* Informal: "If I had my druthers, I'd be relaxing on a beach right now." (meaning: If I had the choice)
* With a slight negative connotation: "He didn't want to go to the meeting, but he went because his boss insisted. He would have much rather stayed home, if he had his druthers." (meaning: He would have preferred to stay home)
* To emphasize personal preference: "I'd love to try that new restaurant, but my friends are set on going to the one we always go to. I guess it's fine, but it wouldn't be my first druthers." (meaning: I would prefer a different option)
* To indicate a strong preference: "I know they want me to take the job, but I'm not sure I want it. If I had my druthers, I'd be doing something else entirely." (meaning: I have a very strong preference for another option)
Remember: "Druthers" is a very informal word, so it's best to use it in casual settings or when trying to sound friendly and relaxed.
