Is a screwdriver a boring drink?

Question

Okay -- normally if I go out I'll just have a few Bud Lights. But yesterday I had eaten an entire pizza and felt so full and just couldn't stomach any beer because it was making me feel even fuller. The bartender (who is a friend) gave me a hard time when I told him I was going to have a screwdriver instead. (Actually it was the female bartender who was leaving the bar -- she told the male bartender, "Don't give him a screwdriver! Making him a [something or other I can't remember]!"

I don't drink liquor very often, so I thought a screwdriver would be all right. Was I wrong? He made it with Absolut Vodka without my asking (normally they charge more but he's a good guy and is nice to me). Anyway, I figured at least with a screwdriver I'd be getting my Vitamin C and I wouldn't feel that bloated beer feeling. Thoughts?

Answer 1

you look good enough to have whatever you want!:)

Answer 2

It's like ordering a harvey wallbanger. It's just an older drink... nothing wrong with it. If it's what you want, drink it.

Answer 3

I dont think it is a boring drink, it is just not something I personally would order at a bar. Next time just ask the bartender for a drink that is lighter so it will not fill you up like beer does. I drank screwdrivers all the time my freshman year of college because it was it was easy and the orange juice masked the taste of the vodka.

Answer 4

No its not a boring drink, but atleast you got your Vitamin C..

Answer 5

Not so much boring as rather juvenile.  Something you see a lot of younger people drinking (as the orange juice will have a rather sweet taste)

Next time...since you (sort of) ate Italian food, you could have a sambuca.  

If you like vodka...have a martini (a real one, not some green or pink concoction).  

Answer 6

You're on a slippery slope.  Today a screwdriver, tomorrow a manhattan, and before know it you'll be sipping Marguerita's in your slingbacks, gossiping with the girls.

Be a man.  At least down a whiskey.  :-)

(My dreams of you are now completely shattered)

Answer 7

that my friend depends on how many you have.I dont think anything is boring if you have enough of it.  

Answer 8

Screwdriver is a very over played drink.

Look some up online and find a few that you might like.
