What Your Spirit of Choice Says About You

Horoscopes are usually told by an astrological or zodiac sign, but since no scientific studies have shown support for the accuracy of horoscopes, this is based on tradition rather than anything else. Who is to say that you couldn’t get just as accurate – or even more accurate – fortunes from some other source. For instance, your choice of liquor says a lot more about you than you might think and it’s probably a lot more accurate than the usual horoscope that you might find in the newspaper. Huffington Post put together the list with 12 popular base spirits. What’s your drink of choice?

Vodka: You are just as hard to pin down as actual vodka, vodka drinker. Choosing the neutrally-flavored spirit as your favorite could say a few different things about you:

1) You are new to drinking and don’t like the flavor of alcohol that much.
2) You are a little too familiar with drinking and don’t need to taste it anyway.
3) You are a Russian or Ukrainian grandparent and you are at brunch.

Bourbon: You recognize the value of hard work, and hold the reward for that hard work in high regard. When you love, you love all the way, but when you don’t, you make it quite clear. Your friends looks forward to your arrival at the party, but understand when you can’t make it. You know, because you’ve been working so hard.

Gin: You believe that in order to be truly creative, you have to learn the classics. You fold easily into most social situations, and can always find some interest in common to discuss with most people. Spring is your favorite season.

Tequila: Let’s all agree on one great paradox of human behavior: if someone tells you that tequila is their favorite liquor, you suspect that they are emotionally unstable. If, however, someone tells you that their favorite cocktail is a margarita, you just expect that they like to kick back and relax. With salsa. You are a beautiful paradox, tequila lover.

Moonshine: You have seen some s**t in your day. You like to keep things simple, work with your hands, and probably have a shed. Your grandfather might have called you Squirt, and you can fry anything to perfection.

Rye: You always need to do things just a little bit better than everyone else. You eat a little better, study a little harder, and party like a champion. You probably own a pair of suspenders or a vintage clutch, but it was before the hipsters got into that, or whatever.
