Ten last-call shots and what they’re good for

When the lights come on, and the only thing separating you from Hammered Enough to Want Taco Bell is one last shot, it’s good to have a plan. Hesitate, and risk the bartender reneging on his gracious offer to tack fifty more dollars on your tab. But: Know what you…
