Here's What Your Drink Order Says About You, According to Bartenders

Stereotype: “I worked behind a bar during the height of that terrible, vapid show “Sex and the City”.
Women would come in, in groups, all ordering cosmos, tipping way less than even a beer would warrant, and wind up screeching drunk at the bar, laughing about which character they were…. and trashing whichever one was in the bathroom or having a cigarette outside.
Without fail.” –Ihearthiking

A “Strong” Drink

An outstanding #scotchwhisky !! #oban 14year Single Malt…. (Taste of honey and fruit with a very light smoke, not peaty at all). One of my favorites! A great way to start my weekend. #scotch #whisky #

Ultimately, choosing what you want to drink is your own decision, and you should drink whatever you like. Take it from bartender and redditor, Ridiculous_Diagnosis, and remember that your drink preference doesn’t really matter. He states,
