Is there a trick to getting rumors when drinking?

Because I'm a fanatical completest, I like to get my journal updated with as much info as possible, which includes the rumors that you can get at a bar. Is there any trick to unlocking these rumors - i.e: is it dependent upon how many drinks you buy, or the price of the drinks, etc.?

    I wonder if Charisma has an effect here - I've noticed my main (19 CHA) gets rumors much more frequently then Korgan, for instance.

    The thing that influences whether you get info on a rumor or not is the "kind" of drink. Each drink has a percentage score for rumours. It's up to you to find out which drink the bartender is pushing.

    EDIT: your question, @SharGuidesMyHand , took me a while to answer:)

    The price is your best bet. Chug expensive beer and the bartender is more likely to open up.

    Generally, I noticed, that ordering the expensive drinks have a bigger chance of getting a rumour from the barkeep. A different representation of the saying 'money talks'
