Fire Island Rocket Fuel Recipe Guide

Memorial Day weekend has come once again, and with it, hoards of booze-hungry partygoers will be hitting the beaches of Fire Island for another summer of wasted salaries, dead end relationships, and of course rocket fuel. I'm familiar with all those other things, but what is a rocket fuel? If

Nordmarkt: Where Crack Heads And Children Live In Harmony

My hitchhiking from Maastricht to Dortmund goes well and I arrive in Germany earlier than expected. Two hours until I am expected at my host's apartment - I guess it's a good time for a celebratory beer. I find my host's place to get my aimless wandering out-of-the-way and then head to the

10 Things You Should Know About Belgium

Before arriving in Belgium I heard from multiple groups of travelers that, "it was the one place they would have skipped" given the chance to "do it over" (no regrets, people). Undeterred, I decided to find out for myself. The verdict? I haven't the slightest clue what these people were

Milk In Brazil: I Want To Go Home

As the most dominant species on the planet, us humans enjoy feasting on the milk of unsuspecting animal mothers from time to time. In order to best prepare milk for human consumption, I personally believe that the following are an important part of the milk cartoning process: Ensure that the

The $130 Bottle Of Beer

Long had I heard stories of this beverage, but my first encounter with it in the wild occurred whilst perusing the drink selection at a supermarket in Florianópolis. This beer, brewed by Brouwerij Bosteels in Belgium (and appropriately names Deus, or God in Portuguese, because it contains some

Nescau: A Delicious Alternative To Brazil’s Milk

A magical drink called Nescau, manufactured by Nestle (who also brands water in Brazil), exists in the grocery stores of Brazil. This drink apparently gives you energy (at least I assume so because of the lightning bolt on it, and because the word "FAST" is written on the side in English),

Drinking in Israel: Arak (ערק)

In Brazil you have cachaça, in Russia you have vodka, in the Caribbean you have rum, and in Israel, you have Arak. Arak (uh-rock or ar-ick if you're trying to have an accent) is a member of the anis drink family, and tastes (as some of you more seasoned drinkers may have guessed) like black

Rocket Fuel: Fire Island’s Drink of Choice

People come to Fire Island to do two things: to escape the horrors of Long Island, and to get drunk off their asses and make fools of themselves. Now these two groups are not mutually exclusive, but it's those from the latter who interest us today. Most of the steroid pumping misogynistic

Brazil’s Coke Obsession

Thing I associate with the Coca-Cola brand: polar bears, Santa, Jack Daniel's, Pepsi and now, Brazil. Walking through a market here you would think that Coca-Cola was the only soft drink distributor as apart from varieties of Coke, you will usually find only Sprite, Fanta (both distributed by
