What does your favorite drink say about your
personality? Kathy Flanigan

You’re used to getting advice from all sorts of
places, but the Aluminum Can Council might be the most
unlikely. A recent survey the council funded reveals what
your favorite beverage says about you.
Canned beer drinkers (77 percent) and those who opt for a
mix of alcohol and canned energy drinks (70 percent) describe
their romantic demeanor as “friendly and open.”
Men and women who prefer energy drinks also define themselves
as “super sexy” (11 percent) and “smooth as
silk” (12 percent).
If you can’t spot the drink in hand, observe how your
potential date is acting. The canned beer drinker (36
percent), the energy drink drinker (38 percent) and the wine
drinker (34 percent) describe themselves as the life of the
party.
Here’s what the council found might happen should
romance occur:
Bottled beer drinkers tend to be more open to the idea of
committed relationships and have the personality of a
bartender. They talk to everyone.
The average canned beer drinker is single, friendly and open
and is most often a hard-working, younger professional.
Those who prefer canned energy drinks consider themselves
the sexy Casanovas of the 21st century.
Wine drinkers most often are white-collar women who are
considered the “ultimate hostess.”
Suave and sophisticated folks who like drinking alcohols
such as scotch are typically white-collar divorcees.
Those who like non-alcoholic beverages are often widows or
widowers with teenage children.
