If you think this particular performance is garbage that's one thing, but you're dismissing the entire concept in general by saying "getting plastered is the experience".
That doesn't make the idea of it irrelevant. If you think this particular performance is garbage that's one thing, but you're dismissing the entire concept in general by saying "getting plastered is the experience".
I absolutely was not. Being facetious is a thing...
By saying 'getting plastered is the experience' you're dismissing the other experience as irrelevant/nonsense. There's no other way to read your comment.
Only there is? Just because you misread it as being literal, doesn't mean that's the only way to read it
Oddly enough, this might help you understand a bit better why it's important to sell the joke for the sake of satire (which, because this is the internet, before you can say it, facetiousness and sarcasm are both pivotal literary tools of satire)
I also wholly maintain that it is foolishly irrelevant and nonsense. Just because something is 'art' doesn't make it automatically good or worthwhile; bad art exists, and this is it my friend. And that doesn't mean that I also don't think that it is an 'experience', it just means that I made a joke while saying that it's a crap experience.
That's a matter of personal opinion. Getting drunk is only as interesting as the people you're getting drunk with.
Maybe you're just boring yourself. I have it on good authority from the grand arbiter of words that I'm a raving lunatic, so drinking alone is clearly never a dull time
Its called flair bartending I'd say a very small percentage of bars, probably less than 1% at any point, were ever intended for this kind of showmanship. It's more of a novelty. Competition history barely extends into the 80s.
Most bars have always just taken your order and poured a drink. Taking this long to make a drink is an unsustainable practice for busy nights, where most of the money making happens. And on not-busy nights its just not really productive.
I think I’m not necessarily referring to the extent to the video, but more so it seems that many in the comments are insisting bartending is little more than grabbing a beer out a freezer or sloppily throwing together ingredients and anything more than that is a waste of time, when at the very least bartending has always had at least a small chunk of showmanship to it.
I’m not insisting every drink needs to be like… a Ramos fizz or something
The drinks here aren’t even that expensive and they taste great. I get it’s not for everyone, but no need to be condescending because someone else enjoys it.
