What do you prefer?
Aperitifs easily turn into deceiving alcoholic trip, which augments the hunger (turns appetite into a whole in the stomach).
I prefer digestif, because I usually overeat myself. It may be negroni cocktail with cup of coffee.
If I am in the mood I can take aperitif in the form of scotch, burgeois drink for wannabee middle-class members from developing countries.

Aperitif. All I want after eating is a doze.

Normally neither. Very seldom digestif and even more seldom (about once a year) apperitif.

A glass of Port after dinner thank you.

There ought to be a word that means 'more seldom than very seldom'. It seems like a gap in the lexicon.

I like to indulge in alcohol occasionally quite deliberately as a disintegratif, maybe once or twice a month. I don't bother with it on an incidental basis, as an apperitif or digestif or night cap etc.
