Rules / Guidelines

For years I have been developing a set rules, really guidelines, for drinking and alcohol. Many of these I figured out while drinking in college and bars with friends. Over the years I have revised and developed new ones.  Some are obvious, some are funny, and a few have really pissed people off while out drinking.

Respect the Beer.

Clink and Drink.

Never force me to drink or tell me I am drinking the wrong way. I know what I am doing.

When at happy hour, limit yourself to two drinks. 

There is a time and place for every style of beer.

Only drink Corona in months that do not contain the letter ‘R’

Drink to remember, not to forget.

Alcohol is an acceptable man gift.

Anything to do with hunter or fishing is okay too, but never give another man shoes

When buying a round of drinks, the buyer gets to determine whether the round will be cocktails, beer, wine, or shots. 

If I buy a pitcher of beer for the round, don’t ask me for a Gin and Tonic, you can get that on your round.

To follow that last rule,

If someone buys a round, don’t order a drink that is more expensive than the buyer’s drink.

If my Old Fashion cost $8, why should I buy you a $15 Long Island? It’s best if you get the same or similar drink as the buyer.

If you don’t like it, you don’t have to drink it.
