Bar Trivia	Bet you didn't know that:
If you stacked 12 billion Budweiser longneck bottles end to end it would reach 1.7 million miles, or to the moon and back three times.
Before Prohibition, Shlitz Brewery owned more property in Chicago than anyone else, except the Catholic church.
Over 19 million adults drink wine at least once a week.
If you put a raisin in a glass of champagne, it will keep floating to the top and sinking to the bottom.
Approximately 200 million barrels of beer were sold in the year 2000.
The United States of America's national anthem, the "Star-Spangled Banner," was written to the tune of a drinking song.
In the 1800's liquor was a Beautician's secret!  Yes, rum was considered an excellent product for cleaning hair and keeping it healthy, and brandy was believed to strengthen the hair roots.
No alcohol beverage can be over 190% proof (95% alcohol).  Because at any higher proof, the beverage will draw moisture from the air and self-dilute.
In Medieval times, an alcohol beverage was often served with the English's breakfast.
Old U.S. laws required that alcohol containers be concealed in public by being placed in paper bags or "packages" by liquor stores.  This gave us the names "package stores" that sell "package goods".
The actual term for the fear of alcohol is "methyphobia" or "potophobia".
The term for an abnormal or insatiable craving for alcohol is "dipsomania".
In ancient Rome a piece of toasted bread was dropped into wine to wish one good health -- which is how we obtained our term for a "toast".
All fruit juices, and many vegetables, contain alcohol.
To "mind your P's and Q's" refers to English drinks being served in pints and quarts. In older times, bartenders would advise a customer to mind their own pints and quarts when they were becoming unmanageable.
The sentence "Pack my box with five dozen liquor jugs" is the same as what typesetters use to include all the letters of the alphabet in one sentence.  But our proper English tutors changed it to "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" while teaching typing.

BELLY UP TO THE BAR, BOYS! 

One night at Tony's a man stumbled up to the only other patron in the bar and asked if he could buy him a drink. "Why of course," came the reply.

The first man then asked, "Where you from?"

"I was born and raised here in Houston, Texas," replied the second man.

The first man responded, "You don't say, I was too!  Let's have another round to Houston, Texas."

"Why thank you partner," replied the second man.

Curious, the first man then asked,  "What part of Houston are you from?"

"Montrose," came the reply.

"I can't believe it, " said the first man. "I'm from Montrose too!"

He continued,  "Let's have another drink to Montrose."

"Why thank you again partner," replied the second man.

Curiosity again struck and the first man asked,  "What school did you go to?"

"The High School For The Performing And Visual Arts," replied the second man. "I graduated in '69."

"This is unbelievable!" the first man said. "I went to The High School For The Performing And Visual Arts and graduated in '69, too!"

About that time, one of the regulars came into the Tony's and sat down.

"What's been going on?" he asked the bartender.

"Nothing much," replied the bartender.  "The Montrose Gay twins are drunk again!"

DRINKS AND A GAY MAN'S PERSONALITY 

Seven Houston area gay bar bartenders were asked if they could nail a gay man's personality based on what he drinks. Though interviewed separately, they concurred on almost all counts. The results:

Drink: Beer
Personality: Casual, low-maintenance; down to earth.
Your Approach: Challenge him to a game of pool.

Drink: Blender Drinks
Personality: Flaky, annoying; a pain in the butt.
Your Approach: Avoid him, unless you want to be his cabin boy.

Drink: Mixed Drinks
Personality: Older, has picky taste; knows what he wants.
Your Approach: You won't have to approach him. He'll send YOU a drink.

Drink: Wine - (does not include white zinfandel, see below)
Personality: Conservative and classy, sophisticated.
Your Approach: Tell him you wish Reagan had had four more years...Alzheimer's and term limits be damned.

Drink: White Zin
Personality: Easy; thinks he is classy and sophisticated, actually has no clue.
Your approach: Make him feel smarter than he is...

Drink: Shots
Personality: Hanging with frat-boy pals or looking to get drunk ... and naked.
Your Approach: Easiest hit in the joint. Nothing to do but wait.

Additional note:  If he likes salt on the rim of his Margarita, he swallows.

A guy walked into Tony's and sat down next to an extremely hot man. The first thing he noticed about him though, was his pants. They were skin-tight, high-waisted and had no obvious mechanism (zipper, buttons or velcro) for opening them. After several minutes of puzzling over how he got the pants up over his hips, he finally worked up the nerve to ask him.

"Excuse me sir, but how do you get into your pants?" he asks.

"Well," he replied, "You can start by buying me a drink.
