Today’s Reason To Drink

There’s only so much time you can spend with people you’re related to.


Today’s Reason To Drink

If you were at Fuzion last night, I was the girl dancing on the stack of Velocities. I knew they were good for something.

It’s Christmas Eve Eve — which probably means you don’t have to work tomorrow … or maybe you just have to work a half-day. Either way, let’s throw down tonight. Your hangover should be long gone by Christmas morning.


Spike the Nog!

My reader Michael Long over at Sullivan University alerted me to this recent study on eggnog. Since the popular holiday drink uses raw eggs, is it safe to drink? Or does the alcohol you add to it kill most of the germs? What about virgin nog?

Check out this video on scientific evidence that proves alcohol rules. Perhaps we should start adding it to potato salad, cole slaw and cookie dough.

Does anyone else feel as if Mother Nature is toying with our emotions. 5 degrees? And it’s supposed to be 62 by the weekend. Can we prescribe the Earth some lithium?

Remember that holiday-themed pub crawl I told you about a few weeks ago? Well, it’s happening tonight in the Highlands. It’s called SantaCon, and you may see some Santas stumbling from bar to bar … spreading good will to everyone. Click here for all the details.

Today’s Reason To Drink

Hot damn … I stumbled upon a drink so yummy and warm that it’s like snuggling up to a piece of burning firewood … if it were possible without getting hurt. The Bluegrass Brewing Company on Fourth Street, conveniently located a few steps from the LEO offices, has a new beer on tap that’ll put a warm smile on any Grinch — the Bourbon Barrel Rye Porter. It was strong. It was delicious. It brought a tear to my eye.

Dear Santa,

Can we push Christmas back a few more weeks? Or possibly just cancel it this year? I’ve got no money and no time to go shopping. No holiday spirit. No good will for all men. I don’t even want to part with the few pennies I have in my pocket to silence those bell-ringers. You see, Christmas snuck up on me this year. I was in a paranoid state, so I accidently shot it. And your reindeer … well, I warned them to stay outta my yard. Why not join me at the Back Door on the 25th, and we’ll toast to the recession. You’re buying.
