(Totally OT, not SAH/WOH related, so feel free to not respond)


I went out with 5 other women to dinner last night.

A carbomb has to be chugged down before it curdles.

I think the German shot you are referring to is Jagermeister.

I agree. If your restaurant does not offer some service that a patron wants, the patron should, and probably will, go elsewhere. Then both you and the patron will be happier.

so you routinely get a one ounce shot glass, fill it with liquor, and sip it? most people do that with a snifter or rocks glass - which isn't a shot. thats a drink. but if you're slamming back your tequila with a piece of lime and licking salt off your hand - you're doing a shot and its not classy.

i'm talking about shots like this:

>> done in a slam your head back and bang the glass down on the table action. <<

although the banging of the glass on teh table isn't required.

if you're talking about getting some alcohol, putting it in a glass and drinking it - not shooting it, then we agree. but when somone orders a SHOT that is not what they order, not how they drink it.

>>On that I agree. A large portion of alcoholics don't do shots you know. <<

i'm not talking about alcoholics, i'm taking about getting drunk. not all people who get toasted once ina while are alcoholics.

>>Who's talking about a carbomb? Is that the only kind of shot? I don't think so.<<

its not the only shot, but it is a popular one. as are minderasers, slippery nipple,s buttery nipples, dr. peppers, jager bombs an dthe like. those are SHOTS not drinks.

>>Who drinks wine with the intent to look classy? Not me. Personally, I drink for MYSELF. I drink because I enjoy the flavor. I don't drink to please some snobby waiter or the snobby, rich-ass patrons of some "classy" restaurant.<<

but many people do - hence the attitude that has developed when one orders it (white zin).

OK - we are not understanding one another. i thought you meant that if nothing was said (by the server or patrons)- the bill was automaticlaly split at the discretion of the server.

hence my confusion - but you cleared it up for me, thanks!

>>No, not really. I do not understand the looking down on people for their drink order. What if the whole table ordered water? Would that be seen as without class or cheap? Maybe they are mormon.<<

*shrug* i don't know how to explain it any better really. FTR we don't have a heck of a lot of mormons here though...so its not likely to happen! (plus, water is given automatically, so they woudln't need to order it anyway).

speak for yourself. I often order a shot of tequila (in a shot glass is about the only way they serve tequila straight) or of butter nipples (again, the only way it is served), or schnapps. The schnapps and the butter nipples I'll sip. the tequila I'll drink in one fell swoop, but there's not licking of my hand or throwing my head back.

It *is* possible ... just because you don't/won't do it, doesn't mean others can't/won't.

<<(plus, water is given automatically, so they woudln't need to order it anyway).>>

There are many areas where they CAN'T do that, due to water rationing.

It doesn't have to be Mormons either. I'll often be out with a group where we all order onlyy water. I suppose that means I'm white trash.
