The Real Reason Liberals Drink Lattes

[Shaul]

“Are liberals truly more likely to drink lattes than conservatives? In this study, we first use a representative national survey to address this unanswered question. On confirmation, we examine three hypotheses about why this relationship exists. Our results led to a fundamental reinterpretation of what it means to be a “latte liberal.””

I drink them because I have a caffeine sensitivity and I have one shot instead of the standard two. Too much caffeine makes me paranoid, shaky, tired, angry and depressed.

 

[Revoltingest]

I voted <in favor>.
I think I drank one once.

What the hell does a beverage have to do with a political leaning?

I once ate a bunch of dark chocolate covered espresso
beans one evening at work doing year end accounting.
I ate too many cuz I felt really jittery. It was horrible.
Never again!

Who knows.
But there are many interesting strange correlations to waste time studying.

I went to my GP for an emergency appointment because I thought I was legitimately going insane. I had been stood in a changing room staring at myself in the mirror trying to figure out whether I were actually alive. Turns out, all that kind of thing stopped after I dropped caffeine.

I guess you’ll have to read to study to find out.

It's why I become irritated when people talk rubbish like this.

There are people like me who drink lattes for this reason, and I'm tired of being crapped on because of a beverage choice. It's nonsense.

There's no article. Its references and a summary on your link.

For tea lattes against coffee lattes.

If I go to Starbucks, which I don't like to do, (seems silly to be paying more that $6 for a cup of coffee plus there's that tip jar shaming you into paying more), but my wife makes me, so I usually get a chai tea latte.

Perhaps it can be useful for people to mistakenly think
that you're a liberal because of your beverage choices.
This way, when they're not looking, you can pounce!

I prefer espresso but I like lattes a latte.

One reason why liberals drink more lattes

One reason why liberals drink more lattes

Thank you.

One reason why liberals drink more lattes

I suspect the reason is that liberals are more suburban voters while conservatives tend to be more rural voters. Therefore in a suburban setting more access to coffee shops.

Unlike @Revoltingest I only got as far as tasting one once. WAY too rich for my taste buds. It was after my Lefty days too... ...hmmmmmm
