Grabbing drinks is pretty par for the course when it comes to dating as a twenty-something. It’s less serious than dinner, more fun than coffee and it can actually tell you quite a bit about the guy you’re spending the evening with. Don’t believe me? Take a look at some of the drinks I’ve listed below. They run the gamut from common orders (see: imported beers, whiskey) to some more…colorful…alternatives (I’m looking at you Tangotini). Whether you want to admit it or not, the guy with the umbrella hanging out of his martini glass is probably more interested in the James Franco look-alike at the end of the bar than he is in you.

Take a look below and size-up your date the easy way. Don’t think my observations are accurate? Yell at me in the comments. And be sure to check out what He Said over at COEDMagazine.com.

      I don’t drink bud light because it tastes like horse piss. Most people I know that drink cheap beer do so to get drunk. Life is too short for cheap beer.

      You have to be kidding me. Straight whiskey is a "man's drink?" Last I checked, I was alllll woman.
      And the last time I grabbed drinks with a guy who drank Natty Ice, he fell asleep at 9:30.

      Loooooooove the gender stereotypes!

      Frankly, I prefer any man/person who is secure enough in himself to drink whatever he likes, without reason or justification. I don’t like dark beer or much liquor. I’m never going to be that cool woman sipping whisk(e)y in the corner, or the one ordering a g+t. Or even the one drinking Guinness. And that’s ok! I’m not trying to impress anyone with my choice of beverage. I’m just drinking what tastes good. I’d rather a guy did the same.

      I get the whole “haha this is just a funny slideshow” but saying that a man is only a man if he drinks respectable alcohol is just stupid. A man is a man if he has a penis and/or identifies as a man.

      So funny! I'd love a man who drinks a G&T, a little Whisky or simple beer. Class A dudes.

      what this should read is 'what his choice in dates says about him'

      This is STUPID…my boyfriend drinks 'imported' beer because bud light is watered down crap, not because it's too 'cheap'

      This article is spot-on.

      She even referenced "Whiskey-dick"

      W.D. is AWESOME in the right circumstances… and horrifyingly sad in others.

      Consistent binge drinking and alcoholism can lead to long-term emotional problems, no matter what type you drink ;)
