What do you know, it's martini o'clock
The 10 best booze moments in cinema have one thing in common: they have nothing to do with Tom Cruise. They are:, when he gets into a pint-chugging contest in a Nottingham pub and gets so bladdered he falls down the stairs.3. Robert Shaw inBridesmaids5. James Stewart in6. Jack Nicholson in, when he goes big on the pinot noir and shit gets emotional.9. Richard E Grant inGoldfinger
Of all the examples, high and low, the last one is probably the one that has earned a place in my daily life. It's true, I'm Scottish –"I cannot help it," as James Boswell once said – but the thing about 007's martini, and martinis in general, is that they can be shown to turn an otherwise damp evening into something on fire.
Of course, the abstemious will rightly object, and so will the addicted, who deserve all our pity. But I grew up with an alcoholic and I would suggest that, as well as all the pain and all the reasons, an alcoholic is basically a boring drinker. The cocktail shaker is not his thing and neither is human company, really. Cocktails are the province of the eternal optimist and the wishful think. Just look at the names: Cosmopolitan, Mai Tai , Manhattan, Sex on the Beach.
