Why do people judge you on what you drink?

Just drink paint thinner, then people will know you're the balls.

All kidding aside, I don't understand it either. To hell with what I'm drinking as long as you didn't pay for it and have to share it with me. I got ridiculed pretty bad by my old college buds this past weekend when I was in town for a wedding. Back then I was a big drinker - the norm for college students - but now I abstain for the most part due to various reasons. The groom-to-be ordered me a drink because I didn't know what I wanted and the ol'school standby of double Jack & coke didn't sound too tasty. What ended up coming my way was a tequila sunrise. Needless to say, when that bright colored drink with an orange slice and umbrella came to me at the bar I caught s*** like no other. That diabolical bastard! lol

I love margaritas. If a man looks down on you for drinking a margarita then he just has a personal problem(s).

I like mojitos better than all of the other girly drinks. But yeah, sweet/"girly" drinks are not to my taste in general, simply because I can't deal with the sweet liquors/syrups they often contain. I try to stay away from high-fructose corn syrup, and almost any of those drink mixes or syrups that they use for fruity cocktails is loaded to the gills with it. My terrible experiences in high school with sweet liquor like schnapps and crap like that turned me against the whole category, basically.

I like a nice gimlet too. That's Betty Draper's drink haha.

Manhattans became semi-girly since Sex in the City, but it's freakin whiskey/rye, vermouth, and bitters... nobody can convince me that's a girly drink.

People try to make fun of me for drinking Bud Light Lime (it's the only beer I can continuously drink), and I just tell them it gets me drunk just like anything else.

Or I just tell them to come do some shots with me because I love them, but most people aren't into them.

LOL at the moist picture. Classic.






And bgeno, Bud Light Lime is a great summer beer. Last summer me and my friends probably went through 3 or 4 cases a week drinking them everyday at the pool.

Every once in a while I'll get some random cr*p from some "tough guy" when I'm drinking Mich Ultra...

I had this one guy say something like "so, how are those tennis beers going down", really ruefully...like it wasn't "manly" to drink it...

It's really no different that a Miller Lite, but those are marketed to NASCAR fans and Ultra's are marketed to fitness yuppies...

The other super low carb beer (I have blood sugar issues, so these are my preferred / usual options) is Natty Lite, which is considered a "beer pong" / college beer...

Three beers, pretty much the same...three VERY different marketing strategies / target demos make for three very different reactions...

Moral?

Most people are waaaay goofy...so ignore them whenever possible / neccesary...

Or hit the tanning bed?

I eat Special K Blueberry cereal, I drink margaritas all the time (mexican cuisine is my favorite), I tan regularly, I wear flip flops regularly....and I shave my entire body except for my armpits.

Now let the talk begin.

I don't care if people see me lugging around a box of Apple Jacks at the school library and snacking on it.

Blame it on the media over the decades in America. The media got people changing their selves all the time to fit in. Don't believe me ? Look at the following.......

1. Got white people tanning because pale skin isn't cool anymore apparently.....

2. Got black people dying their hair blonde and wearing blue contacts to appear more white....

3. Got men buying SUV's and pick up trucks, because mini vans and small cars aren't considered manly unless it is a small sports car.

4. Got kids choosing big name schools instead of their in state school, supporting their local economy because their in state school don't have a cool well known name. Even though you can get the same type of education almost anywhere.

5. Got men smoking winstons or newports, because virginia slims are too girly.

6. Men say they about to bbq steak loud and proud, but don't ever mention out loud they also grilling some veggies and fish too.

7. Got people wearing contacts more often now because wearing glasses isn't cool anymore, especially among women.

8. Now its with drinks......Apparently when your grown you suppose to stop drinking kool aide and sodas with dinner and suppose to drink beer and wine now.

9. When your grown for breakfast you suppose to drink coffee....

I can go on and on about how people judge you and how the media brain wash people into believing you have to do certain things in order to fit in and be considered cool.

Re: Why do people judge you on what you drink?

I remembered when I joined the military I was made fun of because I didn't smoke, didn't drink coffee or drink alchohol. I wasn't considered a real man. And being that I didn't like motorcycles or pick up trucks or hunting, didn't help matters either LOL.

Haha, just like me.

I hate coffee, smoking, DIPPING (huge in the military currently), rarely drink, drive a sports car, never been into hunting, so I know how you feel lol. Right now I'm attending a school and when we have our breaks 95% of my class goes straight to the smoke deck.
