Did you know people see gin-and-tonic drinkers as sexy, while martini drinkers are labelled the most serious? Find out if you're a champagne Charlie or more of a Bloody Mary in our guide to discovering your signature beverage.
Cosmopolitan
So, you've seen Sex and The City a few too many times and just go straight for the cocktail you recognise on the menu. Men see women who drink Cosmos as high-maintenance and think they are trying to look sophisticated. Maybe you really love cranberry juice - ever think of that, guys?
Martini
If a man orders a martini, it's very difficult to escape the James Bond associations -so beware unless you're a dead ringer for Daniel Craig. Female martini drinkers are thought of as serious and potentially hard work!
Whisky
Order a whisky straight up or on the rocks and, if you're a man, you may be perceived as slightly scruffy, downbeat and possibly a bit of a heavy or regular drinker. Interestingly, men see women who order whisky as intelligent and individual.
Pina Colada
Do you want your date to think you're an urbane, sexy, man-about-town? Probably best to give the OTT pina colada a miss then. If you're a true individual and don't care what people think, get stuck in!
Champagne
Drinking a bottle of champagne with your lover is pure romance. However, if you order a glass of champagne on a first date, a man is likely to think the woman ordering it is a dreamy fantasist, a gold-digger and maybe even a bit pretentious.
Rum and coke
Can't be bothered to think about a cool cocktail or obscure beer to order at the bar? Rum and coke drinkers are seen as laid back and fun to be with - no thinking necessary!
Bloody Mary
Start your evening off with a Bloody Mary and other people may think you're still recovering from the night before. Start munching on the celery in your drink and you may end up sitting on your own!
Gin and tonic
Most people see gin and tonic drinkers as sexy and playful. Remember that less is more - nobody looks desirable after seven of the things!
Red wine
A woman who sees a man drinking red wine may think he's health-conscious but also that he appreciates good food. A man whose date orders red wine will perceive her as sensual and warm. This one's a safe bet for either sex!
Margarita
Like to drink your margarita with a plate of fajitas or nachos in front of you? Absolutely no problem - it's the right place to indulge. Order one at your local bar at your peril - you're more than likely to be perceived as dull and unadventurous.
Manhattan
Mixed messages are the side order to any Manhattan. This combination of bourbon, vermouth and bitters was once the classic drink of the older, wiser boozehound. Recently it's become big on the A-list bar scene, so order this one if you want your date to think you're a hipster.

My tipple is orange juice and what this says about me is that due to medication for arthritis I am not allowed to drink alcohol.
