How do you hold your drink?

by **KitKat** on Sat 29 Oct 2011, 11:43 am

The way people hold their drink reveals their personality, a new study claims.

All revellers fall into one of eight different personality types which are given away by their drinking techniques, a leading psychologist has concluded.

Dr Glenn Wilson, a consultant psychologist at King's College, London, observed over 500 drinkers in bars last month.

Now there's someone who obviously enjoys his job (lucky git).
I wonder how he holds his own.

He analysed drinkers' body language and then advised on their openness to being approached.

He has categorised them as the 'Flirt', 'Gossip', 'Fun-Lover', 'Wallflower', 'Ice Queen', 'Playboy', 'Jack the Lad' and 'Browbeater'.

I must be a bit of a multi-personality cos depending on the situation and who I'm with, I tend to come under all of 'em.

Ah! Psychology at its best.

For me....

It depends on which type of glass I'm using.

I don't fit into any of those categories. Most people I know don't either.
He must have tested some very low class establishments (swigging from a bottle!).
What a lot of nonsense.

Oh, didn't you know, Stardust ... that is the in thing amongst the pub and wine bar goers nowadays ... drinking from the bottle ... usually served with a slice of lemon or lime stuck on the top of the bottle. I believe this trend was in fact started as a wise cautionary recommendation, owing to the startingly increasing incidents amongst clubbers a couple of years back, of drinks (glasses) being 'spiked' with what has become known as the 'date rape' drug (can't remember the name ... begins with an 'r' I think), a tiny tablet which can be surreptitiously dropped into a glass and people ending up being raped at the end of the night and not being able to remember a thing about it!

What is the world coming to?!
Now you mention it, KK, I had vaguely heard of that.
But what's the use of a pretty dress and shoes to make a girl feel good if she's got to be swigging from a bottle? Definitely not lady-like.
Besides, unless she holds on to the bottle(s) in her hand all evening long, even when dancing, what's to stop a pill being slipped inside almost as easily as in a glass?

Even Geordie girls are holding on to and drinking from their glasses all evening now - I now just stick the rohypnol tablet in their pie.

Switch to beer and swig from the tap. It's like drinking from the water fountain at school (germsville lol)

Take a mate... two girls, one tap..be on Youtube in 30 seconds!

Ah-ha! A clue.. ! Wink

Perhaps, unbeknown even to yourself, Stardust, you do come under one of those categories above? Cool

Psychic intuition? Nah, ... just an observation. drunken

(I'd have to see how you hold your glass to make my reading complete).

No, just read through again and most definitely none of the listed corresponds at all, KK. That list is far from exhaustive.

You will never catch me drinking from a pint glass.. so unladylike. Perhaps I'm bit of a snob.
