The Bite
Order organic next time you belly up to the bar. Organic liquor is tasty and does the earth good, so be a big shot Biter and knock back a double.The Benefits

- Less pollution. Organic farms emit about 60% less CO2 into the atmosphere than conventional ones.
- Win drunk friends and influence drunk people.
Personally Speaking
After "taste-testing" Square One Vodka at our last company retreat, we learned that organic liquor does not necessarily mean gentler hangovers.Wanna Try?

- 4 Copas Tequila - the first certified-organic tequila, from Jalisco, Mexico ($55-$93).
- Juniper Green Gin - the world's first organic London dry gin ($31).

One of my friends in college did her biology thesis on the Asian gene - the gene that makes Asians turn red in the face, and become achy and naseous after just a drink or two. She tested people who were Asian, white, and half-Asian/half-white. I'm in this last category.
Going into the lab, I expected a cocktail party. Wearing labcoats, she and her assistant would serve drinks, and then she'd break out her tape recorder and ask each of us how we were doing after drink one, drink two, drink three, and so on. Later, she'd take out her magnifying glass to inspect our complexions. Was our skin as it was when we arrived, or were we redder than red?
Tragically, she just swabbed the inside of my cheek and that was that. I never got my results, but I'm pretty sure I have the gene. I mean, I can binge drink with the best of them, but unlike my white roommate back at school, I can't roll out of bed the next day, ready to start the party all over again. And, sadly (and I speak from experience), just because liquor's organic doesn't make those hangovers any better.
