What Your Drink Says About You

Your drink can say a lot about you. Especially if you're out on a first date (um, because you TOTALLY nabbed that hottie at happy hour!), so if you're trying to make an impression-good, bad, outrageous- (whatever, we don't judge) , be conscious of your beverage selection. Here's what we think the following drinks say on a first date:

Beer- Either, "I'm low maintenance and can kick back like one of the boys", or "I'm at a brewery". However, if you're drinking Natty Light (aka "Natural Light") it says "I like water" and if it's Miller High Life it says "I'm a little trailer trashy". There's really no good reason you should be drinking a 40 on a first date.

Cosmos- "I heart Sex and the City and the color pink". Seriously, that show put cosmos and Manolos on the map. Not that that's a bad thing.

Rum and coke, cranberry vodkas- "I'm unoriginal and sheep-like. Baaa. Isn't that what everyone else is drinking?"

Apple or Chocolate Martini- "I like the look of drinking but hate the taste of alcohol. I'm girly".

Sloe Screw Against the Wall, Harvey Wallbanger- "Why are we not back at your place yet?"

The Skinny Girl Margarita, by Anne Hathaway and Kate Hudson- "Does this glass make me look fat?"

One final note. There are A LOT of drinks out there and bartenders, no matter how good they are, won't know them all. Especially for the way out there drinks (usually shooters, but not always) know what's in a zombie (light and dark rum, grenadine, oj, triple sec, sour mix) or sand in your butt (pineapple juice, midori, soco) so you can tell the bartender if necessary. Don't get caught having to do the awkward shrug when the bartender asks you what's in it. Happy beveraging!
