It reads like a loose script penned by an indulged lush. Haphazard, potentially plagiarized, misquoted and trying ever so hard to be clever with no avail.

Who touts Oakland as garnishing respect for something such as a libation, but then closes with a backhanded dig like mentioning drive-by shootings? -Because it rhymes doesn’t mean it’s smart. It’s not even ‘cheeky’, it’s just dumb and wreaks of inexperience and taste.

Why no mention of Trader Vic’s location? why not mention other budget-friendly bars that are known for their Mai Tai’s? A link to a recipe? Go back to school and study harder.
