Is it acceptable for men to drink wine in pubs?

[tom_e]

Real men drink good whisky neat or with ice. Putting coke in anything good should get you shot.

If were being picky no real man would drink a good whisky with ice as it kills the flavour

Actually, we don't. Ice has absolutely no business being anywhere near decent whisky. A little spring water (don't drown it), as mentioned above, helps lift the flavours from the whisky and can improve the experience immensely.

Put what you want in Bells or Teachers - personally, I pour those down the sink

I DO drink Whisky with Coke Aka Bathwater. I do it not to hide the taste, but to increase the time it takes to drink it.

Whisky or whiskey?

Whisky belongs on its own, with water or down the sink - dependant on what it is.

For instance, I know that a shot of vodka will get me more drunk, but I would opt for the double Vodka and Lemonade so that I actually have something to drink, rather than just necking it.

And that's fine, but it'll be Smirnoff or some house crap.

You'd waste Alcahol?????

A pint of wine is ok if you drink it fast. Guinness is quite nice. I used to like a few pints of guinness & black

In fact, id love a pint of guinness black now. (work might have something to say about it)

I'm partial to a glass of red in relaxed company... I have the limp wrist to go with it too.

Teachers and Bells are alcohol?

Try some of Stans 10/15year stuff and you'll never call those Whiskey again..

same here, at dinner parties or relaxing at home. NOT in the pub!

Acceptable but you must wear a suit and pretend you are at a business meeting.

Not sure which. I drink jack daniels when out getting drunk. Whereas I would drink a "proper" Whiskey/Whisky when celebrating or drinking at home for whatever reason. (I am handed a glass and I drink it.)

So I guess the latter of the two is Whisky and the drunken nights with coke is Whiskey.

 

[Steedie]

I don't see anything wrong with it. If I'm going out to a nice resteraunt with my girlfriend or other good company I'll get a bottle of wine for the table and quite happily drink it.

Last thing I want to drink is a pint with my food as then I feel bloated and don't enjoy the food

A nice wine goes down great

EDIT - Just read the thread properly, in a pub I wouldn't, simply because wine is more of a resteraunt drink imo. In a pub it's usually just a nice pint

Whats the difference between the two? I not really a whiskey/whisky drinker. Apart from JD and coke, which i find nice

One is Scottish and one is Irish, IIRC, but I can't remember which way round.

If you're offered a whisky but it has an 'e', only take it if you got it for free

Whisky = Scotch, whiskey = Irish/American

Exactly, but I found this article explains (i think?)

Whisky or whiskey? The difference between whisky and whiskey is fundamental: whisky is the one traditionally produced in Scotland whereas whiskey is the one produced in Ireland. There are other differences as well. In Scotland barley is dried with peat's smoke, which also gives malt smoky aromas and will be found in the final product. In Ireland malt is being dried in closed ovens, therefore its taste is not contaminated and keeps the typical aromas of malt and honey. Another difference is that in Ireland whiskey is distilled three times in order to have a more pure and round beverage, in Scotland whisky is usually distilled two times.

Did I say they were Whiskey? No!
However anything with a percentage of alcahol no matter how low I just can't seem to waste!!!

 

[^TANK^]

I drink Wine,cider,spirits at my local i couldn't give a flying **** what anyone thought of me for drinking less masculine alcohol.

Like perfume? Various cleaning products? What would you define as a 'waste' of alcohol? Drain cleaner is all that blended whisky is good for

 

[jas72]

says it all in that one pic

but it's plastic glass though.

I hate those they fill them upto the brim and you go to lift them and you get beer all over your hands and up your sleeves, carting 4 full ones back to your mates at a concert is a knightmare.

 

[Mint_Sauce]

Drink what you want, I drink Beer, Wine and even Gin and tonics in pubs!

I don't give a stuff what anyone thinks, if people think lowly of you because you like to drink a drink made from grapes rather than hops then there's something wrong with them.
