Full shipping container size, holding tens of thousands of bottles/cans of the same kind of drink. What would you want it to be?
(let's assume you have plentiful fresh water on the island).
I'd probably go for champagne.
Brewdog Punk IPA
Cheap cider in 2l bottles.
Not to drink but to make a raft from the empty bottles.
I'd probably go for champagne
A desert island that comes equipped with a fridge and/or ice?
Rum
Not to drink but to make a raft from the empty bottles.
Indeed, so screw-top Lambrini would do me!
Either go with On and Ons' idea or prey the shipping container landed in a safe spot, empty enough bottles to create a window / glass wall and spend the rest of your marooned days in slightly more comfort than before
You could make a raft out of champagne corks, eventually 🙂
Oooooh. tricky one.
Plenty of water you say, but no mention of food on the island. Also, no fridge, so whatever it is, it would have to be drinkable warm.
If that's the case, then I'd go for either red wine, or water cooler water so I can make an even betterer raft than the one on the neighbouring island that was made with cheap cider.
Weston's organic still cider. In those boxes with the tap.
Help, my legs appear to have stopped functioning
A desert island that comes equipped with a fridge and/or ice?
*cough* cheeky edit
An island that comes with a free-flowing mountain stream 😉
Makers Mark or Woodfords Reserve. I'm going for the crazy cast away vibe. Torn clothes, scraggly beard, talking to a coconut and drinking something strong
Vimto.
Not worth carrying on without Vimto.
Brewdog Punk IPA
Yak. Is it just me or does anyone else find it makes their mouth go 'foamy'? I find that my saliva gets really bubbly/foamy and I have to spit it out. Weird stuff.
Yes, I belive quite a lot of people go a bit frothy/foamy about Brewdog.
Ok then, Hop Fiction or Dead Pony? 🙂

Whatever's cheap and strong in case my escape attempts don't go to plan and I need to resort to a far more permanent escape tactic
Island with water? I've seen this on the telebox. These sort of islands are heavily populated with turkey, and obviously fish.
So, then I'm going Bourgogne then. The lot - reds and whites.
Failing that, Japanese whisky - the lot. I think this is an unexplored area for me and i'll have plenty of time.

I feel like I should apologise, but I won't.

Easy there hot-shot; one kind only, no varieties on a theme.
Surely...

Bless you
If that's the case, then I'd go for either red wine
Red wine? Oh come on - desert island, you're going to mainly be eating fish...
I'd probably go for the 2l cider option, though I don't know what kind of raft I'd be capable of constructing after emptying the bottles
One of the Cloudwater IPA's (for the Punk IPA lover, this is a huge taste step up!)
Damn, rumbled.
Right then i'll go for a decent all-rounder - Nine Popes by Charlie Melton.
Johnx2, of course, how silly of me! In that case, I would have to go for something dry and white, but hope that, against all odds, the gentle lapping of the surf could chill it enough to be palatable.
After all, one should not lower oneself to the wrong wine, one would get thrown from a train.

Don't worry, you have
a free-flowing mountain stream
Is the container refridgerated?
Peroni
No wait - I'm going for a mild instead - more calories n'fibre.
Pressed Rat and Warthog.
Japanese rice wine ... saké, saké ... 😛
I'd want several barrels of Hopback Summer Lightning, a metric f-tonne of selected single malts, not too peaty and a plentiful supply of Scottish springwater.

No, but you do get
a free-flowing mountain stream

Well, that's nice, but you can only have one thing (only one malt if that's your thing). It could be a Scottish island though for your spring water needs.
Pernod - I'm sure that someone would soon spot the increasingly large pile of vomit from a passing plane
How big is the island?
Ten miles square
The size of Anglesey
I'd want several hundred barrels of Hopback Summer Lightning, a metric f-tonne of selected [s]single malts[/s] top end rums, and a plentiful supply of Hampshire springwater.
Slight edit.
Rum was invented for just this sort of situation.
Would I have access to sugar? Mmmm Grog.
An island that comes with a free-flowing mountain stream
I'm with the middle class champagne swiggers then.
Fuller's London Porter.
Yeah got to be rum, I'm assuming I'm in this predicament because I'm a pirate and every book I've read on pirates tells me I like rum most.
Port, and then spend every day dreaming of a container of stilton washing ashore.

Probably Guinness.

who put you in charge of the island?

As above Estrella, what I would get is:

[img] 
[/img]

Cans will keep well and if I open them out I build a reflector to get the attention of passing ships.
Guinness. Beer AND food.
Not so heavy/sweet that I couldn't drink it all evening (which rules out anything by Fullers, or any dark beers).
Not so strong that I'd be incapable of making a raft after a few weeks.
Just nice, crisp and refreshing.

It would have to be keg though to make the raft afterwards.
If it's my imaginary desert island, whatever washes up will be what I damn well please.
If you can make the stream good quality tonic water and plant a lemon tree or two, I'll have gin please. Bombay Sapphire is fine.
We have a decent sized island to ourselves with fresh water and a mountain to play on, a 40ft shipping container to build a nice house out of and enough booze to see us through, why are so many in a hurry to get rescued?

For quaffing in moderation, and helping to light a vast signal fire.
Fresh mountain spring water you say? Then this..

Any drink you like .... as long as it's served from a furry cup
I'd prefer it if the container had been en route from Columbia.
Each to their own and all that.

And
[img] 
[/img]
A selection of white and red wines in wine boxes. I await the complaint but that is all [b]the same kind of drink[/b]
Wine boxes for the same reason as given for the cheap cider.

Rocky Flintstone is that you?
JD Single Barrel Select and Coke? You might as well use Tesco Value cooking bourbon if you're pouring it in Coke, you maniac.

Can I be stranded on Funky's island? I'd have gone for Maker's also.
Buckfast 😆
Why would you bother with all this raft building nonsense, forget corks and floaty bottles...be smart...

Or Jamaica...
Provided you could fashion a bong out of some stuff washed up on the beach and make a lighter...
@Marcus - Guinness is the correct answer. Apparently you could actually survive on that and nothing else though post-rescue carbs exposure would be pretty scary....as remembered from a drunken party conversation with a nutritionist
You want plastic bottle booze, but forget the raft idea.
Build your own floating island and drift over to the other islands where the bones of desiccated alcoholics are bleaching in the sun.
Scoop up their leftover rum, then drift over to the island of lonely lovelies. (They may be Madagascar apes, but they'll look like lovelies after 3 bottles of rum).
Westerham gluten free stout. I maybe dead in a week.
Beaten to it with the meths suggestion. I might well be on a desert island but essentially I'll be living like a tramp so I may as well go the full Harold Ramp and have the meths. Then I can go around the place roaring at coconuts and picking fights with palm trees.
Another vote for Guinness.
Leffe
