San Francisco hosts a hell of a tea party.
I'm convinced that bars never make drinks with headspace not because it's a bad idea, but because they always want to illustrate how generous of pours they give. If I spill my drink (as I have done many times sober) I am going to blame the bar from now on.

If in my mental hierarchy I've demoted religion to the level of great art/literature, religion can content itself that I hold art in very high esteem.
