Alcoholic drinks are great, just the best sometimes. There's
the big fizzy ones, the small ones with warmth, the
medium ones with zing, and all the places in between.
Often, there is a menu, with all the types of booze the bar
or restaurant offers. You MAY have course to pick a wine
that matches
the pasta dish, or you may have course to
pick an old favorite.... however, sometimes budgets are
limited. Say you're a poor student, and you're at an airport
bar. Your $20 note could net you 2 pints of miller lite if
you're not careful. This is where the Boozehound's secret
star comes in. This is simply a subtle indication next to the
drink that offers the best bang for the buck.... perhaps the
Navy rum that was overlooked last time prices were raised,
or the 9.3% beer that is being inexplicably served in full
pint glasses. Small stickers affixed by helpful boozehounds
to guide their brothers in arms.

Not really the same kind of hound, but just noticed the American Humane Society Hero Dog Awards 2012....including Jynx for Law Enforcement/Arson Dogs; |

No one is quite sure how it manages to operate the Zippo... |

Or for those who don't want to get snuckered, these would
be helpful to avoid very powerful drinks. |

The answer is probably cider. |

That's assuming you're too posh for methanol. |

I wonder whether there's a role here for chromium trioxide - which, apparently, ignites alcohol on contact. I don't know how pure the alcohol has to be for this to happen. Of course, you'd only use it if the result was spectacular enough to make the cancer risk worthwhile. |

The answer is always cider. |

(sniffles, I'm 8000 miles away from the nearest scrumpy vendor....but, stiff upper lip and all that) |

There was a tragic tale of a chemist on the US west coast
somewhere who had an unfortunate incident with some
tert-butyl lithium. My employer at the time saw fit to
circulate an email. The text suggested that had this
person been wearing a lab coat they may have lived.
tert-butyl lithium explodes on contact with cotton. No
one told the safety people, because we find that contact
with the safety people only encourages them. |

Barely 6000 miles, actually; you're forgetting the scrumpies
of Tasmania and British Columbia. Also, they do make cider
in Hokkaido, though they may not know to brand it as
sukulunpi. |
