"So I rounded up even more judgements about common drink orders - this time from Reddit and from the BuzzFeed community. You might want to keep these in mind before placing your next drink order. 11. "If you order a Bud Light, Miller Light, or Budweiser with a shot of whiskey, you probably work in a manual labor-intensive job." - u/Modod_"
"13. "Mint Julep: You're probably the descendant of an 18th century plantation owner, you're wearing a sear-sucker suit, and probably carrying a cane." - u/lord_newt· 20. "Anything with Malibu: It's probably karaoke night, 'girls night,' or a Bachelorette party." 24. "Cosmopolitan: You just binge-watched every episode of 'Sex and the City' and you're ordering a Cosmo to be like Carrie Bradshaw." So if you're a bartender reading this, what stereotypes do you associate with common drink orders? Get judgmental in the comments below."
Observers linked specific drinks to stereotyped identities and situations. Bud Light, Miller Light, or Budweiser served with a shot of whiskey were associated with manual, labor-intensive occupations. The Mint Julep was tied to ancestral wealth, seersucker suits, and carrying a cane. Drinks containing Malibu were associated with karaoke nights, girls' nights, or bachelorette parties. The Cosmopolitan was linked to viewers of Sex and the City imitating Carrie Bradshaw. The examples reflect community perceptions that certain beverage choices signal occupation, class, fashion, and social occasion. Bartenders were prompted to contribute additional stereotypes related to common drink orders.
