What Your Favorite Alcohol Says About You

What Your Favorite Alcohol Says About You
Michael McDonald

What you drink says a lot about you; almost as much as where you're drinking it. Maybe you're at the hottest club, dancing the night away. Maybe you're at the hole-in-a-wall bar having a delightful conversation with the bartender who resembles your grandfather. Maybe you're home alone, surrounded by your six cats, eating an entire bag of pizza rolls. I don't know. I'm not here to judge.

Wine

Wine drunk is the kind of drunk everyone wants to be/have around. The wine drinker is bubbly, sweet, and gives out the best compliments. It’s also the classiest drunk even when they’re drinking out of a box, because, well…it’s still wine.

Wine Coolers

Not to be confused with wine, this person is drinking a juice box with a 5% alcohol content. Mike’s Hard Lemonade is not an exception, either. This person has graduated to neither beer nor liquor, so they’re stuck in the sickly sweet purgatory that is a wine cooler, and within five minutes is telling everyone around them their deepest and darkest secrets while crying.

Gin

You’re very classy. Possibly an international spy. Possibly a grandmother. Either way, you’re a martini lover and know that a gin and tonic is the perfect end to a long day of crime fighting. Or knitting.

Vodka

You’re probably a freshman. Either that or you haven’t learned your favorite liquor yet, so you want to drink just enough to justify all the mistakes that you’ll inevitably make that night. The vodka drinker will most likely spend the next day laying in bed and crying over their poor decisions in a hangover from hell.

Beer

Beer is what you drink when you’re already drunk and also down to your last $5. Or you’re day drinking and have to keep going all day long. Or you’re bonging off the frat house roof. Or you’re taking a shower.

Tequila

Tequila drinkers are balls-to-the-wall crazy. They don’t take no for an answer and are probably the ones who end the night singing “Drunk in Love” on top of the bar. They aren’t sipping on tequila because they like the taste…they want to get drunk and they want it to happen NOW. This friend is a tad shambly and a lot of fun. And yes, I made up the word shambly, but you can imagine that it’s truly a perfect description of a girl on a mission with tequila in hand. Tequila to kill ya!

Whiskey

The type of person who drinks whiskey is the same as whiskey itself: hard but fun. They aren’t going to take any crap from you, and the night might end in a fight (or two or seven). Your whiskey friend is definitely taking back-to-back shots, possibly while riding a bull and/or carving a bear from a tree.

Bourbon

Drinking bourbon screams that you probably have a trust fund and the bottle comes with a starter pack of Vineyard Vines Ts, boat shoes, and a “my dad will sue you” mentality. Also, you demand that it be served with only one ice cube because you simply cannot water down your 100-year aged Bourbon.

Rum

Rum is spring break in a bottle. It is filled with mistakes, regret, and sand in places sand should never be. It is a delicious flavor that tempts you with its pretty bottle, and like a siren, it will wreck you.

Champagne

If you’re a champagne drinker, then you most likely belong to a country club, and you’re sporting a $400 handbag. Also, you wouldn’t be caught in a dive bar; you prefer VIP at the most elite club. Either that or you’re on vacation in Mexico and downing mimosas like it’s nobody’s business.

Schnapps

You’re a foreign exchange student from Germany. This is the only acceptable scenario in which Schnapps is a favorite.

Jäger

I don’t know what kind of animal you are. You probably don’t actually know how to spell jäger, but you do know how to scream that you want it from across the bar. You might have a fake ID and you definitely have a “bro.”

So whether you drink a classy glass of wine or bong beer after beer, at least, you're having a good time doing it.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.

Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs.
