Most "girly" drinks I've had are way too sweet. Flavored vodka in particular is gross to me.
Also, my dad thinks that gin and tonic is a girl's drink. I guess I'm a girly girl then.
I personally don't care what anyone drinks, though.
[QUOTE=Akasori;46142261]I've heard a lot of good about this but I still haven't tried it because of the branding (even though I like Iron Maiden). Perhaps I'll finally try it tomorrow.[/QUOTE]
It's brilliant. I thought it was limited edition, but it's actually a thing.

Gin and Tonic's an old school soldier's drink.
There are sooo many "manly" drinks that aren't beer.
Martinis, and generally most gin drinks.
Old Fashioned
Negroni
Whiskey Sour

Yell at your dad. It's an army drink.
There's nothing wrong with something bitter now and then. Can't be only having something sweet, or sour, or salty, etc. you gotta mix it up and enjoy all the different flavors of life.
There is no such thing as girly or manly drinks though.
Whenever I think of terrible drinks, I remember that kvass is a drink that people somehow enjoy.
And somehow, drinking beer aka flavored water is more manly than drinking something twice as strong. yo get on my level before you call my drinks girly...
I can tell you for a fact that, as a man who brews his own beers, wines, and meads, NOTHING beats a good strawberry daiquiri now and then. If someone actually gives a fuck what you're drinking just give em a good welcome fist. That and when I drink it spikes from moderately buzzed to I'm going to bed fuck it with no warning. There is no being actually drunk for me. It's either buzzed or tired. There's a lot of drinking I have to do to get past the buzz, so why the fuck should I drink nasty tasting shit if it isn't going to even get me drunk enough to not care about drinking nasty tasting shit?
Fun story, I was drinking a peach daiquiri at a party once, and this fucking chav rolls into the kitchen, and I'm standing here having a conversation with some friends who just happen to all be girls. This drunk asshat just walks up to us, proceeds to go between staring into my eyes and at the drink in my hand and calls me a "little fag bitch" because I "didn't drink beer like a real man" and he so graciously invited all my female friends to go hang with him and his friends who were "real men". Solution? I put the drink down, grabbed a bottle of vodka and told him we were going to drink to settle the score. After I poured us each about a half a cup of straight vodka, we both drank and about ten seconds later he was between puking off the host's porch and drinking copious amounts of water to try to make the burning stop. I was still sitting in the kitchen enjoying the party.

This liquid SHIT. HORSE. SHIT.
It's DISGUSTING. It costs 0.5€ for an .5L can, and even with the price in mind it's HORRIBLE. Literal PISS. I didn't even find any information about it! It's like a mystery drink produced in a Lidl-owned septic-tank-turned-basement in Poland, hell bent to create an absolutely bitter, worthless drink whose only saving grace is that the poorest peasants of the country can afford buying a 24-pack?!
How can people stoop so low! There are many great beers brewed or imported that they can buy for a slightly higher price, but instead they opt in for this orwellian-branded warehouse-stocked pisswater! I'd choke myself if the disgusting liquid wasn't doing it for me![/QUOTE]
All beer costs 0.5 eur here
[QUOTE=MachiniOs;46142398]The one issue I have with the imported craft beer here is that you guys have a serious hops fetish. Seriously I went to Brew Dog when they had quite a few american beers in and of 5 three were described as "very hoppy". I'm not a fucking rabbit lads.[/QUOTE]
Some do, but there are plenty who don't. Victory, for instance, makes some too hoppy beers and some not hoppy at all beers. Just takes some looking around.
how can a drink be gender specific?
Some drinks do have a reputation though, like WKD. You think girls, under-aged chavs and prats. Actually that's the joke: WKD (Women, Kids and Dickheads)
I generally don't judge a man on what he drinks, but it's a good indicator as to what he's going to be like as the night goes on.
The only pub I regularly go to is Hobbit/LotR themed and all the drinks in there are pints of cocktails named after characters.
I love it because I can drink pints but pints of nice shit.
[QUOTE=J!NX;46138163]I hear everyone call american beer "basically water", but I'm sure compared to other drinks everywhere else it's true.
wouldn't that make beer a girly drink?[/QUOTE]
idk m8 ive been in europe now for a month and had bavarian beer and microbrewed beer around the netherlands and a ton of belgian beers and it doesn't actually compare to anything ive gotten out of the us. most europeans ive met can only name fuckin bud light (which is german now fuck you) or miller which are a complete joke and dont even remotely comprise what american beer is.
beer here is fucking weak, i've not found a single beer over 7.5%, and they cost a fortune
there's like a million goddamn breweries in the us that regularly produce stuff well over 9, 10, 12% in delicious IPAs porters and stouts and all. i can go into nearly any bar in the northeast and find at least 6-7 solid microbrewed beers on tap alongside your general mass produced keg beers.
if you want to drink something sweet without feeling emasculated, there's always cider
[QUOTE=Elspin;46138130]It's kinda true about "man's man" attitudes in general, you're basically praised for doing stupid shit like hurting yourself doing dangerous things and drinking/eating things that are just disgusting.

imagine thinking that vodka actually tastes better than beer
the point of vodka is to taste like nothing, and when it doesnt taste like nothing it tastes like watered down gasoline.

Very yes
Rekorderlig cider is the best cider, by the way[/QUOTE]
it's sad to me that people actually think Guinness is a good stout. so many better ones out there, nearly any jo shcmo microbrew will be better than guinness, especially the canned garbage

While you're in europe, sample some flavoured polish vodka.
Vodka is by no means always meant to taste like "nothing".

Vodka tastes like fucking gasoline
My nan makes about 50 gallons of 10% vol homebrew cider every year, and some years it is fuckin raancid. I've learned to chug just about anything. A beer is pretty nice compared to some drinks.
I drank a locally brewed imperial style pumpkin ale last weekend. Boy was I surprised when the label said 9%. It was god damn tasty
[QUOTE=Faren;46139214]Beer's an acquired taste, you don't go around bitching about how shitty coffee tastes because it's too bitter, you try different kinds of coffee, get used to the bitterness and then start to appreciate the different kinds.

I couldn't have said this better. I used to absolutely hate beer but then over time I drank enough of it to where I can be like I'm thirsty I think I'll have a nice cold beer to cool down

or to where I can dust off a 24 with a buddy and enjoy every moment of it.
[QUOTE=sparky28000;46141560]I love kriek but if you drink too much of it you'll get sick of the taste pretty quickly.[/QUOTE]
Well I don't have to worry about that since it's damn near impossible to find where I live. Only found out about it due to a sampler pack my liquor store was carrying that included 9 other Belgian beers and as far as I know it's the only way to get it locally.

rich coming from brewdog though, everything they have is pure hops
Even most american craft IPA s I've had aren't super hoppy, they're definitely Hoppy don't get me wrong, but not like liquid pine needle tea. There are some, but most are just a bit bitter.
What about Chilean drinks? This shit right here

IPA is really popular in the US and Canada
Went to a craft beer pub last night that had around 140 local and minor import beers, and about 40 of them must have been IPA, at least twice as many brands as any other beer catergory.

I found most of the beers in the UK to be vile (too many cask ales and cask-style ales), but I was very impressed with Brewdog and Skye Ales. Brewdog especially is doing some mad scientist shit with their 40% beers. I feel like Brewdog is a canadian brewery that somehow got lost and wound up in aberdeen
If I'm out and about I'll pretty much drink whatever the situation calls for since cocktails and sweeter drinks are more of a social thing for me. And at the house I like to keep stuff that I can drink and enjoy at my own pace without having to worry about the whole bottle going bad from sitting because I don't drink enough of it, so that'd mean I'd have to go out and socialize more often if I want stuff like wine or cognac that isn't stale.
I've been liking whiskey for this purpose since I can concentrate and really try to taste it (which I feel would be easier to do at my own house anyway), then just tuck it away at room temp when I'm done sipping. I find it's much easier to point out its flavors in cocktails after doing this, too - so you can appreciate it more. Sake is also pretty cool since it stores better when opened than wine and can be served at anywhere between "hot drink" and "fridge cold" temperatures and that same sake will taste totally different (the better sakes are mostly served colder though). It's pretty nice to have a heated swig of the stuff at night or cold to settle down.
I am kind of wanting to dip my feet a bit more into different beers though, it'd be a nice thing to have every once in a while and I've had a sampler of Belgian sour beers which had me wanting to try more.
[QUOTE=Hidole555;46139107]forget both of those and go with chocolate milk, the true drink of the enlightened[/QUOTE]
Me and my friend had a holy moment just yesterday.
Get chocolate milk. Get Coca Cola. 50% of each, it's fucking delicious, it's basically a spider(or ice cream float for the rest of the world).
