Washington, D.C. – August 18, 2008 – While there is no ballot box at the bar, DC’s best bartenders can identify political preference by cocktail selection and bar behavior. According to a survey released today, Democrats are seen as better tippers, have better pick-up lines and give better toasts. Republicans heavily outweigh Democrats when it comes to ordering their drink straight up. Parties are at a stalemate over drinking hours, with Republicans edging out for the first to arrive a happy hour and Democrats being the last to go home.
The survey was issued today by Beam Global Spirits & Wine, Inc. [Fortune Brands, Inc. (NYSE:FO)], a global leader in premium spirits, in collaboration with Clarus Research Group. Approximately 100 bartenders in the Washington, DC area were surveyed on their opinions of patrons’ cocktail preferences.
“According to the survey results, bartenders in Denver should know that they’ll hear better toasts while the bartenders in Minneapolis won’t need as much ice with their patrons ordering drinks straight up,” stated Bobby “G” Gleason, master mixologist for Beam Global Spirits & Wine.

And fer gosh sake keep him far away from water!
Here’s to you
And here’s to me
The best of friends
We’ll always be
But if by chance
We disagree
Then to f*** with you
And here’s to me!
(My favorite toast ;-) )
ohhhh
Had a bad experience with “Jack” back in my college days.
We haven’t spoken since!!
sounds like my former acquaintance with Jose Cuervo. I thought he was my friend, that backstabbing...
The worst tipper I ever knew was a big Democrat. He always left the change in his pocket. The best tippers are ex-waiters and bartenders.
It’s different, I can safely say that. :)

God made men out of string
He had some left over
So he gave them a thing.
God made women out of lace.
He didn't have enough
So he gave them a space.
Here's to the space.
ROTFL! :)

Good catch.
Maybe they have the best pickup lines for the booty call barflies at closing time...
The baggie of coke in their pocket is probably the Democrats’ top pickup line.
