Oh hell, how i want one of those Silver Barrel Breaker thingys!<br /> <br /> Any news on the release of Spirituous Journey NO.2?<br /> <br /> Whilst i was here, i thought i'd comment on this article as it is an area i'm attempting to conduct some research into with the Plymouth University School of Dentistry. <br /> <br /> Following the resurrection of cocktail bartending over the past 10 -15 years and in particular the, 'tasting' bartender, the tooth decay/erosion issue is potentially more serious than first thought.<br /> <br /> As an area of occupational health in bartending (long nights, monstrous hangovers and dodgy diets aside), the issue of exposure to citric acids is quite a serious one. It is not necessarily the amount of acid you are exposed to, but rather, the frequency.<br /> <br /> If you're hitting out 3/400 drinks over an evening and tasting them to boot, there is quite a serious health risk. Much akin to the Sicilian lemon pickers who would bite the odd lemon to test for ripeness and then walk around like Wurzel Gummidge in their early 20s.<br /> <br /> Anyways, just a thought, perhaps like VDU users and glasses, Bar Operators in the future may need to consider dental care as part of their employment package!John Clay2010-01-11T11:41:35Z
