Things change with time.....
The last time I did this was May 20, 2009 -

Winter/Relaxing Soft Drink: Diet Caffeine Free Great Value Cola (was Diet Mugs Root Beer but it's unavailable here now)
Refreshing Summer Soft Drink: Diet Tonic Water (was Diet Canada Dry Ginger Ale, which is still awesome)

Powdered: Tang (same but it's been awhile)
Decadent Drink: Vanilla Malt (same but unavailable here)

Hot: Ovaltine, India Nespresso, Gourmet Gold Martello (India and Gourmet Gold replace Sleepytime Tea - Tea is too much work)

All Time Beer: Guinness Draught or any German dark wheat beer (Germans replaced Blackwych stout which became unreliable in taste and in availability)
Summer Beer: Erdinger Wheat Beer (replaced Bohemian and Sleeman Clear)
Winter Beer: Old Vienna (replaced Laker Ale)
Cider: Strongbow Ginger (replaced Magners which is still better than Strongbow original but I don't much like alcoholic cider anymore)

Rum: Anything not Canadian (was Wray & Nephew but I don't really drink rum anymore)
Gin: Ungava or other small batch yellow gins (was Plymouth)
Whiskey: Macallan or Tullamore Dew (special occasions only and I never drink Canadian whiskey or rum - new category)
Mixed: Gin & Tonic (was Zombie)

Shooter: Nope. (was Polar Bear)
Schnapps: I can't remember the last time I had some. (was Apple)
Liqueur: (pretty much steer clear of. (was Maple)

Sparkling Wine: Dom Perignon (same)
Wine: Anything dark red and bitter but this is a very rare thing (was Pelee Island Shiraz)

You added an important category! Aperitif! Indeed white Kina Lillet is easily the best I've had as well. It goes well with most meals. For those who don't know, an Aperitif is a drink that stimulates your appetite and readies your palate.
