What Your Drinking Habits Say About Your Social Skills
Do you enjoy alcoholic drinks? What’s your go-to? Your choice can say a lot about your taste and personality—and it might even hint at your social skills. If you’re curious, take this quick test to see how good you are at making friends.
Test question: Pick the type of alcohol you like most from the list below, then check your result.
A. Beer
If you like beer, you’re laid-back and easy to get along with. People find you approachable and tend to warm up to you quickly. You’re sociable and sincere with friends. When they’re in a bind, you step up—and when you face challenges, they’re there for you too.
B. Baijiu
If you prefer baijiu, you’re highly social and enjoy meeting new people. Your circle is wide, and you’re open to connecting with anyone you find appealing, often sharing your thoughts and feelings. Still, be discerning—not everyone will match your level of sincerity.
C. Red Wine
If you like red wine, you’re calm and practical, and you tend to be careful with money—something others might interpret as being a bit too frugal. You’re meticulous in your work and cautious in friendships, often wanting to know someone well before getting close. Friends may see you as outgoing yet tight with money, and financial disagreements can strain or even end friendships.
D. White Wine
If you enjoy white wine, you’re emotional and idealistic, often viewing the world through a hopeful lens that can be a little unrealistic. You may stumble into friendship traps because your guard is down, which makes you vulnerable to being taken advantage of. Even so, you’re a strong collaborator.
E. Champagne
If you prefer champagne, you naturally gravitate toward luxury and status. You like to elevate your social standing through your network, which can make it hard for those who don’t meet your criteria to become close friends. Because your friendships can be goal-driven, some may see you as insincere, leaving you with a smaller circle of confidants.
F. Cocktails
If you enjoy cocktails, you’re talented and capable, with polished manners and a balanced approach to most things. In social settings, you value quality over quantity. You don’t try to please everyone, and you rarely offend. You believe a few true friends are enough, and you have your own distinctive way of navigating relationships.
G. Non-drinker
If you don’t drink, you tend to be conservative, introverted, and sensitive, with a touch of shyness. You may find it hard to express your thoughts and feelings, which can make meeting new people challenging. You often feel uneasy striking up conversations with strangers.
