Bartenders ignore you on purpose. Here are some tips to make that drink come faster




Bartender Warning
Bartender Warning

Web Watch knows the best way to get a drink at the bar:   Tip noticably well on the first round.

Even if the drinks are free, such as at an open-bar wedding, you should tip big when you have the opportunity to do so and be noticed.  A $20 bill at the right time early in the evening will do wonders for you later at night.  Perhaps a heavier pour, speedier service, an extra drink made available after the bar is “officially” closed for the evening.

All for $20.

Drink this – it’s the Ultimate Hangover Cure of the Future




The Hangover

Hangovers.

We’ve all suffered through ‘em, whether it be at a Waffle House at 8am after a killer night on the town, or hanging out at the Magic Kingdom after doing DRINKS AROUND THE WORLD at Epcot at Walt Disney World three times too many in one day.

We’ve tried all the cures, but nobody really has attacked the real problem: that maybe it’s the alcohol that’s causing the hangover issue.

Leave it to scientists to figure out how to make HANGOVER-FREE ALCOHOL.

Congratulations, Fresno! You’re America’s Drunkest City!



Drinker's Beer Belt

It wasn’t officially a competition, but we do have a winner (according to the fine folks at MEN’S HEALTH magazine).

By an overwhelming margin, FRESNO, CALIFORNIA HAS BEEN NAMED AMERICA’S DRUNKEST CITY out of 100 entries!  Time to celebrate!

Web Watch is sure that you’re asking how Fresno earned this vaulted honor.  It was quite easy, actually.

Men’s Health took into account the following pieces of information:

  • Death rate from alcoholic liver disease
  • Deaths due to DUI
  • The number of DUI arrests
  • The number of admitted binge drinkers in the past month
  • The severity — or lack thereof — of DUI penalties 

Cities were rated on a scale with 1 being the worst in the selected category.  The lower your overall score ended up, the higher your city ranked on the “drunkest city” list.   Let’s take a look, shall we? 

We already know that Fresno, California is America’s Drunkest City — but who were the 99 runners-up?

Paul Dickson: Drunk Writer



Drunk: The Definitive DictionaryPAUL DICKSON KNOWS A THING OR TWO ABOUT BEING DRUNK.

He knows the difference between being “blotto” and simply being “in the weeds”.

He’s run the gamut from “Feng schwasted” to “eating dirt”.

No, he hasn’t actually been that drunk… at least, not as far as Web Watch is aware of… but Paul Dickson can say that he has written the authoritative book on the subject with DRUNK: THE DEFINITIVE DICTIONARY, listing 2,964 different terms for being wasted out of your mind on wine, beer, or liquor.
