Whiskey + coke OR some sort of beer / ale. Never mix them in one hold though or it upsets my 'trim' and i crash into doorframes under a non existant cross wind and go 'tech' for 24 hours

On shift, a healthy mix of Irn Bru, Nurofen and Proplus, and whatever food and drink can be relocated from the aircraft... we don't get paid enough to eat otherwise! Off shift... anything that is available!

In the words of a guy I once worked with in Germany:

Oh yes I remember 6 o'clock in the morning, leaving work after an exciting night shift at Cologne/Bonn and you could head straight for the ale house and have your breakfast there and as many Warstieners, or more probably Koelsch as you wanted, great times!

during hard winter night shifts you have to stay awake, so my favorite one is vodka and red bull

Tiple

Yes you Could head for a lovely little Gaff on the Cologne ring road, called Tag unt Nacht (day and night), have your breckie and down that beatiful German ale by the bucket load, chances were you would find all your friends in there still up from the night before, finishing with what was known as a secht breakfast (sparkeling white wine), lovely way to finish the night, go home kick the girlfriend and get into bed with the cat, or was is the other way around, that part was always a little hazy!
