All good things in life should come in permanent and inseparable two’s. Peanut butter and jelly, football and enormous tailgates, me and George Clooney and, of course, art and cocktails. German arteest H.Broecker knows exactly what I mean. A new exhibition in Dresden, Germany featured his piece “Drink Away The Art”. Several flat, plastic containers were mounted onto the wall, which dispensed fruity and colorful cocktails.  Mmm … cocktails. Glasses were placed on the floor, where visitors could snag one, get right and then wander like staggering idiots through the city streets, flashing their privates and blaming “the art, man”. And for those of you who hate art, this little interactive diddy puts a hole in your liquor soaked blanket, sorry. Awesome, awesome invention.

This reminds me of that time in preschool when our art activity of the day was to blow bubbles into heavily pigmented paint water through a straw. I accidentally drank some it - whoops. I was embarrassed of course, and felt like a moron at first, but not as moronic as the middle aged preschool teachers who let their four-year-olds take a straw to PAINT WATER.
