I subscribe to MD, as well. I think their tongue in cheek style is hilarious, but they do the research and print some good articles.
I don't like everything they advertise and promote like the Grey Kangeroo filter, which claims to filter garbage hooch and econo brands into some quality tipple. Very fratboy, and unappealing to me. I do understand that they have to build their publication up, and support their need to do so. I must be hard to subsidize a small magazine and applaud them in their efforts.
The biggest turn-on to me is Frank's battle against the MADD zealots and neo-prohibitionists. As someone in the Adult Beverage Trade, I agree 110% with him there. On a personal note, I am a former US Army Ranger, and I think Frank is, as well. That is unconfirmed, and I have never met him in person. I don't know if he is a Scroll or Tab Ranger, Airborne or Leg, 1st, 2nd, or 3rd? All I know is Rangers are a Brotherhood and we lead the way! On that note alone, he is my kinda guy. I do hope he forgets his challenge coin if I ever do see him as I don't drink cheap booze! If not, i will gladly buy him a round on me as he deserves it.

By the way, I did sport my new MD Fez at a Martini party at the Palms Casino last week-end. It was very dapper with my British Union red smoking jacket. Overall, I like Modern Drunkard quite a bit.
