Margaritas & Pina Coladas Are Way Better Than Wine Or Beer:
Mexican drinks like Margaritas and Pina Coladas actually taste good. Those other drinks of an intoxicating nature? Are just nasty-tasting: Why drink things that you do not even like? Liquor is highly overrated.

Variety is the spice of life. I

n L.A. Margaritas go down so well as the temperature is 72 and sunny at 8 am. By around 5pm ist's good to take a dip followed by a Margarita or two as long as there is no work the following day.

Cooler climes require different sorts of refreshment so it always depends on where when and the occasion.

Ok I'm not knocking Margarita's or Pina Coladas - I'm simply defending wine. 1) Wine has a huge variety included delightfully sweet versions if that's your preference. Were you to taste Royal Tokaji from Hungary or a honey-like Sauternes from France you'd probably like wine too. 2) Wine has on average 100 calories per glass while sweet cocktails like you list often top the charts for calories. 3) Wine has excellent medical documentation proving a health benefit. It actually extends your life by improving vascular health, raising good cholesterol and lowering bad cholesterol. Hard-liquor drinks can't claim all that. 4) Wine is a pretty universally accepted drink for any gender, group, even most age ranges (speaking globally). But frankly if I order the drinks you mentioned when out with my guy co-workers I guarantee someone is going to tease me somehow for it.

Well, it's fine that you like what you drink. To each their own. Just don't drink to excess (and no, I don't either, 1 glass of wine does me fine).

 I actually quit drinking altogether last year, Grenache.....
but, if I were to drink, the fruity-flavors are more like pie flavors;
key-lime pie (Margarita)
coconut-cream-pie(Pina Colada)

Clearly from a female point of view. Beer and liquor is far better. You just have to know what to mix it with.
