5 Reasons To Drink This Weekend

5 Reasons To Drink This Weekend / January 22, 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. Jonas: The Mid-Atlantic region is getting their first (and hopefully last) big storm of the winter this weekend. Alcohol, bread and giant shovels just became more valuable than bars of gold. Good luck to those weathering the storm. And remember, if you stay inside long enough it’ll have to melt eventually.

2. Glassdoor: The site released their annual list of best jobs in the US and yours likely wasn’t on it. Take a look at the rankings and dream about a life that might have been if you listened to your uncle when he told you computers were our future.

3. Playoffs: Football fans will be glued to their couches this Sunday to watch Brady V. the corpse formerly known as Peyton Manning and the Panthers v. Cardinals. It’ll be great television and, if nothing else, it’ll be an excuse to eat some great snacks.

4. Scurvy: An infant in Spain has been diagnosed with the disease that they believe was caused by drinking an almond milk-based formula. It’s a disappointment for those of us that thought we had just discovered the youngest pirate in history.

5. Mariah Carey: The diva announced her engagement to James Packer this week which caused all of America to Google “who is James Packer?” Legend has it that if you stare at their picture while stirring your mixed drink, you can hear Nick Cannon crying.

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.

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. Oscar Nominations: They were released yesterday and everyone has an opinion- including us. As huge Lego Movie fans, we take their exclusion as a personal attack.

2. El Capitan: Two brave/crazy guys free climbed to the top of this rock formation in Yosemite National Park. They’re the first ones ever to do it, and probably the last because couches exist.

3. Taxes are coming: Pray for money back, plan for money due. Cry because you have a waste a weekend figuring it all out.

4. Facebook at Work: They’ve made it available to a small group of partners this week. With a new color scheme and some added features, we can safely keep up the charade that we’re actually working from 9 to 5.

5. NFL Playoffs: It’s the most wonderful time of the year… unless your team didn’t make it this far. Whether you’re in the crowd, at the bar, or on your couch keep the drinks coming.

NFL Playoff Cocktails With A Kick

Cocktails / January 14, 2015 / No Comments.

The Playoffs are one of our favorite excuses to get wasted. With 4 teams left, we have to fit a weekend’s worth of football drinking into just two games. A pretty serious challenge that we’re willing to take on with the help of these team-inspired cocktails.

Indianapolis Colts: Colt 45 Cocktail

1 oz Gin

2 oz Jagermeister

5 oz Red Bull

You may not be able to throw like Luck after a few of these, but at least you won’t look like him.

New England Patriots: The Gronktail

1 ½ oz Tequila

½ oz White Crème de Cacao

½ oz Blue Curacao

½ oz Cream

Maraschino cherry

You’ll understand why he has trouble keeping his pants on after you down this one.

Seattle Seahawks: Beast Mode

12 oz vodka

½ cup blue or green Skittles

Shake until the color dissolves and strain over ice.

It’s basically just flavored vodka, but we aren’t complaining.

Green Bay Packers: Packer Punch

2 oz Midori

1 oz Vodka

Splash Orange Juice

Goes great with a Wisconsin cheese plate.

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. Resolutions: It’s only day 2 of 2015 and we’re willing to bet you’ve given up on that ‘drink less alcohol’ plan. If you’re going to fail, might as well do it with gusto.

2. Salt: The bottom of Morton Salt Factory’s grocery bag broke this week, leaving cars buried underneath wayyy more salt than you need for a tequila shot. It’ll take a long time, but we believe we can drink enough Margaritas to make sure it doesn’t all go to waste.

3. Las Vegas: They got a little bit of snow on New Year’s Eve. Snow. In the desert. We don’t know what the odds were on that, but we’re willing to bet someone made a lot of money.

4. Playoffs: The NFL Playoffs start this weekend. Take it, Jim: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3-eavMSBnk

5. You Can Rally: If you did New Years Eve right, you had a nasty hangover yesterday. We were right there with you. But what kind of people would we be if we gave up now – when there’s still 2 perfectly good nights to drink ahead of us?
