Bartenders warn customers about ordering drink that raises alarm bells you 'want to get blackout drunk'

Bartenders reckon they can tell a lot about you by your drink order - so keep that in mind next time you're deciding what booze to sup.

A host of workers in the hospitality industry admitted they often stereotype punters depending on what tipple they choose.

And apparently, there's one drink which seriously raises alarm bells among bar staff, as people only order it to get absolutely plastered.

Considering this questionable cocktail contains five different spirits, it usually only ends up one way for those knocking them back.

Hilariously, one mixologist said they immediately 'start scanning for the nearest security guard' when they hear someone order one of these supposedly super-inebriating cocktails.

So, what is this powerful concoction of alcohol which bartenders believe leaves people 'blackout drunk'?

It's the one and only Long Island Iced Tea, of course.

The mix of vodka, tequila, light rum, triple sec, gin, and a splash of cola is a recipe for the perfect tipple in some people's eyes - but it's a recipe for disaster if you ask most bartenders.

Although we know bar staff aren't a big fan of whipping these up due to the time it takes to prepare, it also leaves them wondering if everything is okay at home.

So just know that the employee serving up your drink is probably internally rolling their eyes if you order this, as the majority of workers don't understand why anyone would need five different kinds of liquor in one drink.

Take Morgan Robison, the beverage director at Taiwanese restaurant Wenwen, who reckons Long Island Iced Tea lovers are usually in search of getting sloshed.

He previously told Thrillist: "For the most part, it is for people who are here to drink and think, 'This is the fastest way to get to where I'm going.'"

For those who haven't realised, that destination is drunkville.

He's not the only one who think's this either, as Marisol Delarosa, a managing partner of the NYC bar Brass Monkey, told The Takeout: "No one is ordering a Long Island Iced Tea because they like the way it tastes.

"The person [ordering] wants to black out and will probably be loud and obnoxious about getting to that state of drunkenness."

Event and operations staffer Daniel Meursing is of the same stance, while it was one of his employees who comically added: "When someone orders a Long Island, I start scanning for the nearest security guard."

Jamie Robinson, a former bartender and assistant food and beverage manager at Outrigger Reef Waikiki Beach Resort, also told Business Insider the popular cocktail is a 'big no-no, especially at a busy bar'.

She said there is too many ingredients involved and she isn't personally keen on the combination herself.

"You're likely only going to order one or two unless you plan on ending up on the floor at some point during the evening," Robinson added.

This cocktail might get the party started promptly, but there's also a high chance it could lead to you being bundled in the back of a taxi before midnight as it leaves you that legless.
