No David, you don't know this. You may think it, and more power to you, but 
you really don't know it.

In my line of work I visit many great bartenders and they make great drinks 
for me, with great banter and personality. And they all do things a bit 
differently from each other, and that's one of the things that's great about 
it.

I suppose though, as I never tend to order red or blue drinks I have no point 
of reference on that particular subject - your time may be better utilised 
compiling a list of the best places to get blue drinks.

There IS a guide to carpentry, and a mandatory qualification too, and guess 
what, there are still some cowboy tradesmen doing rubbish work... it's really 
more about the individual being passionate, enthusiastic and skilled. Your 
'douchebag' method of training may not be the key to unlocking this enthusiasm.

Good luck to you though matey, I am currently sitting next to one of the more 
stellar drinks books collection in the UK and if your 'mega-manual' could 
render them obsolete then it would certainly free up some shelf space here.

PS. I rather boringly change all my lightbulbs in pretty much the same 
fashion, any advice?
