Welcome to the Inaugural post of this fancy little blog. If you didn't read my introductions, I'll recap for you and give a bit more of an explanation as to what you can expect.
The real reason behind me even thinking of starting this up is because I am probably the biggest drunk I know, and have a lot of opinions. It seemed to be a somewhat popular idea, being that almost everyone I told about this had suggestions as to how it should look, the rating systems, and even the name. So I figured, "Why the fuck not, it could be fun".
Basically, what we are going to do is try a new alcoholic beverage, and post a review and a rating every Thursday. This is going to hard liquor, no beer, and no wine. If you want to read reviews of wine, Bevmo has their own blog. If you want beer reviewed, from my experience, if I tell you that a certain brand you like sucks, all you are going to do is just tell me to fuck off and go back to drinking. I should mention that I have a foul mouth, so if you are bothered by course language, I suggest you get the fuck out of here already. Now, you might be asking, "Why every Thursday?". Firstly, I could easily post something new every day, because I do drink that much, but I don't know anyone else who does, so that seemed a little too frequent for a blog about booze. Also, by posting on Thursday, that gives you time to read the review, go to work on Friday, maybe pick up a bottle of the featured product, and enjoy your weekend. Your welcome.
The reviewing process is simple. I'll take the time to do a little research on things like alcohol content, availability, and taste. Keep in mind, nearly every purest would tell you to merely serve your liquor in a glass, with nothing to mix it with. I'll at least recommend somethings that could be included. Although I should tell you that for the most part it is going to be Coca Cola.
The ratings may be a little more complicated, so here is the idiot proof rankings that I decided on.
The Bottle : While I usually don't take this into account when purchasing my liquor, I do know that most people choose their drinks on what is immediately appealing. This score, I'll rate how well, or ugly, or just plain cool the bottle looks.
The Taste : You will get the basic idea of this category from the review, but this will be an actual number score to make things a bit more visual for you.
The Buzz : Naturally, everyone is going to have a different reaction to different types of alcohol. This is basically how good or bad my particular buzz level was, and how long it took to achieve.
The Cost : Shit gets expensive. This is where you get to decide if any of the other factors mentioned will make you more or less willing to try the featured product based on how much it costs.
The Total : The 4 other ratings will all be factored up to an "Out of 100" score. Obviously, if a particular liquor scored more than a 75, it's pretty damn good and you should go get some.
Easy enough? Good. If you have any suggestions as far as what the featured product should be, I'd like to hear it, so email me and who knows, we might just go with it. Other than that, if you have an idea as to how to improve this blog, or completely disagree with any of my rankings, Fuck off. Also email those as well, because I love hate mail.
Cheers.
