Question #1:

Cocktail suggestions for an Indian/Caucasian wedding?

Hi there!
I will be bartending a wedding this month and have been asked to come up with 4 cocktails that would be "memorable". The crowd is half of Indian decent and the other half Caucasian, are predominantly doctors and/or med students from San Francisco.

To try and please everyone I have the following list currently, but would love other suggestions:

1. Chai White Russians
2. Mango Martini or Dirty Martini...not sure which
3. Cuba Libre (rum & coke w/ lime) or Manhattens (whiskey base)
4. Vodka Cran

Question #2:

How many vodka should i put in my jello shots?

i want to make some jello shots.. Do you think i should used vodka or tequila? and how much should i put in them?

Question #3:

should i leave my partner now?

i have been with my boyfriend for 14 months, for the first 9 months or so things were brilliant and when we had a minor fall out (either my fault or his) i would always go off in a huff and he would always be sorry, ask me to come back and we would always miss eachother alot. One day i walked and wouldnt speak to him for 4 days, he took the week off work and moped around his house because he couldnt "bear" to go outside and face the music while i wouldnt speak to him. We moved in together in june (3 months ago), the second night we moved in we had some friends round for drinks but after they left he started an arguement with me for no apparent reason and called me some awful names, told me he was in love with someone else and that he despised me because i forced him into moving here. I was in total shock as i'd never seen him act in this way ever and as he was shouting in my face, i grabbed him by throat so he then grabbed my arm and threw me across the floor and spat in my face. I threw him out of the house and he came back about 3 days later to return my mobile phone which he had taken with him when he left. I barely spoke to him because he wasnt the man i thought he was. We had a discussion and he said how sorry he was and he didnt mean any of it and it was because he had too much alcohol that night, i didnt fully trust him yet but thought i could maybe let him have another chance as we were both under alot of pressure with moving to a different town and having to buy furniture etc. A few weeks later i made the mistake of drinking in his company again when he flew off the handle at a silly argument again, infront of our guests this time, as they were leaving he was calling me names and looking at me as if i was something he had just stepped in! I will never forget the looks of disgust on his face when he was shouting the names at me. I will also mention that ever since we have lived here, i have cooked 99% of the meals, made his lunches for work alot, done all the housework and ironing, and give him lifts to work 15 miles away some days. I have done everything to try to please him and i dont mind doing all the house stuff but think he takes it for granted because i would never get a thankyou for any of it. Anyway we had been getting on well the past few weeks, kissing,cuddling and laughing and joking with eachother again. Every other weekend his two year old son from a previous relationship comes down to stay with us and sometimes can be very clingy, cries alot to get his own way, and throws tantrums. Sometimes i have to bite my lip before i say something about how his son behaves in this house, there was no discipline where the child is concerned but only recently after i told him that if he doesnt stop letting him get his own way now he will be worse to handle when he gets older. I think the main reason i am not very tolerant of his sons behaviour is because i have lost a big chunk of respect for my partner since what has happened here. Also he emotionally drains me most of the time he'll storm about the house,not speak to me, if i say something wrong or ask "a stupid question" to him he will start ranting at me calling me thick. Well last weekend we had a few beers each and watched some comedy dvds, then we started to drink some vodka (which i should have known would end up in disaster) we got into a discussion about cruelty to animals and children, he said since he had a son he doesnt give a toss about cruelty to animals, which he knows i feel very strongly about both. Then he said my mothers dog who means alot to me and who had been staying here over the holidays was always annoying him and didnt like it running about our house, then i couldnt help myself and said well your son runs about this house wrecking it and i dont say anything. Before i knew it he had me by throat and was shaking me, i managed to get free and then grabbed him by his throat and scraped the neck of him, as we kept attacking eachother he then grabbed me again by the hair this time and smacked my head off the wooden floor a few times until i gave up, meanwhile he was shouting if theres any marks on me you're dead and dont you ever talk about my son again, i was shouting back yes i'm sure he'd be so proud if he could see what kind of a monster you are. We have barely spoke since, i hate him but i dont want to lose this house and cannot afford it alone, i also dont want to go home with my tail between my legs with everyone knowing my relationship didnt work out. I also do not want to be the woman who takes this kind of treatment from a man and who makes excuses for it, 2 years ago if someone said this would happen to me i would never have believed it, laughed it off in fact. Please help i need good advice .

Question #4:

Was I wrong to take action against a homeless man?

There is a homeless man who lives near me who has terrible manners. He is constantly aggressive, sings Nat King Cole songs loudly (and terribly) and is rarely seen without a bottle of vodka. I've grown sick and tired of his behaviour, so when I passed him by recently I thought it was time to show him a lesson. I picked up a used condom from the ground and threw it in his face. When I arrived at work I told this to me colleagues who all seemed to be very shocked that I would do such a thing. I feel bad as he is homeless but I don't see how we will ever have nice neighbourhoods if we just accept the status quo. Was I wrong, or would you too have taken action?

Question #5:

Vodka Eyeballing craze~ have you ever took Vodka through your eye ball?

Click Here

Vodka eyeballing', as it is known in student circles, is the latest drinking craze to sweep through Britain's universities.
Those who do it claim that it induces feelings of drunkenness at break-neck speeds, providing an instant high.

What do you think?

Have YOU done it? Would you?

Question #6:

Just drank 7 Shots of vodka?

I just had 7 shots of vodka how long will it take to kick in and how drunk will i be?
Im a male i weigh 130 pounds and the last time I ate was 6 hours ago. I've only drank a few times before.

Question #7:

I drank 3 shots of vodka and 1 shot of whiskey?

I just used the last of the whiskey and had 3 other shots of vodka. How drunk am I likely to become? (I'm a male and weigh approximately 140 lbs)
I haven't eaten since 6:00 and it wasn't a lot

Question #8:

Drinking both Vodka and Whiskey?

If I have a few shots of each, will it effect me differently than if I just stuck with one?

Question #9:

Am I becoming an alcoholic?

I'm 17 years old, male, about 150 pounds and just a half inch shy of 6 feet. I started drinking about 2 years ago with a few friends that lived nearby. We would only drink on the weekends, until the summer came along and we would be drinking close to 4 times a week. When school started, I kept on going, but cooled it down to the point where I was only drinking on weekends and maybe once during the week. From September to March, it went on like this, and of course my grades did suffer. At this point I felt a little worried about my drinking, as nobody else really drank as much as I did, and I would be drinking huge amount compared to everyone else (a 26er of vodka with a few beers for the night). Then in March I went on a volunteer trip to Africa, figuring this might be a good start to turning things around. In the end, I just got drunk in Africa.
End of the year exams came along, and I decided to stop drinking altogether for these. It was tough, but I managed and came through with decent marks. Then in the summer, I made myself take a couple music courses (I'm aiming to go to university to study composition) to keep myself busy and away from drinking scenarios. It worked, and I didn't drink the whole summer.
Then, a couple days ago, a friend of mine (a year older) was moving into to her residence in university, so we got the gang together again to wish her well. I hadn't drank for what seemed like ages, but apparently I pounded back a huge amount of hard liquor (at least 5 shots each of vodka, jager and rum, and I think someone had brought a bottle of white wine that we cleaned out). I don't remember too much, but I puked that night when I got home around 3, and then some more the next day until about 7. I'm still feeling hungover even though it's been two days, but I really feel like having a drink. Both my grandfathers were alcoholics and it killed them, and my dad had a bout of drinking but is apparently fine now and able to enjoy a few drinks. My mum has never been down that road.
I've had about 6 or 7 bad "experiences" with alcohol, but I have kept going back. And now, despite not drinking for a summer AND being incredibly hungover, I really want a drink.
Am I on the road to alcoholism? It might sound like I'm overreacting, but I've been told a couple times that my drinking is a little too intense and I'm starting to worry.

Am I becoming an alcoholic?

Question #10:

Wanna head over to the beach with me, drink some vodka, raise some hell, and get nasty in the ocean?

Question #11:

What can be made with these?

I have scotch (Cheep not that great...), brandy (Same again), Gin (okay/good), vodka, water, madeira, mango juice, diet coke, ginger ale and access to other things like alcoholic grenadine and tequila rose, lemoncello, sloe gin, cherry brandy, cocoa liquor, some strange latvian drink which smells horrible, disarano etc. (But that would take a trip past the crazy people outside to get too)

As many different drinks as possible please! We are all over 18, most in our 20s, so no 'obviously hiding from parents' type comments please, they're fighting and strange and we don't like them, so we've holed up in the one room and don't want to leave. (Affectionately and stupidly named it the speakeasy ¬_¬ )

Question #12:

Some sort of stroke after drinking alcohol?

So I use to be able to down a whole bottle of vodka and be ok b/c I partied ALOT in high school... But I havent drank in about a year and last night for labor day weekend I drank a big bottle of Champaigne by myself, my bf had a glass and everyone else was drinking liquor. Well I got tipsy off of it but not too too drunk and when I woke up today I felt fine until I got out of bed. I was brushing my teeth and all of a sudden I lost my vision and broke out in cold sweats and I passed out for a few seconds, then when I got back up I had dry heaps/ Ive had heat strokes in the past very rarely but its cool outside so I don't know why I would have one. Did the alcohol have anything to do with it?

Question #13:

I want to drinkk badd Helpp please!?

Lately, my life has took a turn for the worse and I can't stop thinking of my metally abusive and physically painful past and I'm staying depressed looking right through people, so they don't have the satifaction of looking at me wrong but I guess that cuts out the right. I have been being really agressive and angry and unable to really control my feelings so I've been taking it out on my family and basically trying to push everyone away. And all I want to do is take some shots of vodka but I can't since I'm underage and my mom isn't a droinker so we have no kind of alcohol in the house. I've been seeing a counselor but she's not helping and she's making me want to drink more because I feel like I'm expressing myself and getting the pain from her the past just for her to say how does that make you feel, its like I just said how the hell it makes me feel and your not helping can you please tell me what's wrong with me already. But she never does and I just want some alcohol, want should I do?
I can't buy it if I'm underage and my friends that have parents that drink. There parents keep the liquor locked up.
I really just want this sick empty painful feeling to go away.

Question #14:

How is three olives vodka ?

Question #15:

Which will get me more intoxicated?

A half bottle of vodka
OR
A quarter bottle of vodka + a few cans of cider/beer
If i get the half bottle, i will drink it a lot slower + mix it with more soft drinks, whereas the quarter bottle will get drunk a lot quicker.

Question #16:

Could one avoid being done for drink driving by getting out car before being breathalyzed and drinking vodka?

not enough characters...
I have no intention of doing this and obviously don't condone drink driving etc etc, I just remember a conversation with a friend and being particularly curious as to whether anyone has done this and/or could get away with it,
For instance, to add detail, one might pull over, get out of the car, lock the car, maybe even lock the keys in the car to avoid any intent to drive car. And then drink a bottle of vodka to render the breathalyzer useless. Clearly, the person would not be in control of the car drunk, nor DUI, and without keys showing no intent I appreciate the hypothetical nature of the question and so it can be subject to some variables, but just interested to see if anyone has an answer

Question #17:

What would happen if I put cannabis in an alcohol solution?

So, simply out of curiosity, what would happen with the cannabis (in this case marijuana and hashish) in an solution of ethanol, be it a 96% spirit a la what the doctors use, or 40%+ vodka or similar spirit? Would it, after drying it for a while, still be usable after taking it out of the solution?

And would trained police dogs be able to smell said cannabis inside this solution?

Question #18:

Why would someone want to know how you knew their favourite thing...i.e. drink/book?

A strange question, I know. Just curious. I said that I remembered them saying they liked vodka nearly 7 months ago and I don't see this person much. Would they think I was paying extra attention to them?

Question #19:

Girls, do you really expect men to pay for the date?

Now that we are no longer in 1950 and women are "independent" isn't it time that you start paying for your half?

I've encountered a way to get the little ladies to pay for their half of the dates. Now, I don't do dinners for dates with girls, because the bottom line is dinners only open up the opportunity for conversation. The more we talk, the more likely it is I say something that will stop you from having sex with me. I may say I was watching Bill O'Reilly or Chris Matthews, and you may be left wing or right wing and hate me just for that. Who knows. I may say I love the Chargers and you are a Raiders fan. Bottom line, I'd rather the date start at the bar after dinner.

Then at the bar I tell the waitress what I want and hand her my credit card and tell her to open up TABS, notice the "s". It is subtle, and often the girl doesn't catch it. Then at some point when the girl is rude and goes to answer a phone call or goto the bathroom, I confirm with the waitress that there are separate tabs. Then when the bill comes, and she gets her half, it is almost comedic seeing the look in her eyes when she realizes how much those vodka and crans costed her for the night LOL. Also funny to see how many have to "goto the ATM" as it was obvious they were expecting me to take the bill. It's a beautiful thing, and even more beautiful when the girl rejects the original spot I pick to drink at for a more lavish, expensive place.

Girls, tell me why you naturally assume the man should be paying the bill? Men, take the lesson I posted above and use it for yourselves. I, unfortunately, cannot take credit for this, but once I heard it, I added it to the tool kit.
Courtesy? Where is your courtesy? Pay for the man...
Velvetro, we give you sex too. Don't we deserve anything? Are you telling me you are just a low budget call girl? Isn't dating supposed to be about finding a mate or some BS you ladies like to say?

Also, how many times do women go out with guys for free meals and know damn well they aren't putting out? I'll never pay for you little gold diggers and dinner whores. Even better, I get more sex than most of the poindexters out there paying for every date.
Nah ayla... that isn't how it goes in 2010. Sure there are still enough p*ssified men out there that do this crap. But the tides are turning and there are more men thinking like me. Hopefully by 2020 the majority of men will be like me. It's 2010... You are independent, you have your own jobs, you are equal to men, pay for your own g*dd*mned dinner.
I'm not talking about if you already have a bf... I'm talking more in the initial stage. And still, I don't see why the guy should be paying in the relationship. Just because you give sex? Please, sex comes free. What makes you think your vagina is filled with gold? Vaginas are like busses. Miss one, there will be another around the corner, and unlike busses, they don't require a fee to ride.
Krissy - This is the beauty... What I do is not devilish. Why should I "be up front"? The better question is, why should it be assumed that I am paying for anything of hers? Like I said, it's 2010. She has her own job and money. Shame on her for assuming that just because I have a penis that I should be paying for her $10 drink. F that... That's not anything that's mean, rude, etc... That should be the expectation. You buy something, YOU pay.
In the 1950s women weren't running around talking independent this, independent that. Women didn't complain about keeping up a household. Women didn't explode and get fat on their husbands and stop putting out. There are reasons for things. Women now a days want all the advantages men had (and they deserve it, I don't believe women should be stuck in a household and 2nd class citizens). However, they want all the double standards that benefited them in the 1950s. I'm calling BS on this crap. God forbid I treat women the way they say they want to be treated, as equals. That makes me the A- hole... Well, if that makes me the A Hole, then I'm the A Hole.

I have no problem getting dates. And I don't put these women on pedestals. They are equals. If they are cool, I'll continue to date them. If not, I move on to the next girl.
Krissy - This is my original question... Why is it the females' assumption (in general) that the man should be paying the first date. You say you have no problem covering, your not sexist. Well, I think the females on here saying the man should always be paying for the first date is sexist. Don't get me wrong, when I date a girl (meaning more than going out once or twice) after the first date, I'll pay one time, she does another, I don't take tabs of how much is spent. I'm just sick of this double standard set by women/society that a man should be the one to pay for the first date.

Oh, I go for the emotionally unstable girl at the bar trick frequently. I love Valentine's Day... That's like a field day for me. So many desperate women at the bar LOL...

I tell you what Krissy... I'll take you out on a date this week... I'll even let you pay ;) LOL
No Sleep, I don't feel bad. Because she would have no problem with me paying for her $10 drinks. Where the place I suggested was perfectly reasonable. We went on a Thursday night. The place I recommended had like $3 mixed drinks. That wasn't good enough for her because she thought I was taking the bill. Well you know what... Good, you want to go to an upscale trendy place, you pay for your drinks. And why should she be assuming I"m paying for anything? I don't feel bad for that. I got a little gold digger back, strike one for the mens side. God knows how many sucker men that woman has gotten free meals/drinks from, and at expensive places as well LOL.
Sleep... It isn't about fighting, it's simply about putting on the other side's shoe. The fact that she had to goto the ATM right there tells you she expected ME to pay for the night. What an ego. Where does she get off with that attitude? So yes, I do find joy in sticking it back to her. She deserved it.

Question #20:

Have you ever answered a question with.."The vodka made me do it".?
