The Margarita is a cocktail found on the ‘classics’ list in a cocktail menu. It is one of those cocktails that a bartender can make for you even if it’s not advertised. They know what it is, you know what it is, everyone knows what it is, and it doesn’t have an embarrassing name to say.
Being designated driver isn’t always the best fun, especially if your friends are getting totally hammered and you have to look after them or stop them from calling their exes. But the drive home can be worse. These are the 5 worst things that I found about being designated driver and I’m always keen to return the favour.
When we’re kids, our parents would have to take us everywhere; parks, the movies, the shops, and even to parties because they couldn’t get drunk at because no babysitters were available that night, so the little ones had to come along too. Taking your kids with you everywhere you go is Parenting 101, but not many people realise that one day the kids will be taking care of their parents.
I have a friend who was born with a special gift. No, it’s not two penises (what?). It’s better. He was blessed with the enviable ability to be able to drink as much as he wants, without any consequences. Actually, there was that sexual harassment charge, but for the purpose of this article I’m talking about the dreaded hangover. He just doesn’t get them.
With the Easter long weekend only a few days away, there will soon be a lot of partying going on and plenty of drinks going down. It’s

So it’s been a long and arduous week and you’ve finally made it to the weekend. You’re out at your favourite club with your pals, the music is pumping and the drinks are flowing, but you realise that something is missing. Somehow the night doesn’t quite feel complete.

Drinking on the weekend is a necessity for some people; without alcohol there is no fun, it would be just a normal, boring Saturday or Friday night. Your mates decide it would be fun to get a straight bottle and a shot bucket that should be enough for pre drinks.
