Girls--beer drinking etiquette?

[Stef the Pef]

Partially inspired by this thread's article: http://www.greekchat.com/gcforums/sh...ad.php?t=84060

I've always heard never to drink it straight from the can, and definitely to never do so in letters, but is it also verboten to drink out of the bottle?

My parents are both pretty teatotalery, but the big 2-1's coming up and I don't wanna have a deep south party foul.

Drinking beer straight from the bottle is the most direct route to "Bloat City". If you use a glass, the CO2 escapes faster from the beer (a glass has a larger opening) and you won't get as bloated (if at all).

I saw this on a documentary from Stella Artois beer, so I know of what I speak.

You're right that drinking beer from the can is tacky (the only acceptable time to do that is on the river, IMO). Drinking out of the bottle is just as bad. And you never, ever want to be tacky.

I think drinking beer at all is kinda tacky too, but if you're going to drink it, drink out of a pretty cup (without letters). Happy early birthday! Hope it's a great southern fete!

Yeah, WTF? Beer drinking etiquette is a oxymoron. You damn silver spoon sorority girls, just turn it up, drink it up, and end it with a satisfying belch.

BTW: I used to hate beer, but some how acquired the taste for it. I don't know how, maybe it's from smelling it all the time at bars or whatever.

Agreed! I've always preferred beer to mixed drinks or straight liquor, and I don't think there is anything tacky about it (although I do agree that drinking from a can is a no-no, find a plastic cup for that shit! )

I guess I'm just a tacky girl. But then again, I think it would be even more tacky to be at a bar, be given the beer in a bottle, and then ask for a mug.

I heart you.

Before I graduated college I hated beer. Now, I like beer but the beer I like doesn't even come in cans. I don't like to unnecessarily dirty glasses so I have no issue drinking from a bottle. Course, right now I'm drunk on wine.

I co-sign all of this.

Holy shit. No really. Holy shit. I think that calling people tacky for drinking something they enjoy is tacky, but hey, have at it.

I drink beer however the hell I feel like drinking it -- sometimes out of the bottle and sometimes out of a glass and sometimes out of the can (although the only canned beer I really drink is Gordon, which belongs in a glass because it is magnificent). And I don't give a shit what anybody thinks of it.

If drinking it out of the bottle is tacky, wonder what's thought of beer bonging? Which i'm guessing many people in this thread have participated in during their college career....

That's tacky. Keg stands and Edward 40 hands are so much classier.

Okay, I didn't mean that drinking beer is tacky, per se. All I can think of when I think of girls drinking beer though is those women who go to the liquor store without a bra and with 10 screaming kids going "Give me a case of beer...can I buy that with food stamps?" I've drank beer before; I don't particularly like it, but my comment about drinking it being tacky may have been out of line. I still think, and was raised in the environment to think, that drinking ANY drink out of the bottle is tacky and just not ladylike at all. That's not saying I don't like the people who do it or wouldn't talk to them or look down on them...but I just personally wouldn't do it.

On a greek note, we're not allowed to drink out of bottles on my campus. At all. We HAVE to put it in a cup.

Oh my lawd jeebus, just when I thought it couldn't get any better (or worse). So you won't do vending machines if you're really thristy? How about bottled water? What about kool-aide koolbursts? If there's only a sip of soda left in a 2-liter, do you just turn it up, or do you get a glass for that too?
