Aren't wine coolers 1-2% alcohol?
Beer, about 3%
Ice and Skyy Blue, about 5%

I don't understand why something 'stronger' than beer is still categorized as a "girl's drink."

WTF are you getting beer with 3% alcohol at?

What a bunch of damn pansies in this thread.

Do you live in Utah?

The percentage of alcohol in beer varies by state. I know that Utah has one of the lowest allowable beer alcohol limits and some of the strictest alcohol laws in the US.

Beer is nasty and i don't drink it. Looks like piss, smells like piss, it is PISS. Smirnoff Ice is good, Bacardi Silver is ok, but Vodka sours and screwdrivers are where it's at.

Beer is an Important food group where I live.

the only beer that I know of that is 3% is Bud Light and I would hardly call that beer
but to answer your question the qualifier for a girls drink is not the alchol content but how it tastes

So in other words, if it tastes like crap, it's a man's drink? 😕
 
Drunk people who have been drinking Smirnoff smell far more like a dirty hobo than someone who has been drinking something else. The drunken person alcohol smell from that stuff is nasty, even after one or two.

Smirnoff vodka is ghetto vodka - I don't understand how it got so popular.

I would hardly consider beer a crappy tasting drink and I'm not even being that serious either, I've drank Shmirnoff Ice on occasion and it wasn't bad, but it's still a girls drink 😀
I would never get drunk off of it again(bad experience new years day last year)
 
I found this stuff at the store the other day, Two Dogs Hard Orange Brew. Its pretty good.

Best though is a strong screw driver. 3 parts vodka, 1 part OJ.
 
The only time I tried Smirnoff was when I was so drunk I started stealing people's drinks and got some chick's Smirnoff. The next day she told me about it and I couldn't remember😀
 
FYI, most people categorize a "chick drink" as one that a girl could easily polish off -- i.e. wine cooler, smirnoff ice, or any fuity mixed drink.

Note that alcohol content is not a factor. I've mixed drinks for girls that were about 6oz of hard alcohol and 2oz of mixer. You don't even know you're fscked up until you're on your 3rd one.


And for those of you who think beer == piss, you must be drinking crappy beer, living in Utah, or not have your "beer tongue" yet. It's an acquired taste and once you start getting into specialty brews a whole new world opens up.

BTW, whoever posted that 3% nonsense, my Killian's Irish Red has almost 6%, I had a couple pints of 8% belgian ale yesterday at a bar, and there are some others with 12-15% that I don't dare touch. 🙂
 
Hmm... well, I'm 19 and live on the american canadian border (states side) and so I'm accustomed to club hopping across the river where 19 is legal everywhere. I've never had smirnoff ice in the states, but in Canada it's a bit stronger at 7% alcohol. I wouldn't call it a pussy girl's drink just because when you're clubbing and dancing and trying to attract women, the smell of beer drives them away, any other type of drink OTHER then beer seems to let them draw right in... so smirnoff is a club winner😀
 
STFU to all you Smirnoff Ice haters. I like sweet drinks. There I said it. 😀 I say no to that Hard Cola madness though. That was just bad.

What's a good drink to get started drinking alcohol on? BTW, I don't like the dry stuff.

Get a 26er of white rum (bacardi is good, but get cruzan if you want the gold stuff), and a 12 pack of coca cola. The beauty is that you can mix them however strong you want to get used to it.
