You can go ahead and drink the PBR. I reinforce stereotypes with my preferred drink of gin and diet tonic water.

I’d argue about that assessment. This petty argument is pretty amusing.

PBR for my ilk is like G&T for yours. I know, I tended bar at the Boom-Boom Room.

Clearly not the one I thought it did. (But I think it’s key to the stereotype that the tonic water be diet.)

In a gay male bar, you serve more gin and tonics than all other drinks combined. Diet or non. You’re making gin and tonics all night long.
