Despite Recession, Americans Still Prefer Top Shelf
Yesterday model and actress Molly Sims announced the interesting results of the 2008 National Survey of American Cocktail Culture, Attitudes, and Trends. The survey — conducted by drinkwell.com — asked consumers about their drinking perspectives. Steve Wallet, VP of Diageo, which sponsored the survey, summarizes the results: Our focus on cocktail culture continues to expand, prompted by pop culture influences like "Sex and the City," an increased awareness of quality brands, and bartenders with skills rivaling chefs — all making our choices of where to go and what to drink even more integral to Americans' lifestyles.The study revealed that 58 percent of Americans are willing to pay more for top shelf brands.

Can I See Some ID?
In a recent survey conducted by The Nielsen Company on behalf of Anheuser-Busch, 95% of American adults think that, while inconvenient, ID checking is a worthwile way to reduce underage drinking. The survey was taken to determine how people view the effectiveness of ID checking. The survey also discovered that 94% of the people think that those who sell alcohol should be trained to spot fake IDs.
British Men Love Gordon Ramsay
For an upcoming issue of British Esquire, 500 men were interviewed for the State of the British Man Survey, and it turns out that the most admired British man is none other than celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay. I guess British men just like a guy who's in charge and knows it. Although, oddly enough, Professor Stephen Hawking ranked second on the list.
Will Ferrell Makes People Think of Peeps?!?
I read the weirdest press release last week. The folks over at Just Born (the folks responsible for Peeps, the Easter marshmallow tradition) announced the results to their annual Peeps Celebrity Survey. With a name like that, I assumed they surveyed celebrities, but no, that's not true at all.
What Do You Call a Soda?
This map shows the popular generic names for soft drinks by county. I'm really surprised, I thought more states used the word "soda" instead of "pop" and I actually didn't realize that so many people used the word "coke" to mean all soda.

So hey, what do you call a soda?
What Do Men Like to Cook?
Uncrate, which dubs itself as a web magazine for guys who love stuff, recently asked their readers (mostly men) what their favorite dish to cook was. Some of the highlights include "Meat + Hot Coals," reservations, chicken parmesan, and asparagus risotto, but there were also a surprising number of chocolate responses (chocolate cookies, chocolate beer stew). My favorite comment came from one reader who said:
If you're a guy and can't make Prime Rib, you may as well put on a dress.
