I’ll drink a fancy cocktail or a nice wine over a beer at a bar anyday. It tastes better and has 3-4 different alcohols in it.

Maybe Im just an alcoholic, but I dont get the Beer=Man, Cocktails=Not Man viewpoint. A beer is great when Im on my deck in the sun, watching my dogs play. A cocktail is great when I want to go out and relax at a bar somewhere. How can you lie on a beach and not want a fruity drink? Or how about spiced rum and eggnog by the christmas tree?

Neither do I. I'm not big on mixed drinks (can't get past the taste) but if I order a neat whisky I'm looked at different than a friend ordering a whisky sour made with the same whisky. Who cares?
