Make no bones about it, New Orleans is in no short supply of bars; ranging from the most ragged watering holes around to the most exquisite martini lounges. I’ve often wondered how much alcohol is actually consumed on an average Saturday night in New Orleans. I’m sure the dollar amount and the sheer volume would be staggering. Even more interesting, would be to find out how much of that alcohol is actually kept down and figure up a percentage of ultimately digested booze. I’ve woke up many a Sunday mornings in New Orleans, giving myself the same speech of, “If I just survive today, I promise I will never drink again!” As with many of us, that solemn vow normally last a whole day or so, quickly searching for the hair of the dog that bit me! I’ve always loved that old saying. In a completely unrelated piece of useless information, I once read that the famous saying came from centuries ago, when individuals were bitten by a rabid dog. At the time, they believed the cure was to take a pinch of the rabid dog’s fur and actually rub or stuff it into the wound. Sounds very sterile!
