Why is all the rum gone?

Because the bartender at Silver Spring's Piratz Tavern believes that generosity will be rewarded. Sample recipe for a PT Dark and Stormy: Fill a glass with rum. Top with ice. Wave a bottle of ginger beer in the general direction of the glass, and serve. The soon-to-be Expelled Expat and I recommend it highly, although I personally suggest not having more than one drink if the next day involves getting up early for a meeting at which you will be expected to be helpful and professional, not to mention bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. Arrh, y'all.
