A dude named Patrick Moberg has some fun comparing drinks and drugs to various Web 2.0 systems. Facebook's like a vodka cranberry, as we see here, and Digg's more like a bong, because it's full of "Sensationalist political and religious talk," but "Plans of overthrowing mass media fall prey to collective laziness." Second Life isn't included, so I figure we should help Mr. Moberg with the heavy lifting. What drink is SL like, and why? Bonus challenge: No comparing Second Life to LSD or mushrooms, that's too easy. Image credit: Patrick Moberg. Hat tip: Andrew Sullivan.

Second life is like an Absinthe and Baileys (if you must know, it kinda curdles into an awful mess)

SL is really more like making your own drink from a box of various alcohols and mixers. Think deconstructed mystery punch.
So
SL is like mystery party punch.
You can make it yourself or pay somone to mix it for you.

SL is the best dry martini in the world that you love sipping...until you find that the final olive on your toothpick is actually a human eyeball.

SL is obviously a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster. Smacks you around the head with a brick, and you never quite recover.

SL is like a virgin Bellini. When you first get it, it looks very pretty and unusual, but then when it becomes apparent that it has no ingredients that do what you want them to do, the results are something that will appeal only to children and might leave you with a freezie-headache.

Second Life is the glass. Fill it as you will.

SLoe Gin of course

Second Life is Mimosa in the morning, gin and tonic at lunch, margarita in the evening, and Bailey's on the rocks at bedtime. And a Bellini or some straight champagne in between if you must. Sip slowly and enjoy!

Second Life is an open bar . . . mix whatever you damn well feel like having.

Second life is like one of those beers with widgets in, kinda novel and creamy at first, but the novelty soon wears off.

Second Life is a sour apple martini. Sure it's a bit of a "girl drink", but it looks neat in the glass, its tasty, and it still has quite a kick.
However Linden Lab heading into 2010 is well Scotch served over ice in a plastic cup just to further annoy the connoisseur that asked for Glenfiddich.

At it's best, Second Life is a Molotov Cocktail. And a Molotov Cocktail is sublimely self-explanatory.

Triple strength grape Koolaid with fresh picked ground up giant Florida Psilocybin mushrooms mixed in.
