Current Events > is mike's hard lemonade a girly drink?

(+) Yeah! (+)

i love cracking open a cold one and getting hard with the boys

i tried mikes hard lemonade for the first time in my life last summer
i got a case with 4 different flavors
4 lemon, 4 grapefruit, 4 black cherry and i forget what the last flavor was

the grapefruit one tastes just like fresca
it was good.

anyway my favorite girly drink is the singapore sling. its delicious
and fun fact it didnt start out as a girly drink. but over time because the grenadine in it turns it pink it slowly became a girly drink

Stop worrying about that. It is garbage in a bottle tho

I'm not a big fan of describing drinks as girly. Drink what you like. That said if we were going to assign genders to beverages you'd definitely be drinking a girly drink.

I love when my friends come over and we all Get Hard, nothing better than hanging out with your best buds and seeing they all have Hard Ones

If To Catch A Predator has taught me anything it's that Mike's Hard Lemonade is the official beverage of pedophiles.

it's androgynous.

The "manliest" drinks tend to be light beer, shitty whiskey designed to be mixed with cola, and scotch. Thanks marketing and toxic masculinity.

I can't stand the taste of beer. Im not gonna gag on normal beer just to make people on CE happy. I drink flavored beers like Mike's, hard rootbeer or angry orchard cider

the thing with drinking a "Mike's" is that you can make the same drink with vodka and juice almost every time and not have to deal with the social ramifications.

Especially with what drinks get categorized.

I've seen people call Long Island Iced Tea girly, and that shit could probably power a car.

or you can drink it in your apartment alone and nobody sees it.

not really a fan of calling drinks girly or manly. football is considered manly and that's advertised with bud/coors light. to me mike's hard is the taste equivalent to mixing a liquor with a soda, which i don't think anyone considers girly.

drinking 2 bottles of mikes hard lemonade in your apartment while watching a movie, is not alcholism. just cause you have a drink in your home instead of in a bar, doesn't mean you have a problem.

It's whatever you wanna drink. It absolutely is garbage in a bottle (seriously, look at a Leinenkugel Shandy if you want a great fruity beer that's not just syrup and alcohol) but it's neither masculine or feminine.

Eh, I ain't gonna shit on the guy who brings it but I think its pretty cringey. Its baby's first beer pretty much.

Almost any drink that tastes good or is fruit flavored is considered girly unfortunately.

Next to last option made me laugh hard.

100%

who cares though

people insecure in their masculinity, ironically enough.

This also goes for the guys who shame other guys for enjoying a Mike's.

I remember Mike's hard lemonade as the 15 year old's first alcohol.
