The famous French lawyer and politician, also the author of The Physiology Of Taste, Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin once said, “Tell me what you eat and I will tell you what you are.” Meaning that the choices a person makes about their food which is fundamental for being alive can reveal things about other aspects of their life.
Apparently that can be applied to drinks at a bar as well because many bartenders shared their thoughts on what they think about a person when they order when Redditor Indianfattie asked “Bartenders Of Reddit: What Are The Stereotypes That Come With Specific Drinks People Order?”
People eagerly joined the conversation and shared what stories they can tell from people’s drinks. Do these stereotypes bartenders ascribe to your favorite drink are true? Tell us in the comments!

TIL also very popular amongst Babushkas and Wisconsinites. Who woulda thunk it.
That said, I’m pretty tolerant of most drink orders, people are allowed to like what they like, even if I don’t share the same taste.
I should clarify, it’s the specific way of ordering it to sound like James Bond that I find douchey and tells me the guest probably don’t know what they’re doing and won’t like the drink, not the actual drink itself.
When I first started drinking I never knew what to order so my sister told me to get her college friend’s favorite drink, which was Malibu and Sprite. As a lifelong sugar addict I loved it.
One night I ordered it at a bar and the bartender chuckled to himself a bit so I asked him why, he said he just learned the name of that drink but didn’t want to offend me. I said to let me have it; it’s called a High Maintenance White B***h.
some people think I’m judging lager drinkers, I’m definitely not. In the UK pubs usually have 5+ unless they’re just a real ale pub so it’s a really unspecific order.
Vodka soda…you’re on a diet.
Margarita…you’re a pain in my a**.
Scotch and water…you’re over 50 with heart issues.
Orange juice…you’re gonna tip me a quarter.
AMF-you’re a college kid who’s sole purpose is to throw up on yourself by the end of the night and not tip a single bartender.
If your a “vodka drinker” and you demand obscure expensive vodka for the “clean” flavor, your a victim of marketing. You don’t like vodka, you like alcohol, which is fine, but pretending like there is a difference between grey goose and pinnacle is one of the lower aspects of my job.
I have bartended for more than 15yrs, & honestly the biggest correlation I’ve experienced is with sports fans. Here, baseball fans = beers, low maintenance, minimal tips. Football fans = double whiskey 7s at 9am, as fast as possible, decent tips as its pure volume and turnover. Soccer fans = moscow mules, kamikazes, anything with 3 or more ingredients, unless it’s a shot of expensive tequila. High maintenance customers, but good tips. I realize this isn’t universal, but it goes with the fans and teams in my city.
Any brand name liquor on the rocks with a splash of soda means it’s a person between 55-65 with decent money. They usually tip pretty well.
If I’m asked about the malty flavor or mouthfeel of every IPA we have, it’s a hipster in their 20’s trying to be cool.
If they ask for any kind of shooter, at my bar at least (not a college bar), they’re 30-35, unhappy with their life and wishing to go back to college. Often they’re trying to seem fun, young, and hip to the other people at the bar.
Idk what it is about moms and margaritas, but they go together like pb&j
Old-Fashioned Sweet. Fun grandma with a s**t ton of stories. Has been to hell and back but still is nice as pie.
ruity/frozen drinks are typically new drinkers. PSA: sugary drinks cause bad hangovers.
Does it fit the stereotype of a person who doesn’t belong here and should just go home? Cuz I agree 100%.
