Friday Happy Hour

It's Friday so obviously I already have the itch to drink. Yes folks, I am indeed writing this at 8:06 AM.

I don't think that means anything, but hey you can never trust an alcoholic. Wait what?

Regardless of if you feel thinking about drinking and partying during the wee hours of the morning is a problem, I think most can appreciate that drinks after work to start the weekend is a fantastic thing. After all the BS that we put up with at work during the week, that little drink does wonders to make all that stuff not matter anymore.

Today's post will cover the alcoholic beverages I am currently pledging my allegiance to. Damn it that makes me sounds like an alcoholic again. Oh well.


My current, favorite drink of choice: Grey Goose on the rocks with a lemon

Doesn't get much better than this folks. Strength you want in a good drink, without the nasty flavors you'll find with other alcohols like scotch or rum. I'm not knocking scotch, I've drank it before, in mass quantities even. But let's be honest, it tastes like armpit. I also can't really get down with mojitos or alcohol/juice or alcohol/soda mixes. Some of those drinks are just too sweet and mixing alcohol with other liquids only takes away glass space that could have been filled with more alcohol. This is important especially in clubs and lounges in NYC when you're paying $15.00 per drink. You can buy me a drink with the money you just saved not filling up on cranberry juice.


This is why the Grey Goose on the rocks with a lemon or "The Tom" is so good. Lots of vodka in the glass and it tastes good. If you don't trust me, try it out. After the 2nd one you'll think you're drinking good old agua.



My beer of choice: Coors Light

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I already know some of you are snickering. Folks, when I'm drinking beer, I'm not trying to appreciate the hoppy character or anything fancy like that. Like any other alcoholic beverage, when I'm drinking beer, I'm trying to get drunk.

That's the problem, getting drunk by drinking beer is hard work. With such a low alcohol percentage you need to drink a lot just to get "a buzz." So drinking beer for me is a numbers game -- drink as much as you can as fast as you can. That being said, why not drink the lightest, coldest beer possible to make that process easier? And for that, we have good old Coors Light.

For the record, yes, I am white trash.

I was gonna get into some other drinking stuff, but I think I'll save that for a future post. Do I smell a Friday themed post ahead? Possibly....

Have fun this weekend folks. Try out "The Tom" or drink Coors Light all day long. You will not be disappointed.

Oh yeah, don't drink and drive.

Be careful. I love you, aight?

  2. I drink "the Tom" but with a twist--club soda cause I like it fizzy, with a lemon or a lime. Carlos got me a vodka tonic, but I prefer it a little simpler than that.

    Thanks for the tips. I regularly check your blog for alcohol suggestions, cause you know, I'm just starting out with this shit.
