The Science of Shots

Now, science was never my strong point back in school. However, science in the context of drinking, I can do.

“MISTology: The Science Behind the Cocktail” was hosted by the Young Friends of Union Station. This quasi-lecture-slash-happy hour was to raise awareness Science City, though I presumed I wouldn’t see a “The Science of Curing a Hangover” next to that giant glass ball that makes your hair stand up.

Anyway, I got to the shindig around 7 p.m. and was told that I just missed the 45-minute lecture. Apparently, arriving at places on time isn’t my strong point, either. Who actually starts stuff on time? Uh, apparently scientists – i.e., people who value precision. I knew I should have set my internal watch to an atomic clock.
