So it’s almost certainly just a way for people to nail down demographics (you know, I type in “Drive-By Truckers” and then “Lucero” and then “Gaslight Anthem” and that data all goes into some insane database) but it’s still pretty fun. Type in your favorite band name and see what you’re supposed to be drinking.
Some of my results:
Lucero: 8 oz Maker’s Mark, 8 oz Ice cream, Combine in highball glass, stir. (I’m not really an ice cream guy. Is this a thing?)
Drive-By-Truckers: 12 oz Whiskey, 12 oz Monster Energy Drink (actually, this isn’t too far from what I had last time I saw them: 3 back-to-back-to-back whiskey shots, then slam a cup of coffee. I’m told the show was pretty fun)
Jason Isbell: 4 oz Southern Comfort, garnish w/ cucumber slice (the Southern Comfort part makes sense. If I were dating Jason Isbell, that would definitely be my nickname for him. But I don’t know why garnishing with a cucumber is necessary. EVER.)
Bon Iver: 1 bottle red wine, serve w/ a twist of grapefruit (red wine is kind of lame, but an entire bottle is worth an attaboy)
The Hold Steady: 1 PBR, serve cold (hmm, okay. Although they DO have an entire song about whiskey, citrus, and ginger.)
The National: 1 PBR, serve cold (hey, something’s up here…)
R.E.M.: 1 PBR, serve cold (oh, goddamn it! Okay, I know how to fix this)
Lynyrd Skynyrd: 1 oz Canadian Club, 1 oz coffee (alright then)
Finally, I’m seeing Centro-Matic tomorrow…
Centro-Matic: 4 oz whiskey, 4 oz half-and-half, 6 oz Rose’s Lime Juice (good lord. Between the sweet and the milk, and to a lesser extent the whiskey, this is going to be like being a baby again)
We’ve learned an important lesson today. Apparently, I’m allowed to drink PBR, whiskey, and whiskey combined with stimulants. I AM allowed to drink red wine, however it has to be an entire bottle of red wine.
Anyway, see what you find out about yourself www.drinkify.org
