Dave Jacobson, bar manager at Restaurant Miami in the trendy Uptown area of Minneapolis, Minn. offers a few thoughts on the message that certain drinks suggest, as well as a list of Drinks Men Should Never Order [slideshow]

I never realized drinking booze could be so complicated. It’s enough to drive one to drink!

[Daffynition]

HAHAHA!

Jim Beam and Coke, with a small lemon wedge squeezed in.

I actually put drinks into a couple different catagories. Summer and winter drinks, home and out drinks and cigar and non cigar drinks.
I agree about the fruit garnish except for when you drink a bourbon old fashion.
Also, frozen drinks are ok when there are at least two other (straight) men drinking them.
Also, the blush wines are normally for new wine drinkers except for the french or australian rose. Perfect for BBQ.

I’m thinkin’ that if you should be one of those who worries about what others think about you’re drinking ... then you have more than a drinkin’ problem.

I'll drink to that!

Every rule this guy listed is trumped for people, like me, who live in Kentucky.

I'm not a drinker, but even I know that there's only one drink appropriate for a real Kentuckian: bourbon.

"People who get these drinks are typically original thinkers," he said."They are also people who don't want to taste the booze in their drink."

These people exist????

Uptown is the viper’s nest of commie pukes that elected a muzzie to the US Congress.

So I should give a rat’s a** what some narcissistic, leftist bartender from a liberal sh*thole has to say about anything?

I always order water, plain water, unless I am feeling very festive, then I order sparkling water.

doesn’t speak to more fancy mixed drinks or shots which is probably where you can tell personality better.
most of this guys stereotypes, in my experience, are way off.

I am guilty (and have no plans of changing) of the following:

Craft Or Small Batch Beers- Heck, I make my own.

Imported Beer- Heck, other than Sam Adams or microbrews, I don't like American beer (sorry).

White Wine- A good Chardonnay is not fruity, and Gewurztraminer is awesome with Indian food.

Red Wine- My staple.

Rum And Cola/Diet Cola- Airport standard.

'Original' Martinis With Gin Or Vodka- The correct answer is clean with Vodka.

Whisky/Scotch On The Rocks- Minus the rocks.

Margarita- What can I say, I live in Texas.

LOL! Remember those “Light Alcohol” beers? If someone spends that much for a beer, they may as well feel it, too!

If one is sooooo concerned with how others view him, they need to work on their self esteem, not which drink they think may appear to make them look cool in front of others.

[Red in Blue PA]

Coca-Cola for me.

[absolootezer0]

These people exist????

yup, alot of them. but originality? from a screwdriver? no. colorado bulldogs, sex on the beach, any of the "breeze" drinks, stone sours, collins drinks- may point to an original thinker who doesn't want to taste their booze.
i've got a collection of drink specialties designed to be high in content, complex in flavour, and to not reek of booze just for these people.

[Daffynition]

LOL ... I know NO ONE like that!

Manhattan
Ah, the flavor of bourbon intermingling with vermouth, bitters and cherry. Some suggest it's the next big drink, soon to be hugely popular among the trendy set.

"Right now, the only people I see ordering Manhattans are older men with gray hair and glasses," said Jacobson. "But that doesn't mean that won't change."

The next trendy thing? I hope not. The Manhattan has been my drink of choice for a over a decade (even when I lived in Wisconsin, where they make it with brandy for some reason). I'd hate to see it ruined by a bunch of kids playing dress-up.

Then again, maybe I shouldn't worry. It requires a pretty sophisticated palate, if I do say so myself, and they'll be back on their fuzzy sweetie drinks soon enough.
