Mariano Martinez.
When you hear his name, you should raise your salt-rimmed glass high in the air and sing his name proudly.
Why? Because without his ingenuity, we would not be sipping this frozen concoction that helps us hang on.

Have you ever wanted to open a bottle of champagne like they do in the movies or the fancy restaurants, where the sommelier takes a sword and thwacks the cork of the bottle out?
Apparently, it’s easy to do – as evident by the recent WORLD RECORD WINE SABERING attempt by Harry Constantinescu.
“Whiskey,” to paraphrase Homer Simpson. “…is there nothing you can’t do?”
Apparently not, if you take James Gilpin as an example.
James Gilpin knows a bit of science behind the making and distilling of whiskey, and he knows that all he needs is some good sugar water to make the stuff. So, being a type-1 diabetic, Gilpin turned to one resource that he had readily available to him.
Introducing GILPIN FAMILY WHISKEY. It’s WHISKEY MADE FROM PEE. More specifically, the whiskey is made from the pee from diabetics, whose urine often contains high levels of sugar.

Cast Member Confidential -a Disney Employee Memoir
If you’re a Disney park fan, then one thing that you’re probably interested in is some of the behind-the-scenes stories about what it’s REALLY like to work at the Most Magical Place on Earth.
Sure, you could read KEVIN YEE’s book MOUSETRAP: MEMOIR OF A DISNEYLAND CAST MEMBER, or maybe even Inside the Mouse: Work and Play at Disney World, The Project on Disney, based on interviews with former Disney employees. Both are excellent books for what they cover, and Web Watch recommends them highly.
But sometimes works like those can offer some views of life at Walt Disney World or Disneyland that are a bit more whitewashed than how things actually were. Looking at working at the Mouse with rose-colored glasses, if you will.
Sometimes we want to see a truth that’s a bit more unadulterated and unfiltered.
Sometimes we want to really pull back the curtain and see what life really is like to work as a cast member at one of the World’s Busiest Theme Parks.

Peter Griffin, Passed Out Drunk
Question for our Web Watch readers: how many drinks does it take before you pass out?
Here’s a better question: when was the last time you drank so much that you did pass out?
Better still: does anyone have photos of you passed out?

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.
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.

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:
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 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.

Compared to drunk men, drunk women don’t sleep very well
I don’t drink anymore, unless it’s wine
Did you know about the medical journal entitled ALCOHOLISM: CLINICAL & EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH?
It covers all types of medical research involving alcohol, such as:
So in a recent study, Web Watch shouldn’t be surprised that scientists were able to conclude that DRUNK WOMEN HAVE PROBLEMS SLEEPING.
