Because there isn't a commercial with guys riding horses, or playing football, or talking with hot women or various other "Manly" acts telling me that a lemon drop is a manly drink. Once that commercial comes out you'll be fine.

I think it all depends how the drink is made as well.

I think a good rule of thumb any thing less than 50% alchohol to mixer ratio may be considered girly. So for an 8 oz mixed drink it would be okay if liquor content was >= 4 oz.

Stop drinking and learn to do your own homework.

Oh, and you're a pansy for ordering lemon drops :laugh:

You did not just insult vodka. :frown:

Right?

I understand that you've been lied to for many years, and it's not entirely your fault. But really, don't drink clear liqour. Try something that doesn't come in an assortment of fruit flavors. It's good for you.

The healing can begin.

What does drinking vodka have to do with fruit flavors? You can mix crap in any alcohol :roll:

I was referring to the fact that you can buy it already flavored. But you're right, it loses because it is clear and inferior, the citron is just a further weakening of a broken product.

Cripes, all these replies, and not one person got it (though some came close) it's a simple 2 part relationship:

Sugar = Girly

and who fvcking cares?

drink what you want to drink. if you enjoy those fruity drinks great then have fun.

There are times i love the fruity stuff and there is times i want a long island iced tea.

to many are concerned with how they look.

Okay, I can play that game.

Whiskey is "weak" because of Southern Comfort, since it's "whiskey flavoured."
Rum is "weak" because of Malibu "Rum."
Tequila is "weak" because of "Tequila" Rose.

I'm afraid that me and my Ukrainian ancestors are going to have to cut your lying pig-dog head off if you keep badmouthing the water of life.

Hrmm, I googled "water of life" and all I found was a lot of information about whiskey.

I don't care what people think of what I drink. Usually its Beer or Jack/Coke, striaght jack shots, sometimes like this past weekend I was mixing beer and red deaths.

Red Death is very fruity but I wouldn't consider it girly at all.

Vodka tonic _is_ a girly drink - manly drinks are straight spirits, possibly with ice, or strong beer.

Who cares though, no one's gonna judge you.

Screw whoever says anytyhing, drink what you want and have a good time.

Mojitos are certainly not girly...anything considered a good drink by Hemingway is automatically excluded from the girly list.
