I, for one, applaud you, kind sir. These classless imbeciles that defend their drinks that mask the quality of the liquor they’re drinking know nothing of how a civilized person should consume alcohol. If you merely explore the world of quality beers, whiskies, vodkas, rums, or whatever you may drink, I’m sure you’ll find that there are plenty of tasteful alternatives to the cheap rotgut to which you’re accustomed.

I agree. You’re not a pussy if you drink wine, you’re just a sophisticated guy who needs to drink something with dinner before you pick up the Bushmills.

Just to clear some things up from the comments: mikhail7 should just stop commenting. None of his assertions are based in reality. I seriously doubt he’s ever even seen a text in developmental biology, and to talk as foolishly as he did about testosterone levels is probably the funniest thing I’ve seen today. Actually, beer has very high levels of estrogen-like compounds in it. Hops are being studied all over the world because they produce a very therapeutic form of estrogen that can be used to treat post-menopausal women.

And ethanol is a poison, or more specifically a toxin. We live in the age of the internet, there shouldn’t be “arguments” about FACTS like these.

I’m also confused as to how drinks are ranked in “manliness.” It seems to have little to do alcohol percentages (beer vs. fruit martini). Is it the historical age of the drink? Newer drinks seem to be considered “girly” while ancient drinks (beer and grain spirits) seem to have very “manly” connotations. Is it just historical context or is there any actual subjective scoring of this?

The one disagreement I have with your list is the “screw me blue” better know as a different name. This drink to me would be classified under the long islands family of drinks. Like the long islands you have one have to be careful on how many you drink. Being a person that can do a fair share of drinking, I find going with drinks like these will save more money because the alcohol per volume is more. Plus is your trying to avoid the beer gut with the ladies, but your still trying to get intoxicated this to me is the best route to go.

Thank God for you, sir. I had the privilege of learning to drink on a trip to Italy with some fellow writing students, and as pretentious as the whole matter was, goddamn could these pussy writers drink. So maybe something to mediate the you’re-a-fucking-queer vs you’re a fucking queer debate, I’d say these guidelines are really more appropriate for drinking like a sophisticated man in instances where being sophisticated is to your advantage. If you enjoy appletinis, you have every right to drink them without shame (and when people make fun of you, try offering them some or just taking it like a man, instead of insisting on the brevity of their genitalia). And on the other end, I am guilty of occasionally going to a college party with two bottles of Nighttrain and “derailing,” as it were. Neither are sins(well, maybe the latter, but and excusable one). But if I’m drinking with people who know how to drink, or with people I’m trying to impress, I go for, at least, a Jack and Coke, or a glass of Brunello, or an Affligem, or a glass of grappa, and I (and my girl-seeking penis) win for the night. A Stella Artois or Newcastle in the hand is better than two Natty Ice kegstands on the bathroom floor.

sometimes i feel the need to turn down an offered drink (Gasp!). You know that really hammered guy that no one will talk to that’s trying to make you feel obligated to talk to em? Then you run into him on the street 3 months later and some freakin how he remembers you and now you owe him? Crap, I hate that guy…,

Kudos bud, more people need to read this. Until I was introduced to good scotch I had no idea what I was missing. Since then I have come to love Bourbons, my favorite being Basil Hayden. Or a good Irish Whiskey like Redbreast.

Guinness is my “light” beer for when I’m just pounding back a few with my buddies. But the greatest American Brewery IMO is Sam Adams, I really haven’t tried any of their beers that I haven’t liked. I’m not sure how I ever drank “domestic” beers. Fun Fact: Pabst is the largest American owned brewery now followed by Sam Adams. The big three of Miller, Coors, and Bud are all foreign owned.

Hey dumb-dumb, I can see when you post with two different names from the same IP address (43 and 44). You waited exactly 1 minute to make your dumbass point twice, though I’m not even sure what it is you’re trying to get across.
