Dear Drink Guy: Olympic Hockey Team Hi guys...What is your take on the Women's Olympic Hockey team...Celebrating with a Bottle of Canadian beer and some cigars after the win? Some controversy according to media reports. I guess there was a 18 year old participating...Isn't this the same girl who scored the 2 goals to win? There was only media and workers in the building...I say let them have fun...I know I celebrated with a wine...minus the cigars..But if I make it to Cuba..you never know!! Lynn's Two Cents... Thanks for the questions (which was posted on our FaceBook Fan Page)...

The stage is set, the nominations are announced, and the outfits are ready...the countdown to the 82nd Academy Awards is on. The question is, what will you be doing to enjoy the event? Now we know, not everyone loves the Oscars, but it's a great excuse to throw a party, entertain your friends and have some fun! The fun thing about the Oscars is that the possibilities are limitless for throwing a theme party that will be remembered for decades to come! Choosing a theme that represents a decade, a category, a particular film, or just the celebration of the Academy Awards in general, allows...

Moving on! Our Bartender Glenn serves up a nice glass of  white wine, a 20 Bees Unoaked Chardonnay,  to our Life Coach Lynn while discussing the next question from our "Don't Cry in Your Beer"  forum. The question posed to our bartender revolves around the issue of disclosure in the early stages of courtship...not dissimilar to an earlier question posted on "Don't Cry in Your Beer" titled "How Many is Too Many". This question deals more with the specifics of what level of disclosure should take place, and when. Our Bartender and our Life Coach once more enjoy the light-hearted, tongue...

Dear Drink Guy: My girlfriend of several years and I have recently broken up. I have found myself having great difficulty getting back into the social "swing" of things. So much so that the last several events that I have been invited to I have either not gone at all, even though I was bored and lonely, or I go only to leave before even going inside. Not being able to cope with these social situations sucks. The anxiety that I am experiencing is scary, but I don't want to live my life like this. Please help! Lonely but full of Anxiety Lynn's Two Cents... Thank you for your...

Well it seems that we are not quite over the question first raised in our video advice column,  Episode 1 of TDG TV...thus we revisit the topic in Episode 2! The controversy between the bartender and the life coach rages on! Since the topic seems to create strong emotions in MANY people lol, we decided that a moderator was prudent! (Make sure to watch TDG TV Episode 1 first!) Since Glenn the bartender is too busy watching Harry Potter on the TV to help or monitor me, the life coach, it seems I can write whatever I want.  Although Glenn is just a bartender he is usually right as...

I allowed the last comment on our first video as it only seemed fair.  Now who will be the bigger man, it's up to you guys.  The point everyone seems to be missing is that there is no right or wrong.  You can be a gentleman all you want, the fact is some women don't need or want  our help.  In today's society more women will stand up for themselves.  Great I say. Most women I have dated, generally want me to walk away from a confrontation.  Yet as someone who is interfering, or sorry, engaging another for the sake of protecting a woman's honor, pride or rights, whatever you want to...

Kentucky Bourbon Now I didn't plan on talking about alcohol tonight, especially not whiskey, but since the restaurant has been slow the last couple days, I really have no good stories to tell. I know Lynn answered an email yesterday about Gin Rickey and seemed to enjoy every minute. Please tell me we haven't create a monster, but hey, if we can get her to try other drinks all the better.  No more wine for you.  Just kidding, I love wine. Now generally I'm a Canadian Rye Whiskey drinker, and proud of it. I have tried others, the likes of, Scotch, Irish and Tennessee. However, I always...

Now some here have been made with Canadian, such as the Whiskey Sour or Manhattan.  I'm sure you can substitute but let's try with Bourbon.  I've also listed a few for the Honey Reserve from Evan Williams. The Stinger ½ oz. Honey Reserve ½ oz. Evan Williams Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey ½ oz. Energy Drink Splash of Grenadine Shake over ice and strain into shot glass Honey Splash 2 oz. Honey Reserve 3 oz. Cranberry Juice 1 oz. Lemon Lime Soda Shake and pour over ice Bourbon & Cream Martini 1 oz. Evan Williams Single Barrel Vintage Bourbon 1 oz. coffee...

Well here we are in what I promise you will be a rare post...Lynn posting about drinks, drink recipes, and drink trivia. I am not confused about who on the drink guy team are the experts in these areas, and it is not me! I do however find myself in a strange place, so thus, this post! A few minutes ago a question was posed to the drink guy Glenn on our FaceBook fan page of "The Drink Guy". The question was simple...asking about the recipe for a Gin Rickey. Dale, (who is a friend so I'm hoping he does not mind me using his real name lol!) hails from the beautiful state of Kentucky. In...

I'm stunned at the responses we received here and on facebook and twitter.  I would like to thank you all for your input, it was a delight to read all of them.  This first episode of  TDG TV was a hit and certainly calls for a follow up episode.  This seems to be an unresolved issue here at TDG, and has caused a very heated debate between The Drink Guy and The Life Coach, none of it caught on film.  I would like to take this time to invite all who commented to join us for round two of  What Should the Bartender Do. We will figure out a place and date, as I might need some help on...
