In honor of the much anticipated return of The Hills (Tonight! 10PM! Woooo!), I have invited my lady friends over for a viewing party. Lucky for us, MTV has 10-minute commercial breaks, which give us plenty of time to whine, bitch and criticize the many things wrong with Heidi’s new face and boobs.

And what would a party be without some cocktails? Yes, I realize it is a Monday, but it is not just any Monday; it’s the return of my favorite most-awesome-show ever. Even the New York Times is covering it! Celebration is necessary.

I considered many different drinks for the festivities – Cosmos (so out), Martinis (too cliché), beer (not worthy of such an event) – but finally found one that is just right. A drink appropriate for the level of class needed for such a celebration, while also capturing the soul at the center of this show.

When I think of Hollywood, a few things come to mind: drugs, fashion, fake boobs, and fruity drinks.

Hollywood has always struck me as a place where people, regardless of gender, drink things with lots of liquor and sugar.

The Tinseltown of old may have enjoyed their whiskey and scotch on the rocks, but this generation is all about make-up, highlights, and sour mix.

Aiding my hypothesis are the ingredients for this common shot:

The Hollywood

1 part vodka
1 part peach schnapps
1 part chambord
1 part pineapple juice

Layer your shot glass with the liquids in order (beginning with vodka, ending with pineapple juice), toast to your millions, and drink up.

…just remember to be responsible. If too much partying can make Lindsay Lohan look bad, just imagine what it can do to you.

Dances, frat parties, football games, Spring Break: all fun college activities made that much better with the help of our dear friend, Alcohol.And what’s worse than lugging a huge bottle of liquor or a twelve pack of beer? Well, nothing — besides being sober.

I promise, I’m not an alcoholic. But we, as college students, just tend to drink…all the time…for every occasion…or no occasion at all.

Which is why this new product could be one of the most ingenious inventions ever. The Pocket Shot, a $2 shot of liquor in a squish-able, squeezable, travel-able, easy to use package.

INGENIOUS! Read More »
