I used to bartend at a gay bar in Indiana. I have tons of gay friends and have been to gay bars all over the United States. The LGBT community is all about having fun. They are accepting and carefree and they are also fabulous tippers when I was working!

When I was in my 20's, I went to nightclubs more often, but honestly, I wasn't really even into it then. Now, I'm a ripe old 36 and despite the fact that I am single and have no children, I still find no appeal in them whatsoever. However, when I go on vacation, I will go to a nightclub in a...

Bailey's Irish Creme is excellent in coffee. I have also had Kaluha quite often, too. I have tried flavor vodkas in coffee a few times, but I prefer Bailey's over everything.

Craft soda is increasingly becoming popular. I have only had store bought versions, but they were very good. I have seen more and more varieties and brands on the shelves of the stores that I normally purchase alcohol. Some people think they're quite controversial because they claim since it's...

Hot weather, I honestly think there's nothing more refreshing than a classic mojito with some crushed ice. There's something that minty and citrus combination that seems to cool me down even more. I also like a good daiquiri. I will consume those in many different flavors, but I don't like...

There's a lot of factors that go into making the decision of what beer to buy for a party. First, is who the guests are and how many of them are there. I don't really enjoy Budweiser either, but if a special friend has a particular beer that they love, no matter what my opinion of it is, I'll...

I have had Havana Club Rum while on vacation. I didn't really enjoy rum all that much, but when I tried the Havana Club stuff, it seemed much better. I'm so glad the embargo has been lifted between Cuba and the U.S. I can't wait to travel to Cuba without any worries about the U.S. finding...

I love most things that should have an umbrella in them as long as they don't contain coconut. There are very few instances I will consume coconut and a beverage is not one of them. However, I really enjoy daquiris, tequila sunrises, and a bunch of other fruity drinks. In the summer when I...

Darker beers are harder to come by here and the selection in certain places in our hometown our slim. However, darker and craft beers are soaring in popularity. Therefore, I'm sure it won't be long before the selection increases. Personally, I like lighter beers and flavored beers when I'm...

Leinenkugel's makes a Summer Shandy that is pretty tasty. I believe the website claimed that the alcohol content was 4.2%. I never knew that but it certainly explains why I rarely got a buzz from drinking a few. I really like beers that have slight flavors or even strong ones. I like to mix...

I absolutely adore cabbage and have some Eastern European heritage myself. I will have to try the cabbage water remedy for sure! We just made a huge pan on stuffed cabbage rolls for the 4th of July. If I would have only seen this post sooner, I would've saved the cabbage water for sure! As...

I love to Irish up my coffee, but I cheat and do it the "girlie" way. I usually just put a little Bailey's Irish Cream in the coffee as creamer and skip the straight whisky into the mix. Perhaps I'm not that hardcore yet. It tastes great though.

I usually do drink when I'm on a plane. They usually only let you have two drinks, maybe three on most airlines now anyway. However, I will say that you do get a decent drink most of the time, even if the selection is limited. I would imagine for the cost of the drink, which is rather steep...

OK, well, apparently Ernest Hemingway was just using it as an excuse! I don't really think that drinking helps my creativity at all either. I probably shouldn't necessarily say this but pot helps my creativity a whole lot. Almost as much as my ADHD medication, but not quite. I think we all...

I love drinking light beer with tomato juice, but never with Coke. However, since you like the fact that it makes the beer sweeter and what not, I have a great trick for you! When we were younger, all we could afford was cheap beer that had little to no taste and we used to buy a bottle of...
