75) Beer makes you mellow, champagne makes you silly, wine makes you dramatic, tequila makes you felonious.
76) The greatest thing a drunkard can do is buy a round of drinks for a packed bar.

Closing in on the end here...
77) Never preface a conversation with a bartender with "I know this is going to be a hassle, but..."
78) When you're in a bar and drunk, your boss is just another guy begging for a fat lip. Unless he's buying.

79) If you are 86'd, do not return for at least three months. To come back sooner makes it appear no other bar wants you.
80) Anyone with three or more drinks in his hands has the right of way.

81) If you're going to drink on the job, drink vodka. It's the no-tell liquor.
82) There's nothing wrong with drinking before noon. Especially if you're supposed to be at work.

There is no problem buying the bar tender shots unless you live in Washington State. They can't drink at work.
When abroad traveling learn the bar customs they can be different. Little things like don't tip the bar staff in Iceland (that tells them that you dont think they earn enough).

83) The bar clock moves twice as fast from midnight to last call.
84) A flask engraved with a personal message is one of the best gifts you can ever give. And make sure there's something in it.

Speaking of Irish Boozing Rules, don't order scotch in a Dublin pub unless you're prepared to be razzed for it. Direct quote:
"Scotch? Scotch? Do you not know what country you're in?!?"

In the same vain, be smarter than my friend Kim was. A Guinness, a shot of Bailey's and a shot of Jameson mixed into one drink has a different name in Ireland than it does in America (for obvious reasons). She's lucky that she's hot. I would probably still be getting my teeth kicked in if I made that little faux pas.
Judging by the length of this thread, I assume that I don't need to explain the joke.

When you're in another country, and the friend who knows the language likes pranks, it is advisable to always carry a good language dictionary and never trust that friend when he tells you how to order a drink.
Beso is kiss. Vaso is glass. Do not confuse the two.

I would probably still be getting my teeth kicked in if I made that little faux pas. You know, I never would have thought of that... but yes, in retrospect, I can see how the name "Irish Carbomb" might not play quite as well across the pond. Learn something new every day. And now, without further ado... 85) On the intimacy scale, sharing a quiet drink is between a handshake and a kiss.
86) You will forget every one of these rules by your fifth drink.And there you have it, folks- the final two rules of boozing. I'd like to thank all of my fellow drinkers for their excellent contributions to this thread, and I hope they will continue to add pearls of wisdom in the future. Here's to you all- may you be in heaven a half-hour before the devil knows you're dead. *raises glass* -D |

To broke for pearls, would you accept a few "nuggets"?  Quick question for LA watering holes what's better Hollywood hotspot or Los Feliz trendy dive bar? And yes there are dives that "Trendies" frequent. Beware of women that want to talk sports in the bar. You will find that you are agreeing to something that you know "is just not true". No matter how many round you buy, the first "fou fou" drink that touches yor lips will mark you for the rest of the evening as "That Guy". Finishing a fifth in 2 hours will not make you less of a man, but it could make you more of an idiot. |

No matter how awesome you think your moves are, drunken dancing will always make you look like an idiot.
Do not get smashed while on a balcony. It is the start of a hospital visit.

Making #2 in the stall of a dive bar could be a double whammy, both bar crime #1 and a possible personal health hazard
