Gay Men Like Vodka, Lesbians Love Tequila

The statistics are in and the big winner is anyone who happens to market vodka–especially gay vodka. With gay men, a whopping 45% of those surveyed drink it. (With straight men, it’s only 26%.)

Meanwhile, 29% of gays admit to drinking rum.

And 27% say they like cordials and liqueurs.

Everyone else is either a recovering alcoholic or a liar.

As for lesbians, their tastes are slightly different. Why?

Because lesbians are not only all different from each other, just like snowflakes, but they’re extremely different from gay men, linked only in their humanity, their homosexuality, and their love of stripes and polka dots.

For lesbos, 44% like vodka (as opposed to 25% of straight women).

27% enjoy cordials.

And 22% guzzle rum.

So actually, they’re not all that different, except for one thing: Tequila is life’s blood to them.

35% of the polled lesbians slurp the stuff down as if it were the heavens’ rain, way more than gay men, straight men, and straight women would ever imagine doing, even when severely parched.
