Answer 8

Stereotypes... I drink beer and tequila (no margaritas!)

Answer 9

Tracey...That is funny you bring that up. When I first met my ex wife we were both beer drinkers. After s*x and the City came on the air is was all about the Cosmopolitans.

Answer 10

I like beer, wine and cocktails. I think it's a matter of preference, as many men I know like whiskey and scotch instead of beer.

Answer 11

They need to go to the midwest-beer is cheap-everyone drinks it-both men and women. No way is beer a man's drink there. It's hard to get a pitcher of cocktails-you know what I mean?

Answer 12

I didnt know that. I thought we all had the freedom to drink what we wanted to drink... However if I were going to drink an alcholic beverage it would be a Guiness chilled to 34 degree's. Only 12 oz. at a time so it didnt get warm. Or a dirty martini with blue cheese olives.

Answer 13

Stereotypes. Traditional "men's drinks" like Scotch, gin and tonic, Manhattans, etc. are cocktails. And James Bond drinks martinis.

Blame "s*x and the City" for turning martinis into a symbol of sexually liberated womanhood.

Edit: Nikki, that is SO untrue. Nice, brown English ale is the libation love of my life.
