Summertime booze
2009-06-27 13:00:00 A hibiscus-ginger-cardamom mojito from Nacional 27 (Elizabeth Myers/RedEye)I've got a confession: I've never tasted a mojito. I love mint flavor in my ice cream with some chocolate chips but whatever you do, keep it out of my cocktail glass! So I guess that makes me not so trendy--and that's the subject of RedEye's cover story today. Summer drink trend predictions are out, and they run the gamut from fruity concoctions with fresh produce to (gasp!) beer cocktails....

Eddie Van Halen: I'm done with booze
2009-06-03 00:07:00 Tortured, no. I started drinking when I was 12 years old because I was nervous. And my dad gave me a shot of vodka and it was a wonder drug. It really worked for a lot of years. But I certainly didn't drink to make music or to write. It had nothing to do with it. I just get nervous. I'm nervous now. But I stopped drinking over a year ago, and I'm done with it. For 42 years, I drank. It just shows... This is a content summary only. Visit Truth In Shredding to find out more!
Will PGA Tour booze throw Daly off the wagon? Also, Haney grip tip and Harm
2009-05-12 15:34:00 Click here to listen.PGA Tour title sponsor negotiations are in high gear as a number of agreements will expire in 2010. With a current bailout of six mainstays and a weakened economy looming, options are dwindling despite the aggressive efforts of Tim Finchem.Crowne Plaza is the most recent sponsor to jump ship two years before its scheduled exit date and takes along with it seven million dollars in endorsement and media commitments. FBR and Ginn are two additional casualties leaving Tim Finchem to bemoan, "We've obviously had, and are having, some bumps in the road." Temporary declines in attendance also hurt the tour and were to some degree caused by the 2008 absence of Tiger Woods but, since his return, that ship has righted itself.There are also corporations eager to extend the life of their sponsorship deals as well as new deals on the horizon, forcing Commissioner Finchem to think outside the box when considering any and all offers.New ideas to help soften a hard-hit Tour?

Canadians Love Their Beer, Eh
2008-06-09 19:25:00 Canadians get shit for a number of reasons, maybe that’s what leads them to drinking so much alcohol or it could just be that there isn’t much else to do when it’s cold as fuck outside 10 months of the year. The Canadian Press (Canada’s version of the Associated Press, I assume) is reporting today that ...
Golf Course Pissing Just Got Easy
2008-06-07 20:00:00 I have never understood golf courses.

As a result booze loving golfers end up in a jam. You can’t pee outside ...

?Douchebag? Party Canceled Before It Pops-Off
2008-06-04 21:00:00 What do you consider to be a “Douchebag” Party? Under my definition, it’s a party where the majority of the people are attending are not my friends, friends-friends, coworkers or acquaintances, therefore by default people fall into the “Douchebag” category. For Memorial Day weekend, a group of students at Seattle University were putting together one last ...

Bikini lines promote Brazilian booze
2008-05-12 23:00:00 These ads for Cabana Cachaçam decided to skip over the usual tag line of "the national spirit of Brazil" in favor of a more prominent type of "line".

Booze before Brownies?
2008-05-07 00:00:00 This has been a real shit day ! It started with the alarm going off an hour late because we forgot to set it last night and it hasn?t gotten any better. To make this day last even longer I have to take Allison to a Brownie meeting this evening from 6:30 to 7:30 and I have no way of getting out of it. Not when my daughter is this weeks troop speaker and has plans to talk all about her trip to Europe. I guess it would make me a pretty bad mom if I made her miss that because I am having a bad day. How bad of a mom would I be if I showed up at Brownies smelling of booze? Would that be any better? Nah, I guess I can suck it up and race home and get my self together, splash some water on my face and throw some jeans on before her meeting. She only has one more meeting after tonight and then the troop is done for the year.

Amy Winehouse + booze = HEADBUTT RAMPAGE
2008-04-24 09:00:00 Saying that Amy Winehouse fell off the wagon would be a gross understatement.

Hillary is no stranger to late night drinks with the press and her staff."

Cheap Booze Shoplifter: ?You?re calling the cops over four beers??
2008-04-08 03:00:00 Who out there hasn?t, while gazing upon some luxury item that is beyond one?s means ? a bottle of fine perfume perhaps, or a lady-in-a-bikini bottle opener ? thought, ?Would that it could be mine, but alas, I don?t have the requisite funds. If only I had the guts to steal it.? Barring a stint in our teens during which we may or may not have stolen anything that wasn?t nailed down, however, most of us feel that shoplifting is wrong ? even when it?s a big corporation that couldn?t possibly miss one little item ? or we just don?t want to be embarrassed by being hauled into some backroom and put under the bright lights for an interrogation by mall cops, so we either go without or go into debt when it comes to the things we want. Call it nature, nurture, or Florida, but some people are unrepentant when it comes to availing themselves of the five-finger discount.
