Ha! Alright, it may not be unseemly...disturbingly cute, actually. But the vermouth...

I guess we're so pre-packaged here in the west that I haven't run across any moonshine. The closest that I can think of - and it's kind of a stretch - was some home-made spiced mead created by a friend of a friend who was deeply into Ren Fair. It's really more like sweet wine, but I highly recommend...

spoon, What exactly is your gig? (you may have posted it before, but I must have forgotten) It sounds like sales of some kind and this "Alan" seems like a pretty good supervisor/motivator -- like some bandleaders I've worked for. The corporate environment is mysterious and foreign to me. Do you enj...

Agreed--but IMHO stay away from this place on the weekends. Not that I don't like drunks, but it's largely screwed with ding dongs of the worst gene pool ordering drinks that should get one's manhood revoked. I actually got an immediate free drink because I ordered a simple Maker's and the bartende...

Using a drunkard's thirst for alcohol is nothing new. It is a prime motivator for many social scenes: "Hey, so-and-so's having a party tonight and we should go. Some of our friends are going!" "I don't know..." (begins to open the tap on a box of wine) "I've heard they got, like, three boxes of liqu...

That truly is an awesome story. Cheers!

I rarely do mixed drinks, but when I do, I ask the bartender to make the simplest high-grade, top shelf drink he can make. This makes almost every drink unique, and I'm never let down.

I guess my dad infused a bit too much of his Zen teachings into me.

Hmm, I always sip whiskey neat, same for rye. I've never tried it with ice. Maybe I'll experiment and let you know what I find.

The only thing is, I prefer Old Overholt rye, so this might be a true adventure.

am I the only guy on the east coast who doesn't own a pair of camoflage (sp?) cargo shorts? Good pics, Liz. Looks like a good time was had by all. Well, then you're not prepared for when "Red Dawn" becomes real, are ya? I swear that over here on the west coast it's freakin' flip-flops. Seriously, s...

Oh, you asked for it: Pilsner Inn : Active little neighborhood bar near the Castro district . Good beers, friendly barstaff, dimly lit backyard smoking area. It's near the Castro area, so gay men and women flock here; if you can't take it, go somewhere else. 225 Chruch St, San Francisco, CA, 94114 W...

Welcome, Artie. I'm the lazy sumbitch who posts weird or self-absorbed replies to your posts! <---See?

I'll have an Eel Creek IPA with a shot of Jim Beam.

This freakin' trance music crap in my own head that my coworker was listening to in her car as we went to a work-sponsored dinner. Aagghhh!
