title_body: Dark winter days equal dark winter drinks!
upvoted_answer: I'll just go ahead and answer this question assuming it's better formed, something like:
  
  
  Which drinks are most popular in the winter?
  
  
  The difference to me in which drinks to choose in the summer versus the winter comes from the temperature in which you're drinking. In the summer people typically crave something that is light, cool, and refreshing in the hot weather, where in the winter they want something that sticks to their bones and warms the cockles. Some examples:
  
  Summer Drinks
  
  
  Pilsner
  Lager
  Weiss
  IPAs
  Fruity cocktails (vodka, rum)
  Caesars
  Light bodied, medium to sweet wines
  
  
  Winter Drinks
  
  
  Stouts
  Porters
  Full bodied, dry red wines
  Mulled Wine
  Whisky
  Brandy
  Autumn or Winter (spiced) ales
  
  
  Caveat
  
  That said, really just drink and enjoy whatever you want, whenever you want. But in my experience it's usually the summer when I don't want the heavier drinks rather than vice versa. I'm much more likely to drink a light beer in the winter than something dark in the summer, although I'll drink whisky all year round.
