Love it or hate it (or both), Alcohol has been a part of our heritage for 10 MILLION YEARS. Going with the theme of this entire blog, this is post is going to be for mainly my benefit. It is hard to look up drink recipes or champagne facts when you’re already a few drinks in.
My own alcohol experiences (piqued in high school) ranged from the slutty, dark (7am Vodka laced Jamba Juice), and hilarious (Irish family gatherings).
The first time I drank, I was 11 at a family wedding. My brother told me champagne was “fancy sprite” and I ended up puking by 5pm, laying on the floor of the bathroom, 100% class.
Because I am the worst, I took the fact my parents hid (from me) Makers Mark in the bathroom as a challenge rather than a request. This backfired horribly; in college, where bottom shelf is the only shelf, my delicate palate did not stand a chance and I developed a quick relationship with the toilet. Today, I stick to beer and wine. Most of the time.

Anyway here is some random stuff
- The Post Grad Beer Challenge: Print this sheet and get ready to vomit
- A great beer story
- This is a low quality photo but has a hilarious? background story. Bud light “accidentally” launched a campaign titled “Up for whatever” with the slogan :’The perfect beer for removing “No” from your vocabulary for the night’ (shown below). Whether deliberate or not, it just comes off as Pro Rapist. They apologized but it still looked bad considering it is the go-to-cheap beer used by many young college students. In my expert opinion, this is a publicity stunt. Bud Light tastes like bathwater and has been around awhile…what better way to keep the spotlight on the brand is there than the age old classic: pissing everyone off?
- I took this photo at Jamba Juice because I wanted to find a way to put wheatgrass in alcohol-I could get my buzz and vegetable serving all in one sip! I failed.
- I have no explanation for this.
- My thoughts about the below photo: First it’s funny, then I realize how accurate it is then I have to go to bed and hide.
- This doesn’t make me feel any better.
- How to make ‘the robin’ in how I met your mother (I hate that show but totally watched it)
- Random recipes I have saved for myself: (Does anyone know why I wrote down “DRINK Amaretto and Irish cream” at some point? Is that a drink?)
- Random photos I have taken to remind myself what to drink
- Links
I don’t like this post anymore than you do but now it’s over with. I should note that the eventuality of any drink recipes I have ever used has so far been inevitable: I wasted off 2 cocktails and go to bed before the rest of the party even gets here. Also I am writing this post at 10am. Take that as you will?
For my Goodbye, a song in honor of the subject:
