Republicans prefer brown water

There's a ridiculous article in today's Times about the differences in food preferences between Republicans and Democrats. It could almost be mistaken for an Onion article.

But I couldn't help noticing this particular paragraph.

For example, Dr Pepper is a Republican soda. Pepsi-Cola and Sprite are Democratic. So are most clear liquors, like gin and vodka, along with white wine and Evian water. Republicans skew toward brown liquors like bourbon or scotch, red wine and Fiji water.

So pollsters say that Republicans prefer brown water, and brownish red wine.
