Here’s a website from a couple of mates who take their booze seriously. Viewers need not be heavy drinkers to appreciate the site’s many refreshing and palate-pleasing liquid concoctions, especially if mixology is crucial to the success of the next party. Established in September 2004, Liquor Snob offers “news and tips on all things alcoholic”; drink recipes, breathalyzers, drinking games, gear and hardware, even booze book reviews. Each new brand of alcohol is thoroughly drunk, digested, analyzed, reviewed and mixed with other ingredients to come up with the perfect cocktail combination. Be warned though that “One man’s favorite drink is another man’s toilet water.” Other advice includes how to use an octopus beer tap or how to beat a hangover by eating cabbage. Finally, a rule of thumb: “A drink should never have more than three ingredients, including ice.” Enjoy, and drink responsibly.
