 A recent magazine survey, interviewed fifty bartenders and they were asked if they could identify a customer's personality on what drinks they ordered. Although interviewed separately, they concurred on almost all counts. The results:
If Women Drink... Beer. Personality: Casual, low maintenance; down to earth. Approach: Challenge her to a game of pool.
Cocktails or Blender drinks with umbrella. Personality: Flaky, annoying, dizzy, and a pain in the a**e. Approach: Avoid her, unless you want to be her cabin boy.
Mixed drinks - no umbrellas e.g.; Scotch and soda. Personality: Mature, has picky taste; knows what she wants Approach: If she wants you, she'll send YOU a drink.
Water. Personality: Pretentious and is looking for a serious relationship. Approach: Don't.
Wine - (bottled, not 4 liter cask). Personality: Conservative and classy, sophisticated. Approach: Try and weave Paris and clothing into the conversation.
Bacardi Breezer, Red Square, Archers Cooler, Smirnoff Ice, etc. Personality: Easy; thinks she is trendy and sophisticated actually has absolutely no clue. Approach: Make her feel smarter than she is... and you're in.
Cape Velvet. Personality: Annoying voice, bit of a tart. Approach: Stand close and mention the alley next to the pub.
Shots and Slammers (Tequila, Vodka, Aftershock etc.) Personality: Hangs around with male work pals or looking to get drunk and naked. Approach: Easiest hit in the pub. Nothing to do but wait.
If Men Drink...
 (As always, very simple and clear cut) Cider: He's probably under-aged and wants sex. Cheap Domestic Beer: He's poor, a student and wants sex. Premium Local Beer: He likes good beer and wants sex. Imported Beer: He's old; he likes good beer and wants sex. Guinness: The man is a closet rapist and will get sex one way or another. Water: He just threw up and is trying to wash the taste out of his mouth so that he can still get sex. Wine: He's hoping that the wine thing will give him a sophisticated image and help him get sex. Vodka or Brandy: Extremely horny hound, would shag a warm scarf. Desperate to get sex. Port: Thinks he's sophisticated, secretly likes men and wants to get sex. Whisky: He doesn't give two shits about anything and will hit anyone who will get in his way of getting sex. Jack Daniels: Not as masculine as the whisky drinker, knows all about feminine activities (knitting, crochet etc.) to weasel himself into getting sex. Rum or Tequila: Likes fighting almost as much as getting sex. Bacardi Breezer, Red Square, Archers Cooler, Smirnoff Ice, etc: He's gay (blatantly) - don't turn your back or pick up any dropped change.
