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.

Wine is most definitely female and most definitely a bitch. Especially the morning after drinking two bottles the night before.

Wine and I have a very acrimonious relationship. Heaven forbid you have red and white in the same night. She's why I prefer champagne.
