Drink of choice for serious listening?


This is a frivolous topic but probably won't end up any worse than a lot of more technical threads around here. But right now I'm settling down to listen to music for a few hours. I've got a glass of Four Roses Single Barrel Bourbon on two cubes of ice which is a pretty good substitute for when you can't get your hands on a bottle of Blanton's.

I also like Aberlour A'bunadh single malt Scotch. No ice. Usually neat but maybe a few drops of water.

So when you sit down for serious listening do you like to have drink? If so, what? Doesn't have to be alcohol of course.

I never could stomach hard liquor. A shot of $500 dollar whiskey would gag me about as much as a $10 bottle. If there is such a cheap whiskey. Diet 7up for me with crushed ice from the fridge. But the ice is made with filtered water so there!
Bishops Finger (ale), S:t Peter's Cream Stout, Carnegie Porter or some other dark ale or porter/stout suits me well on the weekends. Otherwise tea.
