Definitely get a Cosmopolitan or Cran and Vodka. If anyone asks if you're on your period, bash their head with the glass.

But if I'm gay do I have to drink it????

Yeah basically you're required to drink Bud Light and shop at Target.

monkey d.

Erdinger on tap, not so much bottled (while visiting Berlin) was my all time fav..until I fell to IPA darkness...

Bruh the IPA madness took my soul for years…lately I’m all about the pale ales, less intense but more dimension to the flavor.  Either that or I have a developed a full blown hops dependency 🤪

I can’t stand Bud, Miller, Coors. Only light beer I’ve ever been able to drink is Natty Light. A sip of that gets me ready to be completely ignorant for for the next few hours.

I enjoy Leinenkugel’s shandys. Both the original and the peach are great.

I’ve tried for years to get into IPA’s but can’t stand them.

For alcohol, I prefer either sipping whiskey (funny because I hated it in college) or drinking High Noons. I fucking love High Noons. 100 calories and 4.5%, and they taste amazing.

Not a White Claw fan. Cutwater is too strong imo. Tequila tastes like shit to me, even a nice anejo.

 

Praise Natty for bad decision making.

I really dislike bud light.  And miller light, and coors, etc.  Give me the hopsiest, dankest, imperial IPA you have.  Outside of that, my whisk(e)y style of choice is rye, and my cocktail of choice is a negroni.  Oh, and I also drive a Miata and enjoy gay butsecks. 

About the drinking at a work event thing:  Don't, or drink the minimum amount to be social.  Under no circumstances should you get drunk, even if it's an open bar with unlimited top-shelf liquor.  I've seen people get fired at company christmas parties.  Don't let that be you.  A weekend in the drunk tank might be hide-able (don't ask me how I know) but that won't.

The only difference between Asset Management and Investment Research is assets. I generally see somebody I know on TV on Bloomberg/CNBC etc. once or twice a week. This sounds cool, until I remind myself that I see somebody I know on ESPN five days a week.

Do you top or bottom? Is position correlated with superior returns?

Side, mostly. My days of f***ing every twink from here to boston are behind me.  And given that the strategies I help run are all top decile in since inception returns (I've been with them the whole time, and one is pushing top 1% in the Large Blend cat) I'm going to say probably.
