When you’re sitting at a bar with your lady friend (or a lady you hope to make your lady friend), there’s always that moment of indecision. Do you stick with your tried-and-true hoppy delight (aka Bud Light), or are do you branch out and be a little bold? A little advice for you guys… go BOLD.  Drinks make awesome conversation topics…as long as you’ve picked the right one. To help you break the ice, here’s a round up of Hollywood’s most conversation-worthy drinks—and what they say about you.

1. White Russian (The Big Lebowski)

You lead a simple life and enjoy simple things, like ill-fitting bathrobes and drinks that don’t need to be measured out (or really taste like alcohol at all). Someday, you think. Someday I will drink Scotch. But today is not that day. And tonight is probably not your night.

2. Daiquiri (The 40-Year-Old Virgin)

Unless you are at a beach bar on a very sunny tropical island (the kind where everyone runs around topless because who cares what anyone else thinks), here at Reel Sex we highly recommend staying away from this drink if you’re trying to chat up a lady. To expand on that: There should be no possibility of umbrellas in your drink.

3. Vodka martini (every James Bond movie ever)

The only reason you’re not wearing a tuxedo right now is because all five of yours are at the cleaners. If you order it true James-Bond style (Three measures of Gordon’s, one of vodka, half a measure of Kina Lillet. Shake very well until ice-cold, then add a large, thin slice of lemon), you know exactly what you want, and you’ll get it, too. Did you ever see 007 having any trouble with the ladies? He even landed the ones who were trying to kill him.

4. German beers (Beerfest)

A carefully chosen pint shows you have some knowledge of what you’re drinking. A stein indicates you plan to run on the stuff like a Suburban runs on gas.

5. Any champagne cocktail (Casablanca), preferably one made from dry Champagne, brandy, a sugar cube and bitters

You’re a gent who enjoys the finer things in life (Champagne) while exuding an independent masculinity (the fact that you would mix it with brandy). Or, you’ve seen Casablanca and desperately wish you were Humphrey Bogart. Either way, here’s lookin’ at you, kid.

6. Jagermeister (The Hangover)

You had a really rough week, had a really great week or lost a bet. Any way you spin it, it’s going to be one of those nights you’re not planning to remember. Better warn the bar now.

7. Absinthe (Moulin Rouge).

See number six.

8. Scotch (Anchorman)

You are a man. The manliest of manly men. You wrestled an alligator last week…just because you felt like it. Your chest hair is a work of art. Women’s inhibitions get lost in the cloud of testosterone radiating off your perfectly chiseled body. Is—is that Sex Panther I smell?

Okay gentlemen.  Start your engines.  We’ve prepared you for ordering drinks like a champ.  Go get that girl!
