Am I the only one who doesn't think women come out of this very well? You're either a gossip, frigid, a whore or a 'wallflower' which looks to me suspiciously like she's guarding her drink from the aforementioned 'roofies' (read: frigid again).
Could just be my sensitivity to this sort of nonsense though.
@RubyStar: I think we all think that, but to me it seems like a waste of energy to get mad about it when we spend so much time shouting about this sort of nonsense already.
@boobalore: I drink from the stirrer because I don't want to put my mouth on the rim of the glass. I've worked in bars. The inside of the glass is the cleanest, the rim usually the dirtiest.
Umm, considering different beverages come in differently shaped vessels, doesn't it say more about one's tastes in booze than their personality type- I mean, I hold wine glasses because I like drinking wine, not creating a barrier.
@mouthalmighty: You're lying to yourself if you really believe that. I drink beer because steins tend to express my deep, hidden personality in ways I don't even truly understand.
I believe these types are inadequate as I am the Buffalo Type: I hold my glass in my non-dominant hand at all times as a symbol of my undying commitment to drinking games. Ahem, drinking lifestyles. I also hate talking to strangers, especially strange men, so I suppose this makes me a combination frat boy (drinking game) - ice queen.
I also peel the labels off beer bottles. Is that "castrating"?
@kithkin: Ah, no that is a sign (in my neck of the woods) of needing some sex. I have a friend who does this constantly, we can follow her around by tracing the labels.
@Cesybabe or Nirvanah Crane: That's what I've heard, too. Being a label peeler means you're sexually frustrated. Or so everyone tells me when I'm peeling away.
@Cesybabe or Nirvanah Crane: @Slovenly Muse: I wholly reject this theory! I'll peel labels whether or not I've gotten booty recently. I think it has more to do with the company I'm in. When I'm in a crowded, social situation I tend to get pretty anxious so I look for something to do with my hands. I'm a nail-biter, but even I know it's sort of gross to be chomping away after touching germy things in bars so I stick with peeling.
@Your Screenplay Sucks: I only do that with red plastic cups. Well, I only do that BLATENTLY with red plastic cups, but even when I'm out at nice places I hold my drinks by grabbing them by the top around the rim.
@sympathyforthedevil: I hold my pinky out while I drunkenly vomit into the closest toilet bowl and then daintily wipe my mouth with a lace handkerchief, because I am also a lady.
@sympathyforthedevil: I always have my pinky out. It gets me a lot of shit, but it also starts a lot of conversations. I can't help it! My pinky doesn't like to touch the glass. It's a snob that way.
@Your Screenplay Sucks: I hold my pinky out during lovely gymnast-like keg stands. And I keep it out during refined bar brawls too. Also, as the cops slip handcuffs past my outstretched pinky and onto my dainty wrists and I suggest activities they might enjoy doing later in the night and theorize about their mothers. A lady, through and through.
@sympathyforthedevil: I ever so gracefully chest bump you, madam. In an ever more vulgar & coarse culture, it is ladies like yourself that give me hope for the future.
@sympathyforthedevil: I have a friend who worked at a winery and used to swish natty light in his solo cup as one would a wine when sampling it. He'd also do this with cans, shortly before shotgunning them.

We could be discussing the evaporation rates of freshly placed concrete pavements and its relation to shrinkage cracking.

(thats when someone taps the bottom of their beer bottle onto the top of yours, resulting in an unfortunate eruption of beer.)
