Ok, then one of the problems with designating drink smugness is that too much depends on who is drinking and where.  Still, I think that if we make the setting an ordinary bar in an ordinary American city, we can still generalize wildly about people's drinks.  For example:

If you're a woman drinking a Cosmo, then chances are that you don't really like the taste of alcohol that much and that you have seen the Sex and the City Movie.  (As an aside, I think I may have to do a separate entry on my issues with that show.)

If you're a man drinking a Pina Colada, and you're straight, then . . . um . . . you're very secure in your masculinity.  Or totally oblivious.

If you're a man drinking scotch on the rocks and wincing every time you take a miniscule sip, then you're overcompensating and should have scaled back your ambitions a bit.

Yeah, an Old Fashioned definitely sounds more genteel than it tastes. I just can't channel my inner Vivien Leigh and down it.

I would take this opportunity to again express what it means to be a woman drinking white wine, mostly as a warning to any girl who thinks it makes her classy. It doesn't, ever. Also, as much as I enjoy a fine glass of red wine, it reeks of pretention when ordering it at a regular bar. Most regular bars aren't going to carry any red wine that's doesn't come from the cellars of Ernest and Julio Gallow (or Bartyles and James).

Red wine turns my teeth blue
