The shocking fact that you can carry an open bottle in Las Vegas was shocking to an extent in belief that people will be drawn to drink from the look of normality is as always the same. Being a bartender at a young age of 24 still has me laughing at the loosely used laws that aren't there. I got use to drinking in Las Vegas, again. I loved the surprise of being, so close to Utah knowing the fact that Utah is a Dry State.

Las Vegas Drinking Laws

  • You must be older than 21 to purchase or consume alcoholic beverages
  • Your are allowed to drink in public, but you may not drink withen a 1000 feet near a church or school, hospital and amongst other places such as a homeless shelter.

Utah

A dry state like Utah especially in Saint George brings an easy get away from the erotic Las Vegas. I got the luxury of travelling up there and performing to merchandising gigs which was merchandising. The opportunity of switching out food product and fighting to keep it all in date was amazing. Spent some time around there pantry never forget to stop by.

Bar-tending

While I lived in Miami, Florida I had took a few classes in the spring to become a bartender for the excitement. It was wonderful to learn the trade and showmanship of making a drink. The fun was unending watching now learning the secrets of the drinks. I myself drink a lot of whiskey and vodka, so learning more about recipes and how to make them was an honor.

Tips

The little bar-tending that I have done in Las Vegas I personally have made at least 100$ a night in tips. the amazing fact that it makes that much is a loving position. I as well go on always sticking with the be friendly , listen to the manager and go on with no doubt. The most fun I had was at an arena the manager and senior manager was getting along on how the beer should be poured through it she did it as she wanted end of the night he won.

Drink Recipe

One drink that I found while browsing the web was a vodka root beer float. It looked summertime excellent for almost any occasion from the older birthday party to the summer independence day with Juneteenth. It just looked right to use for this article.

Vodka Root Beer Floats with Coconut Ice Cream

Ingredients

  • 2 cans

Hansens Root Beer (or other natural soda)

  • 4 tablespoons

Quality Vodka (Kahlua and dark rum also worked nicely//2 oz equals 4 Tbsp)

  • 4 scoops

Cinnamon Toast Ice Cream

* Mix it all together in a float style!

Safety

When it comes to it you must always obey the law and stick with safety first coming from and being raised in a zero tolerant state. I can't help, but always include the law like it is my job to raise awareness. How do I stay legal while drinking?

The legal limit to drinking alcohol is 0.08% which means your blood can only contain that much in it to pass a breathalyzer. That percentage is legal intoxication which in people talk means you are past the legal drinking point to drive or operate a vehicle.

Please as you enjoy the holiday always remember to put safety first, so your local bar-tender can sleep easy and make your drinkers faster and better. As well as enjoy your day and night with no risk. Please do not forget to share with all your friends and family. Thank you, again.
