Say what? Republicans drink Johnny Walker Black and Red, Jack Daniels, Crown Royal, Seagram’s VO, Jim Beam, Maker’s Mark and Canadian Club. I’m shocked, just shocked. I love all of them!

On the other hand, I am distressed to see Chivas Regal, Seagram’s 7 Crown, and Canadian Mist on the blue side.

Yeah, pretty much. I noticed one of the blue drinks is “Smoking loon.”

Not too surprising...Grey Goose and Absolut are mainstays of “girlie drinks” preferred by schoolteachers and social workers.

Red/Blue usually aligns a bit like male/female.
