Transcript
Speaker A:

Good morning.

Speaker A:

It's haystack and a study from Tinder finds that folks are not opposed to necessarily having a drink on the first day.

Speaker A:

I realize that alcohol is a no go on the first date for some people, but for some it can calm their nerves, it can open them up a little bit.

Speaker A:

And this new survey from Tinder finds that 57% of people have at least one alcoholic beverage on a first date.

Speaker A:

Not only did they survey them about whether they drink, but also about your first drink.

Speaker A:

Your go to drink options.

Speaker A:

I'm not talking about sparkling water here.

Speaker A:

Your go to drink options.

Speaker A:

The top 10.

Speaker A:

I'll start at number 10 and go to number one, the old fashioned, the whiskey sour a spirit like scotch on the rocks, daiquiris, pina coladas, mimosas.

Speaker A:

What is it with all the beach stuff?

Speaker A:

Number four, martini.

Speaker A:

And those were all 10, 11, 12%.

Speaker A:

Number four, martini.

Speaker A:

And then the top three kind of rise above a fourth of people said a glass of wine, nearly a third said a shot of something and right at a third said a margarita is a solid pick.

Speaker A:

This survey also finds that the the people on a first date who come across as the most confident are those who choose a classic margarita, a shot or a drink neat like scotch with no ice.

Speaker A:

And well, boy, will you need to pound at least one or maybe a dozen of these drinks.

Speaker A:

If you experience anything from my list of the top six signs you're gonna need a drink on a first date.

Speaker A:

Well, gather round folks.

Speaker A:

It's the time of day when we laugh and smile in a light hearted way.

Speaker A:

Tune in for the giggles and let's kick back.

Speaker A:

Here comes the fun.

Speaker A:

It's the morning six pack.

Speaker A:

The top six signs you need a drink on the first date.

Speaker A:

Number six, she's wearing a T shirt that number five he arrives on a skateboard.

Speaker A:

Number four, she asks the waitress you accept meth as a tip.

Speaker A:

Number three, within the first minute of meeting he says Daddy like.

Speaker A:

Number two, she goes by her gamer handle HerpesVixen69.

Speaker A:

And the number one sign you might need a drink on that very first date, he suddenly ducks underneath the table and whispers.

Speaker A:

He it's my wife, Cheater.
