I propose a toast to this post with a cup of red dry wine (my favourite drink: long live to the alcoholic drinks! Here is an amusing article from Modern Drunkard Magazine even for those that don’t drink: Ten greatest alcohol icons of all time. The article explains the story of those icons, when they first appeared, why the icon works, a dark secret and when they claimed to fame. The list includes:
- The Striding Man of Johnnie Walker Scotch Whisky;
- The Hamm’s Bear of Hamm’s Beer;
- Captain Morgan of Captain Morgan Original Spiced Rum;
- The Guinness Toucan of Guinness Stout;
- Mr. Boston of Mr. Boston Distillery;
- The Girl in the Moon of Miller High Life Beer;
- The Blue Bull of Schlitz Malt Liquor;
- The Wild Turkey of Wild Turkey Bourbon;
- The Jäger Deer of Jägermeister Liqueur;
- The Bacardi Bat of Bacardi Rum.

Lagauvalin is the best of all time, and beer is always better in England, it’s true.
I thought you might be interested in Dipsomania (http://dipsomane.blogspot.com), a blog that tracks alcohol in the fine arts, as well as Barstool Mountain (http://www.barstoolmountain.blogspot.com/), an off-shoot of Big Rock Candy Mountain, which is a blog devoted to a “Top 100 drinking song” list.
Prost!
I love what I see of your blog, and I hope to see more.
Hi Vaucanson’s Duck ! Thanks for the comment and the tips. I will check it, but the true is, I’m not a huge fan or alcohol. I love wine and one time per year I drink Tequila, but I think it’s all. And… well…I never drink beer. I’m a weird person.
