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.
white russiam or 150 proof rum and a little coke
Reminds me of the old story about Sargent Shriver in ‘72 campaigning at a West Virginia tavern full of miners.
“Gee, you guys are swell. Bartender, beers for everyone in the house. And a Courvoisier for me.”
I much prefer the 15. It is everything you could want from a bourbon. A whiskey bar near me had a few bottles from the release last month. I tried the 15, 20, and 23 and all were very good but the 20 probably was the least impressive of the 3.
The missus and I wound up on the wrong side of the line so I question the methodology.
Lots of sparkling wines on the left. That sort of thing is often associated with the upper classes. Hmmm. Or is Champagne now the “Champagne of the working class”.
One of my many fond memories of that place.
My guess is that this particular guy voted Rat.....5 times on each election day.
The Russians sold it for less than safe drinking water on the theory that a drunk populace is a compliant populace.
Where’s the Everclear?
Black Velvet - Alannah Myles
Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell
Jimmy Rodgers on the Victrola up high
Mama’s dancing with baby on her shoulder
The Sun is setting like molasses in the sky.
The boy could sing, knew how to move, everything.
Always wanting more, he’d leave you longing for.
CHORUS:
Black velvet and that little boy smile
Black velvet with that slow southern style
A new religion that’ll bring you to your knees
Black velvet if you please.
Up in Memphis the music’s like a heat wave
White lightning, bound to drive you wild.
Mama’s baby’s in the heart of every school girl
“Love me tender” leaves ‘em cryin’ in the aisle
The way he moved, it was a sin, so sweet and true.
Always wanting more, he’d leave you longing for.
CHORUS:
Black velvet and that little boy smile
Black velvet with that slow southern style
A new religion that’ll bring you to your knees
Black velvet if you please.
Every word of every song that he sang was for you.
In a flash he was gone, it happened so soon,
What could you do?
CHORUS:
Black velvet and that little boy smile
Black velvet with that slow southern style
A new religion that’ll bring you to your knees
Black velvet if you please.
Black velvet and that little boy smile
Black velvet with that slow southern style
A new religion that’ll bring you to your knees
Black velvet if you please.
If you please
If you please

I drink Jameson. I don’t vote dem, although I bet the 75 year old American Irish that think they are still voting for Kennedy are skewing the numbers.
I don’t drink Alcohol but what does drinking GOOD Black Coffee, Tap Water and Sprite/Coke say about you?
Gin, a favorite of the left. What a surprise!
Gin drinkers are cited as the second most mentioned reason for locking gas caps.
Globally.
Deep down inside gin drinkers would prefer low octane gasoline if it were sold in a fancy bottle.
Gin drinkers lie. They’ll order top shelf in public but drink the cheapest swill at home.
In fact, Gallo Tawny Port, the perennial favorite of the curbside connoisseur, is a few magnitudes up the scale.
If your an FR gin drinker, I still love you guys, but really, gin?
