As some of us make resolutions following the hangovers, binges and exhaustion of Christmas and New Year, perhaps it’s time to reflect on what your partying preferences say about you.

We all love to party but, guess what? That shot you just ordered alongside a chaser of vodka, lime & soda actually speaks volumes.

So, what does your shot say about you? Here is OutInCanberra’s guide to your shot selections.

Jam Donut

What’s in it?
Baileys, raspberry liqueur, sugar syrup with a sugar crust around the glass.

What it says about you:
Remember in pre-school when your mum said, “No,” to red cordial and lollies because she didn’t want a hyperactive kid on her hands? This shot will make up for lost time!

Who are you?
Radford’s maths whiz. You were always focussed at school and feel like you need to cut loose now your high school days are behind you.

Favourite Track:
You see a lot of yourself in good-girl-gone-bad Miley Cyrus and as such you rock out to any of her I-do-what-I-want tracks.

Monkey Brain

What’s in it?
Baileys, vodka, lime juice and grenadine syrup.

What it says about you:
You love the visual element of the drink being made, and enjoy being centre of attention as people around you gather for the show. It’s theatre and alcohol all in one when the Irish cream is poured in and creates a marble pattern as it runs down the bottom of the shot glass.

Who are you?
The Daramalan kid who was in every school play, co-curricular activity and owned it in drama class.

Favourite Track:
Any musical theatre rendition but, when you’re out at the club, it’s Flume.

Wet P#ssy

What’s in it?
Peach schnapps, vodka, cranberry juice and a dash of lime juice.

What it says about you:
Congratulations – you’re 18! However, if you’ve hit the mid-20s and still indulging in this sugar and juice slammer, then you really should move on to bigger and better things.

Who are you?
Either a University of Canberra fresher (most likely from Old Res or Globo) undertaking a degree in Primary School Teaching, or one of those people who head up to ‘schoolies’ despite having left college years ago.

Favourite track:
Anything by Tay Tay or you’re a bit of a Belieber (his old stuff… not his recent comeback stuff!)

Kamikaze

What’s in it?
Vodka, triple sec and lime

What it says about you:
Your friends look at you when at the bar and say, “Let’s do shots!” You’re not a seasoned party-goer but, all of a sudden, you remember Lil’ Wayne’s song ‘Shots’ and order a KAMIKAZE!

Who are you?
No one knows … you’re the resident ghost who presumably lives on UC campus but has never partied with the main crowd.

Favourite Track:
Lil Wayne, Pit-Bull, Jason Derulo, or any other man who sings his name has your vote for favourite track.

Tequila Slammer

What’s in it?
A lick of salt, a shot of tequila and a suck of lime.

What it says about you:
You’re out for a good time… to have fun with the gals and dance the night away. Yes, if you order this shot you’re most likely a ‘Woo’ girl. You’re that young lady who crumps and grinds and woos along to any song with some sort of bass.

Who are you?
You’re a UC third-year trying to cling on to your uni clubbing days before moving out into the real world of full-time employment.

Favourite Track:
Anything with a bass, some cussing and a beat. Most likely we have a Kanye fan on our hands.

ABC

What’s in it?
Absinthe, Bacardi 151 and Chartreuse

What it says about you:
The ABC shot should not to be attempted by the amateur drinker. This deadly concoction is perfect for those nights when you’re nowhere near as tipsy as everyone else and can’t stand to be around them while sober. Order an ABC when you need to get liquored up quick!

Who are you?
Chances are you went to St Claire’s, and dream of a career in the Communications Industry (probably specialising in Public Relations).

Favourite track:
You are most definitely into the indie electronic sounds of local Canberra band, SAFIA.

Vodka

What’s in it?
Vodka… that’s it!

What it says about you:
You’re serious, not to be messed with and need a pick-me-up to regain your tipsy buzz. After this you will own the dancefloor!

Who are you?
You’re fully employed, ready to take on the world and are most-likely the leader of the pack on the town every Saturday night.

Favourite track:
Hermitude is your artist of choice for a night on the town.
