I see a LOT of guys drinking the hard seltzers.  I was too young for Zima, although it's back, like everything 90s.  Too bad Roseanne didn't take them with her when she went away again.

Seems like it went like this:

wine coolers --> Zima ---> hard lemonade ---> hard ciders --> random alcohol-infused water --> hard seltzer

Maybe.  It's just a theory.  But the first 2 are definitely true.
Maybe they should just have some Jack Daniels Bourbon

(the list above is for chicks, of course.  If I ever saw a dude drinking a Zima, I'd likely have words with that feller)


So pretty much every dude in Austin?

I think "we" tend to be bored with life and disappointed with life.  The wife and I were at the Mall yesterday, she had to return something, and I was musing again how often humans seem to thing THAT pair of shoes will make them happy, or THAT necklace, or THAT car, or THAT house.  Or THAT Trophy Wife (Preferably French, and she does make me happy.)

If I had THAT, I'd finally be happy and content and fulfilled.

Um, probably not.

I think this bleeds over into drinking as well.  All my friends are now drinking "X" and they seem happy, I don't want to be the last person drinking "Y" and looking archaic and not "with it", so I'm sure drinking "X" will make me happy (and drunk).

The kinds of things that really make us happy, I maintain, are things where we help someone else.  And dogs.  Dogs make me happy.

Reallly?I'd walk into the fanciest wine cellars in the Napa Valley tossing back a Natty Lite if I knew it'd chap their ass.But then again I don't get invited to a lot of parties or the Napa Valley

My comments are about how many younger folks want to be "in the in crowd" and follow the herd, not about doing something you think would upset someone at some fancy winery.  They really wouldn't care if you did that.  They might chuckle, as you probably paid a princely sum to try their wines at such an event unless you were "industry".

And you probably are not "young" either.

Young folks, in general, have more of a need to "fit in", at times that being "counter fitting in" to fit in.

Some want to "fit in" with those who make an effort not to fit in, which is also fitting in.

I simply like variation in everything, my wife and I are polar opposites on everything.  I never want to go to the same restaurant twice, whereas she doesn't get why you wouldn't want a second dip at a place you loved.  She'll watch a random movie on TNT she's seen a dozen times, and I can't do that.  Perhaps the #1 thing about kids that drives me nuts is how they'll play a CD in the car to death (literally, we have CDs that don't play anymore) and I can't listen to the same song one more time.

I'm that way with beer too.  I don't care about "what's next" or "what's hot" though, half the time I don't even know what I'm ordering, but I don't like to stick to a comfort zone.  Most of the time I have more regrets ordering something I've already had than ordering something new and not liking it.  Perhaps that's quirky.

Cocktails go through progressions like this as well... Over the past few years the Moscow Mule experienced a resurgence, and I think 98% of its popularity was due to the copper mug. But it seems to have lost its allure.

Now as far as I can tell, the Old Fashioned is big. I don't get it. I'd rather have bourbon on the rocks. Keep all that other crap they put in an Old Fashioned out of my glass. I think people just think they look sophisticated to drink a bourbon drink rather than a vodka drink. 

Personally, I like the beers I like, I like the wines I like, and I like the occasional hard liquor, which is pretty much bloody mary, gin & tonic, or some brown liquor on the rocks or neat. Occasionally a margarita, but only really when I'm out for mexican food.

I don't have enough energy to pay attention to trends, much less to keep up with them.

I was mocked in my 20s for loving G&Ts,  'you old man' I never cared.  It's a great drink.  I used to bring brandy, bitters and cherries to parties where barrels of Busch light was served.  You old man!  I'm not a contrarian just wanted what I liked .
