What do you think of martinis?

I’ve heard that shaking “bruises” the alcohol. I’m not too sure about that, but shaking it can certainly make it a wee cold and dull the flavors.

It's martini time!

I really can't imagine wanting to pay a ton of money for a tiny little alcoholic beverage. The only mixed drinks I've had are glasses with Coke and some sort of Liquor poured in.

Not a fan, more of a Rum and Coke person myself.

A martini is equal to 3 drinks, so you really pay the same... just less other liquid cutting it.

Not exactly, in the U.S. our beer comes in 12 OZ increments and most of it is 5%.

12 X .05 = .6 OZ alcohol
And a typical shot is 1.5OZ of 80 proof (40%) so
1.5 X .40 = .6 OZ alcohol

Beer is usually served in Pints or Liters in Europe depending on the place.

I remember an old thread we had here where a Belgian guy says if he orders a liter of beer and is served a pint in England he will punch the bartender in the face for screwing him out of a few sips. Lulz were had.

If your martinis are tiny you're not making them right

Meh, better, less classy ways to get drunk, and I likes it that way!

Besides, Martinis aren't in. The true hipster drink of choice, direct from hipster central (UCSC) is the White Russian, or so it seems going off my hipster friends.

Are they also all fans of The Big Lebowski?

+1. Nay, +++1!

The Hipster drink of choice is PBR, trust me

If you want to want to look butch in a bar then a Martini isn't the way to go. Order a cosmopolitan to make you look like James Bond.

More than a few sips, I would think, given that a pint is 568ml.


...Or I've just learned something about the way Belgians drink.

That's beer, for non-beer, it's kahlua and milk.

I will give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that this post was ironic.
