Don't hold it up to your chest, hold it down to your side.

It projects more confident, relaxed and suave body language.

read that many years ago... doesn't really matter, they say this because all the dudes hold it in front, so it's just something different..

It is way too annoying to hold it by the chest.. You have to hold it down to your side to be comftable.

Amazing; I do believe that it shows more Relaxed/calm body language, since holding it by your chest, makes you look more tense

Hmm, I agree it loos more relaxed but disagree that it looks more appealing to a woman.

I prefer to hold it up to my chest, this position is more active and assertive, more extraverted. I associate it with a "Ready for action!" or "Bring it on!" attitude.

Holding it down to your side, however, makes me you look more passive and introverted. It's the same as with standing with your hands in your pockets, it shows a certain dullness.

Of course, it's not just about where you put your drink, your whole body comes into play when we're talking about sending out a certain message by body language. I think you can look confident in both positions, depending on the rest of your body. Still, when I think of a spontaneous 'center of the party' guy, I'd sooner imagine him with his drink up his chest than down to his side.

What I'm saying could be complete bullsh!t but I actually do feel
more suave holding it down by my side.

Less tense, less guarded. More of an open posture.
