1. Mal: Whiskey or Fireball Whiskey

2. Inara: Something fruity like a Daiquiri or a Cosmopolitan

3. Jayne: Saki straight up

4. Kaylee Frye: Sex On The Beach or a Strawberry Daiquiri

5. Shepard Book: Wine

6. Wash: Margarita or a Pina Colada

7. Zoe Washburne: something tough and rough like Jägermeister or, Everclear (basically the real life equivalent to the Blue Sun alcohol seen in the show) or Vodka

8. Simon Tam: Macallan Single Malt Scotch on the rocks or Champagne

9. River Tam: Absinthe

Fun, all good - a few other picks:

1. Mal: Never drinks on board, but when they get where they're going it's bourbon, beer, whiskey - strong stuff, neat. War teaches one to get to where you are going without a lot of fuss.

2. Inara: I don't see her drinking, maybe rarely. Companions need to stay in control, though I bet she would be fun tipsy.

3. Jayne: Some kind of tasteless corporate Blue Sun beer and lots of it. He has hidden stashes all over the ship.

4. Kaylee Frye: Sex On The Beach or a Strawberry Daiquiri - something with umbrellas, Yes!

5. Shepard Book: Wine/port/brandy. Book likes to ruminate and slow sippin' aperitifs and digestifs are perfect for that.

6. Wash: Michelada, bloody marys, New England Ice Teas of the future, almost any kind of colorful concocted alcohol mess - he just can't resist - but one stiff drink and he's out or embarrassingly horny. I see him more as the ship's brewer than it's drinker.

7. Zoe Washburne: bourbon, neat, 'nuff said.

8. Simon Tam: Simon got drunk once and climbed a statue, naked, and is a might aferd of drinking again, even though he does. I see him experimenting with all kinds of drink cautiously, and looking down on them all.

9. River Tam: I would be scared if River was drinking anything, especially Absinthe!

What's fun about your list is it made me think about each of these characters in different, real, every day ways.
And speaking of Inara... one of the unexpected things that hit me while thinking about what she would drink, is that one of the slightly negative sides to her personality is her need to be in control and how much of her life is artificial. Don't get me wrong, I love Inara's character and I hadn't even considered that side to her, but it's definitely there. Maybe she was just sipping a Shirley Temple (no alcohol), pretending to be part of the group? That one line from Jaynestown, "your clocks are probably rigged to go faster to cheat us out of our money..." (to that effect) always stuck with me as, "probably not true, but that's not an unfair thing to wonder." She spends a lot of her time pretending.
Thanks again!

One of the things that I love about Firefly is the symbolism Joss would use to speak to how the crew felt about each other - for instance: In the pilot, Jayne kneeling by the observation window to the infirmary while Simon operated on Kaylee.

One of my favorites in Serenity is during Mal's Aim to Misbehave speech, Jayne takes a sip from a bottle and passes it over to Simon. I imagined it's
one of Jayne's moonshine concoctions (or probably liberated scotch) and he shares it with someone that he begins to respect (how he looks after his sister). Jayne is not much for words, but he shares things with those he respects - he weight trains with Book, he probably talks guns with Zoe - and now he shares his booze with Simon. It shows that he's accepted him as part of the crew. It's a simple gesture, but Jayne is uncomplicated and
straightforward. That's how he bonds.

Joss presents these moments in a subtle manner, small gestures that speaks volumes. That's my drinking/alcohol connection with the crew.
