Nah, it's a classic cocktail. It's like a martini, neither girly nor manly.
"I don't know how I do it. I'm like the Mr. Bean of sex." -DrunkscriblerianYeah who the fuck was calling a gin and tonic girly? A cosmopolitan is a girly drink. A Smirnoff Ice is a girly drink. A gin and tonic is not.
Then again, the concept of mocking someone for a girly drink is absurd. Way I see it, however one enjoys their alcohol is up to them. If they're drinking, I can fault them for what it is they enjoy of the booze variety.
Hey, Smirnoff Ice is also for frat boys. And for "Icing" people.
"I don't know how I do it. I'm like the Mr. Bean of sex." -DrunkscriblerianDunno what Icing means and haven't been to college. Might after the Army, though. If I do so, I'll bet I'll out drink every frat on campus.
In brief, you give a guy a Smirnoff Ice and he has to drink it. Often involves hiding the Smirnoff Ice somewhere for him to discover.
@Mark: Icing.
"I don't know how I do it. I'm like the Mr. Bean of sex." -DrunkscriblerianI don't care for Smirnoff Ices; not because of any perceived loss of manliness but rather because they are too low-proof.
When I drink, I prefer 70 proof and up.
Yeah, but beer and stuff is good for drinking games, for those times in which you want to get drunk and have fun (and not look like an alcoholic).

"I don't know how I do it. I'm like the Mr. Bean of sex." -DrunkscriblerianPlus, ale is not very high proof usually, and yet, is the drink of the gods.
Mura: -flips the bird to veterinary science with one hand and Euclidean geometry with the other-Ale is good, my favorite beer Final Absolution is a Belgian-style ale and is damn good. And 10% ABV.
Gin and tonic is an explorer's drink. Ant-imalarial and all that.
I detest it, though. I'm an ale or whisky man.
'All he needs is for somebody to throw handgrenades at him for the rest of his life...'Gin isn't girly, tonic isn't either. As said above, it's an explorer's drink. Kind of. I hate it, personally (two foul-tasting drinks mixed together. Seriously.), but considering that my favorites are dark rum with Ice Tea, the oh-so-girly Long Island Iced Tea (perfect date drink!) and Southern Comfort on the rocks, it shouldn't surprise you.
"what the complete, unabridged, 4k ultra HD fuck with bonus features" - Mark Von LewisIce cold gin and tonic with a twist of lime is pretty good on a hot day. Very refreshing.
You've got to get good gin though.
"I don't know how I do it. I'm like the Mr. Bean of sex." -DrunkscriblerianOh my fucking god, do we really have to define every goddamned thing as subject to the artificial, made-up gender binary? It's a fucking drink. Drink what you fucking want to.
Always, somewhere, someone is fighting for you. As long as you remember them, you are not alone.Spork: more or less, yeah.
I can't be sexist as I don't give a fuck about the issue to care one way or the other. Sheesh, wake up on the wrong side of the bed this morning?
As far as I'm concerned a "chick drink" isn't a drink that only chicks SHOULD drink; it's a drink that has a predominantly female following.

Gender-panic. Heh.
'All he needs is for somebody to throw handgrenades at him for the rest of his life...'Honestly I've never much seen why the current gender binary was a bad thing.

'All he needs is for somebody to throw handgrenades at him for the rest of his life...'It is more accurate. I'm just used to saying proof.
It's sweet and fruity, true, but gin has traditionally been considered manly.
Honestly, the whole girl drink/man's drink thing is a little stupid, but I want to know where I stand.
