The bar is open. I couldn't close a sale today. I'm starting to think I should just be a coal miner.

There's a special on snake free white russians, 'pupp.

A tall frothy Okocim MOCNE coming your way. MOCNE means strong. 7% ABV...yikes.

Though apparently I can't read, and they're advertising the alcohol-free version.

Sold.

Though if they contain Sauvignon Blanc, I might refuse on principle.

I hear you. Reds give me a headache, and we're outta limes.

A round of Irish Carbombs for me and my friends. (I always feel slightly embarrased ordering those - talk about an impolite drink name!)

I'd like something blue, please. I've always been fascinated by blue drinks.

Thanks, I've already got a bottle of Tröegs Rugged Trail Nut Brown Ale in my hand and it's very tasty. Pennsylvania beer rocks.

No. the dangers are many, the pleasures are few.

Plus, the only thing that happens is I get another year older and deeper in debt.

i'm wondering if it's better than working on the chain gang.

Drinks are for closers.

mdonley: IIRC, that is part of their schtick - it's almost impossible to buy the alcohol free stuff as it has such a low production run. In many of the adds, at the end they wink at you and say "alcohol free, of course!"

A last call please. it's non alchoholic but this means I get more umbrellas, sparklies and freaky fruit hanging off the edges. And don't shake it fool, the ginger ale will fizz all over the place!
