Gin is a harsh drink.

I've actually heard the opposite, from bartenders -- gin drinkers are the dangerous ones.

A new study by an LGBT-focused marketing firm finds that gay men love gin more than anyone else, lesbians love their tequila, and gays and lesbians together consume the lion’s share of our nation’s vodka supply.

I've never met an American male Anglophile who wasn't gay or bi.

My neighbor owns a racing green Mini and a Range Rover, he is married but must be secretly gay or bi.

Please try to be less stupid, OP.

You do not understand statistics.

In a recent survey 25 percent of the gay respondents stated that Gin is their preferred liquor, while only 10 percent of the surveyed straight men named Gin.

That doesn’t mean all gay men like Gin. That doesn’t mean anyone who drinks Gin is gay.
But it means that there is a higher probability that if you prefer Gin, you are gay.

So there *is* data to back this up?! Incredible.

Also not a thing.

Yeah, because no real man would order one.

Interesting. Do most men change their go-to drink depending on the season? That seems like a female trait.

To be fair, there are a lot of low testosterone dandies running around.

Gin and tonic to me is a summer drink.

For this guy, a gin and tonic can be hard to top depending on the occasion. Pretty perfect if you’re in London, or somewhere tropical and hot, and enjoying a good time with good company. Whereas if you’re with those same friend but in some place cozy in the middle of winter, then you might like an old fashioned. Now you couldn’t pay me to drink a martini - but I’m happily married to someone who loves them, and the drier and dirtier the better. Regardless, I can’t see looking down my nose at anyone who’s enjoying a cocktail, especially one that’s been around since the 1800s and was invented to fight malaria. Find someone or something else to judge.

How odd. I know lots. Liking English architecture, art, literature, music, etc. isn't gay. It's typically just part of a good education.

Boozing in general has become ick. Really jumped the shark when detestable male celebs like Ryan Reynolds, Diddy and George Clooney started endorsing spirits and closeted homosexual GOP grifters started recording podcasts sipping bourbon and smoking cigars.

The good news is they’re out there. The bad news is they are all heavily into obscure 1970s science fiction television.
