About
Everydaydrinker’s started as a small little drinking podcast and has grown larger since it’s original plans. While we still maintain a fun and popular alcohol review podcast (see cast list below), much has changed. Now, we’re reviewing all styles of cocktails, spirits, recipes, beers, wine and anything alcohol! We’ve also got a video show at everydaydrinkers.tv called Common Man Cocktails.
In Full Disclosure
Many of the spirits reviewed on Everydaydrinkers.com have been sent to us via sample bottles. These samples are used to design reviews and help maintain the information on our wiki at mixdrinkipedia.com. It is important to judge each spirit on its merit and we do not consider the sample bottle a “bribe” for a good review nor do our PR or brand contacts. We do not take cash “donations” in order to influence a review, the spirit must talk for itself. Any payment given to everydaydrinker’s and it’s reviewers will clearly be drawn out in a full undisclosed as a sponsorship.
While many of our reviews will spend more time telling you what the spirit tastes like rather than scoring it on a rating system, we seek out high quality brands to review and thus our reviews tend to talk positive about most brands. However, we will tell you when something is foul, disgusting or not worth the money as that is the right thing to do.

Derrick Schommer (Host)
Favorite Beer: Löwenbräu
Least Favorite Beer: Saint Pauli Girl
Favorite Wine: Reds (Merlot, Cabernet, etc.)
Least Favorite Wine: Whites (almost all)
Favorite Mixed Drink Recipe: Mai Tai, Captain Morgan & Coke Zero
Least Favorite Drink Recipe: A badly made White Russian
Favorite Hard Alcohol: Spiced Dark Rum
Least Favorite Hard Alcohol: AmarettoI like my drinks on the rocks and blended during the hot summer days, a medium temperature microbrew beer with a tendency to go dark but have moods for a good lighter wheat beer during the spring and summer.
When it comes to mixed drinks, I prefer sweeter drinks to sour ones but occasionally a sour to mix things up a bit. If I had to pick my favorite place to drink I’d choose at home or at a party with friends.
How do I avoid hangovers? Finish the night with lots of water and a few Advil before bed.
Doug Petersen (Panel Member and Drink Master)

etc.

Least Favorite Drink Recipe: None
Favorite Hard Alcohol: Jägermeister
Least Favorite Hard Alcohol: None.I like my drinks on the neat, a medium temperature microbrew beer of any color as long as it has an enjoyable taste.
When it comes to mixed drinks, I prefer sweet drinks to sour drinks and you can find me drinking at the pub, at parties with friends and at home.
How do I avoid hangovers? I don’t believe in hangovers!
Kate (Panel Member and Hawt Drunk Chick)
Favorite Beer: Killian’s Red or Rolling Rock (not a connoisseur)
Least Favorite Beer: Bud Light
Favorite Wine: Pinot Noir
Least Favorite Wine: White Zinfandel
Favorite Mixed Drink Recipe: Vodka Tonic
Least Favorite Drink Recipe: Hurricane, they just wreck me.
Favorite Hard Alcohol: Bourbon baby, rock it with the big dawgs.
Least Favorite Hard Alcohol: It’s a tie: Southern Comfort and OuzoI like my drinks neat or blended, the fewer ingredients the better. I don’t drink beer as often as I used to but it’s gotta be icey cold when I do. I really enjoy a good mircrobrew if I’m out at a pub, but I also rock the mass marketed variety. I don’t drink beer with the word “light” in the name, but I’ll drink a pale ale at a brewery that does it up right.
I’m expanding my horizons in the mixed drink arena. Recently I’ve dabbled mostly with sweet drinks but I love me a good old fashioned Appletini. Caveat – I am a chick. If pushed, I’m gonna go with sour drinks over those of the sticky sweet variety. My favorite place to drink .. well, this would be heavily mood dependent but I’d say a pub over a club, a party over a rave, and drinking at home is always a nice option.
How do I avoid hangovers? Good Karma.
Dave (Panel Member and Taller Than Most Humans) [website: hostiletraveler.com]
Favorite Beer: Varies by season – Hoegaarden (Belgian white) in the summer, Guinness in the winter
Least Favorite Beer: Watery domestic stuff like Coors, Busch, Miller, etc.
Favorite Wine: Can’t stand wine, sadly enough.
Least Favorite Wine: I guess that’d be all of them?
Favorite Mixed Drink Recipe: Margarita
Least Favorite Drink Recipe: Least Favorite?
Favorite Hard Alcohol: Tequila (Don Julio reposado)
Least Favorite Hard Alcohol: Anything with a licorice flavor (Anice, Sambuca, Ouzo, etc)I like my drinks on the rocks, a nice cold beer (within reason) and I’m not partial to any manufacturer, brand or marketing technique, I’m about quality. There are some mass produced beers that are great and some microbrews that suck. Smaller doesn’t always equal better. My favorite winter beers are dark and my favorite summer beers are light.
When it comes to drinking mixed drinks I like sweet over sour and when it comes to drinking anything I always like pub atmospheres, especially those in the UK.
How do I avoid hangovers? Don’t drink like a college frat boy, and plenty of water before bed.
