Alcoholic Drinks

[Wild Flower]

Today I wa talking about one of my favorite drink; Bloody Mary. Then the guy told me I was a girl for drinking that drink. I thought that was a universal drink.

Anyway my preference includes this: wine, Vodka + Diet Mountain Dew (reminds me of Lana Del Rey), diet sodas mix with vodka.

Is there connection to gender and drinking preferences?

It's a cocktail, I suppose certain cocktails are considered drinks for ladies. I love a bloody mary, though. Screw what anyone thinks.

I worked in a bar once, I noticed women tended to prefer fruit cocktails and sweet alcopops or liqueurs more than men did, but not like it was very predictable what people would drink. I've seen guys polish off the Bacardi breezers and Smirnoff Ice and I've seen girls going for it on the lager and the vodka/red bull. And then there was the Hoegaarden that nobody would drink.

On the day i started HRT to celebrate i went out to lunch and asked the tender for the most "girlie" drink i could order. His recommendation was a "Lemon Drop", so i had two. Tastes like lemonade.

Apricot stone sours or white russians here. Bloody Mary that an everybody's drink.

[Yukari-sensei]

Long Island Iced Tea or Dirty Martini here. It all depends on my mood.

Absinthe. The old fashioned way with some distilled water and a sugar cube.

Or a vodka martini so dirty it gets kicked out of strip clubs.

But I tend to drink very little as it promotes poor health and transitioning or not, a healthy body is a happy body.

I think people can be classified by their choice in alcohol about as much as they can by the car their favorite color (mine is red or black, BTW).

I prefer vodka, tequila, Scotch, and various whiskeys. I've never been fond of sweet "girly" drinks and I can't stand wine.

Fire Cracker! 1 1/4 oz of rye whiskey, fill tall glass with crushed ice, add cranberry juice and sugar to taste. Cranberry juice is good for the urinary tract ladies!!

Screwdrivers are great too!

Love,
Clare

Slivovitz (basically Balkan plum moonshine) is my poison, arak (high-proof grape alcohol flavored with aniseed) is a close second. That being said, I've had to tone it down because I'm on HRT.

Apple and Pear ciders are going fantastically in Australia at the moment with good choices and high quality product. Apparently there is some tax advantage for these over some other alcohol varieties.

Loving the James Squire Apple Crush on tap or Bulmers and Magners if available. For spirits I lean towards Cointreau with mixers.

I've drunk and enjoyed beers on and off but always had the problem of guys in the group drinking like fish and wanting everyone to do rounds. Since I started drinking less/sometimes none with excuses like "training for a marathon" I've become a cheap date and 2 drinks then 1 an hour is usually enough.

Australian drinking culture even among middle class professionals is so blokey that even drinking a light beer or grabbing a water or soft drink between rounds can get you labeled a "bit of a girl" .

I've always been more fond of beer, especially Guinness. Those sugary mixed drinks, well those hangovers could kill ya.

Back then, before Hormones and before coming out to Family/Friends..I used to drink Crown Royal with my Brother In Law. we'd play the Wii Golf and have 3-5 Crown and Cokes before Dinner (Keep in mind I'm a Social Drinker only so if nothing is going on in the family or with Friends, I Never Drink)....

Fast Forward....

Today, over 8 months on Hormones, they DO have an effect with Alcohol and can cause issues. Your Liver is already working hard so why make it work harder?
Last get-together we all had...we played Golf on the Wii and I had 3 Glasses of Red Wine the ENTIRE day. Oh, I felt it.

I have a boxed bottle of Crown Royal in the cabinet that I bought over a year ago, untouched. lol

I wonder who will drink that? I sure won't.

[Angélique LaCava]

I LOVE WHITE RUSSIANS.

[Stella Sophia]

Vodka redbull. I am a straight to the point kind of girl.

[kittenpower]

Or a vodka martini so dirty it gets kicked out of strip clubs.

[Hikari]

I just prefer cheap sweet wines like Lambrusco or cider like the Stella Artois Cidre. I drink maybe once or twice a month right now.

[Ms Grace]

I don't drink much, but when I do my preferences are red wine, champagne, apple cider and (only very occasionally) beer. It all depends on how thirsty I am and the mood I'm in. Many years ago at university I used to drink scotch for a while but I can't stand the taste of spirits now.

I think people can be classified by their choice in alcohol about as much as they can by the car they drive or their favorite color (mine is red or black, BTW).

I prefer vodka, tequila, Scotch, and various whiskeys. I've never been fond of sweet "girly" drinks and I can't stand wine. Does that make me less of a woman? I don't think so. It makes me a consumer who likes some things and not others.
