Profiling Based on Your Beverage

I was listening to the radio on the way in to work this morning, and they were discussing how people sometimes judge the kind of person you are based on what you're drinking.

For example, a lady called in and said that she's a server in a restaurant, and if anyone orders white zinfandel she assumes that they're trashy and probably won't tip her worth a crap. A couple of other people called in and said that men shouldn't drink any colored or fruity drinks - ever. By far, the womens' preference for what men "should" drink was dark beer...in a glass, never a bottle, and men seem to prefer women who drink martinis, which is odd, because I don't know any women who drink them. The general consensus was that no one should drink beer in a can unless they're doing some outdoor activity like tailgating or boating.

Will anyone else admit to doing this?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I admit to the white zinfandel thing, having been a server for years. And also, a man drinking any wine other than red sets off my creepy dude alarm, but I never really thought about some of the other ones that were mentioned.

A funny story: Just last week my husband and I went out for some drinks, and he took a sip of my pomegranate/Red Bull drink and liked it so much that he wanted to order one, but wouldn't because it was red and fruity. I told him he was being ridiculous, but according to all these people, he was right. =/

There's nowhere I can't reach.

White zinfandel is that pink wine that sometimes comes in a box and should never be consumed, ever.

How ya doing, buddy?

For someone who has no time for it, you sure took a big enough chunk out of your day to write that essay.

It's fine if you don't do it. Apparently people do, though, and I was just curious about people's perceptions here. I actually never realized I did it, either, until I heard all those people calling in about it on the radio today. And the odd thing was, they pretty much were all in agreement. So that should tell you something.

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

Well, apparently Rab and I are the only ones who will admit to doing this. On a positive note, I have to say that a guy drinking a black and tan is kind of hot, for some reason.

How ya doing, buddy?

To everyone who has been deeply offended by this thread, it's true that you really can't look at a guy drinking a glass of chardonnay and determine with 100% accuracy that the guy is a fag, but it's the little clues about people that allow others to size them up.

Seemingly superficial things like how someone dresses, what they drink, whether or not they smoke, how they speak, who they associate with, etc. might not mean much when you look at each item individually, but when you put the whole puzzle together using all the little clues that people give, you can usually get a pretty good analysis of a person.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
