Matt Robare has an idea what kind of urbanist you are based on what kind of drink your having.
This is satirical list with a point to make, to be sure, and it's obviously meant in good fun, like drinking in moderation, say. Some of the jokes are fairly esoteric, but maybe the ones that seem to be flying a little high offer a chance to learn something about perceptions.

Anything with Absinthe: You’ve been introduced to someone as a flaneur.
Red Bull and Vodka: You know that, according to Vision Zero statistics, you should have been killed nine times so far this year.
