Coca Cola backlash after Superbowl AD

Unless you're a hipster or a time traveler from the prohibition era, who cares about gin.

As for your last part.

Gimlet - 4 parts gin 1 part lime (hard to do in ounces since you never want more than a half ounce of lime unless someone requests it heavy)
Yellow Rose of Texas - 4 parts tequila 1 part yellow chartruese (sp?) 4 parts pinapple juice fill with club sode
Aviation - Gin, grenadine, lemon and something I'm forgetting
I'm assuming by New Standard Manhattan you're going with the Rye, bitters, and sweet vermouth. Though I'm not 100% where you're going since there are many different kinds of Manhattans. Personally if I have to pretend to be trendy and drink a mixed drink like that I'd go with a Rob Roy since Scotch is superior to Rye. And Though if I had my way I'd rather have that scotch neat with maybe a few drops of cold water.

I'm not saying I don't own lesser boozes but I don't spend serious money on them. Why would I spend 25 bucks on Jack Daniels or Jim Beam when I'd only shoot it, mix it, or chase it and instead I can get something ****ty for 15 and walk out with 4/6 of aweome beer that I can start the night off with before switching to inferior liquors.

As a smart fellow, I'm sure you know the basic history of the cocktail lets you know that the rise of many of the drinks you listed coincided with prohibition, where you had a switch from whiskey to gin (faster aging) and the reason they added so many ingredients is because the liquor sucks. Now that we live in a world where we don't have to consume inferior booze, I see no reason why I shouldn't just enjoy my quality scotches and bourbons, and what nots.

Cheap drunks.

Until the Coke logo came up, I thought it was going to be an ad for religious tolerance from some non-profit (and if it had been a non-profit, they would have remained so given the ad prices).

I just thought it was an odd ad. I didn't find it offensive.

Cheap drunks. Hmmmmmm. It'll be 30 years dry in April (and it's only been the monthly communion wine since then), but here's my Hall of Fame:

And good out of the bottle or floating on top of the Colt .45 for quick blitzo pleasure (warning, comes with heavy hangover), Mogen David 20/20:

So as not to derail this thread anymore (though it may be permanently of its tracks), I've responded here.
 
I couldn't care less about any of this, but I must say if anything I was offended by the incredible cheesiness of this year's commercials, this one included.

I don't know for sure if she really said this or not, frankly I was scared to look but thought I'd share it with you guys nevertheless...

It's a pretty brilliant line, you have to admit. I guess that's why it's survived so long.

Probably gets used in some variation or another at least once every Sunday, and not only in Texas.
 
I'm offended if any of you think English should be our official language. We declared independence from goddamn England almost 240 years ago.

We speak 'Murican in this here country.
