It is no secret that I like Vermont. With my last trip to the state I was determined to find that which is good in locally made food and drink. This search led me to the town of Bennington. Just outside of the main stretch is a small grouping of pottery, antique and general novelty stores. One shop sells locally made food and wines. I was delighted to see that in the store was a local brewer giving out free samples of his beers. I tried all that were offered, but bought only three. Of the three, my favorite was the oatmeal stout, which is what I will be reviewing today.

Tequila and I have always had an on again, off again relationship. I adore tequila in Margaritas, and I've had a soft spot for tequila shots. But, in my experience, tequila has been the main liquor to have the effect of making people go absolutely crazy. This has happened to me several times, and I won't bore you with the details, but there's something about tequila that makes people lose their minds. Everyone has at least heard of Patron and the exquisite taste it brings to the table, and it lives up to its name in every way, shape and form. The liqueurs, however, aren't as recognized as the straight liquor.

Homebrew 101
By Sexherald Staff
The first written record of beer belongs to the Sumerians who fermented their bread in a watery mush to create an exhilarating and intoxicating beverage. Extolled by the ancient Greeks, beer fell out of favor with the Romans whose warm climates were better suited for growing grapes and making wine. Further north, the Teutonic peoples championed the glory of beer. Trappist Monks produced homebrew as a nutritious form of liquid bread to be consumed with meals or during a fast.

Brain Cells Destroyed by Booze
Q: How many brain cells are killed by one drink?
A: None, actually. The longstanding belief that alcohol kills brain cells is actually not true. Well, at least, it’s kind of not true. According to a study performed at the University of Buffalo on the effects of alcohol on brain function, alcohol doesn’t damage the cells but the dendrites.

Barcelona Bar
Bar Name: Barcelona Bar
Location: 923 8th Avenue, New York, NY, USA
Website: http://www.barcelonabarnyc.com
What to Order: It’s not just a shots bar but a themed shots bar. Many of them are based on movies (my guess is because the bartenders are huge movie buffs). For some of these shots, it’s the equivalent of a dinner and a show. Huge recommendations are the Harry Potter shots

Booze and SexHerald: Not Entirely a Match Made in Heaven but Close
Why is there a Booze section on SexHerald? It seems as though every subheading on the site can’t independently stand from the universe of sex. Except booze. So, why do we exist? Perhaps it’s because sex is just better when you add a little alcohol. Or, maybe it’s because most of our readers wear both a beer gut and a hard-on.
I disagree. Sex has forever been paired up with different stuff: sex and candy; Sex in the City; sex and rock n’ roll.
