Ever see someone order a drink at a bar and immediately conjure up what that person’s personality is probably like? How can you not? Make sure you're aware of the impression that your beverage of choice is conveying. Here’s a list of what your drink order says about you:
Malört: "I'm a Chicagoan and I'm so proud of it that I'm willing to burn my throat. Also, I am way too drunk and trying to impress a potential date."
Frozen Daiquiri: "We have a babysitter until midnight."
Manhattan or Old Fashioned: "I know the difference between 'whisky' and 'whiskey.' Also, I'm going to give you the cold shoulder while conversing at a bar."
Wine: "I either have refined taste or am trying really hard to prove that I do (because even getting drunk off of cheap wine is incredibly classy)."
Commercial beer in a bottle: "I'm on a budget. I have no shame, especially if I'm downing said beers on a boat on the lake."
Cheap beer in a can: "I'm in Wrigleyville and fresh out of college." Or: "I am a tourist who wasn't sure where to go and asked a 23-year-old."
Craft beer on draught: "I support independent breweries. I probably live in Wicker Park or Logan Square."
Mojito: "I ordered this solely because I like the way that it's pronounced. Look at all the plants in my glass, aren't I fancy?"
Margarita: "I'm looking to have a good time! Also, I'm likely to be hammered drunk by 11pm with shoes my off walking barefoot down Hubbard Street."
Cosmo: "I'm here with a bachelorette party." Or: "I just watched Sex and the City and think it’s still relevant."
Whisky sour: "I just graduated college and can finally afford a drink."
Martini: "If I'm at a martini bar, I'm on point. If it's a regular bar or restaurant, I should probably just go to TGI Fridays."
Jell-O shots: "I'm trying to relive the good 'ol days of 21. Hint: I'm failing."
