Ready for a shot of life! Here’s your biweekly Drinking With Bwog fix with JJ Rivera from the Columbia Bartending Agency. C’est la Vie. At least, that’s what I was thinking on Sunday while enjoying wine, bread, and cheese at the park. This past weekend, Bryant Park transformed into Taste of France, an event celebrating […]

It’s Thursday night, friends and lovers.  Here, CBA-er Jerry Rivera, GS ’14, gives you a 2for1 special: dinner and drinks. Growing up in Arizona, there was one thing I never lacked: Mexican food.  Hole-in-the-wall restaurants and food trucks litter every street corner and serve plates teeming with rice, beans, and an assortment of grilled meats at […]

Welcome back, everyone!  It’s Thursday and you know what that means: it’s time for Drinking With Bwog. This week, we want to celebrate each of the returning classes.  Try out these fab drinks, designed by your super-knowledgable Bwog staff to fit what you probably have in your room right now. The NSLOPPY Nikolai Bacardi Orange […]

In honor of the first Thursday, Bwog is reposting our ideal icebreaker from last year: Meta Have I Ever.  Tread carefully, this one takes some thinking and covert action.  Enjoy Victoria Gardens, and please celebrate responsibly! Bwog sleeps soundly knowing that somewhere a group of strangers is getting to know each other via a revealing […]

Well, another year is drawing to a close, and though we may not notice with our finals goggles on, we’re actually kind of sad to be leaving you all for a few months – especially those of you who won’t be returning next fall. So, for old time’s sake, here are a few ways you […]

In honor of Earth week, we thought we’d provide you with some drinks that are easy on the environment…and/or that are just green. (If nothing else, they can double as St. Patrick’s Day drinks, because we all know that’s a day with a shortage of alcohol.) Although it’s kind of hard to say which drinks […]

Ah, spring. It’s a transformative time for Columbia students. While normally we avoid nature like the plague, now we have the overwhelming urge to roll around in the grass and take day trips to Long Island. Instead of the usual tones of dubstep floating across Low steps, we hear people playing The Beach Boys. Everything […]

This year’s earlier Bacchanal timing has necessitated different preparation plans than usual among spring celebrants. New plans abound, from kegs & eggs to Absolute & Absolut. To inspire you for tonight/tomorrow, we share one pumped-up student’s particular plan of action, as told to Bwog below. Bwog is taking a page from Jackass and warning you: […]

It may be a whole 24 hours until you can reasonably start pregaming Bacchanal, but considering how early you’re going to have to get up, consider the advance preparation worth it. Drinking With Bwog brings you…ways to drink at 10 am without feeling gross, or at least without throwing up in front of Brooklyn Grinnell. […]

Well, it’s Thursday again, and now that spring is almost-but-not-quite here, we’re almost-but-not-quite ready to leave our dorms for the chilly outdoors. For those of you looking for something classier different than beer pong to pregame your way to warmth, Bwog has a few of our favorite tech-based suggestions. Apparently our generation is “technologically literate,” […]

Whether you’ve been done with midterms for weeks, or still have to take a Frontiers exam tomorrow (sucka), you need a drink that will fulfill the dual requirements of allowing you to a) stay awake in the shwastiest of ways and b) to do it without the fatal flaw of being as clichéd as a vodka […]

It’s almost the end of the third quarter (we know Columbia doesn’t measure the year in quarters, but Bwog does so get over it) and whether you’re nearing the end of your time here or just realizing how close you are to getting ¼ of a college education under your belt, nostalgia abounds. Maybe it’s […]

It’s midterm season. The jolly japes of February have come to an end. There’s no leap day to cheer, no Olympics for another year. The craziness of the Oscars has finished, and the madness of March has yet to come. Long story short, there’s close no reason to drink – and what better reason to […]

Bwog knows that those of you studying subjects of the math-y persuasion have your midterms this week. Whether you need to study tonight or forget about the test you just took, we have what you need. In case you’re feeling nostalgic for your numbers (or you’re trying to drink and study at the same time), […]

One fine Thursday evening, Bwog decided to get day drunk. Followed shortly by not-day drunk. And by the time Bwog got back to its dorm at 1 am, behold, JJ’s Place was still open, and lo, it was a good day. In that spirit, Bwog is here to show you how to drink your meal […]
