lizann

So when i go out i drink everything but what is the best drink for females???

LadyJ

How do you mean?

Surely the best drink for anyone is just whatever they like the most.

What is the appropriate/acceptable drink that females should drink?

I'm think pints and downing shots are not that good

justsomebloke

well if you drink pints you have as much chance at looking classy as Katie Price.


ok i'd give a serious answer but I have no idea what you are on about. So please explain more

edit: just saw you posted while I posted and your response still doesn't really make sense. Is this from a health point of view or purly aesthetic

LadyJ

What do you mean by appropriate though? I drink pints and shots all the time.....

Everyone is different so I would go with what each individual likes and what they can handle.

Not sure what you mean by appropriate/acceptable surely its up to each person what they like to drink. The situation would influence what I drink I tend to drink bottles if out dancing as I wouldn't like to be carrying pints around. When we go to the pub after work it would be a pint or a pot of tea. If its a night out and the bar has a good rep for cocktails I'd try them. I don't like wine so I don't drink it. All my friends both female and male have different prefences when it comes to drink.

Niamho!

well i personally Drink your Typical "Girly" fizzy crap and Vodka. ooh and Malibu.

the only thing i Drink in a pint glass the odd time is Bulmers.
i wish i could do shots....Bbblleeuurrgghhh!!!

Whatever tastes good. If I want to drink a pint, by **** I'm going to drink a pint.

I know a lot of men who think a woman drinking a pint of Guiness is very sexy. I have no idea why.

I'm a whiskey and diet coke girl myself.

I think a woman with a pint in her hand is just simply wrong. Shots well apart from the price of the dam things, I think women in general need to rethink..........that one as we shoud have some dignity when we are out on the town. I know many (prob 98%) will not agree with me!
Bring back the old days!

I'll drink what I want, when I want, in whatever I want - pint, glass, shot.

Anyone who says it's 'not sexy' or 'not suitable for a woman' needs to take a long look at themselves and their attitudes. Its a drink.

Water is a drink, I think you miss the point that it is more than just a "drink". If one drinks 12 glasses of water it has no affect on the brain whereas 12 drinks with alcohol is a totally different ball game. I think your the one that needs to have a long look at yourself and your attiude. Can you (or any female) really look after yourself after a few drinks? That is the question that you may not be able to give an honest answer too.

WTF? A troll I presume? Oh and there's more of it. We're actually talking about types of drink - not levels of drunkenness. Having a few drinks as you put it is having three or four drinks, not 12. And Silverfish's attitude? What attitude? I'm a female and yes, I can look after myself after a few drinks... Nope, no dishonesty there.

OP, why on earth do you think there's an "appropriate" and an "inappropriate" type of drink for females? I've to be careful how I word this or other posters will accuse me of going all femi-nazi... actually no, I don't think there'd be any objections if I politely (not maliciously, mind) suggested to you to just think for yourself, drink what you want to drink, and stop puzzling over how you behave and how others perceive you just because you happen to have a vagina.

Having a pint is dignified, having 12 bottles of WKD (a "girlie" drink) and being carried out by the bouncer with puke dribbling out of your mouth is undignified. And vice versa.

I'm a failure as a woman. ;_;

I didn't say anything about the amount I drink. I don't drink a lot.

You are saying I shouldn't have a pint glass in my hand. That, in my opinion, is your issue, not mine. Sorry, but I drink guinness, and that does not taste the same in a glass. I will not change what I drink for appearances.... especially to satisfy what other people think.

Ok, I see from other posts of yours that you're only a teenager. Here are some points worth noting which you'll hopefully come to terms with as you get older:

"Lady-like" is subjective - a girl wearing baggy pants and a hoodie and drinking a pint of Guinness might look a lot less ladylike than a girl wearing a pastel dress and strappy shoes and drinking a vodka and orange. But at the end of the night, it could be the girl in the dress who's passed out on the footpath with her face in a pool of vomit, or getting thrown out for bottling someone.

"Lady-like" is a very dated term - come on, it's 2008.

First appearances do not always say anything, never mind "a lot".

It generally does not matter what other people think of you (especially strangers). Worrying about same is usually futile.

annie19

Usually ppl meet new ppl on a night out. even a drink with few work mates.....thats just my feelings on the issue....you dont have to agree with a dosy cow like me

Still don't see what that has to do with drinking pints.

Also the drinks that come in pints usually have a lower alcohol content then the so called "girly" drinks like vodka and coke/orange etc.

Dudess

I drink vodka and diet Coke - try not to binge on it but I can get bloody ****faced sometimes. My mates all drink beer and don't end up half as messy as I sometimes do.

Baudelaire

I drink pints all the time when I'm out and don't think there's anythink un-ladylike about it, those ideas are so outdated it's laughable that people still subscribe to them :rolleyes: "Girly drink" my fanny adams, I'll drink what I like especially if I'm paying for it!

Dudess

The only reason I don't drink beer is cos I've a yeast allergy.

Rozabeez

If someone I met on a night out was narrow-minded enough to be dismissive of me because of whatever I was drinking, then I don't think I'd be too pushed about making an impression.

I think this ladylike stuff is bullcrap but I would think less of someone who would base an impression of a person on their choice of glassware.

Women should ditch the diet mixers, without the sugar you get drunk quicker. Apparently.

I rarely drink but when I do it'd be Kopparburg, something nice and sweet that doesn't have a high volume of alcohol, I'm the first to admit I'm a lightweight! Three pints and I'm happy out!

the mixed berries koppaberg is 5.5% - more than most beers & alcopops.

LivingDeadGirl

I drink the Pear one, it's either 4% or 4.5%, can't remember, mixed berry one is horrible imo.

Haha Dudess just saw your post!

Ah but you're only a pup! When I was your age (ew, that sounds ancient!) three cans of cider and I'd be nearly comatose.

yeah the berries 1 is horrible. i like the apple & pear, but could only have 1 or 2, too sweet to be drinking pint after pint of it.

& yes i drink it in a pint glass! how manly of me

LivingDeadGirl

+ 1 for the pint glass

btw I think the Mojito is every girls best friend.

I'm 100% in agreement with LadyJ - whatever the hell you like to drink. I drink whiskey, normally neat, otherwise with ice/water/lemonade. I also like sipping tequila, but when you ask for a tequila people always assume you want a shot. I enjoy Kopparberg, used to drink Bulmers but it tears my stomach to shreds. I can't drink beer, because anyone standing too close will be wearing it within minutes of me finishing half a glass (never mind a pint!), it's probably the only drink that makes me vomit. I like some cocktails, I occasionally like bicardi (not breezers) or vodka. Malibu, peach schnapps etc. are overly sweet imho, so I usually avoid them.

I don't see how any of the above dictates whether I'm a "laydee" or not. Maybe I should grow a moustache and carry a parasol, just to clear the situation up.

I used to drink pints of Smithwicks. It was all I drank for years. If there was a night that passed without somebody making a comment I dont remember it.

Guinness drinking ladies are just wonderful. No argument Not biased at all by the fact that I used to drink Guinness (don't drink for the time being and it's the only drink I sometimes miss).

the dee

You can drink whatever you want whenever you want. It doesn't matter what you drink. It only matters how much you drink. If you're worried about how you look then don't get sh*t-faced. There's nothing more unattractive than a staggering, drooling, votmitting drunk - whether they be male or female.

On a side note - I'm a bacardi or white wine lady. Just can't stand beer, wish I could cos it's so much cheaper!

Yeah cos obviously if she is out in a pub drinking a pint she has escaped from the kitchen sink...

I would generally drink pints if im out but that because they're cheaper and sit better in my stomach.id mix in a few alcopops but they get sickeningly sweet
