Bourbon

While you're just about to order your usual beer, he suggests mixing it up and trying some bourbon. It's the first time he's ever mentioned the whiskey variety before but he's suddenly full of information about it tonight.

Bloody Mary
"Ew, I would never drink a Bloody Mary! It's like chugging over-salted pasta sauce," your friend says with a bit of a superior air. She's always making grand statements and rolling her eyes; you love her because she knows what she likes and always lets you know what's on her mind. Your big group of pals are just about to order drinks at the trendy new brunch spot she saw on TikTok, but now you're second guessing whether you should try the tomato-based vodka drink for the first time.

What’s with all these weird wine words?
Using words to describe wine is fraught with peril and and leaves wine writers exposed to ridicule. Adapting a line from Martin Mull: writing about wine is like dancing about architecture. And we do it anyway.

Wine at a restaurant
Food is divine with wine, so wine in a restaurant should be sublime, right? Not necessarily. There is an old adage in the restaurant business: “Your customers will eat you poor, but they will drink you rich.” You do not have to be a wine expert to recognize restaurants often charge twice as much or more than what the same wine costs you in a wine or grocery store. Your inner accountant says ‘whoa!’

Hot Buttered Rum
Trying to write a Whodunit for the next Vocal challenge is making me thirsty. So while I struggle to channel my inner Agatha Christie, I wanted to take a minute to introduce you to my new favorite adult beverage for the holidays. Move over eggnog! It’s time to sing the praises of hot buttered rum! It sounds like a granny drink because it is. It's a classic, dating back to the Colonial period. The drink was also very popular in the 1940's.

Celebrating Blackout Wednesday
Blackout Wednesday, or Drinksgiving, is an unofficial holiday dedicated to getting drunk. The amount of alcohol drank on this day is more than New Year’s Eve and Saint Patrick’s Day combined, which are the two biggest drinking holidays. The event began in 2007 when few people were working the next day and a majority of college students returned home, meeting up with their high school buddies to catch up on old times. Unfortunately, this day also encourages excessive drinking. Some locations, like Highwood and Naperville, throw wild parties that require them to remove their stools for safety reasons. According to police records, it is the worst drunk driving night of the year, killing more people in a DUI-related accident than any other holiday. Here is some advice to get you through the night.
