Alcoholic Drinks

[Mallory]

Ahaha.. I'm not out at work and my industry involves manufacturing.  I sat down Friday night with a group of straight men (work related), all 45+ years old, I'm the youngest, clean shaven, they're rocking beards.  They order beer and JD and coke..

I look at the waitress and say, "I'll take a screwdriver."  LOL.. Their faces.. Next drink was a lemon drop and then they REALLY started looking.  And then finished off the night with 4 Raspberry Kamakaze's which next to a lemon drop is my absolute favorite.  What's fun about these "girly" drinks is the fact that their incredibly strong and they taste amazing.

Vodka straight, ice cold. Straight from the freezer

In addition to beer, Wisconsin is known for a massive consumption of brandy (usually in a proper old fashioned) as well as extravagant bloody Mary's. Example: http://sobelmanspubandgrill.com/menu/

Odd what makes people attach gender to beverage choice.

An old friend bartended in Australia 20 years ago, he said he couldn't put a stir in drinks if it was for a guy. They were offended by it.

My inner country girl loves either a good bourbon, old fashioned's, or whiskey sours.
Otherwise I do not really drink much.

Laiphroig single malt, preferably special distill.

Best pick up line I have had when I was visiting Grace and Catherine in Sydney.

'I have always wanted to meet a woman who can order a $50 single malt'

My reply. ''I like to meet men who can buy them for me"

We had a lovely dinner together.

Don't drink much anymore, but when I lived in San Diego the bar keep would automatically pour a double shot of
Jack Daniels with a tall glass of Coke on the side the moment I walked in

I'm a craft beer snob. So beer.

I can't drink liquor of any sort, since they make me sick just smelling them. You can try to cover up the taste all you want and I will still react terribly to them.

Beer is okay, but most of the popular types are just tasteless garbage. Some local craft beer can be pretty good, though. I'll drink most kinds of beer with the exception of IPA or generic commercial crap. I'm not too picky otherwise, but I don't care enough to drink beer often either.

Wine is probably my favorite, but I'm picky. I'll drink some whites (usually just gewürztraminer), but I dislike most of them. Sweet reds are just disgusting, especially dessert wines and ports. Dry reds are just heavenly to me, and tempranillo is my absolute favorite. I'll usually just have wine when I feel like I really deserve it.

Tea is way better, though. Alcohol is overrated.

Call me designated driver and pass me a Diet Coke.

I haven't drank any alcohol since 1986. However.......

....I do make wine, for cooking. I have some, er, unique dry reds in my cellar. Wild blackberry, pomegranate, chokecherry, and sumac to name a few. I have a lot of dry whites, pineapple, pear, mango, apple, green tea/ginger and there is also a bunch of bochet, or burnt honey mead. Again, I don't drink a drop of it, but I love making it!

Being a born & raised Tennessean, I will have to stick with my Jack & coke.

Has anyone tried Suntory Whiskey? I've heard nothing but good things.

This was originally in the 'Bad Jokes' topic but I felt it went well here as well...

I drank much more a few years ago than I do any more. That being said I prefer my drink match my food and/or mood.

Gin & tonic
Jamaican 10-speed
Dirty vodka martini, extra olives
Screwdriver
Corpse reviver #2
Almost anything with gin or vodka

Guiness
Cider
Most any kind of stout
Any other beer that goes with my food

Any and all wine. Again depends on my food and/or mood.

Is there connection to gender and drinking preferences?

Interesting post and question. I recall being mocked for wanting a strawberry daiquiri, when my male co-workers ordered beer once. One guy said to me "do you want a tampon with that ?", crude I know, but I remember this so well.

After I started HRT, I became a complete lightweight and can't drink very much without having a bad reaction, so I just don't (not never), just don't.

I prefer red wine, Champagner. 
No beer, never ever! I really don't like it at all.
HRT had no effect on it, it is still the same.

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.

I'd like to see him try to drink a bloody mary the way I like 'em.  Spicy enough to peel paint, though calling it a girly drink is just validation now.

Shots of whiskey and a ->-bleeped-<-.... 🤔
