Confirming What We Already Knew

A survey of 100 bartenders in the Washington D.C. area by Beam Global Spirits & Wine reports that Democrats are better tippers, while Republicans are harder drinkers. The survey also found that Republicans were more likely to order drinks straight, while Democrats were more likely to order mixed drinks. (Insert lame joke about effete liberals here.)

But is this a long-term trend or merely the result of the current political climate? It’s no surprise that Republicans are drowning their sorrows in sweet, sweet booze. (The bottle won’t judge you, Ted Stevens.) Nor is it any surprise that Democrats are more at ease throwing around some cash at the moment. I would like to see a comprehensive study spanning at least a decade to get the real scoop on this phenomenon.
