I was not right for about a week afterwards, like it killed all the beneficial gut flora I had. I've gotten really drunk on Turkey with no real bad after-effects, but the minor drunk I had on that poo poo pretty much wrecked me. Sorry EW, I tried to like you...

Liquor question: I have a bottle of Carolan's Irish Cream that is unopened, but I don't have the slightest idea how old it is (probably very if I don't remember buying it). Does this poo poo go bad, and if so is it obvious? Like chunky or whatnot? It's a cheap knockoff brand so throwing it away certainly won't cause me any grief but if it's still drinkable why waste booze?

It's funny watching you guys talk about this stuff. I haven't worked in a bar in years, but I live in Utah and by law everything is measured - whether the mag system or clickers or whatever. There is no option to pour heavy, comping drinks is straight up illegal, and you can't even order a double. You used to be able to order a sidecar but they upped a measured shot from 1oz to 1.5oz and did away with the sidecar. The upside to this is as a bartender is you don't have to worry about getting stiffed on your tips for pouring light and as a patron a drink in Bar A will have exactly the same amount of liquor as Bar B so you can monitor your intake easily. Downside is that you can't be nice to folks for tipping well and you never ever get to have a safety meeting because if DABC caught bartenders drinking on duty they'll yank your license.

nrr posted:My experience with Utah involved getting into Salt Lake City at around 9pm to the guys place we were staying at, and him taking us out to the only place that was open: Chilis. On the way he drove us past the happening night spot: A Ben & Jerry's with a drive through that was backed up all the way around their parking lot, which was full to the brim with cute young couples enjoying an exhilerating date out together to get ice cream. I think I saw one girls head spin round a full rotation as we were driving past, the whole city was like a loving twilight zone episode. If any of y'all ever find yourself having to come here let me know and I'll take you out and get you proper drunk. Our system is like any other: once you know how to game it you're fine. edit: We also have Polygamy Porter, how can you go wrong there?

As I no longer bartend, I would like to extend my condolences to everyone that has to work tonight. New Year's aka Amateur Eve is probably the shittiest night to have to work in a bar.

Here's an article about a bar designed around the bartender:  .So the next time someone is telling you they want you to come work for them, tell them OK as long as you get to completely redesign the bar.

PT6A posted:Do you get any specialized training on recognizing discrepancies between the photo on the ID and the person's face? I've never had anyone card me and scrutinize my face in any depth (granted, I've always been using my legit ID), but for example travelling in and out of certain countries, you can basically see immigration authorities running through a mental checklist of sorts to make sure you're the person pictured in your passport and/or entry photo.  You learn to look at some stuff though. Hair color and style can be changed as can eye color with contacts. Distance between the eyes, eye shape and nostril shape is pretty individual and a good place to start.Nowadays they have an electronic scanner to tell you if the ID is a real one, still up to the door person to make sure it actually belongs to the person carrying it.

 Christ, do people not know what a brewpub is? I live in Salt Lake, which is the world HQ of the Mormon church, and we have 'em. Some good ones, too. I can't imagine how backwards a place has to be for people to not know what they're getting when they walk in.

Or if you're already drinking pisswater in a lot of bars you can ask for a "stein" which is 22oz and usually not much more. At my main watering hole I think it's like a buck more for a stein of decent beer and maybe 50 cents for PBR or Miller Lite poo poo.

I don't know where I'll find cucumber soda ( ) and I really don't like cucumber in general but I find Hendrick's tolerable so I'll see what I can come up with. I live in da hood so I made due last night with club soda, a splash of pineapple juice and grenadine. That stuff is drat tasty.

When I was barbacking sometimes I would go pick up the liquor order and get fruit from the store. I live in a place with state-run liquor stores and you have to buy from them at the same retail price as everyone else, no going to the warehouse. So I would go in and pick up the ordered/paid for $1000 worth of well-grade booze. I would get some real  looks.

I was in Paris recently and at the bar we ended up drinking the most, the owner told me "no no, you can settle up when you're done" the first time I ordered. It was nice but odd to my American sensibilities.

What are some of y'all's favorite bloody mary recipes? I dig them but I have this weird thing where pepper of any sort (the spice, not the vegetable) tastes like dirt to me so the usual mixing where the bottom is like kitty litter is nigh undrinkable for me. Anything else to add that extra punch?

nrr posted:If you hate pepper, you probably need a pepper grinder because fresh cracked pepper loving rocks and the difference in taste and aromas from fresh cracked pepper compared to lovely grains of pepper that have sat in a shaker forever are massive. Y'know how some people have that thing where cilantro tastes like soap? I swear I have something similar with pepper. Love me some horseradish though, I'll try making one with that.I'm doing this for home use, so I have salt (regular and kosher), celery salt, Worcestershire, horseradish, Tabasco and lemons/limes available. I prefer lemon instead of lime and also like chucking a couple olives in. It's a 3-day weekend for me this week so I'll do a little experimentation, thanks!

Ok bartender goons, I need some drink ideas for a Rocky Horror Picture Show thing going on this weekend. Doesn't need to be wildly original, just repurposed drinks with a twist that can make them Rocky related. Half dozen is probably enough, and I have 3 already: Damnit Janet - a red headed slut with a smashed cherry in it Oh Rocky - a blowjob shot with a splash of Goldschlager on top Absolute Pleasure - prosecco or champagne with a shot of St Germain It's a full-service bar so it will have most things and the crowd will most likely be unsophisticated so we don't have to get too fancy either
