For decades, drinking has been associated with a Mad Men-esque philosophy. While, sure, women have been Xanaxing themselves to make it through the day since the beginning of time, drinking was often reserved for the men. From office bar clients to client dinners to happy hours with the boss, drinking and business have gone hand in hand. Until recently, men were always the primary workers in the household, it also makes sense that they did most of the drinking as well. That is, until now.
Ever since we’ve started leaving the kitchen and trading it in for the break room, millennial women have now officially closed the drinking gap that’s existed between women and men since, well, ever. These results were verified by analyzing the results of not one, not two, but 64 studies tracking gender preferences toward drinking through 2014, and the results are conclusive – we love to drink. Whereas men in the previous generation drank 2.2 times as much as women, that number has fallen down to only 1.1 times as much and has almost evened out completely.
Whether you’re With Her in the polls, the results are in, and you’ll definitely be with her at the bars because we’ve tasted the good stuff (read: wine) and we’re never going back. Career woman or stay-at-home mom, we know we’ll all at least find ourselves back in the kitchen at some point, if only to pull another bottle of Chardonnay out of our wine cooler. So ladies, bottoms up – after the day you’ve had at work, you deserve it. .

But what are the Top 10 cities for women to drink in?
Top 10 cities for *millenial women to drink in
She posts an article that isn’t a list, and she still gets shat on. C’mon man, baby steps.
Don’t encourage her
Probably fucking Detroit.
Or Cleveland
Happy to do my part to close the drinking gap between men and women. Bottoms up.
Sup
Happy Hour?
still have yet to meet a woman who likes scotch..i think when i do i’d probably pull a ted mosby and tell her i love her on the first date.
I see my compliment i paid you is already paying dividends and this is not a list article. GG
I’ve been drinking bourbon and whiskey since I was 16, worked in fancy bars with nice liquors I’ve had the privilege of trying (but couldn’t afford…PGP), and am open to a lot of tastes, but even I cannot make the transition to scotch. It’s too harsh and it’s not used in many cocktails so I think you’re going to be hard pressed to find a girl whose go-to is that unless you introduce her to it yourself. Good luck!
to any boozehound woman who stumbles into the comment section, sup?
Heyyy
*googles “bars close to central perk NYC”*
also Heyyy
I’m so hungover right now that I can’t be anywhere near proud of this.
Name checks out
Since women get more drunk on the same amount of alcohol, does this mean women are getting drunker than men?
Red Wine…..? Chardonny?? Pfftt….No thanks, I’ll have another double Jameson neat, or maybe a La Fin Du Monde, or I’ll make Margaritas.. but wine…? Uh…fuck no.
