Drink Like a Man

We touched on manly drinks in an earlier post, but the topic is always of interest. Nothing is sadder than seeing a grown man sipping on a blended Pina Colada.  As my girlfriend, the bartending guru, says, “You can only drink those if you are a woman or on an beach.”  Exactly.

The 86 Rules of Boozing

Posted on Saturday, June 20, 2009 in Etiquette

86 Rules of Boozing

Modern Drunkard tells us that “there’s more to it than tipping a glass and acting foolish.”  So they came up with rules for drinking.  86 of them.

Some include:

1. If you owe someone money, always pay them back in a bar. Preferably during happy hour.

5. Buying someone a drink is five times better than a handshake.

55. If you think you might be slurring a little, then you are slurring a lot. If you think you are slurring a lot, then you are not speaking English.

57. For every drink, there is a five percent better chance you will get in a fight. There is also a three percent better chance you will lose the fight.

73. If you bring booze to a party, you must drink it or leave it.
