WHO SETS the BAR WHEN it COMES to COCKTAILS: DEMOCRATS or REPUBLICANS?

WHILE THERE IS NO BALLOT BOX at the bar, DC’s best bartenders can identify political preference by cocktail selection and bar behavior. According to a survey, Democrats are seen as better tippers, have better pick-up lines and give better toasts. Republicans heavily outweigh Democrats when it comes to ordering their drink straight up. Parties are at a stalemate over drinking hours, with Republicans edging out for the first to arrive to a happy hour and Democrats being the last to go home.
The survey was issued  by Beam Global Spirits & Wine, in collaboration with Clarus Research Group. Approximately 1OO bartenders in the Washington, DC area were surveyed on their opinions of patrons’ cocktail preferences.
