sartre 0 #1 May 27, 2006 I got this in an email & thought it was funny (and kinda right on): Before you order a drink in public, you should read this! Seven New York City bartenders were asked if they could nail a woman's personality based on what she drinks. Though interviewed separately, they concurred on almost all counts. The results: Drink: Beer Personality: Casual, low-maintenance; down to earth. Your Approach: Challenge her to a game of pool. Drink: Blender Drinks Personality: Flaky, whiny, annoying; a pain in the ass. Your Approach: Avoid her, unless you want to be her cabana boy. Drink: Mixed Drinks Personality: Older, more refined, high maintenance, has very picky taste; knows EXACTLY what she wants. Your Approach: You won't have to approach her. If she's interested, she'll send YOU a drink.................. Drink: Wine (does not include White Zinfandel) Personality: Conservative and classy; sophisticated yet giggles. Your Approach: Tell her you love to travel and spend quiet evenings with friends. Drink: White Zinfandel Personality: Easy; thinks she is classy and sophisticated, actually, she has NO clue. Your Approach: Make her feel smarter than she is...this should be an easy target. Drink: Shots Personality: Likes to hang with frat-boy pals and looking to get totally drunk... and naked. Your Approach: Easiest hit in the joint. You have been blessed. Nothing to do but wait, however, be careful not to make her mad! Drink: Tequila No explanations required - everyone just KNOWS what happens there. THEN, there is the MALE addendum ---- The deal with guys is, as always, very simple and clear cut: Domestic Beer: He's poor and wants to get laid. Imported Beer: He likes good beer and wants to get laid . Wine: He is hoping that the wine will give him a sophisticated image to help him get laid. Whiskey: He doesn't give a damn about anything but getting laid. Tequila: He is thinking he has a chance with the toothless waitress. White Zinfandel: He's gay!

JENNR8R 0 #2 May 27, 2006 I like beer, and I'll beat you in a game of pool. What do you call a beautiful, sunny day that comes after two cloudy, rainy ones? -- Monday. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PLFXpert 0 #3 May 27, 2006 Everyone here knows my answer: Wine (and no it's never Zinfandel). It's usually red and often Pinot Noir b/c it's my favorite and goes well with salmon I will, however, indulge in imported beers and mixed drinks on occassion (NEVER the fu-fu blended kind and NEVER a cosmo---it annoys the hell out of me when a woman orders a cosmo. To me, that screams wannabee-Sex-in-the-City). And that's my story...Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sartre 0 #4 May 27, 2006 You know, I just realized that my drink changes with my moods...which correlate exactly to the descriptions. Typically at home or out to dinner, I have red wine (me too, usually pinot noir). I tend to be more mellow and reserved. Partying with my friends, mixed drinks. I swear like a sailor, say whatever I want (usually something flirtatious towards the opposite sex) and spend the night laughing my a** off. *** edited to add: ok, they don't correlate exactly. I'm not sure I'd qualify for refined, classy or conservative. *** And that's my story! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PLFXpert 0 #5 May 27, 2006 I don't swear like a sailor---but I do use the "F" word more often than I think I should. Mostly b/c at least a few times a week, I catch myself saying "Are you fucking kidding me?" Everything amazes me and yet nothing surprises me I wouldn't call myself conservative, but by comparison to the crazies 'round these parts, I think I definitely qualify as such (P.S. Love ya'll)Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkydiveStMarys 0 #6 May 27, 2006 Wine for me too, Cab or Merlot. On a really hot evening I will have a taste for a Vodka and tonic with a lime, very refreshing. If its a bar-b-que...Mich Ultra light. If I am in the mood, I will have an after dinner(out never at home) drink/coffee...hold the whip cream though. BobbiA miracle is not defined by an event. A miracle is defined by gratitude.

PLFXpert 0 #7 May 27, 2006 Ooooooo, last night I had this wild berry vodka w/ apple schnapps and cranberry juice mix. It was SO good and a refreshing change from my usual choice of Pinot Noir. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkydiveStMarys 0 #8 May 27, 2006 I used to drink vodka and cranberry all the time way back when...to the point now I don't think I could get it past my mouth. All those schnapps, vodka concoctions...I don't think I could do that...too sweet...I am not a sweet drink type of person. BobbiA miracle is not defined by an event.

PLFXpert 0 #9 May 27, 2006 It wasn't sweet---my hunny thought it would be, too, but tried it and loved it---I ordered it with just a splash of apple schnapps and extra cranberry juice. I'm with you---CAN'T STAND the sweet drinks, though admitedly way back in my early teens when I first started hitting the Orlando clubs my drink of choice was....an amaretto sour I've come a long way, babyPaint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

monkycndo 0 #11 May 27, 2006 QuoteI am not a sweet drink type of person. Bobbi Good. That means there is more for me. I never developed a taste for beer or bitter type flavors. I like margaritas and sweet girly drinks( mojito, appletini, and yes, even a cosmo). I take a lot of shit for it, but who cares. I think we all look/act goofy once we are drunk, no matter how we got there. I'm not sure how I will look, because I've never been that drunk.50 donations so far. Give it a try.

FallinWoman 1 #15 May 27, 2006 I wish white zinfanfel would just disappear. My favorite wine is Zinfandel...the real stuff. It is not pink, it is not sweet. It is a real wine...red wine.

McBeth 0 #16 May 27, 2006 Yummy Zinfandel... never had it til I moved to CA, but I am a huge fan. I also like simple mixed drinks, and beer all depends on where I am. So I guess I must be a chameleon. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ImGunnaJump 0 #19 May 28, 2006 Well, you and I will have to go out for a drink because I also have never developed a taste for beer or the bitter drinks. I will have a Corona occasionally at the at the end of the night when I'm at the drop zone if it's really hot, and the Corona's really cold, and there's nothing else to drink - but I think maybe real beer drinkers don't consider Corona real beer anyway. And I love a good margarita! And I've seen plenty of women ordering beer when the boys are around to look casual and easy going,etc., and the men they attract eventually find out that they are anything but. Same thing happens w/wine - they talk about this being peppery and that being floral, and I've had several of my guy friends saying "I thought she was so cool, but she's nuts!". So I don't think someone's drink order is necessarily a good barometer of their personality or level of sophistication - I just think it's their drink order. But the article was fun to think about! Monkycndo, I'm whipping up a batch of margaritas in the blender now - you want salt on the rim????!"...I've learned that while the "needs" in life are important (food, water, shelter), it's the "wants" in life (ice cream, chocolate, sex) that make it worth the effort."

I don't order my drinks in order to appear anything. I order what I'm in the mood for, and that usually indicates how much trouble I'm planning on getting into! I couldn't care less what anybody else thinks about me based on my drink order! But then again, I'm old, and I've got noone to impress...... edited to add: uhh! whine!!! I've been craving a margarita since about noon today!!! I want some! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
