This is an excellent choice as the major first official decision you make.
In normal, daily life I am a teetotaler, but in Lumptonia I assume things are different and my meds and alcohol will mix ok. I vote for red (I am Italian, after all) or blush (the other half of me is not Italian). Refrigeration need not be required of either, I think.
If I can't mix meds and alcohol even in Lumptonia, I vote for Dr. Pepper.

Coffee, of course, is more like oxygen or water - a necessity of life more than a drink. Also, you have to brew it. My second nomination is for red wine. Why, do you ask? Because beer and white wine should be cold - unless you're German - and that means getting up to go to the fridge. What a hassle, I say. Mixed drinks are worse...messing with ice and limes and all that. And don't even talk about blender drinks!
