Here we are once again, ready to celebrate another end to one year and beginning to what we hope will be a great one. I want to thank all of my readers for everything you've done in 2013. We have had a great response to the cocktail contests and other interactions through the year and I hope that I've helped you along in your cocktail journey.

The coming year promises to be just as exciting and I hope you will continue to join me in 2014. Happy New Year! Stay safe, Cheers!

New Year's Resolutions for the Discerning Drinker
Bellini

Every New Year’s Eve people make promises to change something about their lives and by the middle of the month many of these resolutions are forgotten. Maybe the willpower isn’t there or it could be that our goals are too lofty or too numerous. Whatever the reason, it's not likely that this tradition will be lost anytime soon and it’s worth it if there is even one resolution, no matter how small, that goes unbroken and is beneficial. Here are a few resolutions that may pertain to your drinking lifestyle. Some are fun, a few are serious, but all are easy to keep and will make for happy drinking in the New Year. Check out the resolutions...

New Year's Hangover Help
Bloody Mary

There is one last piece of business that we have to deal with when it comes to New Year's. That is the nasty subject of the hangover, which I know from years of writing here will be the topic on many minds comes January 1st. Some people prefer to be prepared for the inevitable and will have their hangover cures at the ready before the party even begins. This approach is advisable, especially if you face the reality that it is likely that you will wake up feeling at least a little blah. My advice is to have your favorite hangover remedy on hand just in case.
