My god, sis, I didn't realize you posted here!

Most of the people who drink that stuff aren't aware that it's malt liquor. They think it's Bacardi + mixer or Smirnoff + mixer. They don't realize that the tax on a drink like that (actual booze + mixer) prevents its production...

Good for Bacardi/Smirnoff for taking advantage of these morons. I applaud it. Just like I applaud GNC. I get mad when reasonable people are taken advantage of, but I'm fine with screwing over the one's who deserve it...

Yeah, but she's so gummy!

I attended a cocktail function recently where a guest requested a glass of zin. The server asked, "now, you know it's red, right?"

The guest was so horrified by the question, she spoke with the bar manager. (Apparently the server had worked at an Applebee's before working at the club.)

Deleted double post.

My next screen name will be Could Not Connect. That's not deceptively similar, is it?

I disagree. I'd like to get hit right between the eyes with the controversy first thing in the AM and get it over with.

Couric relates every single topic to the subject of children and household issues. I think she alienates all viewers except stay at home moms, who's intelligence she insults by assuming the onyl thing they've the capacity to care about is home and child reaering.

I'm not asking Katie to become an investigative journalist - I'm just advocating that she respect the audience a bit more.

S(and the same goes for her late night counterpart, Leno - which poll told him Americans hate sarcasm and irony?)D

I'm not sure I understand the story. The guest requested
zin (didn't specify red or white) and the server thought the guest did not know that the zin being served was the much more palatable red variety so the guest was offended? Or the guest wanted white zin, asked for "zin", and the server thought the guest did not know white zin is "red" (pink) and not yellow?

Mr. Kiss likes red zin from time to time. It is amazing how many servers in restaurants with wine lists (including a wine bar!!!! hire new help!!!!!) know nothing about wine and say something like, "You mean the pink kind, right?"

At one point in my childhood, my father drank this, but in cans (then I think the price went up):

Zin is red.

White zin is an abomination.


Edited to add: this happened at a private club and the person he addressed (not me) chairs the wine committee.

Given her ratings, she can't be insulting them too much.

Mojitos?
 

Exactly.


In other liquor news, my sister recently spotted Segram's Gin 'n' Juice (in many flavors) in a convenience store. She was tempted to buy some just to see what Segrams thought gin 'n' juice was.

Mojitos?
 

Perhaps next they will release a convenience store version of syzzurp.

No, in Colorado they call it Rocky Mountain Deer piss. There's no goat piss in it at all.

The insult of insults is that there is Coors Light - which might as well be water. It tastes like NOTHING.

Give me a Woodchuck any day!

Total agreement. I was given no option but Coors at a Trivial Pursuit party (the people in Denver know how to party!) and I remarked that I thought that something was wrong with my can of beer as it tasted too much like club soda. I was told in no uncertain terms that that was how it was SUPPOSED to taste. And then everyone proceeded to call it Rocky Mountain Deer piss due to the river the water is drawn from - and yet they still drank it.

Me...I prefer Pyramid Hefeweisen.
