1800 Tequila's Cool Bottles

Sadly, a majority of my Tequila-drinking experience is limited to Tequila poppers as a college student or gulping cheap Margaritas on the rocks at Happy Hours across town. As a result,  I am not what anyone would consider to be a Tequila connoisseur by any stretch of the imagination. However, tasting tequila and admiring a beautiful piece of art are two completely different things; while I can’t vouch for the taste of 1800 Tequila, I’m giving their new bottle designs a two-thumbs up.

Who Should Be Responsible When an 18-year-old College Student Drinks Too Much?

In my not-so-humble opinion, 18-year-old drinkers  should be responsible both their actions and injuries after they drink, even when they are served by older students.

42% of college students reported binge drinking in a 2001 survey. I don’t believe it. This must be a  made-up statistic because my own personal estimate  is that when bible colleges are excluded, approximately 83.7% of American college students binge drink on a semi-regular basis.

Is Pabst Blue Ribbon the New King of Beers?

After returning last year to Seattle after a long absence, I realized that my understanding of Seattleites has changed. They do not drink beer the way they used to. For much of the 90's, Seattle was known as a great micro-brew town, but has evolved into something completely different. Now, Seattle is a strange mix of people drinking exclusively micro-brews, gluten-free beers which are even available at Seattle's stadiums, and cheap-ass brewskis with Pabst Blue Ribbons leading the pack.
