CarolinaCola: We will, im just not the wine lady. My sister is currently prego but knows a lot about wine, so Im sure we will have 5 bottles of red and 5 bottles of white or something like that for those who dislike liquor/beer.
Membereither spiced rum and coke (most likely) or baileys on the rocks (usually I do this when I’m in the mood for “dessert”)

MemberChampagne, I love bubbles. I suspect you do too. You should serve pink champagne at your wedding.
MemberIf I like the signature drink I get that, if it’s not something I would normally like I get my usual Kettle Soda.

MemberVodka is the only alcohol (besides beer) that doesn’t make me sick, so I’d go for that. Plus I think its the most versatile.
MemberI voted Gin and Tonic because I’m loving it at the moment, but honestly, it depends on what I’m in the mood for at the time – I drink them all.
MemberFor a liquor based drink, I’d have a cranberry vodka, and Darling Husband would have a G&T. I usually go for a lovely Chardonnay, though.
MemberWorking in a bar, popular choices for occassions seem to be spiced rum and coke or other mixers, Gin and Tonic, vodka and shots like Jagermeister (and red bull) and Tequila.
Beer and wine are good staples and whisky for the older chaps.
MemberI don’t like much alcohol (wine, vodka, whisky) but fruity cider is nice and malibu with lemonade has a sweet taste. So I would go for that. But after having two alcoholic drinks, I would probably go for orange or mango juice.
MemberWe had a full open bar at our wedding and we did a “buy back” deal with the liquor store where we kept what was open and returned the rest. I later received an invoice showing what people actually consumed and it was a surprise to me!
A couple of notes:
I hope this was (maybe) helpful!
MemberUsually, I’ll just get white wine or a beer, but if I get a mixed drink, I’ll probably go for a vodka tonic or a gin & tonic.
MemberI’d drink white or red wine, vodka cranberry, codka gimlets, or… who am I kidding. I would drink most fruity mixed drinks at a wedding as long as they did not involved Whiskey. 🙂
MemberI usually go for wine, but if wine isn’t available I will go with vodka
