Profiling Based on Your Beverage

I remember being told that women should never drink a beer out of a bottle--they should always use a glass. This was from a woman.

I looked at her and said, "You go to bars to pick up guys. Don't you want them to see how well your mouth works?"

Which, of course, implies I hate this sterotype thing. In finer restaurants, White Wine is best with chicken and fish, and Red Wine is better with red meat. That's a matter of knowledge or taste, whatever.

As for the server who made the Zinfandel remark--you KNOW that as a server, you send off little vibes about how you feel about that customer, right? So, it may not be the drink, but the employee.

Shin's absolutely right--judging a person by what he/she drinks is the most insecure thing in the world. That means you have problems that need to be dealt with.

And there's a bar around here that invented their own Lemonade (I think it might have been sold to Mike's) and it's strong.

Oh, and BTW--I drink Long Island iced teas.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

You know, it's not like we're saying we drink every night of the week.

It's been over a year since my last alcoholic drink--how about them apples?

If I do go out--I get Long Island iced teas for a reason. I like them, but I don't have to make them.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

There is one thing not mentioned here.

You're in a bar, and you see someone drinking Coke (no booze) or Orange Juice (no booze). What does that tell you? They're wimps? No--they either have liver damage or they are the designated driver.

And, I've had enough about these mixed drinks things being for girls and guys, too.

Let me give you a history lesson. These "fruity" drinks are known as Cocktails. They came about during prohibition to hide the alcohol that was in the drink. So, next time someone looks at someone drinking one of these drinks--just think: "Wow. They're drinking something invented to BREAK THE LAW."

How ya doing, buddy?

I never get water, because when people pour water in glasses in restaurants or bars, the water usually tastes dirty.

I'm allergic to cigarette smoke, so I don't go too often.

And, you may have hit on something.

Are people actually drinking these alcoholic drinks--or are they just holding them? And BTW--unless you drink it, how do you know if that Coke has rum in it, or if that OJ is actually a screwdriver?

PERCEPTION!

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

It was the whole Perception thing. People assume that you can't drink because A) of Medical reasons or B) you're the Designated driver.

Most people don't think that you're not drinking simply because you don't want to. Just like they think you're drinking a "fruity" drink because you're gay. Or you drink Zinfandel because you're cheap.
