Calm down David, any of your above points may or may not be correct, as you don't know me, what I do, how old I am or how much money I make. And I'm not about to dignify your rantings by claiming anything about myself. But it would seem to be demonstrably clear that I have a better education than you: Milieu ...

Do I have to explain myself? This is upsetting, but you are probably right. AGAIN I DO NOT WANT TO GO TO A BAR WHERE THE BARTENDER DOESN'T WATCH HIS DRINKS! There are so many places to avoid now. anyway, a christmas party for example? douche loser in accounting wants to get laid, he sees the chance at this ...

May I reserve judgement on answering that first question for a few more posts? I think I know the answer though... As far as punches are concerned I suppose it all depends on the type of friends, family and co-workers you have. My suspicion is that in his own particular milieu David's concerns may be valid.....

For the most part, punches are not made in an establishment, but at home for friends, family, co-workers, etc. as a celebratory drink that can be made in mass quantities for efficiency and a sense of comradeship. So the date rape drug reference makes no sense. ...

i'll say again, jokes on forums don't convey the right message. what am I an idiot? sveral books (including mr. boston) have entire sections dedicated to punches, I was simply pointing out that date rape drugs and other pills are out there and a punch may not be the best idea in todays society.

ummm, as a matter of fact the drink contest last year for Tales of the Cocktail was punch. Charlotte Voisey won. And David Wondrich's new book is all about punch and its history.

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. ...

people still make punches? well, with kids and their pills I wouldn't recommend leaving any beverage unattended these days. now there was someone looking for a fourth of july shooter in an earlier post. any recipe for this is not appealing to any taste. ...

July 4th Drinks?

Hey! Does anyone have any specialties they are making this weekend? Cocktails or punches.. Really interested to here what you guys are making over in the US Cheers from London!

Davidh — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 10:19:53 UTC

I completely misread an earlier post. I thought you said that you both might have written some books. anyway, my book is called "the official professional bartender's guide" not that I am shamelessly plugging something, because it isn't even edited yet, much less submitted. But if you would like a copy, I am more than willing to share my knowledge. ...

Davidh — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 09:52:10 UTC

I cringe at the thought of plastic cups and traffic accident lawsuits. $5k is impressive. i've always wondered the risk associated with a bar of that magnitude. Locally we have clubs shut down almost quarterly, for different reasons noise complaints, deaths, accidents, number of dui's issued from patrons leaving the establishment. it's alot of headache and I don't even know anything about it. I can't imagine the pressure.

this is true, I am very confused. DAN, you know what they mean. and if you are the great you are, I know you don't tell your guest "that's not a zombie, it's my zombie" hey DAN! sharing recipes and knowledge is great.

When I get an order for up to 6 beers, I first grab 2 beers in my left hand, one neck between my thumb and index, another between my index and middle finger... and then grab the remaining four beers two at a time with my right hand from the fridge... positioning my left forearm horizontally across my chest, inserting the beers in a row between my chest and forearm, and holding the bottles firmly in place by pressing my forearm up against my chest.

Dano_ — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 07:43:58 UTC

Um, no. Not sure what high-volume bar you're working in, but when you're selling $5000 there's no time or need for that nonsense. Do what he's advising here, and you'll be out of a job fast. Don't put a cocktail napkin under every drink you make either, unless you want your bar and the floor covered in wet, ...

Tini's Law

apetail — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 07:43:54 UTC

Converting Godwin's Law to be applicable to the webtender forum: "As a thread becomes such large that it hits the right side of the screen (or alternatively the end of the

cascade), the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 1."

Re: Weighing Bottles & Inventory

apetail — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 07:23:56 UTC

Part 1: To measure how much bottles you have: bottles in use can be counted as following. mass current bottle - mass empty bottle Ratio = -------------------------------------------- mass full bottle - mass empty bottle (As the mass of a current bottle is always between the mass of a full bottle and an empty bottle the value of 'Ratio' is always between 0 and 1.) ...

He's getting his threads mixed up again... It was this guy over *here* that says he wrote a book: http://www.webtender.com/iforum/message.cgi?id=83636&show=21&sort=thread Although he didn't quote the title, probably through a deep fear that someone may then track him down and come to his bar and "fill up a chair" by being "obsolete". ...

You are confused

Dan the Melon Man — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 02:05:49 UTC

You are almost making sense here. If you'd *said* "I know it's not a Zombie" back here when you insisted it *was* a the same thing http://www.webtender.com/iforum/message.cgi?id=83515&show=21&sort=thread then you wouldn't have looked so silly. Anyway. For everyones sanity, please try to make a note of which person you are ranting at at a time. It may make you seem slightly less mad. ...

I'll definitely need to try/practice different ways of holding/hugging beers, so far 4 is my max (two in each hand).

heh, well i guess were all entitled to our opinions and way of doing things... As for the servers running behind your bar, that should be an immediate write up.
