My engineering pals think me using a gist to store recipes is funny... :P
Nice ideas, though I think java is sorely missed here,
OK. Here is your java cocktail: 1. 50 mg of sand. Yes, you will never drink it, but it will gloriously creak on your teeth 2. Water. Put it as much as you can. If you're really into "hard staff" - use sea water. 3. Alcohol. In fact - you don't need this. But if you want - mix something. Anyway you don't have a lot of space to put a good portion of booze.
The title “Cocktails for programmers” gives me the same feeling as would the phrase “Leaf blowers for stamp collectors”. Yes, a stamp collector might use a leaf blower, but it would not be relevant to collecting stamps. On the contrary, using a leaf blower while collecting stamps would be… inadvisable.
The C#, it turns out, is the same as a Java but with a finer stock of liqueurs. The recipe for C#.NET however, is proprietary and no one can quite explain why one in a thousand makes you ill, or why the bottom of the glass seems to fall out sometimes.
WCF, WindowsForms, EntityFramework are proprietary. But nobody in sane mind will use them.
This is nonsense. I'll have a Jameson on the rocks, please.

The guy seems to be interpreting a lot of his examples in the worst possible light, too. Example: Q: Is there space set up for hacking? A: We have done this for previous conferences, but to be honest people were having too much social fun to really take advantage of the space. Translation: Y U NO DRINKING!?
That's a stupid translation. They set up hacking space before and very few people used it, so they didn't bother this time. You have your cause and effect backwards if you think this means they're trying to force you to drink.
Or: "Perks for working for them include dental coverage, and 'weekly happy hour'. Those who don't want to participate in getting sloshed regularly... need not apply?"
Jesus, dude, settle down. You've taken a perk of employment and turned it into a statement that if you don't drink you're not welcome? Please let go of your persecution complex. I know it's really fun to be indignant that others encouraging you to have a good time is so totally unfair, but it's really no different than people saying "No seriously, The Wire is fucking fantastic! You have to watch it!"
Interacting with humans isn't that hard if you allow yourself and others to actually act like humans.
Assembly is pure ethanol.
Still thinking how would VHDL be... thinking about raw sugar cane to make your own alcohol from there.
A good cocktail showcases and highlights the component spirit(s) to make a more interesting and (hopefully) tasty drink. Unfortunately when cocktails are based on nasty components, they often end up trying to disguise the spirit with sugary mixers like fruit juice or coke. If you're interested in cocktails and don't mind diving in the deep end, try an authentic Sazerac: http://www.esquire.com/drinks/sazerac-drink-rec…
