I tend to go with drinks that are difficult to screw up:

Terminal: Beer or perhaps a double scotch & water

Air: Scotch & water, ginger ale, beer or in extreme circumstances gin & tonic.
Now if we are talking intl F on a non-us airline, champange to start and then
move on to various wines with the meal and then capped off with a fine port and a long snooze.

Usually have a Bloody Mary or Mexican beer with a snack in LAX between flights to Mexico..now that it's "Papers Please" while ordering a drink in the bar there, I think I'll pass. Wonder how the servers feel about having to ask senior citizens for i.d. I used to be asked all the time til I was up in my 30 's and had no problem with it, now that I'm north of forty, I find having to produce i.d. for a drink ridiculous.

Crown Royal and diet coke aloft.

Well... now that I've turned 'of age' I do have a couple traditions now...

I typically have Diet Coke since AS serves Jones in the air, and a Grapefruit & Gin...

Or if I stop by the CO PC's... White Russian

Outside of the lounges, water bottles, soft drinks, orange juice, coffees are fine with me.

Gin and tonic fits most situations, doesn't it?

I'm boring. I usually just fill up a bottle from the nearest water fountain. I don't have lounge access anywhere and can't otherwise justify spending money on drinks.

I'll have to say there is some nasty water out there [perhaps a new thread- which airport has the worst tap water? ]

I grew up on fresh Alaskan well water so I guess I was a bit spoiled... I abhor chlorinated water...
