I don't drink, but when I do, I drink dark beers, gin or rum.
I don't like the feeling of being inebriated, so I tend to keep it in one or two servings per time.
Always had (in various lodgings) that annoying drunken neighbor who suddenly drops in fully loaded at the most awkward times. Don't want to be that guy.
I don't think I've ever had a dark beer, or if I have I don't recall. Rum is something I've never tried but I like a gin and tonic for sure. I'm also with you on the getting drunk thing, it's not something I do and on the three occasions I did, over 30 years ago I didn't enjoy it.
