Real Men Don't Share Drinks!

This has been such a blah weekend with blah weather that has put me in a blah mood. While I do love this time of the year, it's also the time when people start to go into hibernation. I was at home, bored as could be when I was rescued by a phone call.

Fast forward to the bar.

It was quite crowded in this place. Much more crowded than I expected it to be. So, I'm sitting there  enjoying conversation and company, perusing the bar when I glance to my right and see two men sharing a Scorpion Bowl. [Umm.........O-K] It struck me as a little odd but I went on about my business, drinking my strong Asian concoction. A considerable amount of time passes and I happen to look in that direction again and there is a nice fresh Scorpion Bowl sitting between these two fellas. (At this point my companion leans over and says, "That should be your next blog post."....so here you go)

When did men start sharing drinks? Females will share drinks all day or take a sip from their girl (which makes a germaphobe like me quite squeamish) and think nothing of it. In all my years, I've NEVER seen one man take a sip from another mans glass. Nor have I ever seen another man swig another mans beer. I damn sure have NEVER seen two men share a drink, never mind a "girly" drink. They sell Scorpion Bowls for one.

Is men sharing drinks a new thing? If so, when did that start?
