What would the world be like without bartenders? Who would pour us our drinks and listen to our problems? There are only a handful of people in the world you trust with your darkest secrets. They are usually your hair stylist, maybe a close friend and, of course, the bartender. Bartenders have to offer advice, lend an ear and keep you refreshed all at the same time. Many of the world's problems could be solved if we just let world leaders sit down for a beer and have a good talk with someone behind the bar.

Today is World Bartender Day! This is a day to give an extra tip or thank you to the person slaving behind the bar-top. Imagine having to deal with all the odd folks these people have to pretend to like every single day. Thank you bartenders for listening to our family members and letting them vent to you before we get them at home. The world is a better place because of the patience our bartenders. Today do something extra special for your local bartender and make them feel appreciated.

There have been many songs about bartenders and the magic they work. I picked a few of my favorites to commemorate the day. Cheers!!
