The Happy Hour blog over at GIZMODO has an interesting article, a rather well-developed approach that analyzes a few of those alcohol-related rumors. The one that interested me most pertained to mixed drinks, you know the ones that don't make you choke, gag, or barf. Coincidentally they're also the drinks that put on the receiving end of the jests from friends, joking that you can't handle the "rougher" stuff, or making you out to be the "bitch" or "pussy." Not all is as it seems.
