My drink and the way I have it depends entirely on my mood. I generally prefer vodka, and I like mixing it with cola and fresh lime. I have found that the other drinks hit me too hard and give me a bad hangover.

I’m also a fan of single malts and red wine, especially Glenlivet or Glenfiddich in the former, while Carlo Rossi in the latter. I like these specific brands because they make me feel comfortable, and as their alcohol percentage isn’t too high, they don’t get me drunk either.

The best parties, as far as I’m concerned, happen at my place. My friends drop in over weekends, my wife decks up the house with aromatic candles and soothing music, while we share jokes, shake a leg and de-stress. These are the only people I like drinking with. Every once in a while, we also go over to the Raheja Classique Club for its ambience.
