What you drink at a bar, says a lot about who you are as a person. It's strange to think about, but it is undeniably true. There is a specific clientele to each brand of alcohol, as well as what type. When I say vodka red bull, the first thing that comes to mind is a frat boy. Bud Light will always make me think of blue collar workers and country music. Red wine makes me think ‘mother of two’.

The good news is that there are some options that you can partake in while staying true to your new diet.

We love to unwind on weekends with a nice cocktail at a bar somewhere. I'm an alcohol lightweight with an easy tendency to develop Asian flush, hence my go-to cocktail is a "weak" aperol spritz. To be honest, I'm more interested in getting a nice Instagram shot than what is actually inside the drink.

When I began drinking vodka, I didn't agree with the taste very well. Perhaps due to my lack of alcohol knowledge at a young age, but the taste was rough and the after taste was awful. I didn't care if you mix it with orange juice, kool-aid, punch, or soda - I was not a fan of vodka!

5 Reasons My First Attempt at Quitting Drinking Failed
5 Reasons My First Attempt at Quitting Drinking Failed On January 1st, 2016, I decided my New Year’s resolution was going to be to quit drinking. Nothing bad happened the night before. I just found myself drinking more than I normally did (being it was NYE) and noticing that it wasn’t really adding to the experience. If anything, actually, it took away from it. I wasn’t as present for my kids as I could have been and I feel asleep before it was even midnight because of all the wine and champagne I drank. I thought back to when I was in high school and overall did not drink much and was perfectly happy. I wanted to go back to feeling like that. If your track record with New Year’s resolutions is anything like mine has been, then I probably don’t have to tell you that this one didn’t last. I made it to mid-April, so about 3 and a half months. I eventually ended up stopping again in late 2017 and when I did, a book I read said that if you have not been successful with quitting drinking in the past, it is because you have not had the right tools.

But they always decide not to get so drunk the next day when the hangover hits them hard on their bodies. Innumerable glasses of water and multiple rounds of lemonades too fail to create the magic of getting them ready for yet another round of partying. ‘A weekend without a drink is a weekend wasted’ is what the ‘Party Gurus’ exclaim with their party pals. But a sloshy morning and a gloomy mood call for something effective. Effective like Bloody Mary.
Samara RobinsonPublished 4 years ago in ProofWhat Your Favourite Spirit Says About You
Sometimes, when it comes to alcoholic beverages, you crave something that’s a little lighter than a lager, ale, or cider ("hard cider," if you’re American). Thankfully, that’s where spirits come in. Either drink them neat like a little daredevil, or mix them with your favourite soft drink ("soda," if you’re American), and they’re perfect on a night out, with a meal, or just when you’re relaxing at home. So what does your favourite spirit tell you about what you’re like as a person? Let’s find out.
