Chart: Does Your Choice Of Booze Reveal Your Politics?

The chart above, produced by the right-leaning research firm NMRPP and first published in the Washington Post last week, shows the comparative political inclinations (and relative voter turnouts) associated with the drinkers of various major liquor brands.

At first glance this may look like it conforms to some basic stereotypes about the two parties—Democrats like wine! Republicans like whiskey!—but wine actually runs the whole political scale, with Smoking Loon drunk primarily by Democrats, and Robert Mondavi drunk primarily by Republicans. Major whiskey brands do generally show a Republican bent, with the exception of Jameson, Canadian Mist, and Glen Ellen.

Gin is nearly exclusively Democratic, but the real lesson of the chart is to stay away from Jägermeister, a bi-partisan scourge that apparently renders you unable to get up and vote.

We’ll have to wait until pot starts having its brands differentiated to see?

Too late. Already happened. Years ago.

Go pick up a copy of High Times.

Yeah, how many liberals are going to pony up the cost of Patron?

LOL. The rappers love Patron. I’m pretty sure they’re liberals.

Bit early to be discussing the 2020 election, Hillary may be running (again).

It was some kind of cheap wine (can't recall the name) that boasted on the label that their grapes were grown in....OHIO!

The most popular Ohio whine is "Our football teams lost again!" And I've been drinking deep from that bottle in the past week.

I get a craving for a gin and tonic the first hot day of the year. After I have one I remember why I don’t drink it the rest of the year.

While I think the Jameson’s is an outlier, I’m disappointed in not seeing any sake.

I could become a RINO if the GOP becomes too liberal. In that sense, there is great potential for many FReepers to become RINOs. Most of the time, though, I drink Budlight. I didn't see this on the chart. I'm always looking for an American wine that won't give me a headache after the first glass.

The organic wines don’t have sulfates, which is at least what I attribute the headaches to—but I’m not sure too many Freepers would go for that.

Bud Light definitely boosts your conservative cred.

Yes, and I think that’s a true story. From what I’ve read, Grant was sober in action, but dove into a bottle when nothing was going on.

Yep. The stronger, darker and spicier the rum, the better!
