Cocktails, brandy, not-brandy, Cointreaux, highballs, lowballs, scotch and soda with or without the ice…

I knew there was a reason I didn’t drink.

Amen, Irishman. Here, have a Beaumont Suicide. Y’know, one would never guess based on your username…

Owww, dammit. Leggo my ear. Where are you draggin’ me off to?

“Swelegant” hotels in Toledo? Don’t make me laugh. This is a city, although we must have 1000 restaurants, thinks fine dining is Tony Packo’s of M_A_S\*H fame.

Doug, I used to bartend here in town about 100 years ago so I’m pretty familiar with alcohol. If you want to get together and take a cocktail tour drop me an e-mail at [rseaney@teamsigma.com](mailto:rseaney@teamsigma.com) and we’ll work something out. Maybe Georgio’s downtown or J.D. Wesley’s out on Monroe St. west of Franklin Park. John Wesley is always pretty generous with his booze when I’m in there.

Gaudere, congrats on a well written and informativeand entertaining article.

There you go! Georgio’s downtown or J.D. Wesley’s out on Monroe St. west of Franklin Park. That’s exactly what I would have suggested.

Ah, how I’d love to be there with you! Don’t tell ME there’s no night life in the “Madhya Pradesh on the Maumee” !
