Gin = Not manly?

[thiosk]

Nothing wrong with gin.

Its actually catching on as a replacement for vodka in bloody marys.

Nothing wrong with being rich\cultured, either. See who the ladies go to.

And everyone knows the lemon drop is a girly man's drink.

I've become a mead man myself. But yes Gin is a rather manly beverage and a gin and tonic is also a handy remedy for malaria or so im told.

It would be indeed be handy for malaria. At least, if you drank a lot of it. Tonic water has quinine in it, which is used to treat malaria.

Gin has not had a high class culture since it came out of the still in M.A.S.H, than again that stuff was rotgut. And Hawkeye Pierce is definatly no girly man for drinkin that shit all the time. Even though he's just a TV charahter.

So you drink your gin. And if they make fun of you again for your drink of choice. Out wit them.

Dude. You're fine. Don't even worry. No guy I've ever known really gives a shit what you're drinking. And pretty much every guy I know says an upside to having a girlfriend is that they get to steal their girl's.

But hey, what do I know? I only drink beer brewed from the gut of a mountain lion slain by Bear Grylls' bare hands. I know nothing of manly drinks.

I had that once, it's hard to get rid of the smell of lion afterwards. Animals fled at the smell of me for weeks.

On topic:
I don't find anything manly in being picky about what other people are doing. Besides, life would be boring if everyone agreed and drank the same stuff.

gin is god.

dispute me ye non believers, it has saved me from a lifetime of terrible liquors and unsavory beers, i shan't name them for the men who drink them are enjoying what i cannot... except those who drink stag cause that tastes like a stag pissed in a PBR.

Gin where I am from is known as "mothers ruin", so yeah it is more of an older woman's drink so not girly as such

 

[Atheist.]

gin is only second to scotch in terms of manliness.

Nah the drinks order of "manliness" goes something like:

Whiskey
Vodka
Tequila
Beer
Gin
Brandy
Wine
MLP;FiM
Sherry

I disagree. I'd go more like..
Everclear/150+ proof alcohols
Whiskey/Scotch
Tequila
100+ proof peppermint schnapps
Gin
Vodka
Brandy
Beer
Wine
Triple sec/Blue curacco
Schnapps
(Sherry is simply added to most drinks)
(No idea what MLP;FiM) is
Wine coolers.
Beers under 70 calories.
Non alcoholic beer.

I've never heard any opinions about gin's 'manliness', but my opinion on vodka has generally been that it is neither manly nor girly, it's just a drink to me. Vodka's pretty good though.

I used to drink Jack Daniels, then jumped from vodka brand to vodka brand for a bit, then went to Jim Beam, and recently I've been enjoying Fighting Cock.
Added bonus: Fighting Cock is 103 proof.

This! Why do people worry about what other people think? I drink a lot of stuff, but sometimes (normally if I'm feeling rich) I spend the night on Gin & Tonic. I know I'm gonna get ribbed for this, but I know it's all harmless - I can say with tongue firmly in cheek that gin is definitely a gentleman's drink, and everyone else needs to get out my bar.

The only people who deserve ire is anyone who is an epic lightweight and brags about it.

 

[Treaos Serrare]

Never tried the stuff myself, i mostly drink Vodka/Rum/Tequila i like baileys and similar style coffee liqueur's. Lately ive been doing a mix of Godiva white chocolate liqueur, with Patron Tequila liqueur, and this Russian looking bran i cant remember(i say Russian because its got those onion dome towers and its all red) two or three shots of each into a big glass with Almond milk(which is fucking awesome) two or three said big glasses is usually the time when i get loopy

 

[CptRumGuy]

I thought this was a Bleach topic considering there's a character named Gin. xD

Phew, thank you. I was worried that I was the only one who had that thought first cross their minds. Although I think it means I've been watching too much Bleach. Don't know how "manly" that particular Gin would be, but he is pretty awesome

OT: Like most have said, it is not a girly liquor. Things like X-Rated or Hypnotic are girly liquors (if you can even call them liquors). Gin is more of a "gentlemanly" drink, but still manly.

 

[LetalisK]

Speaking of gin, am I the only one that thinks gin tastes like celery? Is this normal?

 

[Bealzibob]

Well I've always considered Vodka to be a very girly drink cause it's the main alcohol beverage for chicks here in Aus, where as Rum, Beer and bourbon are more manly drinks. Thats mostly cause it's always drank with energy drinks and fruit flavours so when someone say vodka I think alcopops and Mudslides.

Can't really say when in comes to Gin, not popular enough here.

 

[noxymoron19]

Never had Gin but My buddy described it as tasting like mosquito spray. That sounds manly to me.

 

[stutheninja]

gin is pretty good, i prefer 151 myself but a nice gin and tonic once and awhile is refreshing, especially if its a hot day and ive been doing physical labor of some sort.

 

[Rhade Adama]

Gin was my first real drink of alcohol after beer. I love Gin and Tonic. Most of my coworkers and friends give me a hard time about drinking it, but they have never been able to drink one themselves. I don't care if they consider it a girly drink or not. I like it and that's all I care about.

 

[scott91575]

It's made from fruits, berries, and spices. What do you think?

 

[thatcanadianguy]

I've become a mead man myself. But yes Gin is a rather manly beverage and a gin and tonic is also a handy remedy for malaria or so im told.

thats because tonic contains quinine [or howvr thats spelled] which is what they give you for malaria. infact, people can get sick drinking tonic too much, becaus they can atualyl develop an allergy to the quinine in it.

 

[BigDeadMushy]

I used to see it as a girly-man drink,until I looked into it.
James Bond is all man.
James Bond drinks martinis
1 of the ingredients of a martini is gin
ergo:gin is 1 of the manliest drinks.

 

[viranimus]

Pfft... If it isnt at the absolute barest min 100 proof, its pretty feminine. Style is basically irrelevant, proof is well, the proof.

150-190 proof is just right. 199 is golden... if you can get it.
