The Watering Hole: A Bartender's Breakdown of the Bipedal Drinking Establishment

By Jay Reid

A parodic nature documentary that dissects the absurdity of the human drinking establishment, 'The Watering Hole' highlights and analyzes barroom identities, customs, and behaviors such as tipping, wine snobs, last call, sex, fighting, creepers, bartender ethics, and of course, the proverbial bar regular, 'Wild Bill.' Bartenders past and present, with input from legendary bar frequenters, explore the concepts of psychology, sociology, and mixology that are often prevalent during a night out at the neighborhood bar or tavern.Each topic is introduced by a fictitious roughneck Aussie zoologist named Willy who was tasked with entering and documenting the strangest and most unpredictable environment known to man--the bipedal watering hole.Part-case study, part-anecdote, and part-drunken bar speak, this unique reflection on the place that so many of us love to visit will leave you laughing, crying, and wanting to puke all at the same time.
