Mel Gibson apparently came close to proving #75, but misdemeanors don't cut it.

Cheers!

"1. Thou shalt not mix. What you started with, continue with."



When I'm bucks up in a quality bar, I'm like a kid in a candy store, I'll order everything that catches my eye as I watch the bartender work, always with a steady supply of beers to cleanse the palette, in between the whiskey sours, margaritas, martinis, Kioke coffees, hot toddies, maybe a glass of wine or two.

To me, with the exception of too much sweet stuff, alcohol is just alcohol, mixing has never effected me.

If you're 15 years old playing drums in your buddy's bar drinking Mezcal- don't puke on the snare drum.

It's Saturday night. Cheers!

And a Sunday morning bump.

LOL! You crack me up! I can just see that.

By the way, what does this mean?: 81. If you’re going to drink on the job, drink vodka. It’s the no-tell liquor.

I guess I'm the only one disgusted that there is a "Modern Drunkard Magazine".

I'm trying to lighten up on this, but it's not working.

You can read the print version in Denver. They're free and can be found in Denver's more seedy dive bars.

It is, of course, humor.

Why do you think it's humor?

Mandatory instructive reading assignment ping.

I guess we just have different tastes.

[Vision]

I appreciate your opinion.

Do you think it's a matter of taste? The way I see it, it's enabling people with problems to destroy themselves faster by qualifying their behavior. I know you think it's comedy, but you don't have a drinking problem.

Why do you think it's humor?

In my case, because it's funny to look back on my misspent youth.

Your posts on this thread indicate that you may not want to attend our annual not-a-party.

If your party is a bunch of drunks who need a magazine to figure out how to get through the day, no I would rather not go.

But I assume that's not what you mean.

My guess is that it has the lesser odor of alcohol, I also wonder if it is because Vodka is a cleaner, more economical form of liquor that gives the lightest hangover.


At the end of this month my drinking club will have it's annual 3 day desert bash, I usually spend a lot of the time behind the bar mixing drinks, and I'll be sampling interesting versions of the drinks that people request.

I work with a guy like this. He shows up ininvited to our fiestas, complains about how stupid drinking is, and then tries to put people to bed after they've had three beers.

Only if someone "rings the bell" on him before he gets his cover off.
