    To all the grey goose lovers...never had it, but now you have me wondering.

    I vowed not to drink until my bachelorette party so I'm going to have the biggest glass of Coke.

    Grey Goose is good too-I like them both equally, but sometimes Kettle One is a tad cheaper.

    BTW I love that we have a drinking post going at like 1 in the afternoon. Much needed friday all around, I see.

    Any other scotch drinkers out there? That's my other go-to drink. Scotch on the rocks. Good stuff. I can't drink beer anymore really. Beer overload in college.

    @Kittyachi -- It's only 10:30 AM here in Cali, so I really have no right to be thinking about martinis.  We do have some great olive brine for dirty martinis in our fridge that we got from the farmers market olive stand -- plus some great olives.  Yum.

    @Mrs. Dee - LOL I totally forgot about that quote.

    This is an appropriate thread for this question I think - does anyone else really dislike chick bartenders? I don't know about elsewhere really, but in NYC (a) they are the biggest bitches on earth, (b) wear clothing where their ass and boobs are basically laid out on the bar and (c) they ignore you if you're a girl and flirt with dudes for tips. Drives. Me. Insane.

    @Kittyachi: I think, like anything, it depends where you go.  I can think of female bartenders that have bugged the sh*t out of me, but then I can think of equal amount of male bartenders that have done the same.

    Plus the ladies at "my" bar are the best and when I think female bartenders I think of them haha :o)

    @hotchild - I think if you're a regular it's a different story but at random bars i'm always catching attitude from the women. i'm at the point where if the bartender is female i make FI get the drinks because it takes half the time.

    i'm ready for my second dirty

    @Kittyachi: Hmmmm, I haven't paid that much attention I guess.  Although I do notice that FI gets quicker service/more attention from lady-bartenders but I thought it was just because he's so devastatingly handsome ;o)

    White wine spritzer......talk about dinky Laylabelle, I love Sprite Zero and Pinot Grigio on the rocks.  My Russia friend once called me "Eurotrash" when I ordered it in front of him.  I was oddly proud of that title....

    @kittyachi - About dem booby bartenders: YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. Gosh, they suck at life.

    I'll take a classic dirty martini (GIN baby; be it Bombay Sapphire or Tanqueray)

    If it was a Saturday, it'd be tequila shots all the way, hahaha.

    I always wanted to have a cinematic moment of throwing my drink in someone's face. Is that bad? Has anyone done it before? It seems so ridiculously awesome if its timed right and the person gettin' drenched is a horrible jerk/bitch.

    ME !I HAVE THROWN A FEW DRINKS! The best story:

    FI accidentally spilled a drink on a cheap Paris Hilton look alike. he felt terrible and profously apologized. She had a little bit of her drink left in her glass and she threw it in his face, and cursed him out.

    I swear I saw red spots,felt dizzy and all of a sudden I turned into crazy girl at da club. ONLY I CAN THROW DRINKS IN FI'S FACE!

    I grabbed her and dumped my whole full glass of beer over her head. All of a sudden this HUGE crowd came between me and cheap looking Paris, and FI grabbed me and we ran out of the bar. LOL.

    If only I wasn't at work and I could actually have on right now. I would love a Jolly Rancher Martini. They make them at this martini place down the street from my house where they have 100+ to choose from.
