In January, we posted our first BevShots Quiz -- and the response was overwhelming. Turns out people like alcohol trivia almost as they like to belly up to the bar.

In case you missed it last time, here's the deal: The folks at BevShots have taken your favorite beverages -- cocktails, beer, wine and non-alcoholic drinks -- and put them under the microscope. How do they do it? Research scientist Michael Davis of Florida State University crystallizes the cocktails on a lab slide, then photographs them using a camera attached to a light microscope.

Want to see more? Head over to BevShots.com, where you can browse through their entire collection and even purchase the photos (one of these hanging over the bar sure beats that old "dogs playing poker" standby).

Ready for round two? Take our quiz after the jump.
