Yep, alcohol drinking (we’re talking cocktails here ) can be political. Just like there’s the right wing and left wing of politics , there’s also the girlie and boyish faction of cocktails. And like the glam girls of Sex and The City with their Cosmos, our boys like to get their rocks on also with no fuss. Whereas the girls may not mind a little bit more primping on the drinks, our guys are rough and ready; ready to impress their friends and the ladies in a flash- just don’t make it too complicated for them.!
