8. Bartending school in Harrisburg - 40 hours of class time.
"Popular" changes constantly. Start with the "Black Book" and keep notes.

4. Many years experience
most recently ATZ for 2 years.

Multiple liquore drinks aren't as popular but mixed shots certainly are. Most people drink beer, wine or the usual rum and coke but I've made a billion red snappers, red headed sluts, jager bombs, etc. Martinis, cosmos, margarita's are all still popular but I don't think I have ever made a Harvey Wallbanger.

5. Yeah when I was tending bar Red Bull wasn't stocked...
I guess I'm making it out to be way worse than it really is. What is AZT? I think it's all the new fangled martinis I'm nervous about.

7. I work at a bar, but not as a bartender
I'm the karaoke DJ, but the drink that goes over the most where I work is the Washington Apple: Crown, Apple Pucker, and a bit of cranberry juice. Now that we've got the UV cake in, we've been mixing a lot of drinks with that too. As for me, I'll stick with my non-light beer and Firewater.

11. Washington Apples have always been pretty popular, even in my day
all ages liked them. UV Cake wasnt out yet though. There weren't so damn many flavors of Vodka then.
