Free Drinks..if you know where to go.

Myopenbar.com let's you know where to go if you're looking for a cheap night out. Available for New York, San Fransisco, Chicago, Miami, Los Angeles, and Honolulu. I wish we had it Boston but I think there are laws in Massachusetts that prevent doing anything cheaply.

The Candy Man Can

As the hectic holiday season approaches, please be sure to take extra precaution. You just may want to carry a 2 ft. candy cane for self protection from other drunk individuals. Who actually decorates with oversized candy other than Willy Wonka, you ask? Click here to read the sweet story.

Sour Happy Hour

Will cutting out happy hour or raising the price on alcohol result in less drinking? I don't think so. Hopefully the US won't pick up on this trend. If the prices of drinks in bars go up does that mean tips go down? To read on how the experts want to lesson alcohol misuse read this.

Walk of Shame?

All of us ladies love to go out, but hate walking around in stilettos after a long night and too much to drink. The worst is when you have a far walk and all you want to do is take off your shoes. Your feet are aching and you can barely walk a straight line with or without the alcohol. Giving free flip flops to drunk women after the bar closes to walk steadily in sounds like a fantastic idea to me. If you want to know more click here. Let me know what you think about police passing out flip flops to make your walk a little more comfortable.

A tip for a tip

Tip from the other side of the bar: When someone asks what kind of bottled beer you have, don't point to a row of empties on display. Even if you have to rattle off a few, or show a list if it's available, or even ask what the person is looking for. There is a great local restaurant, it serves creative and delicious meals. The bartender sucks. Not only does he give "the point" but he'll ignore you at the bar (which only seats about 12) until he's ready to serve you. A tip? Get a new bartender.

Blue Motorcycle?

Have you ever gone into a bar and ordered a signature drink from another bar? This past summer I had two college students living with me. A guy from Virginia Tech and a girl from Ithica College. All summer I heard about one of his favorite mixed drinks from school, the Blue Motorcycle.
The night before he moved out, we went to a local bar, a dive like any other. I could no longer avoid the Blue Motorcycle. The three of us sit down and he orders three of the famous drink. The bartender gives us a blank stare, as if she's never been asked to make a drink she didn't know how to pour. He told her what was in it, she made it. It sucked.

I'll never drink again...

Ever wake up in the morning hungover, making deals with a higher power, that you'll never drink again? I really mean it this time.

Well it appears that a New Jersey Councilman made the same plea, only this time after urinating on other concert-goers. Read this article before you pour yourself another drink. I feel for him, the lines for the bathroom at concerts are way too long anyway and Port-a-Potties are over-rated.

Successful Bartending

Where did I go wrong? Instead of going to college and drinking maybe I should've studied the bartender's guide.
