Cristal knows how to market a product! I’ve never enjoyed Cristal, which I’m sure is a top-notch beer (or Cerveza), so I set out to learn. I found myself on this website: www.cristal.com.pe. Continue Reading »

Sgt. Pepper is to concept albums as the Budweiser Frogs are to concept advertising. This campaign was EPIC. At the center were three frogs (they do kind of look like toads though) named “Bud” “Weis” and “Er”. The ad campaign debuted during the 1995 Super Bowl (49ers dominated).

The latest Men’s Health Magazine has two stories about alcohol in it.

The first story is called “When Beer is Bad”, and it refers to a University of Michigan study that links beer consumption to pancreatic cancer. Bummer.

My roommate and I have a long and glorious tradition of sitting on the couch every night and drinking, while watching 70’s musicals. It’s glamorous, to be sure, but sometimes it’s nice to have a little excitement in life. Sometimes we get sick of beer, or wine, or no-brainer cocktails like vodka tonics. I love cocktails that are clean and simple and don’t use too many ingredients. Plus which, it’s annoying and expensive to keep lots of bottles of random mixers and liqueurs around, so I like to come up with easy, cheap and unusual cocktails that only need a couple of ingredients. Please to enjoy. Continue Reading »
