What Your Drink Says About You
(Category: The Cage )

Sometimes you see that lone person in a bar. They'll be mulling over their drink, or maybe they'll be toying with it seductively, or watching the game, chatting with the barkeep. But we've all seen them, and there are a few that you can mark right off the bat; without ever talking to them, you already know what's going on.

Girl sitting up front, drinking a top shelf apple martini - "I'm spending someone else's money."
Guy sitting up front, drinking a top shelf apple martini - "I'm sucking someone else's dick."
Husky drunk girl next to the tap drinking dollar drafts - "I got kicked out of this bar for knocking a guy's teeth out once."
Husky drunk guy next to the tap drinking dollar drafts - "I stock groceries at Walmart. And my shift starts in half an hour."
Guy, shot of whiskey and a beer, both gone in less than a minute - Probably just robbed a bank.
Gal, surrounded by other gals, drinking Zima or Michelob Ultra - Just turned 21, trying not to ruin her GPA.
Guy, two fingers of single malt on two rocks, not stirring, gently sipping - Needs to take his bottle of Johnny Walker and get a room. This is a bar dammit, not a library.
Gal, cigar, gin and tonic - "If my ex could see me now."
Guy, early fifties, lots of rings, cigar, gin and tonic - "Did I tell you I was All-American back in '76?"

All this talk is making me thirsty. Shank out.

I take umbrage with the two fingers of single malt guy. He's waiting for Jen.

And Johnny Walker's a blend, not a single. A very fine blend.

Gal, drinking Long Island Ice Teas and chain smoking Newports...will be on her back in less than two hours.

I just think that scotch is a backporch, library, hammock, quiet spot sort of drink. Anyone who drinking something of that caliber in a bar filled with smoke, loud music, and pool tables is just trying to get attention.

Woman drinking red wine in the corner... is trying to pretend she's too classy to pick up someone at this sketchy bar.
Dude drinking a Hoegaarden... "No, really, I swear I'm 21! I just left my ID in the car!"

Man, Hoegaarden is the shit though. A buddy and I tried to brew a Belgian white like that once. It actually turned out okay.

20ish guy drinking Stout - trying to pretend how educated he is, also will never get laid.
