If days of the week were animals, then we all know Wednesday would be a camel. And according to a leading Australian liquor store, camels are thirsty! So it’s only fitting that on the day of the hump, Melburnians are too and throughout summer there’s a place in town that will be more than happy to quench your thirst.
We all cop those dreary sort of days when we’re feeling unmotivated and way too tired to dress up, let alone actually leave the house to go out to a nightclub or bar. Sometimes you end up giving in to your exhaustion, and decide to embrace having a lazy night in with junk food and a movie. But other times, you feel like you have to go out.
Melbourne’s bar scene is renowned throughout the bar scenes of both Australia and the world, and for good reason. One man across the globe who certainly noticed this was Reg Ridealgh, a London bartender who moved to Melbourne and now calls it home. His years of being a bartender inspired him to open his own bar in St Kilda called Love & Dysfunction.
People usually meet new people through school, university, work, nightclubs, bars, social media, etc; the list could go on for ages. We live in a diverse world and most of us like to expand our horizons and make new friends, which can be very exciting and fulfilling. Some people are shy and may find it more difficult to reach out to other people, so I have accidentally stumbled upon probably one of the most bizarre ways to make friends.
Oh hi, clubbers. You may have heard of a little movie from 2003 called The Room. If you haven’t, that’s okay, heaps of people don’t know it. It’s not something I would recommend for everyone. It was meant to be a very serious romantic drama, but its terrible acting, storyline and dialogue have made it an unintentionally hilarious piece of shit that has a huge cult following.
So have you ever felt the need to add fuel to the fire to see how big the blaze can get? Ever seen the stern look on a security guard’s face and felt the need to try get a reaction out of him/her? It’s like trying to get a reaction out of those soldiers with the big black bearskin caps; it can be funny in a totally disruptive way, yet you don’t think about the consequences until you poke too much and cop what you deserve (uh oh!).
A first for Australian bourbon enthusiasts, bourbon extraordinaire Wild Turkey are releasing their latest drink onto us booze loving Aussies, Wild Turkey’s Spiced Bourbon!
Girls night, you are keen to let your hair down and party with your ladies! Woo! But sleazy Steve won’t give up the chase.
You may think you are original, but I can almost guarantee that us girls have heard most of it before. The classic Joey ‘ How you doin’ does not still stand as a pick up line. In fact, pick up lines in general are pretty shit and 95% of the time don’t work any way.
Scientists are always coming up with new discoveries about the benefits of alcohol, and all you drinkers out there are rejoicing. Well, I’m sorry to say, but most of the benefits do not apply to you, and here’s why:
Australian advocacy group DrinkWise has continued their mission of promoting a safer drinking culture to partygoers and drinkers with their latest campaign entitled How To Drink Properly. While it’s not as simple as raising your glass to your mouth and swallowing the liquid (though the ridiculously drunk have probably forgotten how to do this very basic function, now on the same level as babies getting the “here comes the airplane” treatment when being fed by mummy), it’s a very interesting campaign.
