What should you drink? Take your cues from the tunes. That's the premise behind Drinkify, a scrappy little webapp that recommends drinks based on what you're listening to. Their motto? "Never listen to music alone again."
Drinkify was created in 24 hours as a collaborative project at Music Hack Day Boston 2011 (previously mentioned here), an event I am mostly ignorant of being neither a musician nor a hacker, but it sounds fascinating.

My experience was similar: I asked for the Clash, the Police, and the Cure (don't judge!) - and the answer each time was "Cocaine." Hahahaha?

A bit of background from the Music Hack Day wiki on how it was done. The coder, Matthew Ogle, worked at Last.fm and now works for Echo Nest, thus the use of both for this thing.

Yeah, I've had the Tom Waits before, and it's more like,
"THE TOM WAITS"
After it rains, collect the moisture from the side of a paint factory with a sea sponge you bought at a talisman market on the third floor of a parking lot in Togo. Furiously run, or dawdle languorously, back to your lousy (in both senses) apartment. Squeeze the spongee into a tumbler that was used for gelatin desserts from the 50s. Top with the last lees of the moonshine that almost killed you last night. Put the drink on the windowsill. Don't drink it yet. Just look at it; think of Dolores. Remember that Spanish skin cream she used to like. Christ did it smell awful. Remember her skin. That night on the beach. Kick over the garbage can. Go down to Al's for a cup of coffee.

Hey guys! I worked on this hack, nice to see it on the blue.
Some of my faves include "The Bob Dylan", "The Jimmy Buffet", and The Ratatat. I'd avoid "The Death", though.
We didn't hard-code any single artist in the app, but as you've all guessed it does a lot with genre/tag info. We also pulled in a few other attributes; the stirring speed, for example, is based on the average tempo of the artist's most-played tracks.

Indeed. The ideal Tom Waits drink is rotgut whiskey, served over razorblades made of loneliness and garnished with the tears you cried for the woman that got away twenty years ago, served under a bridge during a full moon as you stare up at the window of a completely different woman you love desperately but whom you can never, ever have.
Howling at the moon is optional.

Yeah, no matter what you enter, even if it's not a band, it'll present something. After entering stuff like "Tom Lehrer" things like that, I've come to the conclusion that, other than for a database of special cases, it's just taking what was entered, hashing the name, then using that as a pseudorandom seed to choose a random drink recipe.

I didn't make this but i know the guys who did, and this is not true. Echo Nest has a database of almost 2 million artists -- including "musicians" like Tom Lehrer, who have recorded albums on major labels. Try aslhdasohdoasihdioasdhi or something, you'll see there is no result. There are no special cases and it's not hashing the name, it's looking up stuff about the band and generating a drink from that data. Sorry to ruin the magic.

This is super interesting in theory. But it doesn't matter if it's deeply scouring data and delivering specific things based on various tags in the Echo Nest database -- it reads like it's randomly spitting out nonsense. If that's the goal, might as well make it random. If it's supposed to look as if it's based on parameters and data, it needs a lot more work.
Basically, it was fun for about a minute, before it was obvious it was spitting out nonsense no matter what input it got.

6 oz. Ecstasy
Serve neat.
As opposed to Ecstasy on the rocks, I suppose."
Only loser kids do Ecstasy on the rocks. It dilutes it terribly and you lose the wonderful peaty undertones.

Some ounces - try for four, but it's OK if you don't get that every time - of just whatever's handy, slopped all over the place. If some gets in the class, congratulations, you are a mighty warrior.
