I'm not much of a whisky or cognac drinker and even with liquers I hardly drink anything else than Irish cream if necessary. Vodka, gin, Eastern European beer or Irish/English cider are more of my thing. I like red wine but have no clue about the best ones.
Thanks to the heavy pills I've been stuffing down my throat over the past year, I haven't even been able to drink much of anything besides a few beers or ciders every now and then. Sucks. I hope it'll be over soon and I can get totally wasted, I really need to a total reset for my head.

derlig you mean? The Swedish brand? I didn't know you're a teenage girl...
All of their ciders even the ones available outside Scandinavia are way too sweet and girly, like juice or sodapop with added alcohol and juice concentrates. Their stronger and dry(er) ones are still much much sweeter than how I like my cider. I usually avoid Rekorderligs like the plague, unless offered for free or something.
If you want some sweetness but in a disguise of a dry cider/perry, try Westons Perry or Magners Pear - but only when chilled cold!
Magners is the same thing that's known as Bulmers in Ireland but different than Bulmers in England. I've tasted both in their original cider versions, and they taste distinctively different.
My fav cider is probably Scrumpy Jack or Weston's Old Rosie Cloudy Scrumpy or Henry Westons Vintage Special Reserve. Magners or Stowford Press Extra Dry if neither one of the first three isn't available.
