I really don't have to ask any more questions of people who rely on a chemical to make them feel better. I don't see a difference between people who get drunk often and pot heads or pill heads or any other substance abuser. As a matter of fact in many cases people who get drunk often are worse than some others. Quote HistoryQuoted:

At the restaurant I worked at, straight liquors on the rocks were an upcharge because it was a larger pour. Dewars on the rocks? Upcharge. Martini on the rocks? No upcharge, same pour. Makes sense. Ordering on the rocks for extra booze payload is certainly a trick known to the drinking public. |

Quote HistoryI don't really understand how that's a question. You're taking a chemical that will alter your state of mind. Just because one substance is way more popular than others and legal doesn't mean that it's any different from a drug. The photons popping out of your screen alter your state of mind. 
Bam, just shot some oxytocin into your brain. We're just a soup of chemicals anyway, what is the problem with adding a few more. Unaltered mental states are impossible. What separates us from animals is we can choose to influence our chemistry. Not to sound too much like Timothy Leary though. |

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?

correct answer has already been posted several times. the upcharge is not for the ice--it's for a "rocks pour", which is slightly larger than a normal portion (often ~20%, sometimes more). this policy varies from place to place.
there are 2 major issues in play. first and most directly, 1.25 oz (37ml) of liquid will not even remotely fill a normal rocks glass, even when it is packed with ice. for industry standard libbey rocks glasses properly iced, 1.25 oz will reach the bottom of the bevels when it is first poured. ~ 60 sec later, enough ice will have melted that the glass will appear full. however, the initial appearance creates complaints. people think that they're getting ripped off. the rocks pour is an effective way around this--it delivers real and perceived value to the guest. secondly, meltwater has a substantial influence on flavor, and creates problems when ordering doubles. put simply, single pours tend to be consumed too quickly, while doubles tend to sit on the ice too long and get watered down. the intermediate rocks pour looks substantial, lasts for a respectable amount of time, but doesn't sit around so long that the flavor gets washed out. long story short, you probably aren't getting anything for free, but you probably aren't getting gouged either. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Some restaurants will add a fee for drinks that are served on the rocks supposedly the drink has an extra oz liquor pour so they tack on an extra $1 to $4 for the extra booze apparently depending on their policy, different restaurants charge this fee for drinks served neat, on the rocks and straight up how could all of the alternatives have extra booze poured? something doesn't compute the only one that makes sense is a drink served neat, because extra booze would take the place of the ice if the glass is filled full they pull this scam on all kinds of drinks now - martinis, scotch, old fashioned, you name it Isn't "neat" and "straight up" the same thing? |

I am considered an apostate because I prefer ice with both bourbon and with a martini.
Why? Magic happens at the point at which substances change form from solid to liquid. Magic. In bourbon, this is expressed as a bloom of sweetness. In a martini, this is expressed as a deepening of the floral notes from the aromatics in the gin. It's like that magic that happens when you put from-the-fridge-cold butter on a slice of bread and then dollop on a spoon of hot stew and take a bite. Flavors explode as the hot stew melts the butter in your mouth. Magic. I don't give a fuck if everyone else in the whirled thinks I'm looney for noticing this. It is manifestly there and it is worth experiencing. YMMV and all that. |

Quoted:
Happened to me once....never went back. How'd that up charge work out ya fucks? Ill say it again pretty much every place charges more for rocks or neat just because you dont see Jack daniels $3 Rocks$2 You see jack daniels rocks$5 If you order just a shot it will be less unless they pour the same amount for botb which is not proper or the bartender is either an idiot or likes you You are all paying more for rocks pours weather you know it or not. How do you figure that? You expect me to believe they really pour more booze than a neat drink because there's ice in it? Oooook. In my experience they usually pour same or less because the ice makes it look more full. a neat pour is usually the same as a rocks pour it is also an upcharge over a shot |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I am considered an apostate because I prefer ice with both bourbon and with a martini. Why? Magic happens at the point at which substances change form from solid to liquid. Magic. In bourbon, this is expressed as a bloom of sweetness. In a martini, this is expressed as a deepening of the floral notes from the aromatics in the gin. It's like that magic that happens when you put from-the-fridge-cold butter on a slice of bread and then dollop on a spoon of hot stew and take a bite. Flavors explode as the hot stew melts the butter in your mouth. Magic. I don't give a fuck if everyone else in the whirled thinks I'm looney for noticing this. It is manifestly there and it is worth experiencing. YMMV and all that. A few drops of water will open up the whiskey (or whisky) better than an ice cube, much less a pile of ice cubes. The lower temperature suppresses the flavor. Similarly, a martini is mixed with ice then the drink is strained from the ice. That small amount of water opens up the flavors of the gin plenty, and keeps the drink from becoming so cold that the flavors are suppressed. |

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.

Quote HistoryQuoted: like spicy food? the reason that you do is because spice stimulates endorphin release. it's a chemical that alters your state of mind. same with caffeine, sugar, chocolate. whole grains increase seratonin levels, just like prozac. sleep deprivation also alters your state of mind. do you have moral convictions about that?

Just because one substance is way more popular than others and legal doesn't mean that it's any different from a drug. like spicy food? the reason that you do is because spice stimulates endorphin release. it's a chemical that alters your state of mind. same with caffeine, sugar, chocolate. whole grains increase seratonin levels, just like prozac. sleep deprivation also alters your state of mind. do you have moral convictions about that? I love caffeine. Love the way it makes me feel. I just don't pretend it's not a chemical. Not all chemicals affect your brain the same way or as drastically. That's why I can drink caffeine and drive a car legally. |
