How to
Lose A Girl
in 5 Drinks
Large Brews
What’s the sense in ordering a half-liter of beer when your date is sipping her 12 oz. brew? Skip the 750ml. of Duvel and the liter of Hofbrauhaus. You’ll look like an alcoholic.
Experimental Drinks
You know that drink you’ve wanted to try? Don’t. Stuff like Newcastle Brown Ale belong in the trash. No girl likes the “nasty beer face” and it’s unlikely they’re turned on by bad aftertaste.
Lose A Guy
in 5 Drinks Shots
Shots on a date can only indicate you are not entertained by your date and need to get drunk quick. Shots scream that the drinker is only on the date for a little post-date action.
Sex on the Beach
Stay away from the slutty named drinks, it gives off the wrong impression...unless slutty is the impression that you’re going for.
The “Special”
Beer
The Fancy Drinks
Bloody Mary
Don’t just go with the nightly beer special. You won’t stand out to this girl if you’re slamming Natty Ice or BudLights.
Don’t get a fancier drink than your date. Don’t trump her beer with your Manhattan and definitely don’t try to order wine at a bar to look sophisticated.
It’s always a neutral ground. However, burping like a truck driver is not sexy, so be sure to keep the hops in check.
Talking religion on a date is a total downer – right?
A Fruit Martini
The Fruity Drinks
Similarly, you will not succeed if you answer her gin and tonic with an Appletini or aim to “take it easy” with a wine cooler.
It says ‘I’m easy,’ so opt for a Dirty Martini – it’s sophisticated. That, and you don’t get fruit punch lips. Caution: if you select the fruit martini skip the extra fruit added into your drink. It could come off as high maintenance or being picky.
