If I ever work in a bar (I have done and probably will do again soon) I would never give someone in any uniform a freebie. I've met too many people who only do it for the free drinks.

Hahah, I don't think you've EVER met anyone who joined the military only "for the free drinks". You may have assumed that someone you've met joined the military for that reason, but if you did, you were probably wrong.Originally Posted by simonj
No. No. No.
I've met people who go out in uniform for the sole purpose of the free drinks (and also just to feel like they're better than everyone else although they don't admit that part).
Ohhhh. Yeah, that doesn't surprise me so much. Sorry 'bout the mixup.
Right now I'm drinking rum and A&W rootbeer.
Bourbon and root beer is a damn good combination, beats the hell out of a bourbon and coke imo. I can only imagine it's equally good with rum.

WTF is thisn cherry shit?

Beer. But I hate that it gives me a gut when I drink it every night for a straight week.
For the record, there is nothing wrong with looking shit hot in your uniform, but getting free drinks because of it is bullshit, especially if thats the reason your wearing it.
I think wearing your uniform for anything other than military related shit is just gay. Like when my brother decided to try to make an entrance one christmas in in his army uniform. I'm like "Jeeeesus dood, you're an MP, nothing more than a glorified pig."
lik dis if u cry evertim
there isnt any cherry in it but the vanilla/lime combonation gives it a cherry taste
my dad also thinks it tastes of bubblegum, which is almost there

I drink what's available. I generally prefer light or dark rum and pale ales but will try anything once and drink plenty of the special.
As for the uniform thing, I've never put on a uniform for the express purpose of going out to drink. Anyone who does is a jackass. I have stopped by bars or the VFW while in uniform. Then again, I've probably gotten more free drinks from people talking to me while out of uniform. One or two is nice from time to time but I prefer to pay for my own. When you are driving and stop off for a beer, it becomes a pain in the ass when the bartender keeps setting bottles in front of you. Now, the case of beer at a grocery store was both unexpected and more than welcome...
On that thought, my brother-in-law did go out drinking with my brother once while he was in the Reserves. Not in uniform but according to my brother he couldn't keep his military ID in his wallet. Then he went active, deployed to Iraq and last I heard had come home on leave and not gone back. Probably too busy bragging about being in the Army at some bar. At least they stopped his pay last I heard.
Sailor Jerry's has a pretty noticeable cherry undertone. It's not strong, but it's definitely there.
Not sure what you mean by "almost full combat gear", but bear in mind that the Army's current combat uniform, the ACU (that greyish-tan camouflaged one with the pixel pattern) is also used as walking-about or "undress" uniform in non-combat situations. For instance, it's what most soldiers wear even if they are just going to be sitting behind a desk all day. The Army's current policy is that the ACU is used in both combat and informal non-combat situations. So if this is what he was wearing, he wasn't actually going around trying to look like a hardass by being in "combat gear", he was just wearing the uniform that soldiers normally wear when not at a formal occasion.

Bacardi Razz or Peach Schnapps when I'm pre-drinking
At a bar I usually have Tequila shots, Porn Star, Liquid Cocaine, and Broken-Down Golf Carts (delicious)
A bar that I've gone to a few times invented a new shot and it was so bad, it was Jagger with something else, but you dipped a cherry in pepper first and yeah.. not good.
no this was before the ACU. it was the DCU, the coffee stains one.
i mean, even that would be fine but the guy had a tactical jakcet on over the regular jacket as well as his riggers belt with a load of kit in it, which he definately wouldnt need in Disneyland.
