Jessica, I'm not sure why a regular martini qualifies as "manly." But I associate it with post-WWII, pre-1970s energy crisis white collar men who either had nice suburban homes with nice suburban families, or who tried to live the Playboy Fantasy until they obtained a nice suburban etc. In other words, men who would be pretty metrosexual by today's standards.
And if you want a James Bond tie-in to give a cocktail manliness cred, that martini should have vodka and not gin.
Do you mean she sits herself up and holds it, or holds it if you sit her up?
Meaning she pulls herself to seated? No. We get her sitting and she can hold that position. Then she face plants. Which might be the reason she's mad.

I gotta say--I'm on Gracie's side on this one. In the short term, you're big meanies. Poor thing's too wee for the long game.
Vodka martinis are not martinis.
I mostly agree with this commenter
Christ on a crutch! How about just plain whiskey neat or on the rocks?
and I say this as someone who has almost always been an old man type drinker.
Also, we mixed moonshine with lime Kool-aid or whatever the Big Star equivilant is.
yeah, some of those drinks....I would not call them manly. More....frat boy. Seriously, jager and gatorade??
I'm at the Cincinati airport! On the internet! The world is magical!
I'm not eating, so I don't know if the food is crap.
I don't think anything called a cocktail can also be called manly. WHICH IS NOT TO SAY they aren't for men!
Possibly I'm conflating manly with guy-like or laddish or something, as I think about it a little bit more.

Everclear and Kool-Aid, the drink of fucked-up highschoolers.

Anything involving Jager has frat-boy associations for me.
Where was the Chartreuse? Now that is a drink that takes some cojones to drink.
Anything involving Jager has frat-boy associations for me.
Me, too. Plus, I think it is gross. And I think frat boys like it cause it is gross, and has a funny name.
Would drinking rubbing alcohol or something else that will cause blindness be manly?
Or maybe I'm wondering if being self-destructive is manly.
Oh, and I see a lot of personals ads where the woman is looking for a "real man." Not entirely sure what that is, but I'm sure I'm not one.
