No way!  Do you work at Toad\'s Place with Paul Liberti???

I love Paul!  He\'s the best bartender on the face of the Earth - got me into the TLG show last month for free.... (so glad I didn\'t pay for that show! :lol: )

Yeah, but only on a rare occasion these days.  I remember your face b/c sometimes I\'d do the ID check @ the fence/net during all ages shows, and he made sure I knew not to give you a hard time.

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Mr. Pecoraro, King Of The Hyperslut.  This guy has, without question, consumed more Hyper **** than any other human being.  What does this say about his personality?

Still drinking the Hypersluts?

And well we\'re on the subject of drinks, I have to share this one with everyone.  It is called a Brain Hemorrhage and here is the blurb on it:

Drinkology, for reasons better left uninvestigated, feels the need to present a few concoctions that are truly awful.  Here\'s one that\'s horrifying looking and sickeningly sweet.  We suggest that you prepare it as carefully as Anthony Hopkins prepped Ray Liota\'s skull in Hannibal, and serve it to someone you truly don\'t like.  

Recipe:
1 1/2 ounces peach schnapps
Slowly add 1 1/2 ounces Baily\'s Irish Cream, allowing it to coagulate into gray-matter-ish clumps (yuk!)
Carefully drip a little grenadine - the "hemorrhage" - on top

if i\'m not mistaken, we ordered one of these once, but it was called an abortion..

I got this Drinkology book and it said this of chocolate martinis: "Drinkology turns its snooty nose at most newfangled "Martinis."  
Awesome!

How about Miller High Life Lite, because 12-pack bottles are $5.99 at the local distributor?

:lol:Miller may be cheap & tasteless, but it\'s got great representation in the beverage community...aka, I just signed up for the summer session of Miller promos - stop by Hula Hanks tonight in New Haven for some free yellow beer! ;)

A faux martini is any drink called a ______ martini, but features neither gin nor vermouth.  This absolutley kills me.  Some 20 year old ding bat thinking she\'s all Sex in the City ordering a chocolate martini.  A chocolate martini @ most bars features Hershey\'s syrup.  Very sophistico.
Another time this girl ordered a martini and told me I didn\'t know what I was doing when I reached for the gin \'\'...uh, a martini has vodka in it, not gin!".  Oooookey.

You would totally hate The Blue Pearl in New Haven; their drink menu is full of faux martinis.  I happen to like chocolate martinis though, being a chocaholic and all, but I am completely aware of the difference between that and a regular martini and really not sure why they decided to even call it a martini when it so clearly is not one.  

I got this Drinkology book and it said this of chocolate martinis: "Drinkology turns its snooty nose at most newfangled "Martinis."  But out taste-testers love this drink.  

They make it with 2 ounces vodka + 1 ounce white creme de cacao, no hershey\'s syrup!

If anyone is looking for a good book on drinks, this one is hysterical.  It\'s almost as much fun to read the blurbs as it is to actually drink the drinks.

Zima is the first alcoholic beverage I ever drank.  

Sex and The City has had a major impact on the liquor industry.  Women from coast to coast have started drinking neo-martinis and wine in bars because of that show.  You should see some of the industry data we look at... in the last 4 years, high-end wine and spirits are up 35% in bars, while beer is down 2%.  (Note that 2% of beer drinkers switching to spirits amounts to a 35% increase in spirits!)  Amongst women the numbers are even more magnified.  I won\'t bore you with the rest of the survey data, but believe me when I tell you that a lot of these new high-end vodkas and other liquors can thank that show for their existance.

To add a few from my own experience:

Chicks who order faux martinis*=white zin.

A faux martini is any drink called a ______ martini, but features neither gin nor vermouth.  This absolutley kills me.  Some 20 year old ding bat thinking she\'s all Sex in the City ordering a chocolate martini.  A chocolate martini @ most bars features Hershey\'s syrup.  Very sophistico.
Another time this girl ordered a martini and told me I didn\'t know what I was doing when I reached for the gin \'\'...uh, a martini has vodka in it, not gin!".  Oooookey.

Guys make fools of themselves over the price more than the drink.  One of my fav. bar co-workers had this classic interaction:

Customer: Hey what\'s cheap here?

Bartender: You mean besides you?

Before  you order a drink in public, you should read this!  

Seven  New  York City  bartenders were asked if they could nail a woman\'s personality based on what  she drinks. Though interviewed separately, they concurred on almost all  counts.

The  results:  

Drink:  Beer
Personality: Causal, low-maintenance; down to  earth.
Your Approach:  Challenge her to a game of pool.


Drink:  Blender Drinks
Personality: Flaky, whiny, annoying; a pain in  the ass.
Your Approach:  Avoid her, unless you want to be her cabana boy.  


Drink:  Mixed Drinks
Personality: Older, more refined, high  maintenance, has very picky taste; knows EXACTLY what she wants.
Your  Approach:  You won\'t have to approach her. If she\'s interested, she\'ll send YOU a  drink..................


Drink:  Wine (does  not include White Zinfandel)
Personality:  Conservative and classy; sophisticated yet giggles.
Your Approach:  Tell  her you love to travel and spend quiet evenings with  friends.


Drink:  White Zinfandel
Personality: Easy; thinks she is classy and  sophisticated, actually, she has NO clue.
Your  Approach:  Make her feel smarter than she is...this should be an easy  target.


Drink:  Shots  
Personality: Likes to hang with frat-boy pals and  looking to get
totally drunk... and naked.
Your Approach:  Easiest  hit in the joint. You have been blessed. Nothing to do but wait, however, be  careful not to make her mad!


Drink:  Tequila
No explanations required - everyone just KNOWS what  happens there.




THEN,  there is the MALE addendum ----
The deal with guys is, as always, very  simple and clear cut:


Domestic  Beer:  He\'s  poor and wants to get  laid.


Imported  Beer:  He likes good beer and wants to get  laid  .


Wine:  He is hoping that the wine will give him a sophisticated image to help him  get  laid.  


Whiskey:  He doesn\'t give a damn about anything but getting  laid.


Tequila:  He is thinking he has a chance with the toothless waitress.  


White  Zinfandel:  He\'s gay!
