So it's a balancing act, then?  That makes sense. ;-)

10 meters of water weighs as much as all the air over your head all the way 
out to outer space.  We've been to the moon.  We can't manage to get down to 
the base of the Gulf of Mexico.

That's broken. There's a spring that holds the clamp (for want of a better 
word) against the bar with the notch in it. Sounds like that spring is screwed.

I rediscovered that last night - Amy decided that it would be fun to make 
martinis (we've never had them before).  Quite a bit stronger than I 
thought they'd be.

No, surely just standing is *always*, by definition, a balancing act. 
It's just that this act [and several others] becomes significantly 
harder under the influence of certain chemicals. ;-)

Yes, I've had some different cocktails that were quite strong.  I think 
we'll be making more different cocktails just to try things out. :-)
