Happy Hour


Alcohol, despite the best efforts of the prohibition, has become an (dare we say) important part of our society. Whether it is a romantic date night complete with a bottle of wine and handcuffs, or sneaking a mickey into the movie theatre, or a dozen shots of tequila to get over your last lover (who stole your handcuffs), or a cosmopolitan to make you look sophisticated in your new ridiculously over priced high heels, or a mug of locally crafted beer after the ball game, it is - for some more than others - a part of our lives...


...Alcohol brings us together. It can be used as a medium to cheers to good health and fortune. It can be the one thing that saved an awkward blind date. It can turn a dinner party into a living-room dance party. It can make you send mass apology text messages to your friends. It can make for an awkward morning. And it can even make country music bearable (it can make Haydn bearable)...

Obviously, we are in favour of booze. This segment of our blog however, will try to avoid the typical outcomes of alcohol and over-inebriation. We've all been there; we've all said that we'd never have another drink; we've all drank again. Instead, we will look at the art of the cocktail, the history of alcohol, some variations of the classics, dinner party favourites, and if you're lucky, a few stories... with handcuffs. 

Uh, what's with the handcuffs?
