5 Reasons to Drink This Weekend

5 Reasons To Drink This Weekend / October 28, 2016 / No Comments.

1. The NBA is back. And while it’s more than likely that we’re headed towards another Warriors, Cavs championship, we can still sit back with a cold one and watch or teams try.

2. The Election. Early voting has begun and we’re finally in the home stretch of what feels like the longest election season ever. Whether your candidate wins or loses, raise a glass to the fact that this election has almost come to an end.

3. Halloween. Yeah we know October 31st lands on a Monday this year but many of us will be celebrating this weekend instead. So get your costumes ready and celebrate your last weekend to enjoy pumpkin beer.

4. The World Series. With the Cubs and the Indians tied at a game a piece, you can’t miss Friday’s game. It’ll be a nail biter, so make sure to have plenty of beers around to help calm your nerves.

5. Goodbye Vine. #RIPVine Twitter recently announced it was retiring Vine, the looping video app. Please pour one out to the Vine celebrities that will no longer have jobs.

5 Reasons To Drink This Weekend / June 17, 2016 / No Comments.

We’re not the type of people who need a reason to drink. If we’re breathing that’s reason enough. But for those who need more, here you go:

1. Tiddleswift: Taylor Swift and Thomas Hiddleston were caught canoodling on a Rhode Island beach. It’s a strong move from both PR teams that will likely lead to a highly populated/slightly upsetting Tumblr page. Here’s hoping your summer romance is more realistic.

2. Game 7: The NBA Finals will come to a close this Sunday one way or another. With an impressive couple of games from LeBron and Kyrie, there’s no telling which way this one will go. Tune in for an exciting first hour that can’t possibly measure up to the Game of Thrones episode premiering at the same time.

3. Finding Dory: The animated sequel hits theaters this weekend. Bring your family or go alone. We won’t judge.

4. Wicked: The highly acclaimed musical is going to be made into a film. It’s sure to be a Popular choice at the box office with sales that will Defy Gravity. (That last reference didn’t really make sense, just roll with it.)

5. Orange Is The New Black: The newest season hits Netflix this weekend. Mix up a drink and binge like you’ve never binged before.

We’re not the type of people who need a reason to drink. If we’re breathing that’s reason enough. But for those who need more, here you go:

1. Taylor Swift: She parted ways with Calvin Harris after 15 publicly blissful months together. Fans of Calvin are excited to see he’s done with the clean-cut popstar. Fans of Taylor are excited for the album that the split will birth.

2. NBA Finals: The road to the championship trophy is almost complete. The Cavs and Golden State are battling it out for the top prize while the rest of us look on and place sure-thing bets that are sure to backfire. We’re in for a round of exceptional basketball with legendary players. Strap in.

3. National Donut Day: The dessert disguised as a breakfast food gets its time to shine today. The gym will have to wait until tomorrow… or the next day.

4. Popstar: The Lonely Island’s new movie is out this weekend and promises to expertly poke fun at all of the things you love to hate (but also secretly love). Pop some Santana Champ and hit the theaters for a good time.

5. Dunst and Plemons: The Fargo costars are reportedly dating in real life. Landry has come a long way from Dillon High. Raise a glass to guys like him giving guys like us hope.

We’re not the type of people who need a reason to drink. If we’re breathing that’s reason enough. But for those who need more, here you go:

1. Long Weekend: Memorial Day Weekend is here. If you aren’t drinking, you’re doing it wrong.

2. Spelling Bee: Another year, another tie. This year’s National Spelling Bee brought dabs on dabs on dabs. There truly is no hope for future generations. Raise a glass and pray for a brighter tomorrow.

3. DCOMs: Disney Channel is hosting a four-day marathon of their classic original movies. We’re talking BRINK!, Luck of the Irish and the other movies that made staying in on a Friday night sound cool. The drinking game possibilities are endless.

4. Johnny Depp: Captain Jack is having a tough week. His mother passed away and his wife, Amber Heard, filed for divorce and a domestic violence restraining order. Put a reminder in your Rum Diary to make better life choices.

5. NBA Playoffs: The longest playoffs in the history of sports continue this weekend. With four teams left things are getting heated. Jump on a bandwagon and celebrate or mourn responsibly.

5 Reasons To Drink This Weekend / April 1, 2016 / No Comments.

We’re not the type of people who need a reason to drink. If we’re breathing that’s reason enough. But for those who need more, here you go:

April Fools: Were you victim to a coworker’s poorly planned/slightly dangerous prank? Pour yourself some good whiskey to cap off the week and plot your revenge.

D’Angelo Russell: A sneaky video that the Lakers youngster took of teammate, Nick Young, hit the Internet this week outing Iggy Azalea’s fiancé as unfaithful. It resulted in some serious tension in the NBA locker room and a thank you tweet from Iggy to Russell. Pop in your DVD of Space Jam and remember happier times.

Final Four: This weekend the men’s and women’s NCAA Tournaments whittle themselves down to the final 2. If you’re lucky enough to still have your brackets in contention, these games could break you. Best of luck and if you lose just remember: there’s always beer.

Beyoncé: The leader of our nation introduced her very own Ivy Park active wear this week. Prices range from $30-$200 and unfortunately don’t come with a look-like-Beyoncé guarantee after use.

Opening Day: Baseball is back this Sunday even if the spring weather isn’t. Throw on your cap, crack open some peanuts and prepare your very best drunken taunts for when your rivals come to town.

We’re not the type of people who need a reason to drink. If we’re breathing that’s reason enough. But for those who need more, here you go:

1. Kanye: The self-proclaimed genius finally returned home this week, but not until after a leaked SNL rant hit the Internet making him look like a huge jerk. His choices continue to puzzle us. If his Twitter feed is starting to make sense to you, maybe it’s time to switch to water.

2. Big Ang: Everyone’s favorite Mob Wife lost her battle to cancer this week after a rollercoaster of false news reports. Toast to her memory by drinking straight out of a Big Ang bottle of wine.

3. Fake Doctor: An 18-year-old posing as a doctor in Florida was arrested because that’s 100% illegal. Lawyers have been hired and awkward news appearances have been made. All that’s left to do is sip some whiskey and thank God he didn’t perform your yearly physical.

4. NBA Trade Deadline: It was one of the least exciting trade deadlines in all of history. There were winners, losers and those who just sat quietly in the corner. A big congratulations to the Golden State Warriors who are seemingly taking the trophy this season with no contest. Time to pop some champagne.

5. GIFs: Twitter rolled out a new GIF search feature for all of your reaction needs. Gone are the days of scrolling through giphy.com and clicking ‘save as’. Use all that time you’re saving to mix a cocktail worthy of sipping on loop.

We’re not the type of people who need a reason to drink. If we’re breathing that’s reason enough. But for those who need more, here you go:

1. Emojis: The battle for DeAndre Jordan’s contract got heated on Wednesday between the Mavs and the Clippers. When words weren’t enough, they turned to emojis, and things got weird. Take a drink for every pixel you see in Paul Pierce’s attempt to join the conversation.

2. Running of the Bulls: The Fiesta de San Fermin in Pamplona, Spain started this week and will continue until next Tuesday. As if Shark Week weren’t enough, now you can worry about being gored by a stray bull.

3. Donuts: Ariana Grande probably licked your donut according to a surveillance video that leaked from a Cali bakery. It shows her and her boyfriend licking donuts that they hadn’t bought before saying “I hate America”. Word on the street is if you play her songs backwards, you’ll hear the same thing.

4. 7 Days In Hell: If the real life Wimbledon isn’t your cup of tea then head to HBO this weekend to watch the tennis mockumentary starring Kit Harington and Andy Samberg. It tells the story of an orphan that Venus and Serena Williams’ family adopted, and it’s spectacular. Take a drink for every moment you hope your wife doesn’t walk in the room.

5. Mount Fuji: Japan’s popular natural attraction is activating eight Wi-Fi hot spots so climbers can now FaceTime, call home, and Snapchat on their hikes. Unfortunately, you’ll still need to stand on that chair in the corner of the room to send texts in your basement.

We’re not the type of people who need a reason to drink. If we’re breathing that’s reason enough. But for those who need more, here you go:

1. Gay Marriage: Today the Supreme Court ruled that people who love each other can now get married in all 50 states. Your grandkids will be reading about this one in the history books. You’ll want to be able to tell them you celebrated the right way.

2. NBA Draft: Thursday night, dreams came true for some young basketball players. Other ones were drafted to the Knicks. Whether your team’s future is bright or you’re choosing to call the next season another “rebuilding year”, you deserve a drink.

3. Doctors Are Mean: A man from Virginia accidentally recorded his doctors insulting him during his routine colonoscopy. He brought them to court and was awarded $500,000. Time to start saving those mean texts from your ex.

4. Batman Arkham Knight: The hottest new video game has been released and the reviews are in. If you didn’t pre-order then you owe it to yourself to find a copy and disappear into your parents’ basement… just like old times.

5. Seinfeld: Every episode is now on Hulu. Spend the afternoon studying Elaine’s dance moves, take a shot, and hit the dance floor.

We’re not the type of people who need a reason to drink. If we’re breathing that’s reason enough. But for those who need more, here you go:

1. The Finals: Whether you’re a hockey or a basketball guy, you’ve got plans this weekend. Say goodbye to all of your relationships except the one with the pizza guy.

2. Miss Piggy: This week, the puppet was honored with the Sackler Center First Award for feminism at the Brooklyn Museum. The jury is still out on whether or not the selection committee knows she’s a fictional talking pig.

3. Twitter Followers: After holding the title for only a month, @POTUS was dethroned by @Caitlyn_Jenner as the fastest person to hit 1 million Twitter followers. You can’t even get your bartender to listen to you.

4. Hellboy: Scientists found the fossil of a 68 million-year-old, previously undiscovered dinosaur in a Canadian river. They’re officially calling it the Regaliceratops Peterhewsi. We’re calling it a great opportunity for a Jurassic World promo.

5. Sepp Blatter: He stepped down this week from his role of FIFA President after a week of criticism and jokes about how much his name sounds like ‘step ladder’. We bid him adieu and cheers to forgetting about soccer for at least another year.

We’re not the type of people who need a reason to drink. If we’re breathing that’s reason enough. But for those who need more, here you go:

1. Playoffs: You’ve got the first rounds of NHL and NBA playoffs to look forward to this weekend. That’s a lot of sports. But hey, you aren’t playing. Relax on the couch and watch amazing happen.

2. Election Talk: Hillary, Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, and Marco Rubio have already begun their 2016 presidential campaigns. Get ready for a year and a half of them cutting each other down during commercial breaks.

3. Gisele Bundchen: The world famous supermodel walked down her last runway this week after 20 years in the biz. She will now begin her reign as the hottest retired person in the history of the world.

4. The Force: The new Star Wars trailer was released this week sending nerds into hyperdrive. Here’s hoping for way less incest in the plot this time around.

5. WikiLeaks: They posted a searchable database of all of that controversial Sony stuff that leaked a few months ago. Search a curse word and take a drink for every email that pops up.
