The Girl Drink Drunk

Posted on Monday, August 10, 2009 in Etiquette, Video

This is too funny.  Here at Drink Update, we’re a big fan of manly drinks. Recently a discussion on Friendfeed was about whether it was ok for men to drink girly drinks. Fortunately, an old Kids in the Hall skit dealt with this issue.  Enjoy.  Make sure to watch the whole video.

Here’s the fourth found video of Ed McMahon in a Budweiser promotion. This one comes as a product placement in the Tonight Show, with Johnny Carson doing most of the heavy lifting.

Why I don’t serve Bacardi 151 or Everclear

Posted on Saturday, June 27, 2009 in Drunks, Video

One of my favorite episodes of the Simpsons was when the Flaming Moe was invented. Still after all this time in the bar business, I haven’t allowed Bacardi 151 or Everclear through my door because I’m not crazy about flaming shots for obvious reasons.

You have to like this video, though. His friend tries to put the fire out by throwing beer at him.

There are a bunch of sites out there that tell you the correct way to handle flaming shots. Just don’t do it. Do you really think shots, fuel and flames go well together? For the record, though, you blow the fire out before you try to drink it.

Ed McMahon and Frank Sinatra in Bud Ad

Posted on Tuesday, June 23, 2009 in Beer, Video

Here’s another early Bud commercial featuring Ed McMahon and Frank Sinatra. Now I’m sure Frank didn’t mind having a Bud, but I think we all know that he would rather have a Jack Daniel’s, his favorite. Anyway, cool video. A full minute long – you don’t see commercials that long anymore.

Ed McMahon was the Budweiser Ambassador

Posted on Tuesday, June 23, 2009 in Beer, Video

Sad news today that Ed McMahon has died. Not only was he Johnny Carson’s sidekick, and on a ton of commercials, he used to be the Budweiser Ambassador. I have a cool Bud tin sign of a much younger Ed hanging on the wall of my men’s bathroom at the bar (some pipeline worker tried to rip it off the wall last week). In honor of the man, here’s a cool video from Ed pitching for the King of Beers.

Danny Devito Was Not Drunk During This?

Posted on Monday, June 22, 2009 in Drunks, Video

So a few posts back we had a video of Danny Devito explaining how he really wasn’t drunk at 8:15am when the local Fox affiliate interviewed him. He said it was just an act. Well here’s that orginal interview. Is he acting? I’m not so sure…
