The Happy Hour of Aquarius

Are you having trouble getting drunk? Are your mixed drinks not having the proper effect, fast enough, or perhaps engendering too large a hangover? Does your choice of drink preclude picking up the partner you truly desire and deserve at your local bar?

That's because you are not taking astrology into account! Your zodiacal sign is all-important in determining your proper beverage!

Or so we learn from this magazine pamphlet (source unknown, but probably Playboy of a certain vintage).

Read on, after the jump, and you'll learn what cocktail you should be imbibing!

I'm off to have a Stinger!

Cap'n Ahd--and what was Janis Joplin's sign and favorite mixed drink, I wonder?

Phred22--oh, that's a bad 'un!

Boxed wine is in now, or so says the NY TIMES....

Apparently Jose hadn't been born yet when this came out.

Fred--we're going to have to roust up a different advert for your tastes!

So, what exactly should a Taurus be drinking then? Besides Southern Comfort.

MadC--I'm not sure I'm qualified to answer that. You are going to have to consult a licensed astrological bartender!

This explains why I always feel the need to have an Old-Fashioned every morning. Thank God, I thought I was becoming an alcoholic.

Jackson--glad to provide some instant nostalgia!

Huw--you're a man of fine tastes!

Hana--surely those two substances don't get mixed together?!?

You know, maybe if the daily/weekly horoscopes listed what drink you should favour, I'd actually take them into account.

Scorpio: A sudden love interest will offer you an exciting new career which will lead to romance on the 12th, indigestion on the 14th. Avoid sugary drinks-- stick to scotch until the 18th, when it won't really matter anymore.

Kingmonkey--I think you have a salable idea for newspaper syndication!

Katie--maybe this was Danson's first gig!

Elena--with the vast range of human body chemistires, it only makes sense we'd all metabolize alcohol and its ancillary ingredients differently!
