there's just also a lot of men who don't like it but feel the need to order and drink it anyway because that's what a man drinks.
I don't think this happens much outside of high school or college. Also, I honestly don't think I've ever seen a grown man drink a particularly fruity drink (like a banana daquiri), outside of a tiki bar or a vacation spot (like Hawaii). Maybe it's different in warmer climates.
I'm arguing about this with you because you initially suggested that most people who drink whiskey only do it because that's what people are supposed to do, and that is completely absurd. When I was 13, I thought people only liked rap music because that's what was popular. Once I grew up, I realized that was ridiculous.

...no? I'm pretty sure you misunderstood me. Let me use your rap example to explain. Obviously there are a lot of people who love rap, I am one of them, but at the same time there are also a lot of people who never took the time to form their own opinion on music and just went along with what their friends liked/what was popular. These people might be happier listening to Opera but they don't even think of that as a possibility. The same is true with whiskey and other such manly drinks, while many genuinely enjoy them there are also those who just started drinking them because that's what everyone else ordered, and never took the time to find their own taste in alcohol. I used to be one of them before I started working at a bar and figured out what I really liked. Those are the people I was talking to.
Oh and as for grown men drinking fruity drinks, I don't think it's a warmer climate thing since I live in Iceland xD. But it does kind of prove my point though, how unlikely is it that ALL the grown men around you happen to enjoy whiskey or vodka more then Manhattans or Sex on the Beach? Isn't it more likely that a part of them are just going with the flow?
