The Green Isaac's Special was one of his favs, apparently. You can whip up one of these at home by shaking two ounces of London dry gin with four ounces of coconut water, the juice of one lime, three dashes of Angostura bitters and some ice. Or, if you're out at a less-sophisticated establishment, Hemingway also loved whiskey sodas.

Everyone puts their phones in a pile. First player draws one at random and composes any message they want to anyone in the list of contacts. The owner of that phone then has to either send the text, or take a shot. Remember when drinking games involved cards? What a time to be alive. (Shoutout to Reddit user spaceonfire for this one.)

"It's made of boyfriend material." Don't expect it to work. Alternatively, you can go up to someone and say, "Hi, I'm [your name]. How's your night going?" If neither of these work, execute this dance move.

High school gym teacher Jen Sculley plans to donate her left kidney to a teenage student suffering from kidney disease. When she heard about the student's plight and found out she was a match, Sculley said the decision was easy. Have you done something nice this week? There's still time!

Researchers analyzing data from one of the largest studies on the long-term effects of alcohol found that two shots' worth of alcohol consumed by a man every day for ten years is linked to significant cognitive decline. Not a shocker. But women consuming a corresponding amount of alcohol per day -- they drank less due to female metabolism rates -- were not as affected. It's not clear why, but researchers suggested it could be due to estrogen.

A male cat is a "tom" and a female is a "molly." Cats also can't taste sweets because they're all essentially blood-thirsty killers.

Cheers! Have a great weekend!

When Miranda asks, "Why did we stop drinking these?" Carrie responds, "Because everyone else started!" A traditional Cosmo à la the Sex and The City gals, is made with vodka, orange liqueur, cranberry juice, and a splash of lime cordial.Photo Credit: © Flickr /Joao Carlos Magagnin
Chianti: 'Silence of the Lambs'(02 of07)

Shockingly, this drink isn’t human blood, but it sort of looks like it. Hannibal Lecter (also a cannibal) explains, "A census taker once tried to test me. I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti." We may steer clear from wine for the next few days… Photo Credit: Movieclips-youtube.com
Manhattan: 'Some Like It Hot'(03 of07)

There's something about bourbon and Marilyn Monroe that we think is pretty sexy. When we get the chance to discuss the two we have to bring in Some Like It Hot and the famous scene in which there is only vermouth and bourbon at the ready and Dolores decides it’s a fantastic idea to make Manhattans. A Manhattan is just that — a touch of sweet vermouth in some straight rye whiskey with bitters and a maraschino cherry. The drink is a take on a martini and is equally delicious Photo Credit: facebook.com Click Here to see The Complete List of Famous Drinks Ordered in Movies
Suntory Whisky: 'Lost in Translation'(04 of07)

What exactly is Suntory whisky? We had to ask the same thing, but it is indeed a Japanese whisky that was made popular in the United States when Bill Murray’s character in Lost in Translation, Bob, reflected on the bottle of Suntory whisky on the table and stated, "For relaxing times, make it Suntory time."

When Richard Sherman is talking to Miss Morris he states, "Miss Morris, I'm perfectly capable of fixing my own breakfast. As a matter of fact, I had a peanut butter sandwich and two whiskey sours." Sounds like a good breakfast to us! A whiskey sour has historically been made with sugar, lemon, and whiskey. An easy drink to make at breakfast, or anytime for that matter!

It’s hard to dig up one particular drink (or drug) to feature from the Johnny Depp movieFear and Loathing in Las Vegas, which chronicled Hunter S. Thompson's gonzo journalism in Las Vegas. The Singapore Sling is mentioned early on in the movie by Raoul Duke when he says, "Let's get right to the heart of this thing. Twenty-four hours ago we were sitting in the Pogo Lounge of the Beverly Heights Hotel, in the patio section of course, drinking Singapore Slings with mezcal on the side, hiding from the brutish realities of this foul year of Our Lord, nineteen-hundred and seventy one." A Singapore Sling is made with gin, cherry brandy, orange liqueur, Benedictine, angostura bitters, grenadine, lemon juice, and topped with pineapple juice. The drink is known for being highly alcoholic. Photo Credit: facebook.com
Vesper: 'Casino Royale'(07 of07)

The martini — shaken and not stirred — was made famous by James Bond years ago, but it was Casino Royale that shot the Vesper to fame. The drink is just a mix of gin and vodka with vermouth but Bond puts it far better than we ever could when he tells Vesper why he names his martini: "Once you've tasted it, that's all you want to drink."Click Here to see The Complete List of Famous Drinks Ordered in Movies Photo Credit: Ankur Mathur-Youtube.com
