So, I work at a bar as a cook while I attend culinary school. One of my friends today tells me to stay tonight as I was about to leave that it's her best friend's birthday and I need to stay to have at least one drink. We do karaoke on the weekend; so I wasn't that keen on staying because I hate really loud karaoke but I stayed, because, fuck it. I intended to only have one drink but I ended up staying all night. So, anyway, on to the point of our story.
I usually drink rum and coke at the bar. I'm a big fan of J&G (Jameson and Gingerale) or Ginger ale and goose. We don't have gingerale at our bar, however. Rum and coke seems to be pretty OK, so that's what I go with at our bar. Tonight, however, as I'm about to get my second drink, my friend's friend (who's birthday it is) says that I need to drink 7&7 (Seagram's 7 Whiskey and 7 up) becuase, actually, Rum and coke is a girly drink and I need to drink something more manly.
So, I ended up drinking 7&7 all night.l like the drink (I think I'm actually genetically predisposed to liking whiskey), but that's not the point. Rum and coke is a girly drink!?!!?!?! WTF. I wouldn't have paid it any heed if it was actually a guy telling me that it was girly, but this was a girl telling me my drink was too girly. I started to doubt myself.
So here's a poll.
Poll: Is Rum and Coke a girly drink?!Fuck No! (64) 75% Fuck yeah it is! The only thing missing is an umbrella. (14) 16% Kinda (7) 8% 85 total votes Your vote: Is Rum and Coke a girly drink?! (Vote): Fuck yeah it is! The only thing missing is an umbrella.
(Vote): Fuck No!
(Vote): Kinda
I don't think it's that girly, but I had to man mode it up. TO be honest though I probably would have doubted myself if she said straight scotch with no ice was girly at that point though.
Fun bonus poll
Poll: WHAT do you drink at the barSomething else (35) 55% Vodka and Soda (9) 14% Whiskey and soda (8) 13% Rum and Soda (8) 13% Apple-Tini's (LADIES) (4) 6% 64 total votes Your vote: WHAT do you drink at the bar (Vote): Whiskey and soda
(Vote): Rum and Soda
(Vote): Vodka and Soda
(Vote): Something else
(Vote): Apple-Tini's (LADIES)
I might be drunk right now. That's not the point. The point is that I object to rum and coke being called girly, and I apparently don't feel confident because I'm creating a thread on TL to ask other people's opinions. We won at Euchre 2-1 so that's probably points against use because I was too sober.HOLY SHIT, I even spelled Euchre right. FUCK

Those aren't girly drinks, they're just alcoholic drinks. I drink vodka tonic at parties and clubs, but otherwise mostly just beer. I would classify girly drinks as fruity drinks, or anything colourful and bright. Vodka tonic, 7 and 7, rum and coke and similar drinks are kind of in between. If it comes in a normal glass, and it's a normal colour, it's just a normal drink.

lol
Don't worry about whether someone thinks it's girly or not. If you genuinely aren't concerned about judgment, especially on something so inconsequential, it'll make you look good.
|
Well matters.
I drink whisky but i mostly drink it straight. I do have beer but if i'm in the notion of it.
When at home i do drink smirmoff ice, such a nice drink  But i'm not willing to pay for it as it so ridiculously expensive
|
I work as a cook at a restaurant that has a bar, so I guess that's similar enough. I don't subscribe in any drink being inherently girly or manly. Except vodka and cranberry. So I think it's fine, but there are always those who consider anything other than straight Jameson to not be hairy enough. Personally, I pretty much stick to beer. :/
|
rum and coke is a very sweet drink. but not on the girly side, thats for sure.
|
I think she was just teasing you, honestly.
Personally, I don't find it girly at all, really. =P just be confident in your own preferences.
|
Who gives a fuck if it's a "girly" drink or not. Drink what tastes good. Alcohol is the same shit regardless of the glass it comes in.
Last time I was drinking a vodka mudshake, my friend asked me why I drink girly drinks. I told him it's because I'm comfortable enough with how big my dick is.
Drinking gross shit because it's gross shit makes as much sense as breaking your hand punching a brick wall to prove how manly you are.

WOAH, I wasn't talking about dicks at all. You just brought this to a weird place. And lets be honest, punching a brick wall is pretty manly

Man, fuck it. Drink whatever you want.
I hate beer and I hate straight alcohol. I can lick a marker or drink Peroxide and still feel equally repulsed (ok, maybe more).
When you order a girly drink (we're talking cocktails), you order the girliest one and ask for extra damn cherries. Yesterday I had two drinks and they were blue and one had coconut juice in it. I asked for extra cherries and stuff on it. They made it sour and taste like Kool-Aid. I drank them both in this plastic martini and tomorrow I'll post the pic for you.
I love Smirnoff Ice because it tastes like a stronger Sprite and I like Midori with Sprite and Lime juice.
I'm sure you're living your life not by stereotypes or decision that assert your masculinity, don't go out of your way to make sure people know you're a man. Just flash your dick to remind them who's alpha if there's any doubt.

You should probably just stay home.

Rum and coke is not girly. It's modern grog, the drink of pirates, and pirates are sure as hell not girly. (Okay, maybe if they're played by Johnny Depp. But not even then, because Johnny fucking Depp.)
A "girly" drink to me would be more along the mudslides, appletinis, Zima or similar crap, wine, wine coolers, excessively fruity concoctions, something that is sweet, bright colors, and in which you can't taste the alcohol.
Also, for "other" answer I gave with regards to what I normally drink - a dark beer, the aforementioned rum & coke, Jaeger, various and sundry whiskeys. (Whiskey is, of course, the manliest of the manly. Just look at the GD studio for confirmation.)

come on guys, at least he's not drinking vodka cruisers.
as someone mentioned before, the most girliest mixer drink is probably a vodka and cranberry. but i'd always get that shit if i was with a chick.
my personal drink of choice is usually a jack and coke, though.

If rum and coke were girl's drink then Julian wouldn't be drinking it 24/7.

Sounds like she's fucking with you man.
7&7s are great too though.
|
a tip for you all out there: jäger red bull is the best combo.
You don't have to thank me.
|
The only things I would call girly are beverages with less than 5% alcohol in them and more than 20% sugar (unfermented, cus beer is not girly).
Then again, the whole concept of girly is just... strange. I don't know any girl who drinks that shit :>

This exactly. She was trying to get you drunker, but you missed the tease xD

It's only girly if you used Diet Coke.

How the fuck Cuba Libre aka Rum & Coke is girly drink? That's my fav drink since like ever ;
|
Hey if you enjoy the drink who cares :D
|
I can't take vodka without mixing juice. Cant drink sake unless its fruit flavored
Dont think I cant take any hard liquor straight up, haven't developed taste for wine either.
|
Rum and Coke isn't a girly drink, but it shouldn't matter anyway if you're secure enough in your masculinity. Drink something because you like it, not because you think it makes you look manly.
Long Island Iced Tea FTW.
|
Lose the non alcoholic filler you ninny
|
colorful, fruity or done with diet soda = girly.
|
Why would you believe her?
|
Who cares? If you're worried about drinking girly drinks you need to grow some fucking balls

Something like this.
And no Rum & Coke isn't a girly drink.
|
I agree with everyone who said just drink what you like.
When I am out a nice bar, I will order a crown on the rocks, or a bombay saphire gibson. If I am at regular run of the mill bar, I will usually just get a beer.
|
rum + coke = manly
coke + rum = girly
|
Rum and coke girly? Then what do you call those strawberry margaritas that even I fall for during my darkest hour? When you order that, the bartender serves it in the most faggy glass imaginable.
|
While I can handle straight stuff thanks to my highschool college days, if my goal isn't to get fucked up but rather have something to sip on, I usually go for the "girly" drinks. Then again I don't much care for the taste of any kind of alcohol, but rather usually only drink to celebrate shit with family/friends.
I guess it goes down like this:
With family and need something to sip on:Girly Fruit Drink
Out with buddies:SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS!
Btw Coke and Rum not girly drink...
Coke + Crown = Coke and Rum, and your ass needs to look like the king.
|
I think rum coke is one of the manliest drinks.
that girl was drunk and trying to hit on you.

im more on the beer or wine side tbh... sometimes vodka tonic, mojito or pure pisco

the only non-girly drinks are the ones that girls would never touch because of the pure amount of nerd involved in appreciating such a beverage, aka Hot6 + bear semen + Day9's pit sweat + Soju, do it.

This is where it is quite nice to be 6'2, 240 lbs. I enjoy a nice shot of whisky here and there, but I'll be damned if someone is gonna give me shit for enjoying a delicious cosmopolitan

Lol must be culture thing. Only people who drink Cider in England are either drunks as u can get cheap cider, or guys who look rough xD
Then theres me who find it the only nice tasting alcohol xD

For whatever reason my favorite drink is a nice cold gin & tonic with fresh lime. From what I've heard it's a sailor's drink-- but there's something magical about it IMO. I usually hate gin or tonic on their own but mixed together is amazing. Never heard anyone call it girly though, same for rum & coke.
|
There are manlier drinks, but rum and coke is fine. It's a solid drink that is socially acceptable for literally everyone, as with most other single liquor & soda drinks.

It's a bit different in Nordic countries where a "cider" is basically a soft drink with tons of sugar in it.

the fact that you didnt include beer or hard liquor in the poll pretty much proves you're a pussy
the fact that proves it even more is that you're so insecure about it

Jager is such a brolaf drink .

Cider in Sweden is basically soda, sweet as hell to the point it makes you cringe. Tastes nothing like a Strongbow or similar ones :p

So stuff like Kopparbergs/Rekordelig is 'cider'?

Yeah they're sold as cider atleast in Finland but they're nothing like Magners or Strongbow etc which are actually really good imo.

Rum is the best form of alcohol known to man.
Cheap, mixes well, high proof, not pretentious, doesn't taste like shit.

Don't be sad or feel judged by liking girly drinks; the amazing Day[9] loves them, and (I believe) some other SC2 guys as well. :D
