A guy friend recently introduced me to a drink called "nuts and berries". Although I personally liked the drink, its name alone probably qualifies it to be added to the list of drinks men should not order.

Those drinks are AWESOME!!! One of our friends has an au pair from Brazil and at one of their BBQs she and her friends were making them. Yum!!

Aren't they though? I encourage anyone who is interested -- and doesn't need to drive or think or function for 24 hours -- to try one. Or two. Or three. Ouch

Didn't Clarence the angel order some drink in "It's a Wonderful Life" that got him booted out of Nick's Bar? Wasn't it a flaming rum punch or something?

I saw a list on the KCRA website of alchoholic drinks men should never order:

No Zima. I don't care who you are. Just say "no".

WOW that looks like the list of drinks we serve at our house.

What's wrong with Tequila Sunrise? This is prolly one of my fave cocktail drinks & I aint no pansy.

I included them because they just sound like the type of thing one would order if they didn't know any other more manly drink. It sounds like a drink for a guy in a 70's disco with a perm and a sock in his polyesther pants.
Also personally I can't help but recall years ago when I waited tables and two really lispy, effeminate gay guys came in and told me, "I'd love a tequila thunrithe."

Just out of curiosity - what do you drink Al?

me, I drink beer almost 90% of the time. But are you gonna say we're wussy's if we like wine too? cause if so then I'm a huge wuss cause I love wine... wouldn't order it at a bar but I like it with dinner. About the only other drink I ever order is martini's and margaritas

I don't drink a whole lot. When I do I drink mainly beer, but occasionally scotch, bourbon, irish whiskey, tequila or rum. And yes I do drink wine at times, mainly with a meal.

The flip side to that coin is that I know gay dudes (acquaintances) that drink beer like there's no tomorrow & one in particular who can drink a bottle of tequila on his own straight up, so I'm unsure where we're headed with this conversation

Did you guys happen to catch "The Little Ice Age" on the History channel? It explained the roots of beer production and drinking vs. wine consumption. I guess that most Americans are beer and other grain (whiskey, etc.) brews rather than wine...unless you're on either of the coast where wine consumption is larger than in the US interior.

Yeah...and I know I'm coming off like Cliff Clavin from Cheers.

Out.

Forget high gas prices, or the housing slump, the price of beer is outpacing inflation!

I'm just kidding, actually. I don't really know why any "real man" would give a crap what other people think of his drink of choice. Seems a bit like being worried whether other people think your shoes are manly enough or if your shirt is manly enough. It's the self-consciousness that's wimpy, as far as I'm concerned.

Agreed - I don't really care what people think about what I drink. Of course, I do all my drinking alone in a dark room when no one's around , so it's never really been an issue.


BTW - if I were a Southern Lutheran, the punchline would be "that's not because I'm an alcoholic, it's because I'm a Baptist", but since I'm not a Southern Lutheran, I'd be out of line to say that.
