Behind The Bar: So You Want My Number, Huh? By Holly, Hipsterpad.com|Email|
It’s true, bartenders judge others on what kind of drink they order. Don’t worry, chances are we don’t care enough to laugh about it past the time you walk away. However, I’ve detailed the popular drinks I’ve made, and what they say about the people who drink them.
Beers: Budweiser: You’re a man who knows what he likes and is going to stick with it, even if it’s fattening and cheap. You’re an 18-year-old girl who thinks you look cool because you’re consuming calories while you get schlammered.
Bud light: You’re a man who can’t handle a Bud-heavy or you’re underage and don’t know what else there is to drink. You’re a girl who doesn’t try other types of beer and is unaware that beer doesn’t have to taste bad.
Coors light: You’re in a fraternity and drink Coors because everyone else does, too. The silver label matches your new polo and looks great with a fratastic pair of shoes.
Corona:You’re a huge loser for ordering a beach beer in a bar. The only way you can get by with this order is if you’re really from the islands.
Mixers: Jack and Coke: You’ve had a rough day and are looking to get drunk fast. Guys who drink it can gain a little respect, girls however, just look silly.
Bacardi and diet:You’re a girl who’s too strict on her diet and has seen too many of those commercials that say 0 calories in a Bacardi and diet. Get over yourself and have fun.
Malibu and coke: You think you’re getting wasted when it’s really just the sugar giving you heartburn. I don’t get the craze with this order; doesn’t everyone know there’s .05% of alcohol in Malibu?
Crown and water: You know what you like and it’s a good, stiff drink. You’re a man’s man and you know how business works.
Specialty: Vodka dirty martini: You’re strong enough to handle vodka, but you stick to mainstream tastes. You know what you like and you’re not afraid to order it.
Cosmopolitan: You’ve seen way too many episodes of Sex and the City. You swear by this drink although it’s taste isn’t your favorite, you feel pretty carrying it.
Margarita: You’re tacky and probably should’ve just ordered yourself a Corona. A tequila slushie should only be enjoyed with salty chips, not peanuts or cigarettes.
Bloody Mary: You’re wearing a broken watch because these are only to be enjoyed over brunch. While you have great taste in cocktails, your timing is all wrong.
These observations are to be taken with a grain of salt, a wedge of lime and a tequila shot. As a bartender, I do share the occasional chuckle with my coworkers at certain drinks we make.
Everyone has different tastes and when it comes to drinking, a bartender will respect anyone who knows what they like. I personally enjoy a Newcastle, Sapphire tonic, or a Stoli Sprite.

I thought what you wrote was pretty funny, although I did have to cut a
girl off with Malibu and Cokes( Yes I'm totally serious, she was
obnoxiously drunk)
Thanks for the laugh!
