Does Your Drink Preference Actually Define You?

Let’s take a quick survey.  By show of hands, how many of you make assumptions about people based on the drink they choose to drink?  You know, their “usual”.  All of you should have lifted your wrists to the air.  I’m certainly guilty of these assumptions as well.  Here are some of the assumptions we most likely make according to drink choice:

1) Wine – Stuck up or Depressed

Oh come on, don’t act surprised by this one.  Typically when we see people purposely opt for a glass of wine instead of a beer, we assume they’re the “hoity toity” snob who chooses to drink more expensive alcohol to prove status.  If they happen to raise their pinky while taking a sip, and also happen to be wearing gloves, we know for sure that they’re a true poser.  On the opposite side of the spectrum, we know that wine is also the go-to drink for crybaby girls who want to drown in sorrow and get drunk quicker.  But, I digress.

2) Beer – Broke

While some of us choose to drink beer simply because we like the taste, often we do characterize people who drink only beer as finding the cheapest way possible to get a buzz.  If they are drinking Natty Light, that’s a HUGE red flag!  (That shouldn’t stop you from ordering if from us, though!)

3) Liquor – Really rich or really stupid

So people who love to indulge in the costly liquor typically seem to be extremely wealthy (think superstars) or extremely stupid.  I know I’m not the only one to have witnessed a rich person throwing back iced Scotch one after the other, or ordering an entire bottle of Champagne, none of which they actually drink.  But, I, and probably you too, have also witness that “one guy” who always shows up with a huge stack of bills, throwing them like they’re candy at a parade, drinking drink after drink.

The truth of the matter, however, is that your choice of beverage doesn’t define YOU, it simply defines your PREFERENCE.  So rest easy my rich, really stupid, stuck up, depressed, and seemingly broke peers, all is well, and we are here for your drinking needs.  Cheers!
