Welcome to Episode 1 of The Drink Guy TV! We are very excited at The Drink Guy to bring you this episode, where Glenn The Drink Guy and Lynn the Life Coach discuss a situation that arose the evening before at the bar. The situation occurred when a woman was sitting alone at the bar, waiting for a friend who was very late. While she was waiting a man repeatedly attempted to engage her in conversation, asked her for her phone number, and basically refused to take "No" for an answer. The question we are discussing is, at what point is it the responsibility of the establishment to step in,...

Championship Beer Brewing: I am part of a local beer brewing club, although I have to admit I have never attended an event but I probably should. Maybe I can do a video of the next event. Anyway, they just ran a contest and I thought I would post the result here just for the other readers. This is from George Leet who is a beer brewing guru. Maybe I'll do an video interview of his process if he doesn't mind sometime for this website. Anyway enjoy: The Amsterdam Nut Brown contest winners have been announced. Roger Beal, Wayne Reeves, and Amsterdam Brewmaster Jamie Mistry judged...

Dear Drink Guy: You must see plenty of this. How do you suggest I deal with one of “those” friends, the one who just can’t control their drinking or their behavior when they drink? I’m tired of dealing with their drunken ass, & they refuse to listen to anyone about it. Fed Up (but torn by friendship) Lynn's Two Cents... I realize that this question has been directed to our resident drink guy Glenn, who will most certainly have seen a lot of this over the years and most assuredly have some great advice for "Fed Up"...however; I would feel remiss if I did not add my...

Well I'm certainly not talking about working out.  I've been under the weather the last few days and it's my own fault.  When you drink three out of four nights something is bound to give.  There certainly are other factors involved, and no I don't mean the hard stuff.  I just can't remember her name so it's best not to bring her up.  Alcohol does weaken the immune system and cause memory loss. Wow, that brings me back to another name forgotten, or never knew.  I'm not sure.  We only knew her for four days, she drove us home all those nights and drank till the wee hours of the...

There is nothing better than having an easy night, making money, the odd drink bought for you and friends coming in to keep you company. I serve the drinks, we watch sports and talk about everything that comes up.  Being the day after Superbowl, not a lot of souls will have the energy to go out.  Remember, mass quantities of beer were consumed yesterday, along with huge servings of greasy but very tasty snacks.  However, there is something to be said for 'regulars'. Tonight we praised the Saints and Drew Brees.  Fantastic game all round by both teams.  We watched hockey and poker,...

Thanks to Glenn for bringing questions from the bar…apparently he needs a laptop set up there so people can post directly onto “Don’t Cry in Your Beer”! Regardless of where, the question has been posed, so here it is… How Many is Too Many by Glenn on February 8, 2010 Now here is a question for our Life Coach. Since she is woman of superior intelligence, and great looks, I want to know the answer. This came to my attention this week from a young lady I work with. It all comes back as I have been asked the same question, and it’s definitely a curious one. This woman was out on...

Now here is a question for our Life Coach. Since she is woman of superior intelligence, and great looks, I want to know the answer. This came to my attention this week from a young lady I work with. It all comes back as I have been asked the same question, and it's definitely a curious one. This woman was out on a first date, doesn't always have to be the first, but somewhere in the beginning. I know we're all curious in the start of a new relationship. But some questions seem a little much, don't you think? I've broken it down into a few secondary questions. So here it is: How many woman...
