Alcohol tips for newbie writers (or non drinkers!):
At bars, people who order âchasersâ after their shots are ordering something to wash down the taste of their shot with. This can be juice, soda, more alcohol, or even pickle juice
Hard liquor is generally sold in stores as shots (tiny bottles), fifths, liters, and handles or in ml (50, 100, 200 etc)
Most people canât finish an entire fifth of hard liquor (vodka, etc) on their own without being very ill
Conversely, many people can finish an entire bottle of wine on their own without being ill
Liquor can be âbottom shelfâ or ârailâ or âwellâ â all synonyms for the cheapest version of alcohol a bartender has. Bars generally keep several âlevelsâ of alcohol stocked
You order a drink with the alcohol first, then the mix â e.g., a âvodka sodaâ or a âTitoâs and tonicâ
When you âclose out a tabâ, you pay for all of the drinks youâve had that night. Either the bartender already has your card (you âopened a tabâ earlier) or it was quiet enough that they just kept an eye on you and tallied your bill up at the end
âDoublesâ are drinks or shots with double the standard pour of alcohol
In the US, most shots (pours) are 1.5 oz by default.Â
Mixed drinks (gin and tonic, vodka lemonade, cosmos, etc) are generally made up of 1-2 shots and a mixerÂ
If you donât specify which type of alcohol youâd like in a mixed drink (vodka cranberry, for example) the bartender will put whatever the âhouseâ liquor is â and this depends entirely on the establishment. A dive bar will pour rail by default, whereas a nicer tavern might make all vodka cranberries with Titoâs
PLEASE TIP YOUR BARTENDERS THEY WILL REMEMBER YOU I PROMISE
fatphobia and ableism is so insidious. You can look up like, food, and it'll say "eating a lot of food causes diabetes" and you're like oh dang what? I thought we didn't know the cause of diabetes. So you look up what causes diabetes and it says "we still don't know what causes diabetes" bruh they're just making shit up to give people eating disorders
I don't know what tenth circle of hell my YouTube algorithm fell into, but I really wish it would stop showing me videos of 5 a.m. morning writing routines.
you know i have never heard a convincing arguement as to why AO3 should not moderate the content that is posted to their website and i think a lot of the arguement against moderation on AO3 boils down to, terminally online people thinks community moderation is the same as government censorship and personally sending the cops to someoneâs house to arrest them irl/
