We may no longer fly under the radar uninformed on major aspects of our lives. It&#8217;s ok to not know that Gaspar No\u00e9&#8217;s film\u00a0<em>Irreversible<\/em>\u00a0contains a french nightclub&#8217;s underbelly fight scene that directly influenced Nicolas Winding Refn&#8217;s film <em>Drive<\/em>, starring Ryan Gosling, in which Gosling, playing The Driver, protects himself and a \u00a0oman in an elevator from a hitman in a similar fashion to the film <em>Irreversible<\/em>. Now, not everybody watches a lot of films, but what a lot of people <em>do<\/em>\u00a0is have a drink. So we&#8217;re not really allowed anymore to not know what we like to drink.<\/p>\n<p>Knowing what you like is sexy. It&#8217;s intelligent, aware, and refined. One of the highlights of being adventurous is that <em>you don&#8217;t know<\/em>, and that is ok because that&#8217;s the point.<\/p>\n<p>Know what you like, and know why you like it. I&#8217;m a dark beer man during the winter but a lighter beer man during the summer. I didn&#8217;t say &#8216;light beer&#8217; man &#8211; i prefer quality over quantity. \u00a0Why? Dark beer just fits the winter months better. It&#8217;s thicker, \u00a0brandished, and fits the bill. However, dark beer is too heavy in the winter; I opt for the opposite: lighter, crisper, and less-filling.<\/p>\n<p>Vodka, scotch, rum &#8211; whatever your poison, know why you like your brands and what separates them. Know this because how you order says something about you. When you order based on y our knowledge, and you don&#8217;t point attention to what you know, you&#8217;re saying more about you than a thousand conversation&#8217;s worth of words. Intelligence is sexy. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. once wrote that the ultimate goal of education is intelligence <em>plus<\/em>\u00a0character. Have both.<\/p>\n<p>And buy her drink.
