The one between three and three.
let me break it down
my first point was he was trying to make having a strawberry flavored drink be effeminate
i responded by saying, so having strawberry flavored pastries or whatever is ok, but you dont feel comfortable asking for a strawberry flavored drink.
he then responds by suggesting that just because a man doesnt mind drinking a daiquiri, that somehow means he cant contain himself when it comes to liquors with larger proof %.
So, i posed the question to him, if a daiquiri and a long island iced tea (that doesnt actually contain tea in the ingredients) have the same liquor content, whats the issue? Is tea considered to be effeminate? I mean, after all, when women gossip with one another, they often refer to it as "tea".
You went wrong by thinking I was calling strawberry flavored drinks effeminate. We talking about fruity shits in general, not just strawberries.
I also made an exception to that with Cisco, 20/20, and assorted other rot-gut types of fortified wines.
My assertion is that only men that haven't acquired a taste for straight liquor drink that fruity shit on the regular and in public no less aka "getting your liquor legs".
Beer is a whole other category. Beer is acceptable, malt liquor is passable but your character comes into question. But when we get to fruity malt shit like the aforementioned Mikes Hard Lemonade, Lime-a-Rita, Smirnoff Ice, etc then the above rules apply. What you drink inside ya crib by yourself is on you as long as nobody else knows. Shit, my wife had me taste some lil fruity shits we got at the store a few months ago... can't remember what it was but after I took a sip she was like "This the kinda shit no man should ever get caught ordering at the bar or drinking anywhere in public".
Stew got clowned for that Lime-a-Rita we saw in his fridge.
