I can't find a reason for me to not like this. There's just something about it that was simple and clean and got you well intoxicated with all of the different options they present to you (to be completely honest, the one thing that comes to mind about this is that it was put together by makers of beer, liquor and wine.) They teach you how to make drinks and which ones do what, but they also provide a history of each drink and I found it to be fun. It's really easy to just relax with. There is just enough to the characters to makeit easy to digest; spread out with different backgrounds and ages for their professions and/or life stage. The visuals around it are simple, solid and bright, invoking what's supposed to be happiness. The idea of drinking alcohol with your friends is supposed to be a warm and fuzzy feeling. This was just a nice little variation that broke up what I had been watching.
Each of the 12 episodes are 15 minutes long and it almost seems as if there could be more credits than show. Usually Short episode shows really bother me because I'm so used to the 24 minute format and I feel incomplete. I've caught an awful lot of hell from people for not liking short episode shows, like 3 minutes or 10 minute etc this didn't do that to me.
