Drink - Think - Link for April 26th, 2009

Drink

Today’s drink is the Trailer Park Girl. The drink tastes a bit like grape Kool-Aid ® and goes down just as smooth. It doesn’t taste like it has any alcohol in it which can be both its charm and its danger.

1 oz Monarch ® vodka
1 oz Grape Pucker ®
1 oz Triple Sec
½ oz Sweet and Sour

The drink is normally shaken with ice and then served straight up in a martini glass. It’s a bit of an oxymoron, but for a more upscale Trailer Park Girl substitute Chambord ® for Grape Pucker ® and Grey Goose ® for Monarch ®.

Think

Ever want a nice buzz on a work-night? The best policy here is to have the alcohol enter your bloodstream quickly. This will minimize the amount of alcohol you need to consume to get a buzz and will also give you time to sober up before bed. In this circumstance be sure to drink on an empty stomach. A Martini, a Manhattan, or a shot of Tequila are great. If you prefer a mixer, carbonation causes the alcohol to enter your bloodstream faster. Have one or two drinks before dinner and several glasses of water after dinner. You’ll have a pleasant evening and no hangover the next day.

MADD is the mother of all drunken driving links. MADD is currently pushing legislation to force breathalyzer interlocks on all vehicles. While this may overstep the role of government, it does illustrate a key point. Experts believe breathalyzers can play a vital role in reducing the tragic impacts of drunken driving.
