I let the weather and my mode set the alcohol.
Fall and winter, basically the cool/cold temps require a strong beverage to fend of the chills and viruses. A good whiskey; straight bourbon or single 12-18 year old single malt scotch works well. Especially a scotch after a successful or good hunt.
An ice cold beer on those hot summer days/nights works immensely well to unwind and relax after a busy day.
I'm not much on wine, but with a really good meal, a good wine with a meal helps the digestive system.
It all boils down to personal preference.
And regardless of our choice(s) of alcoholic beverage(s) we should all drink responsibly. And not to the point of being an obnoxious idiot/total ass.
