I want a glass of good Pinot Noir. It's my favorite wine variety. I'm not sure exactly when I'll have it, but it will be once we are home from the hospital. I'll probably have it the first day that baby seems to be in a routine for feeding, so I can time it for the alcohol to be out of my system, and once I have a back up bottle of milk in the fridge (just in case).
Can I steal this word-for-word? Pretty much yes, to all of it. I will be more open on varietal, but a pinot sounds perfect.
If it's really warm and summery (and daytime), I can see myself enjoying some champagne, too.
Hands down, a margarita on the rocks! DS' birthday party will be a week or so after this guy is born so I imagine I'll want a drink by the end of the day.
Yes to the margarita rocks, no salt and since it's going to be summer possibly watermelon margarita. I want it in the hospital but since that would be frowned upon and I am hoping to BF... I'm thinking within the first week or two. I am not opposed to supplementing with a little formula for my own pleasure and sanity.

Oh man. With today being Cinco de Mayo, the yearning for a marg is strong.
But I think my first drink will have to be a beer from a local brewery that is my absolute favorite ever. It's called Bloodthirst. It's a wheat beer that's brewed with bloodthirst oranges. OMFG is it good. Is the day we come home from the hospital too early?
Veuve Clicquot. I love sparkling wines (champagnes, proseccos, lambruscos, cavas etc.). I usually only drink Veuve on special occasions and opt for more affordable wines on a regular, but after 9 months of no alcohol I think I've earned a bottle of Veuve. I don't know when my first drink will be, because I haven't quite grasped the breastfeeding/drinking rules yet. So it might be a few weeks after the baby is born, but I will have it eventually.
A cheap, cold, light beer... a bottle of Miller 64 would be heavenly.
Girl, you haven't had anything to drink for 9 months, don't limit yourself to cheap beer!
Haha - I know, I know.. but hot weather and cold beer is my FAVORITE. Its also been my one real craving this whole pregnancy.... But if we're going big or going home, there's this local bar that has maple/fig infused manhattan that is TO DIE FOR. Mmmmh....

Girl, get yourself some nice summer beers!!!
Bell's Oberon is a nice gateway beer. Ice cold with a slice of orange. YUM.
These beers are pretty much ALWAYS in my house because H lurves them, so yes, totally. I drank an oatmeal stout or five for production purposes as well.
This post reminds me that I have Ommegang Rosetta (which is medium-light and cherry-y, because I love cherry) in the basement fridge just waiiiiiting for me for any ice cold beer mood.

I know what you mean. There is nothing quite like cracking open a plain old cold Miller lite on a hot beach day!
Champagne and rose! My sister and dad are in the wine biz so I'm fully stocked and ready! My sisters company also came out with a grapefruit wine this year and I haven't been able to try it yet so I'm looking forward to a taste. I forget how long I waited to drink with ds, but I have a feeling I'll have at least a sip the first week. A summer shandy will also taste wonderful On a hot June day.

Y'all are killing me.
I've been craving a margarita on the rocks with extra salt from my favorite local Mexican place that I haven't been able to eat in forever since I thought it was going to kill me last time.
I'd also like to sit outside and have an extremely cold yuengling while we grill.
I'd also like to try all of the 500 local breweries that are in my new town.
I'm not a big drinker, but I saw this recipe for a dulce de leche White Russian or something like that. All I know is that it had caramel in it. It sounded so good, and I do really love White Russians.

This is genius. Veuve would be perfect. If pregnancy doesn't earn me a champagne splurge I don't know what does. I am also very into the sparkling wines of all varieties (as long as they aren't sweet) and a good champagne cocktail. Mimosas forever!
I have also been craving some sort of tropical frozen rum drink. A rum runner or daiquiri of some kind sounds amazing.

Oh I love this thread SO MUCH!!!
It depends on a few things: warm and sunny: gin and tonic with extra lime cold and wet: cabernet pretty much any weather: imperial pale ale, such as Dogfish Head 120min IPA with brunch: mimosa with tacos: margarita on the rocks with GOOD tequila, hold the salt with pizza: ice cold pilsner
Andrea, you're my FRIEND with the milk stout! There's actually a bottle of nitro that's been sitting in our fridge for the past 8+ months. I didn't finish the 6-pack before my BFP and DH doesn't like dark beers.
For me it's a toss up between a nice glass of red wine with dinner, and a cold beer outside on a patio. Reading this thread is making me thirsty! I haven't missed booze as much as I thought I would through this process, but now that I can see the light at the end of the tunnel I'm so ready for a drink!
cattuccino, My birthday is late June and I'll be 30, so I'm definitely having a drink!
My drink of choice is anything with rum. My mom always makes this slushie beverage with rum in it for the summer and I can't wait to have one! It's really hot today here and one of those rum slushies would be heaven.
Is it bad that the hospital that I am delivering at allows alcohol. And that they provide a bottle of champagne with a special dinner on the last night of your stay?
I plan to partake. But, I want an IPA or a rattler or a shandy. Or maybe a nice pinot noir. Perseco with raspberries in it. Actually I will take anything at this point.
