Local Wine:
2 reasons. After long years of abuse, your hard liquor days are over and you now have managed to regularly order a drink that you can sip at a constant pace, without getting drunk and silly. Best ordered for a drink out with colleagues. You’ve even come to enjoy its tipsy effect only because you’re usually asleep before you can do anything silly.
Or, you spent all your money on hard liquor and local wine is the cheapest and fastest way you can get drunk without burning a hole in your pocket.
Beer:
You’re either broke or super-hungover. If you allow yourself 6 or more, there’s a high probability you’ll be switching to hard liquor very soon. Which defeats the entire purpose of why you had beer in the first place. If you’re a girl and you’re ordering it “Mexcian” style you actually can’t stand beer but it looks good at the beach so whatever….
Vodka 7 Up
It took you years to evolve into this drink. You first did the whole screwdriver thing. Then you joined the vodka Redbull wagon, but after numerous drunken episodes, losing a bunch of friends, switching from Medicine to Business, and wrecking daddy’s car along the way you finally realized it wasn’t the best mix. You didn’t wanna give up the Vodka all together, but needed a good companion. Then you saw an older friend drink it with a Seven-Up and it’s been love ever since. When you’re feeling sophisticated you order it with a slice of lemon.
Rum and Coke:
You first ordered rum cause you wanted to stand out and frankly you liked the way it sounds. Then when you hit your twenties you outgrew it. But if you’re still drinking it, you do it cause you consider yourself a bit of a lefty, you like to hang out at hippy-ish pubs in Hamra where foreigners hang out in packs and girls don’t brush their hair or because you’re still friends with those who didn’t outgrow rum.
Mojito
You enjoy torturing bartenders. You wanna see him chop those mints, manually mix-in that brown sugar all the whilst making the final product look good. Yet, you still ask the waiter why the drink you ordered is taking so long. Cause you’re annoying that’s why! Bisoux

Ok, i mite be broke at times. I drink beer bec Lebanese wine gives me a headache (no offense to anyone). I like having a light drink and I mostly enjoy it.
I don’t like mexican beer. I think Corona is for wussies. I drink a beer from the bottle bec i enjoy it this way. I am mostly a girly girl:)

+961 is a good local brew…what about drinking a beer b/c it tastes good? 🙂
Abaretruth says
I used to like 961 beer when they had the pub in gemmayzeh, they should offer all their brew selection not that regular one u find everywhere
khalil says
I like their witbier offering, but we do need variety in the beer realm though.

What about GIN? I’m a gin and tonic girl myself. 😀

Well you left out a significant selection of straight drinks and cocktails there.
What about a simple chivas on the rocks (The lack of single malt selection in bars here is lamentable come to think of it) ? Cant drink anything else, whiskey is one hell of a jealous mistress.
