I've been on antibiotics for 5 days, 2 more to go. No beer for me.

Maybe it's an old wives' tale, but I've been told to avoid alcohol while on antibiotics. I've been bed/couch-ridden the majority of the time, so it's not like I need the extra calories.
I do have a four-pack of Innis & Gunn Rum Finish waiting for me in the fridge.

Technically, Prosecco counts as carbonated but Champagne doesn't. Nor, for that matter, does Badoit.
And why on earth would booze with bubbles be described as "carbonated adult beverages"? I understand the need to use a euphemism for "adult movies" but can't for the life of me understand why a euphemism is needed for a drink.

I have been enjoying different local ciders on the east coast. The best are the simplest ones, for the other carbonation - search google " soda stream alcohol"

For cider I normally choose Strongbow, but lately in the US I've found Stella Artois cidre to be pretty good. And in France I like the cidre from Breton.

I should have said that the Stella Cidre can be found at Target. At least the one I go to in Northern Virginia.

Most of the mass produced ciders are pretty bad. I'm happy enough if I can find Wyder's or Ace (widely available here in stores, sometimes available in bars, etc). Crispin is showing up in more places in these parts and that will be my first choice (on tap / bottle).
Otherwise, I'll try something local on tap, or a recommendation, or the last bottle I purchased (I picked up a bottle of something French on a warm fall day), the bottle shop owner had that "you'll love this" look in his face, and I did.
The range of "artisan" on tap ciders varies from delicious to undrinkable. Fortunately, most places will pour a sample before making the serious commitment of a pint. And you know how we all hate commitment here

My wife is a big fan of prosecco. We have a couple of bottles cooling in our wine/beer fridge.
I just bought and tried Bell's Best Brown Ale. I liked it quite a bit.
Also in the fridge, have a bottle left over of Sierra Nevada Oktoberfest (really good), a couple Shock Top Belgian Whites (bought for a party, figured it would appeal to the average beer drinker), and Two Brothers Wobble IPA.
Planning on picking up some Revolution Fistmas Ale and some other Christmas/winter seasonal beers that strike my fancy. Now if I could just find some Lazy Magnolia Southern Pecan or Back 40 Naked Pig in Illinois...

I thought Lazy Magnolia was everywhere?

I'm sucking back on a White Rabbit dark ale. One of my locals had it on tap, but as per usual anything that isn't a pale ale gets flicked so now I keep a six pack of it in my fridge. I love a dark ale, although they're not really a session type beer.
