We like to say ‘Give me coffee to change the things I can and wine to accept those that I cannot.’ Your choice of alcohol to drink often speaks louder in more ways than one. Yes, apparently, you can tell what sort of person you are by the alcoholic drinks you favour! Folklore holds that what you drink might reveal who you are. For instance, whiskey drinkers are perceived as confident; shots denote danger. Additionally, beer drinkers know how to unwind. Is any of this accurate, though? Can your preferred beverage reveal something about you? Surprisingly, a recent study directed by psychologist Peter K. Jonason claims that we can, in fact, learn something about a person’s personality by studying not just what they drink but also where they choose to drink. Let’s talk about your favourite alcoholic beverages and personalities now! Follow through the types of alcoholic drinks and find out what is your type:
Brandy- Calmly seated with brandy in hand. Whether you’re sipping brandy, cognac, or Armagnac, the reality remains that you don’t mind being seen. Even while you may not actively want attention, there is something about you (you might be a well-known rapper, for instance) that attracts attention. You prefer to remain calmly seated in the corner while sipping brandy; you are the social sage who only talks when absolutely required. Whiskey is for the confident. The drink for the confident is whiskey. Your favourite pastime is entertaining others with stories from your life, and you don’t consider happiness a temporary high. Remember that there is a thin line between confidence and overconfidence while you’re downing your seventh personalised alcohol and that driving that car is probably not a good idea. Tequila- The floor is your domain. Simply put together, you live in the moment. Every success or failure in life calls for celebration, and for you, nothing makes a better centrepiece at the bar table than a tray of shots (lime slices and salt are optional). Particularly during the hour of the night when the dance floor becomes your domain, you feel at ease being the centre of attention. You interpret “You can dance” as an order when your drink says it.
Scotch- You actually know the difference between Scotch and Whiskey. You are more of a slow drinker who enjoys the finer aspects of life. You promise to never drink straight from the bottle (the horror), and you prefer to say one wise word rather than talk all night. Even when people criticise you for being arrogant for knowing the distinction between whiskey and scotch, you take a sip in silence and let your appearance speak for itself. Absinthe- The naturally creative ones. You’re constantly searching for your next muse. You tend to keep to yourself and only hang out with those that share your interests. Being naturally creative, you look for inspiration wherever you go, so you rarely leave home without a musical instrument, sketchbook, or notebook. You simply want to produce something that might inspire others and you, too—not something that will make you the next famous writer or artist of your generation. Margarita drinkers can start a conversation with anyone. Drinkers of margaritas can be divided into two groups: those who drink frozen and those who drink them on the rocks with lime. If you frequently order a frozen margarita, enjoy dancing, and aren’t embarrassed by your love of garish party decorations. You can hang out with the best of them if you prefer your margarita on the rocks. You’ll start a conversation with anyone and love leaving your group to meet new friends.
Champagne lovers are ravishing. Your life is, in a word: ravishing. For most, champagne is a celebratory drink. It doesn’t require an occasion for you because life is grand, and every day should be treated as such. You have a magnificent (and very expensive) taste. You give very precise answers but express your opinions eloquently. Vodka drinkers are the life of the party. Drinkers of vodka jump right into the action. They don’t mess around when it comes to having fun. They always beg for the music to be turned up towards the end of the evening. They will be purchasing rounds of shots for everyone. It’s more important to be able to track your progress than it is to love the flavour of this drink. Vodka cranberry drinkers, according to Brown, “simply like to be able to see how much is left in the glass.” Wine drinkers are super social. According to reports, those who drink wine frequently reveal some secrets—either their own or those of others. Wine drinkers adore a good story, whether they admit it or not. With a glass of Pinot in hand, their daring level soars, and neither a query about a personal matter nor a statement that is too risqué is off limits.
Classic gin martini drinkers are traditionalists. Drinkers of traditional gin martinis are, by nature, traditionalists. Except those who are typically very entertaining at parties don’t particularly appreciate it when people order filthy martinis. Gin martini drinkers are seasoned connoisseurs who know how to hold their liquor. According to Brown, an undoubtedly biased source, classic gin martini drinkers are also highly enigmatic, intelligent, and have a knack for grabbing your attention.
