wow, this topic popped up from the past. Who said time travel isn't possible? 

In my very youthful days, rum and coke but not for long, too dry. No beer, no wine, no champagne .. yuuch!
I switched to Black Velvet and coke very early. That was my go to drink for many years. Social drinking mostly. I dislike getting drunk (loss of control) I think now that 'loss of control' was a subconscious fear of what might come out. I was still buried and lying to myself back then.

Over the years to now I've switched to Black Velvet and Squirt (or wink) any grapefruit based soda. two drink max per evening. At home, Gin and tonic when I want to relax and unwind. One stiff drink will put me to bed.

no fruity drinks, too sweet

Is there connection to gender and drinking preferences?

My opinion, in a word, is no. I have presented, in public, as a man all my life, fyi, but I also tended toward what might be considered "girly" drinks by some. Rum and Coke has been a goto for me for years, but also screwdrivers (not so much these days, but there was a time...), mudslides. Sweet and tasty is nice, to me. Shots, generally not so much (although there was a time back in college with tequila, but I digress), unless it's a shot of some kind of liqueur.

A friend of mine invented a drink years ago which I do love - it probably exists out there under some other name, but we called it a Brown Russian. Irish Creme, Vodka, Rum, and Hot Chocolate. Love it.

Here a lot of women drink more than typical men.

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.

OK Late the thread!

My response: "Could be!"

I wouldn't engage the comment, but leave open the possibility that how I present in public, may not yet completely line up to who I am.  (A Trans Woman.)

Back then, before Hormones and before coming out to Family/Friends..I used to drink Crown Royal with my Brother In Law.

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?

This is why I chose the patch.

I do enough damage to my liver in other ways.  Thank You!
