Um, from a non-practicing bartender, Why the hell not? We gotta keep the rifraf from walking out on big bar bills. Rather pay by the drink fine. No tabs for you. ;)

Thats how i look pretty much every day........ is that a bad thing?

Last time i was out drinking i had 8 vodka and sprites and 2 long island iced teas and i could still function, is that a fair tolerance for alcohol? Oh and i tried 2 rum+cokes but didn't like them much.

For a tab, there HAS to be a CC. I would have never started a tab without one. I always liked running tabs better, less trips to the cash register.

Hard to say... I have trouble distinguishing "Guiness hangover" from "everyday life"... :)

Actually, one of my, uh, tangliest nights ever involved popping out after work for a pint... corporate credit cards... doubling fisting pints (the girl was bringing them so fast that she was replacing my 1/4 full pints with fresh ones)... calamari and a few other assorted appetizers... change in venue from pub to club... g&ts... more g&ts... shots... a bunch of stuff I don't remember (though others tell me it was quite memorable)... bathroom... a quick exit... cab... snowbank... and possibly the worst hangover I have ever experienced. I didn't feel right again until 7pm the next night, and even then only after a couple of vodka and creme de cassis.

I've been in groups that have signed and walked out with the wrong card before, cards have been lost, drinks added to the wrong bill, tips added, etc. Not to mention if you get really toasted the ability to just put it on the card can affect your better judgment to stop drinking and go home. Using just cash though helps keep track of what you're doing. When the cash is gone it's time to go home and go to sleep.

If you're gonna drink beer, I'd recommend Heineken or Labatt Blue. If you're gonna drink liquor a couple of thing to order are SoCo and Coke (Southern Comfort), Screwdriver (Vodka), and Liquid Cocaine (lots of fun stuff).

Friend did it once, walked out with a huge bar bill. Too easy to buy drinks... Lesson learned, cash only.

Well, the stories are good at least!

Last time I was in BC these two guys burst into the bar, one guy basically trying to kill the other guy (and he would have too, if some guys hadn't jumped on him) with an adjustable wrench, oh, about 2' long... So, watch out for guys with, uh, big tools. lol.

And to think, when I first saw this, I thought it was a self-help thread for Neanderthals. That might have been more entertaining, though. ;)

He said, "Gotta take love where one can find it.. :-)" I think the meaning was pretty clear.

First thing's first... have a designated driver. -not a drink, a real (sober) person.

Ok, off my soapbox. I agree that beer is probably your best bet for the first time drinking. Liquor can really sneek up on you, but beer is a gradual buzz and you can back off if you feel too wierd. But if you're in the mood to party a bit, here's a few good "starter" drinks, but don't try them all in one night:

Seven seven's are tasty. Seven Up and Seagrams Seven.

Anybody mention a screwdriver yet? Grey Goose Citron (citrus) and orange juice is smooth!

Malibu (coconut rum) or regular Bacardi rum and Coke are good too.

Man, I miss the good old days. Have fun! Get back to us when your ready for slamming down shooters.
