Earth Day 2010 is almost upon us and The Drink Guy is there! This is the 40th anniversary of the first celebration, held in the USA in 1970. The objective of that first Earth Day event was to "raise public awareness of environmental problems and their potential solutions." Interestingly enough, the idea for how to promote a day focusing on environmental concerns came from anti-Vietnam demonstrations! At the time, these demonstrations were happening all over the US, and the attention they were gathering was exactly what U.S. Senator Gaylord Nelson, the originator of Earth Day, was...

4/20:The Things I Learn From The Drink Guy! Holiday's, an obvious topic for writing about on The Drink Guy, that's where it all started. While chatting with one of our Drink Guy fans from the UK, she made a fabulous suggestion. Why not write about holiday's from all over the world, popular and obscure?

A Smile From The Drink Guy!

A guy was tending bar at a posh Texas hotel when two snooty women approached. "So where y'all from?" he asked. One replied angrily, "We are from New York where people do not end their sentences with prepositions.' "Oh," he said "So where y'all from, Bitch?" Bad words-and worse timing If you're driving drunk in a stolen car, it might not be a good idea to yell obscenities at a passing cop. But police in Newfoundland and Labrador say a 47-year-old Deer Lake man was pulled over on the shoulder of the road Thursday when he leaned his head out of the window to hurl insults at the...

Parents Interfering, How To Cope! Looking for advice, this question came in via our Drink Guy Face Book fan page! Dear Lynn, I have been dating my girlfriend for just over a year. We are at the same university, and met there. We live in different cities, and both have gone  home for the summer. Being apart  is tough enough, but her Mother is making it worse. We talk every night, usually online, but her Mother thinks we talk too much and hassles her about it constantly. I have met her family many times and I thought we got along well, I don't understand why her Mom is making her...

Enjoy a Smile, Enjoy Your Day!

Just in Case We Were Confused!

Facebook, Twitter! Facebook profiles, Twitter streams, social media that allow a student to connect with a teacher or a coach, good idea or bad? The question posed to the Bartender and the Life Coach in Episode 11 does not have a simple answer in our opinion. As an adult in a position of influence, as a teacher or perhaps a coach, means that we carry a certain responsibility level to our students. If we allow those students to connect with us through social media, are we helping or hindering the positive impact we are attempting to have? Certain social medias, such as Twitter,...
