Nothing says "celebration" like a festive cocktail, and nothing says "the opposite of celebration" like the miserable ritual known as the New Year's resolution. This year, make matter and antimatter collide by mixing some resolution-themed drinks that also happen to be profoundly bad ideas.

Resolution: Take better care of your teeth

The Crest Mint Julep

Nothing speaks of Southern hospitality like a classic Mint Julep. But get your cocktail to do double-duty (teeth cleaning plus pleasant inebriation) with mint-flavored toothpaste in lieu of herbal simple syrup. Refreshingly crisp, this is the only Kentucky Derby–appropriate beverage recommended by four out five alcoholic dentists.

  • Hmm Old Milwaukee and the word "class" used in the same article, only an American would consider that a classy beer. Now Hoegarden might actually work with the citrus blending with the fishy taste.

  • That's just disgusting.

  • I love Guy Fieri. But somehow, eating toothpaste and drinking reminds me of living in a college dorm! Loved the article, though, and the use of atypical ingredients is totally cutting edge, if not a bit crazy. But hey! It's New Year's, right?

  • Hahaha! Love it!

  • At least Abe Vigoda's good name wasn't dragged into this one . . .

    Am I the only one here who doesn't hate Guy Fieri? In any case, he went somewhere that served a lobster martini: http://thefoodnetworkfanatic.blogspot.com/2010/12/food-network-guy-fieri-diners-drive-ins.html

  • Well, that was depressing...

  • I feel like the Harvey Wallflower should've had some durian on or in it..
