What do you drink on airplanes?
Just wondered if anyone had a quirk about what they drink (alcoholic or not on airplanes...)
I always, always, always get tomato juice to drink on a plane - regardless of length of flight, class of service etc. But the thing is - I never drink it on the ground. If I go 6 months without a flight, I go 6 months without tomato juice. But I don't think I've ever gotten on an airplane and not had tomato juice...
Anyhow, just wondered if anyone else had a quirk like that...

In the morning I always drink a bloody mary or coffee with Amarula (DL has it - not sure about any one else.) The rest of the time it's rum & diet - same as I always drink on the ground or at sea.

I like red wine. In fact, I prefer the red wine on many airlines to the white wine.
However, I have enough problems spilling red wine on my clothes when I'm sitting still. So I usually order white wine or a clear non-alcoholic drink when I'm on an airplane.

Champagne, Gin Tonic, red wine, white wine, Bloody Mary, Drambuie, beer and whisky. Oh, and sometimes I have some water as well. 
Actually if I'm going to keep to the original question I first started enjoying Bloody Marys on flights. I didn't like them when on the ground, but on a flight they tasted fine. Now I enjoy them wherever I am.

Usually Club Soda or Sparkling Water. I hate sweet drinks like Coke/Pepsi, and hate the sugar free crap even more. If early AM, black coffee. BUT, when I am coffee-ed out and it's too early for alcohol, I too drink tomato juice or bloody mary mix, and I NEVER drink these unless I'm flying. Why is that?
Otherwise, it's always Scotch and soda or on the rocks.
