What (if any) are your/doper stereotypes of the type of people that drink…
Lager
Guiness
Wine
Whiskey
Port
Brandy
Vodka
I am sure such stereotypes are not true. Even so - who do you Imagine drinks each of the above? (for example - Lager : Lads and young men. Wine : women, Port : rich people)
I am a woman.
I do not drink wine or brandy or port or fruity blenderized mixed drinks.
I prefer beer. Dark beers, regulars beer, lagers, ales, hard ciders, what-have-you. No light beer.
I’m a college guy and I drink St. Ides High Gravity Malt Liquor. People always say that malt liquor is crap (it’s basically stronger, maltier beer), but for some reason I kind of enjoy the taste. Plus, it’s dirt cheap and it gets me more wasted than I’d like to admit after only two 40 oz. bottles (one bottle gets a nice buzz going, as well).
Though I’m not a beer snob (pretty much any cheap beer will do–if it’s bad I can always just slam it and not have to taste it), I’ve become a liquor snob after trying Belvedere and Grey Goose brands of Vodka. They’re so smooth that when shot, it barely burns, and when mixed it’s like it isn’t there at all. Compared to those two brands, the cheap brands one finds at parties make me nauseous.
As for other liquors, it depends on the mood and with whom I’m drinking. I often don’t get the opportunity to drink wine, brandy, port, or Guinness. I guess I just fit the stereotypes then. Good for me.
I’m Irish and drink lots of Guinness and when I drink which is not all the time I drink lots of Jameson Whiskey. I’m pretty much a walking stereotype but then again so are most people over here
I don’t drink much alcohol these days. When I do, it’s usually beer. I don’t really have a brand preference, but I don’t like all that thick dark nastiness that so many of my friends are into. Man, if it’s thicker than the stuff I pour on my pancakes, forget it! Just give me a Bud.
Harder stuff, on the rare occasion I drink it these days, is usually whiskey–again, no real brand preference–often mixed with Coke.
There was a time long ago when I consumed copious amounts of booze, the higher the alcohol content, the better.
Me, I drink a little vodka but mostly beer. I do love a good wine, like (Shit I can’t spell this) Cabernet Sauvignon. This is great with a good fllet mignon. French Guys & Gals please forgive my messing up your wonderful language.
Single-malt scotch, esp. very peaty ones, neat, and probably more than I should drink at once.
Vodka - only in Bloody Marys.
Whiskey on ice. Whiskey and Coke. Whiskey and amaretto. Whiskey and whiskey with a whiskey chaser.
Don’t like rum, though in a pinch you can usually mix it in something, it ruins the taste of Coke though, in my opinion.
Haven’t tried a brandy yet that I liked.
Only like tequila in margaritas, except for Tarantula, which I can drink straight.
I like all kinds of wine, probably too much (as those who witnessed me at a Doper gathering at Chef Troy’s a year or two ago can attest). Especially like dryer reds.
I like gin and tonic, gin and juice, and dry martinis. Do not like gin straight unless it’s been shaken with ice and had some olives put in it.
I like most beers, except for cheap nasty sweet beers (cheap nasty dry beers are OK) and that red crap. I don’t have one particular kind I buy more than all others, but when I think back to my last dozen beer purchases or so I’d say a good 60% were Sam Adams, Tequiza, or Corona.
