Cheap beer may be a college sta
ple, but liquor lovers need not gulp
keg beer and bear it.
Local bars offer a combined drink
menu varied enough to suit just
about anyone’s palate. Here, bar
tenders dish about what they’re
pouring most.
Close to campus, at 1214 Kincaid
St., Rennie’s Landing bartender
Music, Exotic Drin
and Cocktails.
Full Service Bar
Katie Dorst said the later it gets at
night, the more orders she gets for a
potent drink known as “Adios
Motherfucker.” A variation on a
Long Island Iced Tea, this drink con
tains vodka, gin, light rum and
triple sec or tequila.
Cosmopolitans, Lemon Drops and
Jagermeister shots are other popular
choices at Rennie’s, she said.
“People drink a lot of Jager,” she
said.
Around the corner and down the
street from Rennie’s at Cafe Soriah,
margaritas, vodka sours and screw
drivers are among the most fre
quently ordered drinks, Soriah bar
tender Dave Lawrence said.
Soriah, located at 384 W. 13th
Ave., also offers many popular
house specialty drinks, such as the
Del Mar, a drink made with apple
wine juice, the French orange
liqueur Cointreau, and Pisco, a
Chilean brandy.
At Jogger’s Bar & Grill, located at
710 Willamette St., vodka mixed
with the energy drink Red Bull is a
popular choice, as are standard well
drinks, bartender Ty Boughton said.
Many patrons of the downtown
karaoke bar are “sticking with the
norm — they’re going with rum
and Coke, vodka cranberry,” he
said.
Long Island Iced Tea and Sex on
the Beach, a drink usually made
with vodka and fruit juice, are two
of the most frequently ordered
drinks at The Downtown Lounge,
located at 959 Pearl St., bartender
Heather Sang said.
Kamikazes made with fruit and
Crater Lake Vodka drinks are popu
lar at the Lava Lounge, bartender
Robert Foley said. The chili margari
ta, a blended drink made with tequi
la infused with pineapples and
jalapenos, is another top pick among
his customers, he said. The Lava
Lounge is located in the Ring of Fire
restaurant, 1099 Chambers St.
At Turtles Bar and Grill, located
at 2690 Willamette St.^vodka drinks
seem to sell best, manager and bar
tender Lacy Boney said. Some pa
tron favorites include Cosmopoli
tans, Lemon Drops, and Disco
Lemonade — a fruity concoction
made with citrus vodka, fresh
strawberries and lemonade.

student caffeine addicts find
a variety of ways to get afix
■ UUI ICC dl IU bUUd dl cl I l lllc
only ways to get your buzz on
By Lisa Toth

College students have a need to
feed their addictions. And since
caffeine is available everywhere,
from the coffee pot in the kitchen to
7-Eleven, there are endless oppor
tunities for them to get their fixes.
Caffeine makes late-night
studying possible and can turn a
downer day into a more exciting
one, but there are consequences
that can come from this weakness.
Some students can’t function
without coffee in the morning,
while others just can’t resist the
rush that Red Bull, Mountain
Dew, Surge and other energy and
caffeinated drinks provide.
Erb Essentials Campus Store em
ployee Shari Takara, a senior at the
University, said customers need soda
and cigarettes because, “You don’t
get any sleep when you are a college
student, and you are studying.”
iaKara said tro essentials moves
more cigarettes than any other
product, but .they’re closely fol
lowed by coffee, soda and candy.
While she said she sees “regulars”
who come in for coffee, most peo
ple don’t seem overly addicted to
any particular substance. However,
for Takara, who said she has been
trying to quit drinking soda, it’s a
different story.
“It hasn’t been working,” she
said, adding that the taste of soda is
too hard to resist.
Junior Jen Kubicki said she
drinks between four to five cups of
coffee a day to keep her going and
give her energy. The business major
said she doesn’t really feel the caf
feine in energy drinks such as Red
Bull or Mountain Dew. Kubicki
also commented that caffeine sup
plements don’t seem healthy to her.
“It just doesn’t sound appealing
to me,” she said. “Coffee is more
enjoyable.”
Kubicki spent her high school
years and summers working at Cafe
Diva and tour other coffee shops in
Gresham, where she would see the
same customers every day. White
chocolate mochas are her favorite,
but Kubicki said she knows how to
make just about every drink there
is, and in a hurry, for customers
who need a caffeinated drink as
early as 6 a.m.
But it’s an expensive habit. She
said regular customers would
spend $3.50 a day, plus tips, so
making coffee at home seems like a
cheaper alternative. But the con
venience of passing Starbucks on
her way to class and the fact that
the coffee shop accepts VISA
makes it hard to resist.
Kubicki added that she used to
work at a drive-through trailer in
Gresham that sold both cigarettes
and coffee.
“It would be a one-stop for your
addiction,” she said.
But soda and coffee aren’t the
only ways students have found to
boost their energy levels and
