drug of choice
Preferred intoxicant selection
A drug of choice is someone's preferred substance, whether for medical treatment or recreational use.
Doctors select a drug of choice based on effectiveness and safety for a condition.
In addiction contexts, it's the substance a person habitually uses or craves most: Alcohol was his drug of choice.
The phrase extends figuratively to any preferred indulgence: Coffee is my drug of choice.
