first off i was just wondering if u are on coke, because u seem to have a lot
to say. and second i don't think theres such thing as the 50 most popular
drinks. everyone has there own opinion. but my favorite mixed drink is a white
russian. so u should make sure u have vodka/kahula/cream screw the milk i hate
bars that use milk the cream is so much better
