I might probably be hammered for these thoughts by guys…..girls let me know if you think alike. Guys take it in a good spirit!

Have you ever noticed your male friends frowning if they see a guy sipping a pink colour cocktail, any daiquiri or even a gin? Do you have friends who ridicule a guy who orders for vodka with sprite or gin with tonic water? I even know some men who would have had vodka as their first drink and then gradually moved to whiskey and his friends congratulating him on finally graduating.

A man drinks Scotch and Whiskey and is surprised, even shocked if a lady states that she prefers Whiskey over other drinks. Is it because they think a woman cannot handle Whiskey or is it a mental block that women only like liquor that tastes sweet? Have you ever noticed that when a guy makes a cocktail for a lady, it is always vodka based and almost always sweet?

It is rare to find anything else other than beer, Scotch and Whiskey in an all guys gathering. One might find occasional dark rum. A believer in this whole concept of masculine drinks would succumb to drinking wine or a cocktail, only if he is on a very formal first date or if nothing else is available. How often do you find men who know their drinks? How many men can distinguish the taste between a Johnny Walker and Chivas Regal or even a Signature and Royal Challenge?

Don’t get me wrong guys, I am not a feminist and advocating that all women know their drinks. All that I am asking is….What is this whole concept about masculine drinks and What is it with men and their adherence to yellow/gold liquors?

Cheers!!!!
