At the bar: are you a drink snob?

[Ari]

Just curious what people think when theyre at the bar.

Are you a drink snob?

Do you buy a Corona or Heineken and then look down at the guy who just walked up to buy a VB stubbie? Do you think lesser of the girl who is buying house white?

Just curious.... are you a drink snob?

I don't really go to pubs...

1) Half-a-year too young
2) Not interested
3) That's it!

 

[Nic]

Nope. I'm usually the one buying the cheap drinks ... unless the boy is paying.

 

[Harvey Leadpipe]

Drink snobs more than likely couldn't handle themselves in a proper session, so should be looked down upon by real drinkers.

 

[Kingpin]

I don't look down on anybody for what drink they're buying - mainly because I've more than likely drunk it myself at some point.
Once bought a Bourbon & Coke at a bar and had some snotnosed little teeny bopper going "Ewwwwww Suburban and Coke ewwwwwww ewwwwww"
I buy the drink for how it tastes not how pretty the bloody bottle is.

 

[Groove]

I can not stand buying cheap beers... so i guess yes i am a snob in that regard. However i dont begrudge other people buying them. However when it comes to spirits i dont really care cos i dont really have them that often.
How can people drink beer like west end or VB? it tastes like watery ********.

 

[Ricketts]

i used to own a pub once, and i never really noticed the expensive-drink drinkers looking down at the cheap-drink drinkers.

 

[Fwoy]

Well, I don't drink VB, but that's a taste thing...happily drink pots of Carlton Draught, house spirits etc...

PS. Just because a beer is in a bottle, from overseas or more expensive doesn't make it better. Heineken tastes like cat ******** to me.

 

[god_of_the_universe]

I only drink crownies, caffrey, kilkenny or guiness

Kilkenny on tap is goooood

 

[Zeke]

I love going to 'classy' bars and ordering:

"Give me a VB thanks mate, don't worry about the glass..."

 

[Mog]

I only do gin and tonic (and the occasional martini when I'm drunk enough to think I'm a spy), so of course I'll sneer at the beer drinking common folk.

 

[harry_hawka]

Heineken tastes like cat ******** to me.

On the assumption that cat ******** doesn't taste too good, I'd have to agree with your sentiments.

 

[dr nick]

I normally get Tooheys New coz it's cheap and goes down alright... there is better out there but not worth an extra $3.

I too don't care much for Heineken, or Sam Miguel which at $6.50 a pop is all you can get at the races.

 

[dr nick]

guiness

Sadly - I was at the guiness factory in Dublin and couldnt even down a 2nd free pint. I hate the stuff.... acquired taste?

 

[dr nick]

where's the "i look down on pretentious ********ers" option?

It is a bit, but once you get it you never lose it. Or so I'm told.

 

[hindsight]

i pity the people who go to the pub and get stellas, heinys or boags. normally they are the ****ters who wear skin tight ******** and dance seriously while bum sucking ciggies pretending to talk to chicks because the blokes they hangout with are losers who cant hold a conversation without touching their hair or checking if they have any messages.

also, in south australian, where i live, i have noticed that blokes who drink pale ale are mostly tossers as well, who like to bull******** about the sediment in the beer which they claim adds to the flavour. lies.

What I get from that is we should all drink orange juice?

 

[Destructive]

I don't take notice.

 

[Farrand]

I live in England at the moment (being a moment that has lasted seven years) and needless to say, I had to find some work for money. So, I work in a pub. And there is no such thing as drink snobbery here. This pub also happens to be my local, so you'll get people drinking all kinds and no one judges on that.
Of course, I drink any bloody thing. Preference to guinness, but one day, after being paid I set myself a challenge. The smirnoff challenge. And I proceeded to drink the pub out of smirnoff ice. It took me about 8 hours, three of which I had to work and drink. But I was the eventual winner. I smited the stocks. So these days, I still remain partial to the odd smirnoff in between beers.
Love it when I can get my hands on Aus beers like VB, Tooheys and Crown. If anyone wants to send me a crate of any, going for it. Though, it does bring back memories of a wasted £200 on £1.50 bottles of Tooheys, over a week on my holiday in Cornwall. I'm just glad I didn't pawn my bus ticket.

 

[lioness]

I don't drink much......but I really don't care what others drink, none of my business.

 

[Beffery]

I don't look down on those who go for the cheaper options, each to their own. However, as a beer drinking chick, I see so many girls at the bar ordering their cruisers etc giving me the disapproving glare when I order a pint of Guinness or pot of Carlton Draught.

 

[Harvey Leadpipe]

Chicks that drink cheap local beer will usually get a heap more guys talking to them than the princesses who sip on lolly water. You'd rather talk to a down-to-earth chick who's going to shout you one back over some stuck up mole who thinks she's doing you a favour by being in her space.
