The 10 Commandments For Drinking Like A Man

Not a big martini drinker, but I'm old school. Gin belongs in a martini.

I'm starting to get into bourbon more and more. Usually stick with what I know (Beam, Maker's). Never really tried scotch, but it's something I want to get into.

And while I'll catch some slag for it, I'm a rum drinker. Me and the Captain go way back, but his cousin Sailor Jerry slides in from time to time as it as more bite.

I love beer, so it's my go-to drink of choice. A nod to TMC's 90 Minute IPA mention. Dogfish Head has some classics. If you get a chance, try their 120 Minute IPA. I got one of those beer a day calendars and have been pinning up beers I want to try on my cube wall at work. Got to take one down from over the weekend, Old Specked Hen. An English ale that actually tasted better (to me at least) as it warmed a bit from the fridge. My poolside drink of choice is a light beer, and while Corona isn't anything to write home about, Landshark is better.

As far as wine goes, is it manly? Who's to say? However, I don't drink wine unless it's red, and the drier the better.

You know what makes a man's drink? A man who will stand behind his drink, no matter what he's drinking.

My ancestral roots dictate that I must like rum...so I do

I honeymooned there, amazing place. Everyone is so friendly. You really won't find a not-fun thing to do on the entire island.

Great to hear. One of closest friends honeymooned there and pretty much said the same thing. Including you, I've actual heard that from about half a dozen people now. No one has had a bad thing to say about the place, so I'm pretty happy with our choice. We almost did Turks & Caicos, but I worked out a sweeter deal with Aruba- significantly cheaper despite better accommodations.

Hey, guys. Just thought I'd invite you to a "Guy's night out" thing. We'll probably go shoot some pool, watch MNF, and, uh, have a glass of wine...

A true man's drink is one which is thrown at a woman.

Well, chances are any bar you'd go to to watch a sporting event won't have a glass of red wine worth drinking anyway. Wine has it's place- paired with great food, a quiet night with your woman, reading in your favorite chair, at a cocktail party, etc. I LOVE all kinds of red wine, but I wouldn't be caught dead drinking it while tailgating or at a sports bar.

And all of you on here mocking wine drinkers while advocating frozen drinks in the same breath... well, I laugh.

Once again there's a time and a place for everything. I'm not drinking wine at a sports bar just like I'm not doing keg stands in the middle of a nice italian restaurant.
