Before you order a drink on RAGBRAI in public, you should read this! Seven Iowa City bartenders were asked if they could nail a woman's personality based on what she drinks. Though interviewed separately, they concurred on almost all counts. The results:
Drink: Beer:
Personality: Casual, low-maintenance; down to earth.
Your Approach: Challenge her to a game of pool.
Drink: Blender Drinks:
Personality: Flaky, whiny, annoying; a pain in the ass.
Your Approach: Avoid her, unless you want to be her cabana boy.
Drink: Mixed Drinks:
Personality: Older, more refined, high maintenance, has very picky taste;
knows EXACTLY what she wants.
Your Approach: You won't have to approach her. If she's interested,
she'll send YOU a drink.
Drink: Wine (does not include White Zinfandel)
Personality: Conservative and classy; sophisticated yet giggles.
Your Approach: Tell her you love to travel and spend quiet evenings with
friends.
Drink: White Zinfandel:
Personality: Easy; thinks she is classy and sophisticated, actually she
has
NO clue.
Your Approach: Make her feel smarter than she is...this should be an easy
target.
Drink: Shots:
Personality: Likes to hang with frat-boy pals and looking to get totally
drunk...and naked.
Your Approach: Easiest hit in the joint. You have been blessed. Nothing
to do but wait. However, be careful not to make her mad!
Drink: Tequila:
No explanations required -
everyone just KNOWS what happens there.
THEN, there is the MALE addendum -- The deal with guys is, as
always, very simple and clear cut:
Domestic Beer: He's poor and wants to get laid.
Imported Beer: He likes good beer and wants to get laid.
Wine: He's hoping that the wine will give him a sophisticated image to
help him get laid.
Whiskey: He doesn't give a damn about anything but
getting laid.
Tequila: He is thinking he has a chance with the
toothless waitress.
White Zinfandel: He's gay!
