I know you don't want to acknowledge that the superficial Hallmark holiday is about a week away, but it is, and single people everywhere should be prepared. We know you have excuses for not snagging Mr. Right (again) this year, but save them for your mom. You'll definitely be needing alcohol to either survive the night, so here are ten Valentine's Day cocktails that won't disappoint.

Old people! It never really looks like they're having that much fun, does it? Whether it's reading Newsweek (that magazine still exists, right?) with a magnifying glass or filling their refrigerators with batteries, our nation's elderly have perfected the art of making all tasks seem like laborious chores. Even golf, once that most noble of ways for rich white people to escape their hellish families and drink all day, is now the exclusive purview of those nearly too feeble to lift their clubs.

In an attempt to discover how hard liquor bonds us all, Bushmills Irish Whiskey hired some cameras to capture the beginnings of new friendships, animosities and (maybe) rivalries at the Bowery Hotel Terrace yesterday.

We recently told you that a proposed sin tax on soda would make a sixer of hops cheaper than a pack of pop. Not anymore!  The New York Health Department now hopes to raise taxes on alcohol, robbing New Yorkers of one of the last vices to have escaped the finger-wagging clutches of the nanny state. More»
