Whether a man drinks from a pint glass or the bottle can reveal whether he is scared of commitment and how much he earns.

A survey for The Famous Grouse whisky says that men fit into one of four distinct categories, based on the drinking vessel they use.

It says that 67% of those who drink from a wine glass claim to earn more than £35,000 a year, while 52% do not want their future wife to work.

However, 89% of wine-glass users say they would be prepared to pay for sex.

The poll found that for three-quarters of men who drink from a short glass, intelligence was the most important trait in a woman.

Just over half of this group would never ask a woman out in a bar, while 78% said they would never sleep with a woman on the first date.

Of those who said they drank from a bottle, 77% said they would cheat on their partner if the opportunity arose, 68% would dump their girlfriends is they put on weight, and 70% thought looks were the most important factor in a potential girlfriend.

The poll of 2,000 men said that 65% of those who drink from pint glasses said they were frightened of commitment, 54% said a night out with the lads was more important than a quiet night in with a girlfriend - but 62% said they wanted to be mothered.

The research was carried out using a database of men who drink The Famous Grouse and who had already defined the type of vessel they use to drink other beverages.

They were then asked to agree or disagree with a series of pre-set questions during one-to-one interviews.
