Gin is a harsh drink.

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


When I think of gin drinkers I think of men like my FIL - preppy boomer, smart, witty and gregarious. I guess it depends on your social circle and geography.

I doubt white trash dangerous drunks are buying $50 bottles of Hendrick’s.


LOL that you seem to think preppy boomers are incapable of being dangerous drunks

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


Opposite, in fact. Burbon and whiskey in the winter, gin or rum in the summer. Most females just have wine or one go-to cocktail.

You have a TokTok addled social circle. “College educated” doesn’t mean anything good. Any brat with non poor parents can get a college degree. The fact that you ask this question shows that you are not very smart but can be saved.

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.


Gin originated as a medicinal liquor made by monks across Europe. Modern gin came from the Netherlands and became popular in England after French brandy was restricted in 1688. The gin crazy took off and by 1743 2.2 gallons of gin per person. It end up being a poor person’s drink and blamed for all the ills of society.

Gin and tonic was a 19th-century British colonial India thing. Soldiers added gin to quinine-based tonic water to prevent malaria.

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


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


For many insecure people having and valuing a good education is gay.


Yes women like misandry.
