I e-mailed the local bartending school and one of the questions was: do you
require the students to taste test the drinks? (The reason I asked was for
medical and personal reasons) I received this this response from the
school: :

...we work with simulated liquids, that means that nothing is real, it
just LOOKS like the real thing! We have no alcoholic beverages on our
premisis, and only use alcohol in one of our classes(this is to make a drink
"flame"), and it is used by the instructor...

What the devil is stimulated liquid? Colored water? I'm just curious since
I'm planning on going into bartending professionally-- despite being a
person who doesn't drink alcohol.

Thanks,
