#cocktailrevival

[theacademydrinks]

Author Aaron Goldfarb enjoying a Midday Dragon as we celebrate some ways in which the world has absolutely improved in the past generation.📈 . I’ve covered a range of controversial topics in my career involving all manner of subjects, sometimes graphic, sometimes disturbing. But never have I felt so uncomfortable as discussing the trashy names of silly drinks of the 1980s with the young adults in my Yale class. 🙇🏻‍♀️ Something about the disconnect between the seriousness of a class & the ridiculousness of that time period (which I recall clearly from my 1st time through) made the whole thing weird in a way that simply talking about sex, violence, bodies, art & other difficult topics never has.🙅🏻‍♀️ . I hope Aaron collects his articles on this into a book so everyone else can be as weirded out by the 1980’s as I was. 🧟‍♀️ Writing about topics nobody else is part of a reporter’s job.✍🏽 Looking forward to Robert Simonson coming to talk to the class this week & take us into the next era. It’s no wonder the cocktail revival happened! 🎟 As with all our “Drink History” guests he will will be coming by @116crown to chat after class (tues april 16). Come by if you need a cleansing after even thinking about furry bellybuttons & copulation in the sand while trying to have a nice drink. .🧘🏾‍♂️ (I’m horrified by the hashtags I’m going to append here. But I’m doing it anyway for no other reason than to see what else they hit 😉) #whatimdoingwiththatphilosophyphd #eightiesdrinks #bjshot #80sdrinks #fuzzynavel #sexonthebeach🍹 #screamingorgasm ##screamingorgasm #screaming😱 #dingaling #alabamaslammer #longislandicedtea #pournography [yes that’s a real book] #rayfoley #Cocktailrevival #gotmilk #drinkwater #eightglassesaday #callyourmother #andyourfather (at 116 Crown) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwJfmwbFs4B/?igshid=t1qeqg7l1qog
