Like me for example, I will drink Smirnoff if drinking vodka (which is rare, because I like beer, no I LOVE beer) and I don't drink other vodka's, so wouldn't I be snobby to the other kinds of vodka? I dunno, I think too much maybe hehe. Either way, we like what we like so let's drink!

That is an interesting point... does the product really have to be more expensive to imply snobbery? Everyone has a preference... and someone's preference for a cheaper brand could be just as strong as another person's preference for a top-shelf brand. For example, a guy I worked with once would ONLY allow Budweiser in his house. In cans. There were no exceptions to this rule, even if someone brought over some Guinness or Samuel Adams as a gift. I think most people would label this man "stubborn", if anything... but if he had the same mentality only with say, Corona... people would probably be more inclined to label him a "snob".

One time I was talking to a girl at a club. I asked her what she was drinking and she replied, "Grey Goose and cranberry." I walked to the bar with her and asked the bartender for a vodka/cranberry, and she butts in with, "no... Grey Goose and cranberry." So he started to make her drink while she watched him, making sure he used her beloved GG. I don't know what happened next... I got the hell away from her.
