Stoli Hotel in Atlanta - Leave the Vodka, Keep the Party

Having been to events sponsored by Guinness, Chivas, Glenlivet, and Johnny Walker I have a pretty good idea of what to expect at these things. At the above events, you are going to have good food and a cozy group of people - but it will largely be a sausage fest. Try as I might, I have found few girls who absolutely love irish stouts and scotch whisky.

Vodka is a different story. Vodka is for people who want to drink water and get drunk at the same time. In other words, vodka is for women. And given that Stoli threw a party in Atlanta to celebrate its new Vitamin Water flavored vodka - I knew that there would be a ton of women in attendence. I was right.

The party started off right as I strolled into the Mason Murer building and saw an artist painting a hot naked chick near the wall. As the place filled up and the drink lines got longer, I wandered around and saw a lot of old friends. As the night got longer and drinks kept flowing - I made some new ones.

Like I said, vodka is a crowd pleaser - and everyone I came with disappeared into the fog of people except for my friend from work who didn't know anyone. So what started as a group of guys hanging out and talking degenerated into getting a drink, and then getting back in the drink line figuring you would be empty by the time we reached the bartender. We met a lot of folks that way, including a cute girl who said precisely 15 words before asking for my number. Gotta love efficiency.
