Last time I was in O'Brien's it was for work. Conference sponsored a pub crawl on Bourbon St. I got a Hurricane, took one sip and thought, "I'm flying tomorrow. I'm not flying hung over." I was looking for a trash can to get rid of it. There was a man, sitting on the curb, with a sign that said, "I'm not going to lie, I want a beer." I asked if he wanted my hurricane. I'd only had one sip from it and it was WAY too strong for me. He said, "Yes, maam, I do." The woman who was with him said, "Look, there are two straws so we can share." I've felt guilty ever since for giving an alcoholic a drink.
My calls are Guinness, Maker's either on the rocks, in an old fashioned or a Manhattan. Every time we've been to the Rose & Crown, I order a Guinness and my DH orders a Harp. The bartender, who took our order, always puts the dark beer in front of DH and light beer in front of me. lol
