When hitting up the downtown Blacksburg, you don’t really think about what you’re ordering at the bar.
Whether it’s a beer, or a part hardy Rail, what you drink says a lot about you and your personality. Here’s some insight into a few of the many classic drink choices.
Vodka Cranberry: You like liquor, but you don’t actually know what to order. It’s a classic drink for a night out, and pretty much tastes the same everywhere you go. It’s a choice people make when there is no other choice to make.
Natty Light: This beer is for a new frat star (or freshman) attempting to get by on-the-cheap and have a good time.
Rail: Let’s get crazy. You’re out for a fun night and no one’s going to stop you. Shortcut to drunk.
Red Bull Rail: ...Let’s get crazier. And possibly blackout. Scratch that, definitely blackout.
Grateful Dead: Tomorrow, you won’t be very grateful.
Tequila Shot: Trail of roses? Scratch that. Trail of clothes. You may or may not be the girl who everyone is judging at the bar.
Barefoot Moscato: The training wheels of wine, AKA you are an inexperienced wino. You probably aren’t 21 or you wouldn’t be drinking moscato. At least I hope you aren’t 21.
Red Wine: You fancy, huh?
Vodka Water: Skinny betch, go back to the gym.
Long Island Iced Tea: You’re a seasoned drinker and your mind is always on 5:00. You want your own little piece of paradise at the bar.
Mimosas: You’re not afraid to start at the crack of dawn with a little bit of orange juice. As Blair Waldorf said, “Have a little bit of faith, and if that doesn’t work, have a lot of mimosas.” All hail Queen B.
Fireball Shot: You hear that whisper in your ear? Yeah, it’s the devil. Tastes like heaven, burns like hell.
Jack and Coke: 9 times out of 10, you’re a male. This drink is not for the faint hearted.
Undercurrent Shooter: You’re a social butterfly. Everyone knows you can’t take a shooter by yourself, so you constantly have friends by your side.
Local IPA: Hipsta status. Head on over to Rivermill and meet your friends. They already have a table waiting on you, I promise.
Anything on the rocks: Are you even in college? You may be a borderline alcoholic. Just saying.
