I'd have to agree with Fred on gin, Tanq for gin & tonic, but Bombay or Sapphire for martini. However, give Hendrick's or Plymouth a try, both make a very nice martini. Hey, if Plymouth was good enough for Travis McGee, it's good enough for me! Spouse.com isn't a gin drinker, but she won't turn down a Sapphire 'tini. Another thing you want to get for a good martini is Noilly Prat vermouth. This is way better than the others.

Noilly Prat red is also very good if you happen to like a Manhattan. We keep Maker's Mark around, it's a good and tasty pain reliever, I go for it and just a bit of water however. A nice frosty mint julep might help now that think about it.

On tequila, I'd have to say Sauza Hacienda is the one to mix with. Works for friends in a traditional, cranberry or mango margarita. However, lore has it that mezcal was what was used for labor pains and relief for other medical maladies.

Beer works well too, especially now that we can get good microbrews and the like. GA just removed the 6% cap last year. A North Coast Old Rasputin Russian Imperial Stout is very satisfying and quite therapuetic at about 11%.

Cheers!

Although I have a real affinity for red wines, I still love an nice cold beer. Right now I'm loving wheat beers. I go through phases. HA!

for pain..(which i am in right now!!) i like to have a vicodin and chase it with a huge glass of chiraz or merlot. the bad thing is i can't do this at 7am or my sons bus driver might think me a little unfit.. i have to save this nice little remedy for after the child is in bed...

Jack and Ginger.

Of course I'll drink almost anything as long as it does not involve tequila or Southern Comfort.

hehe i was referring to the beer.

Actually, Tulips are native to Central Asia and Turkey, not the Netherlands.

I love red wine (for medicinal purposes, only, of course!) mainly Shiraz these days. But, as a brace newbie and reader of the web site, I am concerned about all the talk about red wine staining things. So, do any of you red wine drinkers have advice on this?

I spent my last pre-braces weekend at the Chicago Wine and Food Festival. Great timing on that.
