I found this
to be a very interesting article. My
time behind the bar has given me an interesting insight of the way that people
drink and their mannerisms. I feel like
Judi James has categorized them perfectly.
I hope you get as big of kick out of this as I did.
Judi James,
says there are seven different types of drinking personalities. The Splash Drinker doesn't waste time over
drink as they're too eager to dance. Shot
Clinker is always the center of attention without even realizing,
Sip Drinker is a strategic type who evaluates how to
maximize pleasure.
Are you a
highly sociable shot clinker, or a clever pleasure-seeker who knows the value
of taking your time over your favorite drink?
According to body language expert Judi James, there are seven different
types of drinking personalities that you'll usually observe if you take the
time to look around you next time you're on a night out at the pub. While some are more interested in how
aesthetically pleasing their drink will look on social media, others prioritize
hitting the dancefloor - and you can tell who is who just by observing their
mannerisms and body language.
The Splash
Drinker
When drinking
a cocktail such as a Pornstar Martini, they will splash the shot of prosecco
into the glass without much thought. 'The
splash drinker will have very practical, down-to-earth body-language' Judi
explained. 'They'll be no-nonsense and you'll have no trouble spotting them as
they'll be the first on the dance floor.'
Rather than spending time savoring a fancy cocktail the splash drinker
just wants to get on with it so they can enjoy themselves on the
dancefloor. 'With them,
what-you-see-is-what-you-get, they don't mess around,' Judi explained.
The Squeeze
Drinker
This drinker
will make no bones about dipping their fingers into a perfectly-presented
cocktail and squeezing a slice of passion fruit. 'The squeeze defines themselves as tactile
and literally hands-on; they are creative and crave attention,' Judi explained. 'They can be a bit of a performer in life
generally, happily taking center stage at social events and parties and
encouraging others to enjoy themselves too.'
The Share
Drinker
'Some cocktail
drinkers just love to share their pleasure with others, not only enjoying their
cocktail but handing it round so everyone can take a sip,' Judi said. 'They are a generous, happy-go-lucky giver.
They would tend to beam as they perform their act of generosity and then
perform a strong bonding ritual that makes others instantly warm to them. You'll most likely find them in the middle
of the party.'
The Shot -
Clinker
This
personality type is 'highly sociable, with a strong work-hard play-hard ethic'. 'They know what they want and that's to be
social,' Judi said. 'They will be the center of attention without realizing it,
and first to get the party started.' 'They
enjoy pack-partying, out in a group and often selecting the shot ritual of
clinking glasses to intensify the fun via group or team shared activity.
The Snap
Drinker
Everyone has a
friend in their group who is the 'social media star'. Judi explained: 'They will instantly stop
and move to snap and share their cocktail on social media. 'This is before they tuck in is revealing
their love of sharing the moment with their followers. For any snap drinker
it's always Instagram first, drink second.'
The Savor
Drinker
If you fall
into this category, you're the type to tune into all your senses and aim
to enhance pleasure 'in every way possible'. 'They are the sophisticated taste lover,'
Judi continued. 'A clever and indulgent pleasure-seeker, the savor drinker is
sophisticated and smart. 'Their body
language doesn't always define them as too cool for school as they are happy
savoring their drink and letting everyone know just how much they're enjoying
it.'
The Sip
Drinker
This
personality type is also a pleasure-seeker, but is more strategic. 'The sipper might look like they are just
taking their time but in fact they are the ultimate pleasure-seeker, someone
smart and strategic who works at getting the best out of every situation,' Judi
said. 'They know that the best things
come to those who wait, and are happy to draw out their favorite cocktail. They
take care over their movements and are often found thoughtfully enjoying their
cocktail.'
