Manliest drink - Gin and Tonic or Baileys?

[Steve Evil]

So which one would you choose?

Discussion has arisen due to the Christmas Boozy Bonus we get at work, I'm going for the Gin as G&T is pretty essential over Christmas, but I've been accused of being limp wristed in my approach, by the the very same colleague who turned around and said he was going to get a bottle of Baileys instead.

I also fully expect that both of us will be rightly outed before the discussion is over.

You're joking, right?

I voted G&T, but have to admit that either choice seemed a bit gay, it was a case of picking the least gay in the answer!

You've got bored of watching "Abba the Musical" and singing "YMCA", again, haven't you...

[LHDisbest]

G&T pour moi.

We're cultured up here in Edinburgh.

Baileys is nice, no doubt - but a manlier drink it is not



Anyone like Amarula? Tried it while in SA and have found a few places that sell it back here, nice fruity alternative to Baileys..

Real ale with twigs and mud.

It's a heavyweight discussion in the office right now, obviously neither are the sort of thing you'd be seen drinking in public, and the obvious choice would be to go for Vodka or Whisky instead, but we've done that in the past and we're after a battle of the queens.

[Nocebo]

Eh, G&T's are considered a bit ghey?! Can't beat a good G&T in my opinion. I'd say drink the Gin then steam into his Baileys

Do you work in HR?

Baileys can only ever be considered manly when drunk by the pint

(with ice of course!!)

[rude-boy]

Always enjoy a good G&T with the memshaib before poping out to bag a few lions.

[Yugguy]

I like a G&T sometimes, very refreshing.

I'd say quite the opposite for G&T.

I just think of this sketch from Partridge:

The manliest drink is drinking whatever you like

(I'd choose baileys out of that, but only because I don't like gin).

Met a pair of rough tough lorry drivers from Manchester whilst on holiday in the Med a couple of years ago. Father and son team who had their own haulage business and drank whisky and Baileys. Tried to keep up with them one night and had the closest thing to a near death experience ever by next morning. Never touched the bloody stuff since but a nice Tanqueray 43% ABV, compared to Gordons measly 37.5% ABV, with Schweppes tonic NOT slimline is nice and refreshing.

The only people I know who drink G&T are female, so I chose Baileys. But it's a bit like being asked "which is less gay, being done up the wrong'un or giving a BJ?".
