If You're Going To Be On The Society Page, Put Down The Beer
As someone who peruses the society page of a couple of different magazines here in town, I've got a bit of a pet peeve. You have a guy that is dressed nicely, at a high class function, stone cold munchin', and standing next to an attractive woman who's a date/spouse/person whom he'd like to impress enough into one or the other, and he's got a beer bottle in his hand. Worse, given that this is St. Louis, it's usually an Anheuser-Busch product of some sort. Some examples:
Man with best friend and a woman The bottle doesn't go with his tie
Hiding it with a napkin doesn't work Camouflaging it against your shirt only works if you're wearing a Budweiser shirt
Jeez, boys, show a little class. Put it down for the photo. I know you don't want someone else to get your precious beer, but even if someone else grabs it, it's only a Budweiser. Look at it as a sign from providence, and get something real to drink.

Notice those people amongst you, your betters, who understand that a cocktail glass doesn't make you look like a frat boy. Take the hint.

Also, a quick note to recruiters: if you find my name on LinkedIn, Google my name, visit this blog to get my e-mail address, and then try to tempt me into an entry-level position at Anheuser-Busch for which you think I'm suited, please, take a moment to search this blog for what I say about Anheuser-Busch and its products. Rest assured, someone there will, and you'll find they don't think I'm suitable at all. Thank you, that is all.

So come on Fatso, and just bust a move.
 



If you want it, baby you got it.
 



Oh come now, nothing says class like an aluminum Bud Light bottle/can/thingie!
