Barroom blitz: It seems like every little group has its own magazine. Mean old ladies have Cat Fancy, acne-scarred onanists have Maxim and vain, effeminate men have GQ. But what about sophisticated drunks? Don't they deserve a distinct voice? Fortunately there's Modern Drunkard, a Web zine that properly addresses hot-button issues like vomiting etiquette and hiding a hangover from your boss. MD features news from the world of booze, such as ugly drinking-related incidents and the health benefits of alcohol ingestion. Pour yourself three fingers of www.moderndrunkardmagazine.com.

Never No Mo' Blues: It's amazing what people will do for denim. Hundreds of dollars for a pair of jeans isn't even uncommon. A lot of them are after a vintage look. But there's a company called Pointer Brand that's been making jeans from the same patterns in Bristol, Tennessee (the home of country music) since 1913. You want old-school? That's old-school. Cheap, too. Get all Jimmie Rodgers-y at www.pointerbrand.com.
