>Drinking style

>Taurus prefers to drink at a leisurely pace, aiming for a mellow

>stampede, the kind of bull-in-a-china-shop inebriate who spills red

>white carpets and tells fart jokes to employers, the preference for
>wining
>and dining (or Bud and buddies) to body shots and barfing is quite

>Early-to-bed Taureans need a picker-upper -- try a Red Bull and

>Geminis can drink without changing their behavior much -- they're so

>Aquarius is likely to order stuff most people have never heard of: a
