What is that a photo of you ask?

The answer: Mustaches

A new craze in the bars of St. Louis…and Illinois…and possibly everywhere. It started with people just drawing mustaches on their fingers and taking drunken pictures but as the craze continued and mustaches started appearing everywhere, they started selling the mess out of mustache accessories. Now you can actually buy mustaches with a ring that clips onto your beer bottle so that when you put it to your mouth you have a mustache. See Exhibit A

This photo got me thinking about the lastest, most popular drinking crazes. Here are some others that are popular right now.

#1 of course is The Mustache (If you don’t have one already, you probably need to get out more)

2. RumChata: I just saw this photo on Facebook the other morning of Rumchata and Cinnamon Toast Crunch (not that I’m suggesting it should be a milk replacement, but I think it was Mardi Gras so its ok). Anyway, it’s literally everywhere…in commercials, on the radio, on signs outside of liquor stores. I’ve heard it’s becoming hard to get your hands on because it’s so popular. People don’t even bother with mixers anymore, they just drink it by the bottle. If you haven’t tried it yet, get to it.

3. Bud Light Platinum: If you’re in a Miller state such as Wisconsin it may not be very popular but if you’re not, you’re probably seeing it everywhere. I’m a Bud Light drinker and when Bud Light Lime came out, I did not jump on board, but this beer is actually even lighter tasting than Bud Light and has a higher alcohol content, so what’s not to like? People apparently like it because I’ve been seeing it everywhere.

4. Loopy and Sprite: Oh my! Now this is some good stuff! I’d been hearing about some drink that tastes like Fruit Loops and gosh darnit if I didn’t finally get to find out on Mardi Gras and it really does taste exactly like Fruit Loops! Listen, I rarely think that alcohol tastes like anything other than alcohol (hence my being a Bud Light drinker and my fear of shots), but this absolutely does. It is a must try, which should be easy because every bar is now carrying it.

5. Every flavor of vodka known to man: See #4’s Loopy (Fruit Loop flavored vodka by Three Olives). Along with it are flavored vodkas like: cotton candy, cucumber, birch, dragon fruit, espresso, pickle, ginger, bacon, bison grass, tomato, rose, horseradish…I mean what the hell is this nonsense? They just keep making them! That’s not even a quarter of them either. What’s next? Asparagus…prime rib…Salt flavored vodka? Yuck! It’s nonsense but it’s hot right now.

If you didn’t know about them, now you do. Did I miss any?
