Two things -
1. I'm tired of being a sissy 100 pound girl when it comes to drinking. Last night, we went out to celebrate the end of the year, and after two drinks, I was buzzed out of my mind. I've always been that way. Does cutting down on carbs during the day help with this? Should I eat a steak before going out? I want my future children to fear me as if I were Ron Swanson.
2. Where can I go in Birmingham to order real drinks? We went to a local spot in Pelham, AL and I asked for an Old Fashioned. The girl looked at me like I was one of them yankees. So I asked for a whiskey sour and she mixed Jim Beam with a bunch of what looked like Mello Yellow. It was disgusting. Like drinking bourbon flavored cat piss. I ended up ordering a Jameson neat.
But I want to drink like Don Draper when I go out. Not Bubba Smith at a college bar.

For question #1,
1. Gain 100 lbs
2. Start drinking a lot
3. Gain 100 lbs more
4. Eat before you start drinking, carb it up!
5. Start drinking even more
6. Die early of either liver failure, heart attack, stroke, or diabetus.

I forgot about that place. Went upstairs to the fancy California green room and ordered a burger. Best burger I've ever eaten in my life.

Hmmm...now my interest is sparked.

I usually handle it with the right hand. But sometimes I use the left.

Reminds me of Nick Offerman's answer on a Reddit AMA -
"What's your favorite kind of beer?"
"Cold. My 2nd favorite? You guessed it. Warm."

Seriously you should go. They grind it in house and it's not too expensive considering the rest of the menu is $20+.

I've always order a Lindsay Lohan myself. If you've never indulged, it's a red headed slut with a splash of coke.

Just start drinking on a daily basis. I would tell you to get a bottle of Eagle Rare ($30) and drink until you are buzzed every night. After a while you will get to the point that it will take half the bottle to make you buzzed, which can really hurt the pocket book btw.
On the second, I know nothing of B'ham except JClydes and I have only been there once. I don't remember them having all that good of a spirit menu, but the beer menu is pretty damn good. So is the food. Ahh what she poured you was the cheap ass sweet and sour that you can get at any grocery store. If it's not made with lemon juice, sugar or syrup, then it's not a whiskey sour.

Oh...and #6 by default.

The karaoke guy there blows.
Literally, for $20 he will take you out back and blow you. Great service.

No suggestions for Hogan's off 280?

For a guy my age The Social Grill is a good place to drink and twirl the women around. It sort of reminds me of some notable Nola experiences. Not saying it's comparable but you can get real drinks and have fun, the latter which is basically about attitude and numbers and Tuesday's ain't bad.
Can't speak for the younger crowd but I can find out by my half dozen 30 something single nephews.
We occaisionally cross paths. It's pretty strange sometimes and they don't pay for shit!

At a wedding rehearsal at 5 Star Plantation in Kellyton. Bar tender said he didn't have the ingredients for an Old Fashioned but may tomorrow at the reception.
I want a gentleman's drink dammit.

Start drinking Manhattan's. Only ingredients are whiskey and vermouth. Everyone has the ingredients and will get you acting unclassy with class.

Finally got my Old Fashioned fix.
Went to the liquor store and bought the ingredients myself. I make a killer Old Fashioned. I'm on my third already.

I know nothing about this thread.
If I drink I get vodka and mountain dew. or dr. pepper. Or vanilla vodka in a coke.
Everything else tastes like Jeremiah Johnson's ass water to me.

I handle my alcohol by giving it to someone who can handle it, because I cannot. :facepalm:

I feel you JR. This is something I have been trying to really put and emphasis on as of late but for different reasons other that my diet. Its not easy especially when there are many things that one has associated drinking with.

If one of those things is death, then it makes it much easier.
