As Coca-Cola is from Atlanta, you’d kind of get the feeling that we’d have access to all the latest and greatest products the company produces. Well, not so much …
Prime example number 1: there’s apparently a coke machine in Hong Kong that doles out bottles of coke that will freeze upon the introduction of H20 (also known as opening the bottle). Pretty awesome stuff … though I’m not entirely sure why they couldn’t just sell coke that’s already frozen.
Comedian Nick Swardson was kind enough to document what happens in the event you consume 28 boozerific drinks. Basically, your world will turn into a zombie like movie filled with a bunch of booze hounds. Yeah, a little NSFW – so turn plug in the headphones if you’re worried someone nearby will get offended.

I’m not sure if this encouraging kids to smoke or drink, but regardless … I think by showing this here it’s now apparent that I like to contribute to the delinquency of minors. Oh well! Merry Christmas.

Luck is an attitude … and this little “what if” commercial shows why. Why did I post this on a food blog? Because it’s an advertisement for Martini. Mmmm … The spot is about two-minutes long and is mean to show how taking a little chance can go a long way.

Alcohol optional in this bad boy. Freshly squeezed watermelon juice comes courtesy of Guy Wong’s Miso Izakaya. And while I have your attention, check out this article on The Kitchn about watermelon cocktails.

It is tomato season, so when life gives you 25 lbs. of fresh tomatoes, you make a shit ton of delicious Bloody Mary mix. Thanks to one David Dreyer, a friend who I don’t spend nearly enough time with, I have a liter of Double-D’s Bloody Mary mix in my refrigerator. Rather, I had a liter but have consumed more than my fair share in the 24-hours since it arrived on my doorstep. While the exact recipe remains under lock and key, here’s a little rough guideline for you.
H&F Bottle Shop, that long awaited and much delayed upscale liquor store from the gang at Holeman & Finch, appears ready to say hello world. According to the facebook feed of one of the owners, part one is set to open next week. Though no such mention can be found on their facebook page, this seems like a reliable source to me.
The shop is located in the Peachtree Battle Shopping Center, just north of their eponymous restaurant, and they will run M-Sa 11a-11pm until we get rid of that stupid no liquor on Sunday law. Complete with an on premise sommelier, a bevy of boutique liquors, and even some recipe cards so you can do your best Greg Best at home. I don’t think there’s a person in this city who thinks this place will fail … and count me in as one of the anxious customers. I’ve also heard really cool things about the order fulfillment process … so be ready for that when you first buy!
YAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!

A new website/blog is on the scene and it goes by the name of ThirstySouth.com. While I’m going to bet most of y’all have a knack for the obvious … in case you don’t: Thirsty South is dedicated to all things drink. They have an excellent photographer on staff and have already hit up Perrine’s Wine Shop … the best wine shop in town … which also happens to be the newest wine shop in town. Check out the post and tell me the blog doesn’t have mad potential.
Anyway, the site will cover wine, beer, libations & cocktails, coffee, tea, and pretty much anything else that takes liquid form. I think there’s a lot of potential for this thing to go big … so get in early! I’ll leave you with this lifted photo … good stuff … good stuff! Don’t forget to follow their facebook page and the twitter feed for all the good tids and bits.
Thank you Mr. Harion. Tony (aka Mauricio) has just put together the best drinking game in the history of drinking games. Take one part childhood memories and mix it with one part adult debauchery … what do we get? That’s right … Battleship the bar game. Coolness!!!!!
More pics are available on the website.
