Do you know the difference between blended or single barrel whiskey? Tennessee or Irish whiskey? Straight or gay whiskey (OK, gay whiskey is called cognac.)

You wouldn’t be caught dead drinking a cosmo, but all your friends will be drinking these at your funeral.

11. Irish Car Bomb
Why is it manly?: What’s manlier than going mano-a-beero with a pint of the world’s thickest stout mixed with a shot of whiskey? Knowing that if you don’t chug it fast enough, you’ll be downing chunks of curdled Bailey’s cream.
Recipe:
3/4 pint Guinness stout

It’s a sparkling wine that usually has a crisp minerally flavor balanced with some fresh fruit notes. Prosecco is the name of the grape used and it is grown in the Valdobbiadene/Conegliano region in Italy. It’s usually a cheaper alternative to Champagne and your dumbass friends won’t know the difference. Especially if your dumbass friend is named Paris Hilton.
