Glee Is Back!! Glee!! Love it, hate it, have no idea what it is? Well, in North America you would have to never watch TV and live under a rock to not know what this television phenomenon is!  However, my visitors from the UK did not know what it was about, so for those of you that don't know, let's talk "Glee", the newest sensation on TV. And of course, a great excuse for a theme party! Quite simply it is a musical/comedy/drama, set around a high school glee club. A personal favorite show of mine, I love the quick-witted scripts, the singing and dancing, and the character...

A Sunday school teacher asked her class the question: "When you die and go to Heaven, which part of your body goes first?"  Suzie raised her hand and said, "I think your hands, because when you pray, you hold your hands together in front of you and God just takes your hands first." "What a wonderful answer!" The teacher said. Now little Johnny raised his hand and said, "Teacher I think it's your legs." The teacher looked at him warily.  "Now Johnny, why do you think it would be your legs?" Little Johnny said, "Well, I walked into Mommy and Daddy's bedroom the other night,...

Jesse James and Sandra Bullock are still the Hollywood buzz as we continue our great Drink Guy fans discussion in Episode 10 of TDG TV!  This time with the help of a male fan we discuss whether Sandra has any fault in the affairs, and why did they not learn from Tiger Woods? As the story goes Sandra Bullock apparently appears completely oblivious as her famous husband Jesse James, has his way with anyone and everyone who walks through the front door, apparently following the example of Tiger Woods! Is it necessarily Sandra's fault for being away working all the time, while Jesse's...

You Stupid B@stard! You cheated on Sandra Bullock? How in the world can you be so stupid? You are married to one of the most beautiful women in the world. She has a body to die for and her current wealth shadowed only by Oprah. Your wife recently beat out Julia Roberts in the polls and is now named "America's Sweetheart." You also remember, she just won an Oscar and praised you up and down in front of the world while you were porkin' away. You are really a piece of work! You are the most hated @sshole cheater on the planet! How can you live with yourself! I only have one...

Kind of curious to meet this person... And not so much to meet this one!

There was a party online tonight with some of the awesome Drink Guy fans...what a total blast! It started so simply, with a suggestion that a "Shot Shared Around the World" by some of the FaceBook Drink Guy fans would be fun. When the questions began to come in about what shot could be created with the ingredients that people had available, our bartender Glenn came to the rescue, and created a fun and fabulous party on the fan page! The shot, a "6/49" ...is a "random" shot named after the Canadian lottery, and the process is simple, fun, and the results are interesting!! To...

Always appreciative of intelligent reporting. Hmmm...FAIL! But seriously, it`s good to know that those 25 year old teenagers are getting pregnant less these days!

This comes from one of our great Drink Guy fans!! Why I was fired... For the last company picnic management decided that due to liability issues we could have alcohol, but only 1 drink per person. I was fired for ordering the cups. Thanks to Julie for Tuesday's laugh!

Check out our next segment in the article series "Building Your Perfect Home Bar". The Perfect Home Bar: Step One, Location! Also enjoy some new drink recipes from Glenn, like the Irish Car Bomb, Prairie Fire, Bloody Ceasar, B52, and The Stinger!

Since we've been talking about infidelity, here's one for ya. A woman is in bed with her lover when she hears her husband opening the front door.  "Hurry,"  she says, "Stand in the corner." While he stands in the corner she rubs baby oil on him and dusts him all over with talcum powder.  "Pretend you're a statue!" she tells him.  "What's this?" the husband asks as he walks in the bedroom. "Oh that's a statue I bought," the wife replies. "The Andersons have one and I liked it so much I got one for us too." Around 2 a.m. the husband gets up, goes to the kitchen and returns with...

Funny for Monday...Epic Fail from the tattoo parlor!

Happy Easter!!

Happy Easter from the Drink Guy Team! Oh yes...Epic Fail in the parenting Department!

It always amazes me how much the presence of a home bar draws people. Despite the fact that I spend my days working behind one, when I arrive at someone's home for a social event, I am always pleasantly surprised if they have a home bar set up, and immediately feel the need to check it out. As I make my way over for a much needed drink, I reflect on what my ideal home bar set up would be.  A bar is always the center piece of any party or get together, as this is where the masses will gather for conversation and the all important, “grab a drink”. Whether simple or complex, a bar...

Just Add Tequila!!

Again...there are really no words!

The Pickup line, I've heard them all.  Being a bartender definitely has its privileges.  As I've stated earlier we get to see and hear everything. One such observation, albiet extremely humorous as time passes and more alcohol is consumed, is the mating ritual of the homosapien. The mating ritual generally begins immediately upon entry into the bar.  First off we all need to check out the scene. Don't kid yourself we all do it, guys, girls, bartenders, servers, busboys, doorman, the DJ etc.  Anyone drinking, working or sometimes both, does it. We need to see who's available,...

With spring in the air and the beautiful weather forecast for this weekend, many people's thoughts turn to outdoor pursuits, such as golf. Just make sure you know the rules, breaking them could create a much higher penalty than you are prepared to pay!!

A great question that came in via one of our awesome Drink Guy Fan Page fans! "When watching sports at home, as opposed to the "rowdy" nature of a stadium, sports fans may have the smallest amount of shared company but also the greatest degree of freedom. This is sometimes where the most intense cheering or jeering will take place among particularly devoted sports fans...depending on the company they keep for such an event. In the case of particularly frustrating and disappointing moments in sport for such a fan, is it appropriate for such extreme reactions as punching a hole in the wall...

Monday Morning Laugh...Why Men Should Not Write Advice Columns! It just seemed an appropriate funny to share given the topic of Episode 9 of The Drink Guy TV and the discussions surrounding Sandra Bullock, Jesse James, and even Tiger Woods! Great advice John! :laugh:

Sandra Bullock and Jesse James are all the buzz, and in Episode 9 of The Drink Guy TV, the Bartender and the Life Coach enlist the assistance of some Drink Guy fans to discuss this ongoing Hollywood story. As most of you know, the recent story that has taken Hollywood by storm is the situation between Sandra Bullock, Jesse James, and marriage infidelity. The alleged affair took place between Jesse James and Michelle McGee, although it seems that more mistresses are coming out of the woodwork. Following a well deserved Oscar win on the part of Sandra Bullock, and a speech that brought...

Enjoy your weekend and drink responsibly! :silly:

There are no words...

Clear instructions are vital. :-?

Do we think someone got in trouble for this?!?!

Now there's a deal! :-P

As a bartender I've seen my fair share of people, and if someone wants great service, they need to know what Bar Etiquette is all about.  It amazes me how rude some people can be, or how bent out of shape they get if you're not "on top of them'.  There are other people here, not just you. By definition etiquette means conventional requirements as to social behavior; proprieties of conduct as established in any class or community or for any occasion. Etiquette has to do with good manners. It's not so much our own good manners, but making other people feel comfortable by the way we...

The Bartender and the Life Coach are back, this time dealing with the question of how to handle the issue of alcohol within a relationship. Not the standard situation of  alcohol abuse, but rather the query of how to deal with a situation where one partner has emotional issues tied to alcohol abuse from childhood, and makes demands on a partner because of this. In this Episode of The Drink Guy TV, the Bartender and the Life Coach have been asked by a young man who wants to enjoy a successful relationship but is struggling with the demands of his significant other. The young man in...

An age old quest...the ideal hangover remedy. Does it exist? What works, what doesn't? Thanks to some of our awesome Drink Guy fans, we have been given some interesting suggestions for curing the result of your Saturday night fun...that Sunday morning hangover. There are certainly some common themes, and some unusual ones.It seems a favorite way to "cure" a hangover involves food. From Tammy, Diana, Mark F, Alison, Patti B, and Traci the leading food suggestion involves "greasy spoon" or "junk" food...and specifically from Julie and Chris and Joanne, bacon must be included in the...

Happy Saturday!!!

Read the fine print...too funny!!! Happy Friday!!!

Flaming drinks definitely pleases all due to its showmanship.  All alcohol's burn, usually a bright blue flame, however some better than others.  The higher the percentage or proof the better it lights.  Most cream based liqueurs, not so much so.  So don't waste your time on them. This is all about the show, and done right will have anybody eating out of your hands.  Some quick notes, make sure to extinguish the flame before you drink, it will burn all the way down.  Alcohol burns hot so don't use a cold glass, a sudden change in temperature could crack/ shatter the glass and ruin...
