The gender of liquor or why Whiskey is a man but vodka is just vodka.

[hackthis_archive]

serialkarma and I have been relaying our experiences with whiskey to issaro, who is somewhat confused as to why we continually refer to whiskey as 'he', like it's a person. To which we say it's not about the gender, but because whiskey has personality. Because drinking whiskey is a relationship. And because you don't just drink you whiskey, you experience it. It does shit to you. Just ask all those singers and songwriters.

To these ends I've been asked to post this poll, because I reckon I'm not the only person who has a whole genre on her iPod called 'Drinking'. So.

Here, I will tell you in comments about why you should never drink XXX ...

Blue Moon (with the orange slice) is such the summertime beer for me now, though I love it so much that I drink it with delight outside, in freezing temperatures just for laughs.

Also, Stella has a HUGE following in town among the hipster set. It's cute. We, of course, still bleed PBR.

(two to try if you ever decide, Sweetwater and the Purple Haze by Abita --because purple beer rocks, and there's nothing quite so smooth)

Stella. Just the name makes you feel classy.

Purple beer, huh? *makes note to self*

Classy, yet Stella will fuck you up. Or, at least me.
