Shaken.

Mostly Ds: You're The Dude from The Big Lebowski. You're a laid-back bachelor, who just likes to go to his favorite bar (the one in the bowling alley) and drink his signature drink, without a lot of fuss. Your lax nature sometimes lands you in some wacky situations, and you've gotten yourself into a drunken fight or two, but you're generally a good-natured drinker, albeit a bit lazy. You simply like to kick back with a nice sweet beverage, let it drip from your scraggy beard and enjoy yourself. Your drink: a White Russian.

Mostly Es: You're Mad Men's Don Draper. You're the mysterious, brusque king of cocktails, who kills it in the boardroom by day, stays well hydrated all day at the office, but still enjoys a handsome liquid reward by night. You embody the work hard, play hard mentality, and have no shame in partaking in a healthy dose of dark liquor to get your mind off your troubles. Your drinking may sometimes get in the way of your relationships, but it hasn't seemed to stop you yet. Your drink: an Old Fashioned.

Mostly Fs: You're Homer Simpson. You're a couch potato, goofball, and ultimately, a beer lover. You "no function beer well without," as Homer once said in a moment of pure eloquence. You have a neighborhood bar that you like, a beer that you like, and that's all you need. You don't have a fancy bone in your body, but that's a-ok with you. All it takes is a 12-pack and a good show on TV, and you're set. Your drink: Pabst Blue Ribbon. (Or Duff, if you can find it...)

You're "the fun one" in your friend group. Your drink: Rum and Diet Coke.

Mostly Hs: You're deputy US Marshal Raylan Givens from FX's drama series Justified. You're the brooding, mysterious Bourbon drinker, who sits at the bar alone and keeps a subtle, watchful eye on the evening's revelry. You have an old-fashioned cowboy sense about you and appreciate the beauty of a throwback American liquor. You like to indulge in a quality beverage, but you only really ever get drunk when some trouble buried deep inside that hardened exterior of yours comes knocking. Your drink: Bourbon, neat.

Mostly Is: You're Hannibal Lecter from Silence of the Lambs. You tend to get a little surly when you drink—creepy even—but that doesn't mean you don't thoroughly enjoy a bottle of earthy, red wine and impeccable service.

You're a deeply observant type, and delight in savoring each and every element of your hand-picked libations. Your drink: a glass of Chianti.

Mostly Js: You're Anchorman's Ron Burgundy. You're a confident sort (some might say cocky), who loves to socialize and boast about your accomplishments and possessions. You put forth a highly sophisticated image, but at the end of the day, you just like to go hard and get wild, like everyone else. You fancy yourself the life of the party, and in truth, no one can really argue with you. Your drink: Scotch. Scotchy scotch scotch...
