with the recent brewery revolution in Poland, there's so much variety of good, affordable beers. I recently was in Germany for a few months and to my surprise it was a step down in beer variety.
I remember Captain Morgans white rum going really well with coke, but last time I drunk that was in 2016, should try it again sometime.
Recently I tried gin and tonic, it's incredibly smooth and goes together super well. Can't go wrong with that.
