    Video suggestion : a video explaining the nuances between all of the different types of whiskey like Irish, Canadian, Japanese, Scotch, etc etc. That would be very helpful

      That's a great idea for sure! Even simple things such as when "Whiskey" is spelled "Whisky" without the "e" 🧐

    Whoops, forgot to add Merlot as a red wine option 😆 That's pretty important to know!

    Hey, my dude. Thanks for this. I'm 60 years old and very physically active. I really want to be a bartender. I love a good drink but never go overboard, and would love to make a good drink an experience for people. I have a culinary arts degree but really have no desire to be back of house. Thanks again, can't wait!

    Been serving 20 years at different establishments and the current place I’m at says they’re willing to show me how to make some drinks but couldn’t make me a bartender 🙄 honestly that’s all I need, im trying to add to my resume and I can take this skill wherever I go. I’m going to educate myself and give this a shot. (42) & you can teach an old dog new tricks.

    I'm watching this two months into my first ever bartending job. Funny to listen to you saying how we should hang at the bar we want to work at... 'cause that's what I did, and I got the job! Haha Spent half a year going there every couple weeks. When a spot became available, I was on the bar manager's mind so he called me up. Now I'm learning everything from him. My point with all this: it works!! Thanks for all the other great advice. Keep it up! :)

    Im going to bartending school because I literally have no restaurant experience. I don’t drink and i know nothing about alcohol and all the various kinds.

    Very awesome - I would like to make some extra money and started watching some You Tube for some inspiration. You - are by far, the most influential bartender I have watched. I am RAMP certified but I have never bartended before so that’s not too good. I think I should take your advice and go get some experience at a place on a small scale. Appreciate your content. Thank you. I am from Central PA.

    Interesting video! I'm trying to really hone in on and improve my bartending skills lately! Though funnily enough it's not to make money or work at an actual bar. But I would love to simply do it for fun and offer to play bartender at parties and weddings for friends and family! It lets me scratch that bartending itch but without the stress of doing it as a fulltime job haha
