Though the "noble experiment" of Prohibition failed, other noble experiments, such as teaching horses how to shoot guns and giving suffrage to any horse that could shoot a gun, were huge successes. Celebrate the failure of the 18th Amendment with today's Groupon to Riverside Bartending School. Choose between the following options:

• For $50, you get a four-hour day of bartender training (a $100 value), valid towards the full certification program.
• For $249, you get full bartender certification, as well as a lifetime membership to the school (a $595 value).

Riverside Bartending School mixes up a repertoire of thorough classes taught by accommodating instructors who serve students tall glasses of libation knowledge and real-world job training. A four-hour training day lets students roll up their sleeves and dive into any of the classes the school is offering on a chosen day, such as exotic tall drinks or wine seminars. Nascent bartenders craving official credentials can enroll in Riverside Bartending School's 80–100 hour certification program, complete with a lifetime membership to the school. Students follow classes at their own pace, bending the flexible class schedule to suit busy lives or gunning for the finish line by creating a concentrated curriculum that can be completed in as little as 10 days. After courses covering such skills as martini mixing and olive finger puppetry, libation librarians exit with shiny new certifications in both point of sale and bartending. Guinness and Budweiser beer-pouring programs also equip bartenders with vital skills in inline CO2 and nitrogen systems and tapping a keg without starting an unintentional foam party.

Alums enjoy an array of lifetime services and support, including access to courses that update or refresh a deep drink-creation repertoire. Lifetime job placement assistance, interview skill building, and resume service keep bartenders competitive and likelier to wallpaper their bathrooms in one-dollar bills.
