Editor’s note: All this week we’ll be sharing our most popular posts of the year, in case you missed them the first time around. This post was originally published in July. Enjoy!

What you order on a date can definitely send a signal, whether or not it’s one you’re conscious of. Sure, the list below is mainly full of generalizations, but there’s some truth to every stereotype…

Martini: If you’re a guy, you’re trying to impress (and it’s probably working). If you’re a girl drinking a dirty martini, you’re a hot mess: the dirtier, the messier, the hotter.

Vodka on the Rocks: Too self-conscious to actually order a martini.

White Russian: Obsessed with The Big Lebowski, and probably The Daily Show. Or, you just like to drink dessert.

Bud Light: You’re easy going, laid back, and at home at a sports bar. If you’re a girl, you know how to hang with the guys.

Stella Artois: You have no particular knowledge or affinity towards beer so you just order “Stella” cause it’s familiar.

Lillet/Campari/Aperol: You’re twee, and possibly like to throw around words like “mixology.”

Vodka Cranberry: When in doubt, you stick to what you drank in college.

White Wine: You’re definitely a woman. You’re possibly a little uptight.

Prosecco: You’re often a little uptight, but tonight you’re looking to party.

Whiskey, neat: You’re hot. Regardless of gender.

Jager: Secretly wishing you were hanging out with your buddies.

Vodka Gimlet: You’re a huge dork, but you hope sort of in a cool way?

Appletini: You’ve left the kids with a sitter and you’re ready to have fun!

Pimm’s Cup: You’re an Anglophile.

Old-Fashioned: Mad Men is your favorite show: you either want to be, or have sex with, Don Draper.

Margarita, on the rocks: You’ve decided to have a good time tonight.

Margarita, frozen: You’re in Cabo.

PBR: You’re drinking quickly on your way to a non-profit fundraiser, followed by a poetry reading in a former industrial warehouse.

Tequila Shots: You’re either getting laid, or just getting through it.

Long Island Iced Tea: You have a drinking problem.

A beer, while at a Cocktail Bar: Overprotective of your manhood or unadventurous.

A cocktail, while at a dive bar: Insufferable.
