Cosmopolitans and Cosmimosas - a way of life

I know I've mentioned this in previous posts, but I felt that an entire post dedicated to this was important. People can be defined by their drinks. The chart I made for class shows a broad definition of that and this is the first post in a line of many defining a specific drink by the people who drink it.

Women specifically can be stereotyped by the drinks they order. Women, specifically younger ones, often drinkrenise, or synchronize the drinks they order, thus causing me to pass the same judgement on all of them. (It's really easier that way, then I don't have to think up individual reasons to dislike them)

A cosmopolitan or a raspberry cosmimosa is the perfect personality tests. Women of all ages love the variations of this drink (thanks Sex and the City).

The younger cosmo/cosmimosa drinkers are more often than not sorority sisters, carrying some type of designer bag and all having straightened hair. They see this drink as "grown-up," but still flirtatious, which lends itself to coyly smiling at the man passed out on the bar who they think is looking at them. (His eyes are just rolled back in his head, he's not looking at you)



The type of older women who generally order raspberry cosmimosas, while there are always exceptions, are usually past prom queens, who also deem it necessary to sit and talk about every other person in the bar and who wear incredibly too much make-up - you're 35 honey, and married, so stop looking at the group of boys celebrating their friends 21st birthday.

Now I don't mean to sound like bitch, I myself have enjoyed a cosmimosa before. There are always the women who are exceptions, some women genuinely like cosmimosas, not just the reputation that comes with drinking them.

But as a standard, most of the women who come in and order any variation of a cosmo are all be cut from the same cloth and basically need to be told the same thing - proms over and no one cares if you met the entire cast of the Hills.
