    Thought this was interesting. I probably consume Crown, 1800 (or Espolon, but that's not on here) and jager (I know) the most. So while they are on both sides of the dem-rep spectrum, they do reflect my lack of voting.

    I drink Jim Beam, Patron and Skyy Vodka.. I don't have the time to look at this sh/t. Where do my drinks fall?

    I'm an independent/libertarian oriented man who rarely votes

    Edit: I looked at it, Two on Repubs(Beam and Skyy) and One on Dem (Patron)- 2 low vote turn-out and one right above low vote turnout

    So many funny details in the graph.

    Smoking Loon or whatever is my favorite instance. (And no, I never drink it.)

    I'm a brown liquor man myself, but I lean left politically.

    I'm a "high turnout" Democrat, and enjoy Hornitos, a "low turnout" Republican tequila. I like Glenlivit, (a bit on the GOP side in this contraption of a graph) although it's not my favorite single malt, not by a long shot. Kalua on occasion, since my "high turnout" Democratic Significant Other likes it, and it's supposedly enjoyed by Republicans (but not Democrats?), Jameson and Bailey's, Democratic beverages. I like Myer's rum in a Cuba Libre, a "brown liquor," which should fit on the GOP side of this equation. I'm supposed to enjoy Moet & Chandon, but it's far from my favorite champange. I don't drink most of the offerings shown, having broadened my horizons quite some time ago. Does anyone really think this is accurate to any degree?

    OP, it doesn't really fit me!

    I thought the GOP didn't like brown?

    I have failed

    :(

    Lol. It would take 30 seconds to see where you drink(s) fall on the graph.

    Damn lazy libertarians.
