Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.What does a tipple say about its drinker? People are often guilty of making assumptions about people based on their beverage of choice, but what about the prosecutors of two men in Cameroon who have served a year in prison for homosexuality because their "guilt" was "proved" by the fact that they were drinking Baileys in a bar? At least my prejudices about drinks, listed below, aren't homophobic or likely to land anyone in prison.
If you drink...
Advocaat you're a nanna who doesn't imbibe except for a bi-annual snowball
Aftershock you or a friend have a semi-convincing fake ID and are likely to have a stomach pump in the near future
Aperol/Campari you are either a) a metropolitan hipster, b) have taste buds that don't recognise what bitterness is, or c) Italian
Gin and slim you're trying to keep the skinny-jean dream alive
Snakebite black you're a goth. Cheer up
Pinot Grigio you really like the idea – and effects – of wine but not the taste (er, me...)
