Straight vs. neat

The section on straight vs. neat needs to be cleaned up. Right now it says basically that in the US the two terms are commonly used interchangeably, but are technically different, while in the UK they are in fact interchangeable, but are sometimes recognized as different. This is incoherent (and uncited). How do we know that the common usage in the US is incorrect, while the same common usage in the UK is correct? Sources are needed to establish what the actual usage and technically correct usages are on each side of the Atlantic. As it stands, I have little confidence that the distinction being made is justified.--Srleffler (talk) 04:48, 10 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Whiskey, in a shot glass?

If any bartender attempted to serve me whiskey in a shot glass, I would be forced to leave in disgust!

More generally, this article seems unclear and not entirely necessary.

Combination Term

The definition attributed to straight up on this page is inaccurate / incomplete. Straight up is a combination of the two seperate bartending terms straight (pure spirit without water, ice, or mixer) and up (shaken with ice and strained into a stemmed glass.) For example it would be inaccurate to refer to a Cosmopolitan as being served straight up as it contains lime juice, cranberry, juice, and Cointreau. To be accurate it should be said that the Cosmopolitan is served up.--Geomedic (talk) 21:08, 3 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Why Straight Up over Neat

Why would "Straight Up" get priority, while Straight and Neat are secondary redirects, when drinks served neat are incredibly common, and don't have a real page dedicated to them. The focus on this page seems to be on doing quick shots, like when it references a "Boilermaker" when normally straight is a high quality bourbon or whiskey served in a glass for slow sipping.

Also, Something tells me, drinks chilled with ice, strained, and served in a martini glass are better covered by martinis. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.129.131.132 (talk) 04:31, 18 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Neat

Under the subheading 'Definitions and usage' it is stated as being relatively unambiguous that neat means not chilled. Dictionaries would disagree, stating that neat means undiluted or not added to. 203.59.101.101 (talk) 04:27, 17 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ice or no Ice?

On this page it says "Straight up" means with ice, yet on the other article page it says it means without ice. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_the_rocks 195.137.64.249 (talk) 22:33, 20 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, this page says that "straight up" means without ice. Actually, it says it twice. Wahrmund (talk) 22:51, 20 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
