The Types of Men Who Drink Whiskey @heathermgreene #whiskey #drinking #history #podcast #startup



Heather Greene knows whiskey. Her biography is impressive, from writing Whiskey Distilled, a book about whiskey, to teaching classes at the Flatiron in NYC. 

In this post, she writes about the challenge of being asked about being a woman in the whiskey industry. 
I wrote a book about whiskey. So by the tenth woman-and-whiskey-themed interview, I began feeling ornery: 
"What's it like to be a woman in whiskey?"How the hell would I know otherwise.
No one has yet to ask me about men and whiskey, a topic that might be just as interesting.
Fed up with constantly being asked about her gender, she categorizes the men drinking whiskey and how they react to women drinking whiskey. The "Non-Believer" is my favorite because it's closest to my experience:
"Do you really drink that stuff?" the Non-Believer asks women who drink whiskey at the bar. Remind them of the other things women do, like put down-payments on entire buildings and vote.
