Quote HistoryQuoted: That has never happened to me, but I bet some places don't want the drinks to look crappy and unfilled, so they do a longer pour if you take it neat. They probably have giant rocks glasses. |

1. Order your drink neat
2. Order a glass of ice, see if they charge you for it. Combine the two. 3. ??????? 4. Profit |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
I always thought when making drink neat, the bartender pours in the same amount of ingredients as a drink with ice. I think that depends on the state. I know a whiskey on the rocks in California is usually a glass about an inch from the top with whiskey and ice. A whiskey on the rocks in Utah is 1.5 oz whiskey and a mountain of ice. Yay freedom. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: very simple On Saturday you drink a bunch of what amounts to industrial chemical solvent and disinfectant then the next day you feel like crap while your body recuperates from being forced to metabolize neurotoxin Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Someone please explain drinking alcohol very simple On Saturday you drink a bunch of what amounts to industrial chemical solvent and disinfectant then the next day you feel like crap while your body recuperates from being forced to metabolize neurotoxin And the simple answer is because they typically pour them heavier, a lot of places treat "on the rocks" closer to a double.

Quote HistoryQuoted:
It all begins when a person is an innocent waif traipsing through life. Everything is new, fresh and exciting. Then responsibilities begin to weigh upon that person. Liabilities start to occur. Debt creeps in and energy levels wane. The person sees clouds for the first time in their rosy forecast, and is ultimately forced to admit that life is not just a joyous exercise of flip fantastic sex while dangling from a ceiling fan. There are dark forces at work in even the happiest of lives. Cancer, the madman next door, diseased ticks lurking in the shrubbery, intractably stupid children who won't stop drooling upon the upholstery, lost television remotes, on and on. Marriages sour and turn as dry as the prairie wind. A spouse can transform into a bitter harpy hellbent on squeezing the last precious drop of hope from a person. To paraphrase Thoreau people start to live lives of quiet desperation...and the song dies in them. These are the dark forces from which Vodka, for one, is forged. Vodka is the essence of want and need, of false hope and bitter winter. It is filtered through the shards of a thousand shattered dreams. It burns when you drink it, but the burn feels so good. Much like how Blues music is about failure...yet you feel good when you listen to it. You know alcohol is false, but for the moment it is full of promise. You know, promise? Like you used to have?

A whiskey neat is a double pour. So, add ice. Either way it's more than a single shot...or it should be.

I saw it on a menu board in an extremely pricey D.C. bar I was in once. Mind you, I didn't have to pay it---the bartender learned we were from New Orleans and gave us half off all night and didn't add any charges for rocks. (Still wildly expensive compared to drinking down here though, even at half off.)

Profit If you're not a cheap douchebag, that bartender or server isn't going to say a thing. If you're normal, they will go out of their way to find ways not to charge for things. But there are a lot of places that add an upcharge for rocks glasses. That's because they get a larger pour. A place that doesn't upcharge isn't using a larger pour. There might be some places out there that don't charge more and pour more.....but I'd argue they're the exception. |

Someone please explain drinking alcohol It all begins when a person is an innocent waif traipsing through life. Everything is new, fresh and exciting. Then responsibilities begin to weigh upon that person. Liabilities start to occur. Debt creeps in and energy levels wane. The person sees clouds for the first time in their rosy forecast, and is ultimately forced to admit that life is not just a joyous exercise of flip fantastic sex while dangling from a ceiling fan. There are dark forces at work in even the happiest of lives. Cancer, the madman next door, diseased ticks lurking in the shrubbery, intractably stupid children who won't stop drooling upon the upholstery, lost television remotes, on and on. Marriages sour and turn as dry as the prairie wind. A spouse can transform into a bitter harpy hellbent on squeezing the last precious drop of hope from a person. To paraphrase Thoreau people start to live lives of quiet desperation...and the song dies in them. These are the dark forces from which Vodka, for one, is forged. Vodka is the essence of want and need, of false hope and bitter winter. It is filtered through the shards of a thousand shattered dreams. It burns when you drink it, but the burn feels so good. Much like how Blues music is about failure...yet you feel good when you listen to it. You know alcohol is false, but for the moment it is full of promise. You know, promise? Like you used to have?
Man... Thats beautiful. *sniff* Its getting dusty in here. I've thought of taking up heavy drinking, but it wouldn't mix well with all of the pills. |

So, other words, all our prices are lies, because both neat and rocks will be more? Quote HistoryQuoted:
So, other words, all our prices are lies, because both neat and rocks will be more? No. I dipped into this place to take a pic, because I know they do this and post it...and I used to bang the smoking hot bartender. Brother jimmys across from the garden. Touristy
Ask for a blantons. Pay x get x Ask for a blantons neat. Pay xx get xx No matter. $40 later I'm buzzed and i left my number with a hot chick visiting from the Netherlands. If they'd have charged 35 or 45 Id never have noticed or cared, honestly. |

There is sober and not sober, not sure what else you could call it besides "under the influence". Quote HistoryQuoted:

Someone please explain drinking alcohol When you woke up this morning and (seemingly) felt fantastic, I actually felt a little bit sorry for you. That's as good as you're going to feel all day, you poor bastard. Feel free to ask any followup questions, as you deem necessary. As a matter of fact in many cases people who get drunk often are worse than some others. There is a little thing called moderation, but then in your mind there seems to only be two things, sober and drunk. So a beer with supper because I like the way it tastes makes me a substance abuser? Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |
