A question for the male drinkers out there

[ChaoticKraus]

Gin on it's own tasted like fermented sawdust, but with tonic it actually becomes okay. Not a huge fan but i have been known to order one when i feel like doing something different. I'm 19 by the way.

I don't really understand why it would be a womans drink. It's pretty bitter and packs quite the punch. When i think gin and tonic i think men in their 40's on a buisness trip sipping in between discussions at a semi-fancy restuarant.

I am a 18 year old male and drink gin and tonic

My question is simple. Are there any other young (18/21 - 39) males who drink and enjoy a gin and tonic out there, because my friends keep saying that a G&T is camp and exclusively for old women.

I drink gin and tonics, except instead of tonic I use vermouth, and intead of ice and lemon I use an olive.

It is kind of an old ladies drink, but it's not that bad. To be honest though, I think it's an awful tasting drink. Gin and lemonade isn't too bad though.

Is it a girly drink? Yes kind of.

If that's really what you want to drink though you have to determine if its worth a little shame/mild teasing.

I drink it all the time... and as an Officer in the UK military, I can tell you it is a staple drink amongst young males! It has an odd reputation, which doesn't fit it at all! It's a pretty hardcore drink when you think about it... its not sweet, it doesn't come with umbrellas or any straws... hell... it shouldn't even come with a stiring rod (although modern bars are crap, and seem to think they should!) Its a damn good drink! Hell, even the bottles are pretty manly...! A Gordon's or Hendricks bottle is not femanine at all!

For added bonus, use slices of cucumber instead of lemon... its an even better drink!

Shaken, or stirred?

'For the male drinkers'? You mean there are *women* somewhere on the escapist?
Oh hardehar I'm such a wit!

G&T is pretty much for old women/men (my parents drink it often) and I only know of one person around your age who does drink it and he has the look and mentality of a 50 year old man.

But don't give in to peer pressure, drink what you enjoy and break the mold

 

[DoomyMcDoom]

I've had a gin and tonic on one or two occassions, I usually just pound back vodka or spiced rum straight out the bottle... or beer, lot's of beer... So maybe since I rarely mix a drink, I'm not the best person to post an opinion on it. But camp, or for girls? Who the hell do you hang out with?

 

[Gerishnakov]

Real men drink real ale, in the UK at least.

On a more sensible note, I do love real ale, but I am also partial to a G&T or a gin and bitter lemon even. My one other favourite drink is a white Russian.

EDIT: I'm 23 by the way.

20 years old, drink most hard liquors, not one for gin all together and tonic water is just plain nasty. Then again I'm in the same 'mocking' boat as you for not liking beer XD. Basically just get drunk off what gets you drunk in my opinion.

I fucking love G&Ts.

Vodka mixers are definitely for women though.

Its not a girly drink really, but dont worry about it. DRINK ALL THE BOOZE!

Those chocolate mud shakes drinks are nice....

I do what I want, my job gives me all the manly points I need.

edit: btw I totally expected this to be another 'Drunken sex is rape!!!' thread....

Shaken, or stirred?

I normally let the bartender decide. Shaking the martini dilutes it more so most barfolk stir, you normally only shake drink with fruit juices or milk in them. (protip)

 

[LooK iTz Jinjo]

At least you're not drinking lolly water. I usually stick to beer (lager) and scotch/bourbon/whiskey.

 

[royohz]

I haven't tried gin & tonic, but I've heard it's awful. I'm a coeliak, so I can't drink beer (except Corona and Budweiser)

So what you're saying is... you can't drink beer at all? ;D

Ahahaaaaa, I get it. You're funny, that was funny. I'm gonna tell all my friends this one and also about this funny guy on the escapist.

Seriously though, I don't know if they even are beers or if that was just a humorous way of sharing your opinion, but they have pretty much the same awful taste as beer. 'Ave a good one!

21 here and I drink a Gin & Tonic on occasion.

Your friends are idiots! It is a historical drink, not an old ladies drink!
