GEMINI - Drinking style - Geminis can drink without changing their
behavior much-they're so naturally chatty and short-attention-spanned
that it's just hard to tell sometimes. They can amaze you by conversing
with finesse and allusion, then doing something to belie an extremely
advanced state of intoxication, like puking in your shoe. Geminis
possess the magic ability to flirt successfully (and uninfuriatingly
which is very tricky) with several people at once. They like to order
different cocktails every round-repetition is boring-and may create a
theme (like yellow drinks: beer, sauvignon blanc and limoncello) for
their own amusement.
Oh so true!

ARIES - Drinking style - Impulsive Aries people like to party and
sometimes don't know when to call it a night. Their competitive streak
makes them prone to closing-time shot contests. They're sloppy, fun
drunks, and they get mighty flirty after a couple tipples. Getting
Aries people drunk is a good way to get what you want out of them,
should other methods fail. Aries can become bellicose when blotto, but
they will assume that whatever happened should be forgiven (if not
forgotten) by sunrise. They can be counted on to do the same for you-so
long as you haven't gone and done anything really horrible to them last
night you sneaky Gemini.
TAURUS - Drinking style - Taurus prefers to
drink at a leisurely pace aiming for a mellow glow rather than a
full-on zonk. Since a truly intoxicated Taurus is a one-person
stampede, the kind of bull-in-a-china-shop inebriate who spills red
wine on white carpets and tells fart jokes to employers, the preference
for wining and dining (or Bud and buddies) to body shots and barfing is
quite fortunate for the rest of us. This is not to say that the Bull is
by any means a teetotaler-god, no. A squiffy Taurus will get, er,
gregarious (full of loudmouth soup, some would say) and is extremely
amusing to drag to a karaoke bar when intoxicated.

CANCER - Drinking style - Cancer is a comfort drinker-and an
extra wine with dinner or an after-work beer or six can be extra
comforting can't it, Cancer darling? Like fellow water signs Scorpio
and Pisces Crabs must guard against lushery. Cancers are brilliant at
ferreting out secret parties and insinuating themselves on VIP
lists-and, in true Hollywood style, Cancers are never really drunk;
instead, they get "tired and emotional" (read: weepy when lubricated).
But there's nothing better than swapping stories (and spit) over a few
bottles of inky red wine with your favorite Cancer. Even your
second-favorite Cancer will do. The sign also rules the flavor vanilla,
and you'd be adored if you served up a vanilla vodka and soda.
LEO -
Drinking style - Leo likes to drink and dance-they're often fabulous
dancers, and usually pretty good drinkers as well, losing their
commanding dignity and turning kittenish. Of course, they're quite
aware they're darling - Leos will be Leos, after all. They generally
know their limit, probably because they loathe losing self-control.
When they get over-refreshed, expect flirting to ensue-and perhaps not
with the one what brung them. But Leo's not the type to break rules
even when drunk, so just try to ignore it (try harder, Cancer) and
expect a sheepish (and hung over) Lion to make it up to you the next
day.
VIRGO - Drinking style - Cerebral Virgos are compelled to impose
order onto their bender. Their famously fussy quest
for purity could lead to drinking less than other signs, sure-but it
could also lead to drinking booze neat, to sucking down organic wine or
just to brand loyalty They rarely get fully shellacked * but, oh, when
they do! Virgo's controlled by the intellect, but there's an unbridled
beast lurking within and they let it loose when walloped. It's dead
sexy (and surprisingly unsloppy). As one Virgo friend used to declare,
"I'm going to drink myself into a low level of intelligence tonight." A
toast to the subgenius IQ!>
LIBRA - Drinking style - "I'm jusht a
social drinker," slurs Libra "it's just that I'm so damn social!" Libra
loves nothing more than to party, mingle and relate to everyone.
Whether dipped in favor of Good Libra (with Insta-Friend device set to
"on") or heavier on the Evil Libra side (they are little instigators
when bored), the Scales can really work a room. Charming as they are,
Libras are notoriously lacking in self-control, however, which can get
them into all sorts of trouble-including wearing their wobbly boots
waaaay too early in the evening, flirting with their best friend's beau
or even blacking out the night's events entirely. Oops!
SCORPIO -
Drinking style - Don't ever tell Scorpios they've had enough for
they'll smirk at you and quietly but intentionally keep tippling till
they're hog-whimpering drunk, out of 100-proof spite. Scorpios like to
drink, and screw you if you have a problem with that. Most of them see
the sauce as something to savor in itself, and not as a
personality-altering tool-though if depressed, self-loathing Scorps
seek total obliteration. But generally, they're fascinating drinking
pals brilliant conversationalists and dizzying flirts. They also
remember everything-especially what you did when you were blitzed. Only
drink with a Scorpio who likes you.
SAGITTARIUS - Drinking style - In
vino veritas-and, for Sagittarius, in booze blurtiness: When buttered,
they'll spill all your secrets and many of their own. Tactlessness
aside, Sagittarius is just plain fun to drink with. This is a sign of
serious partying (what else would you expect from the sign of Sinatra,
Keith Richards, the Bush twins and Anna Nicole Smith?). They're the
people who chat up everyone in the room, then persuade the entire crowd
to travel somewhere else-like a nightclub, or a playground, or Cancun.
Good-natured hijinks are sure to ensue (including a high possibility of
loopy groping; spontaneous Sag is a brilliant booty call).
CAPRICORN -
Drinking style - Capricorn is usually described as practical,
steadfast, money-hungry and status-thirsty-no wonder they get left off
the astrological cocktail-party list. But this is the sign of David
Bowie and Annie Lennox, not to mention Elvis. Capricorn is the true
rock star: independent, powerful and seriously charismatic not too
eager to please. And if they make money being themselves, who are you
to quibble? But just like most rock stars, they're either totally on or
totally off, and they generally need a little social lubricant to
loosen up and enjoy the after party, especially if they can hook up
with a cute groupie.
AQUARIUS - Drinking style - Aquarius and drinking
don't go together that well (except for water, that is). They have an
innate tendency toward know-it-allism, and if they get an idea while
sizzled, they're more stubborn than a stain or a stone. If they're
throwing a party or organizing an outing, however, they're too
preoccupied with their duties to get combative-and they make perfectly
charming drunks in that case Fortunately, they're usually capital
drink-nursers. They also make the best designated drivers (if you can
get them before they start raising their wrist): Aquarius is fascinated
by drunk people and capable of holding interesting conversations with
soused strangers while sober.
PISCES - Drinking style - If you're a
Pisces, you've probably already heard that you share a sign and an
addictive personality-with Liz Taylor, Liza Minelli and Kurt Cobain.
Not only do Pisces like to lose themselves in the dreamy, out-there
feeling that
only hooch can give but they build up a mighty tolerance fast. Who
needs an expensive date like that? On the other hand, they're
fabulously enchanting partners whether in conversation or in crime.
With the right Pisces, you can start out sharing a pitcher of
margaritas and wind up in bed together for days. The phrase "addictive
personality" can be read two ways you know.>
