Today's post is participatory. Its intention is to answer the question, "What would Kerouac drink?"
Let's build a list of all the alcholic drinks mentioned in Jack's writing. I'm starting out the list with two drinks:
-double bourbon and ginger ale (Big Sur)
-poorboy of Tokay (The Dharma Bums)
Your job is to add to the list. Name the alcoholic drink, and name the Kerouac work.
Let's shoot for a long, accurate, comprehensive list.
Good luck!

Thanks, Jonny. Now we're up to 4!
big bottle of Juarez Bourbon whiskey - Tristessa
I can't think of anything else he drank...but I do know a place WHERE he drank...My Brother's Bar in Denver...however, if they'd treated Jack and Neil the same way they treated my friends when we went in there, I'm not sure why they drank there at all.
I'll put that on my list of places to visit and hope for a better reception!
