I generally stick to one establishment. And I don't mean just for the evening, but overall. When I find a joint that I dig, I normally stay put for a while. These days, I like quiet, out of the way places the best.

It is kind of odd; when I was younger, the darker the better. Now that I am, eh, a gentleman of a certain age, I really like the lighter beers. Pallets change over time, so I suppose it isn't surprising.

Yah, that would be my hunch too that they were going for so kind of "shock" or juvenile value with it. It is hard to imagine the fad would last long, but who knows. I could think of a few names, but I'd rather keep it classy. And none of the ones that come to mind fit that description. :p

Well, I can honestly say I didn't see that one coming. :eek: It does make one wonder where they got the idea, though. I mean, seriously, who says "hey, you know what would make a great beer? Bacterium from women's nether regions!" Bizarre by any definition.

Hey pals. Have you ever, past or present, worked as a bartender? How did you like it? How was the pay and tips? Did you find it fun or depressing? Thanks for sharing any experiences. :)

I play simulated casino games on the computer quite a bit. That is like poker, blackjack, roulette, etc. I'm no good at craps and I find slots ultra boring though.

Thanks FuZyOn. If I ever make it over to Eastern Europe, I need to give that one a try. Are there other national beverages in the region you enjoy? Thanks!

I dig the gentleman's attitude. It looks like "ahhh yah." Anyway, too big of a stoggie for this cigar smoker, but it still looks like fun.

Zomething different? Naw, Zomething Zucks. ;)

Hey pals. I am wondering what my fellow Americans will be quaffing as we celebrate our Independence Day. Have any BBQ plans? Have some brews bought for the day? Thanks for sharing!

Speaking of stupid; does anyone remember those annoying Zima commercials from the 90s? Good grief, even 20 years later I remember had dumb they were. ;)

Yah, most flights I've been on they limited the intake quite a bit. Most flights at night, though, offered a limited selection of mixed drinks. Which isn't a bad thing; air travel is annoying enough without a stiff drink.

Do you have any premium brands you like, Kgord? Any that you'd say aren't worth it? Thanks!

Oh, they're popular for a reason. They go down smooth and have the right effective. :)

Coffee and lots of it. Iced tea, unsweetened, too is good. I've never been big on soda, but I'll admit on a hot day, a bottle of Coca Cola can hit the spot.

Honestly, no. I don't watch television hardly at all. I do read periodicals (aka magazines, a website printed on glossy paper) that have booze ads, but at this point in my life, I'm pretty set on my brands. Not that I wouldn't try something new, because I would, but the ad copy doesn't do...

Agreed. There is only like two beers I had to toss down the drain (Hamm's and some disgusting "pumpkin" beer they had at an office Halloween party). So while I'll roll with some bad brews, there are some that are just too foul for human consumption.

Thanks for the replies. So is Palinka or Palinca usually served neat, over the rocks, or in a mix of some kind? Thanks pals.

LOL! Yah, I think I'd have fallen out of my chair if I saw Civil Defense ad like that. One thing is for sure, it would get the reader's attention. ;)

Ouch! Yah, losing a couple hundred of bucks will harsh a buzz alright. Sorry to here of the "PTSD", but I can understand why.
