Rather like Bond's liking his drink shaken, not stirred (or is it the other way round?), one may wish to proffer ones preference for imbibing in general: are you a slurper or a sipper? The sage of Omaha may have a decent tie but no way I'd slurp (guzzle?) my drink in that fashion, plus it's 15 - 20 years since that kind of fizzy abomination passed my lips and the last time was on a blazing hot day in Mexico coming down from one of the Mayan temples and I was dying of thirst, so even I am mortal. And yes, I guess I did guzzle it down rather sharpish. In general though drinking any liquid from the bottle isn't my style, and since this is a rather Thai / tie-obsessed forum I like my Singha, Chang or whatever beer I am drinking drunk from a glass perhaps with a little ice as I do like my beer cold and it warms up ever so quickly in Thailand, and no, I seldom sport a Windsor knot, indeed the size of my knot varies according to my mood.
