Hyphy-nated

So apparently there is life after rap.

Bay Area rap legend E-40 has expanded upon his Earl Stevens Selections wine empire (heavy on Moscato - the wine of my Northern Italian heritage) with the introduction of his latest pre-blended "fortified" product apptly named "Sluricane."  (with an obvious nod to the "N'awlins" beverage of choice)

More on his wine from the Sac Bee (Mangoscato?!?!?) along with a splashy (pardon the pun) roll-out from BevMo.

"It's just like moonshine
Have you on yo face
I mean you be slutterin'
And what not
Next thing you know
You don't know how you got home"

Lake's Lynx

Yes, that's what they are.

This week:

Retro Home Bars  (where every hour is cocktail hour)

The Porn Star Martini (in honor of Pr0n Robot)

Sober January (hint:  Nobody likes a quitter...)  If you're going to pick a month, at least make it February.  Fewer days, ya know?

"They come together
To flirt and to tease
In the dimly lit shade
Under the Cocktail Trees
Under the Cocktail Trees"

Breaking Bad

We're only 2 weeks into 2015 and "bad" seems to be everywhere:

Bad drinking news (they obviously don't drink gin...)

Bad week for space (w/ Ted Cruz being appointed to oversee NASA and US having to take refuge in the Russian side of the International Space Station - this might help)

And a bad week in Ohio (if you can’t trust your bartender who CAN you trust?)

Meanwhile, what is your state drinking?

"I'm the baddest of the bad since you've been gone,
The baddest of the bad since you've been gone.
I lay around here and I just drink beer
The baddest of the bad since you've been gone."

Happy 80th, Elvis!

We're back with a new year, and on such a special day - Elvis Presley's 80th Birthday.  Now that's something to truly celebrate.

I get it.  You're you're young, well-paid, have an exorbitant rent, and can't make a drink to save your life.  You're gonna need a Somabar.

Speaking of technology, here's an AutoCAD update of Florian Römhild's 2010 illustration.

Courtesy of the "Beeb" here's a handy portal to reveal your "drinking nationality" (I'm Romania, or something)

And in case you're still pining for the past holidays, we give you Awkward Xmas Autocorrects.

"You can burn my house,
Steal my car,
Drink my liquor
From an old fruit jar.
Do anything that you want to do, but uh-uh,
Honey, lay off of my shoes!!"
