Once I was at a hotel bar with colleagues and we were hanging out in some lounge area. The waitress asked if we wanted drinks, so I ordered a margarita.

Then they made fun of me for it. Like, what the hell does it matter what drink I have.

When I was younger I've definitely made fun of friends who order "girly" drinks, and have in turn been made fun of when I do it. It's pretty standard among males in my generation (X) and older. Usually happens when everyone else in your group is ordering "manly" drinks like beer or hard liquor.

It doesn't even have to be something like a cosmopolitan, it could be a gin & tonic, or rum and coke. If they're all drinking bourbon on the rocks and you order something even slightly less strong, you're going to hear about it.

Then there's the times where the first guy orders a beer, then the next guy has to trump him with a run and coke, then the next guy gets a whiskey on the rocks, so then it gets one upped with a whiskey neat. Next thing you know we're smoking crack in the alley. Just kidding about that last one, but you get the idea. We thought we were being macho, but we were idiots in our early 20s, so shrug

If Margaritas are gay, who wants to be straight?

[-] M600@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

Margaritas and Champaign are the two drinks I can’t stop drinking once I start.

They are just too good, I love the carbonation of Champaign. I’d drink cheap Champaign all day.

Have you already been drinking? Champagne is the drink, Champaign is a town in Illinois.

I know what I said… so please issue an evacuation.

It’s only called champaign if it is the champagne region of France. Otherwise is a sparkling city.

I know the exit.
