Those 86 rules are the shit, as in good.
I just hate this one:
- If you’re going to drink on the job, drink vodka. It’s the no-tell liquor.
Didn’t Cecil debunk that one?
How odd that I just (re-)read those two MDM lists this afternoon. Must be something in my drink … er, I mean in the air.
Yes, Long Island Ice Teas, and every other kind of kidpop designed to make it seem like you’re not drinking alcohol at all is out.
Are you saying that your aren’t a Junior Spaceman?
It’s already been pointed out that that one’s about whisk(e)y, not beer.
Don’t know about Cecil, but it’s the subject of an old joke, with the punchline: “Drink whisky, not vodka. We’d rather our clients think you’re drunk than stupid.”
One I would add: For any number of reasons, someone might decline your offer of a drink. This action doesn’t have to be explained to anyone, including you.
If you overhear others making bets on which direction you will fall off your barstool, it may be time to go home, or at least move to a booth.
If your bartender says you’ve had enough, it is rude and often dangerous to argue.
(Bwhaaaa!)

Do unto the bartender, waiter or sommalier as you would have them do unto you.
Thou shalt respect thy elder cabernets, ports and single malts.*
