Favorite tailgating drink

We usually start with bloody marys or beer and clamato. Plenty of domestic beer with a few 6's of import/microbrew. We also employ "panty droppers", which for those who don't know are sprite bottles (2L) dumped out to the lable, filled with vodka with one packet of kool-aid. Those things go down tooo easy.
I guess this is as good as any time to let you guys in on my secret. I've recently stumbled on an excellent combination of water, yeast, barley and hops that combine into a delicious drink. I call it cmoneyr's miracle elixir, try it at your next tailgate.
depends on what we are cooking up.....breakfast is blood mary's and the average grilling is coors light, bud light, ect. if we cook something up nice we bring out the fat tire, blue moon, ect. night games usually get the jack and cokes.
Good cold micro brews during the warm months or if its cold out, Hot cider and cinnamon schnapps. Thanks for the P-droppers recipe...might need to make that one up this next year.....hhmmm
Any other recipes worthy of noting for tailgaiting? Anyone have a killer B-Mary's recipe?

We used to drink wop (aka strip and go naked, or concoction) which is a nice mix of beer, vodka (or everclear if you're feeling saucy) and lemon concentrate. Delicious, but extremely potent. Now, if I'm lucky I'll do a bloody mary, but generally speaking massive quantities of beer. If you'll notice my sig pic, that is a delicious Natural Ice that had been stuck between my crotch for about a half hour, so naturally (no pun intended) I have upgraded. This year I plan to make Olde Main an essential part of my tailgate ritual. Something about it just sounds so right!
No problem. They end up being a super cheap drink and will really knock you out if you don't watch it since you can't taste the alcohol. It's a good pass-around drink, especially if you get one of those huge 60 oz mugs with ice. And the girls love it. You don't even have to get decent vodka since you can't taste it anyway. Of course, we always spring for the extra buck to avoid buying hawkeye (just on principle).
Bloody Mary recipe: Ice, Vodka to taste, pepper until you have a thin layer on the ice, a dash of Worchestershire sauce, Texas Redeye BM mix (Spicy), hot sauce to taste (you want Tobasco or the like so it is thin enough to mix into the drink. Top off with your preference of Olives, Dill Pickle, or Celery.
We use to do Blood Marys in the morning. Followed by beer of a lot of varieties. We use to sneak in botas of spiced rum into the games for rum and cokes during game. The only way we knew how to avoid hangovers by the end of the 3rd Quarter. Besides drinking that is.
Sparks energy drink to start and beer takes me the rest of the way...once it is cold out tough I like the hard stuff...anything really...
Usually try to class it up with some Boone's Farm wine....for the ladies. The twist off top comes in handy when I forget my cork screw. The vino is lightly carbonated and that tickles the nose.
After finishing off a bottle or two of that I usually turn to some type of hard liquor in a plastic bottle. Olde Crow whiskey and Admiral Nelson Rum being two of my favorites.
There's always a healthy amount of Coors Light. The Silver Bullet never slows me down....and never gives me a hangover either.
For my home consumption it's all about Pabst Blue Ribbon and Lone Star Beer. Times are tough and those two beers have a lot of taste and value.
