Mike's Hard Lemonade



Mike's Hard Lemonade and all it's variations are disgusting. Somehow a couple magically appeared in the refrigerator at home and was the only alcohol left. It wasn't my idea, but my dad's to try one of these. I reluctantly agreed, and we shared one, since we were definitely cautious about trying these drinks. After tasting it, our disgust was for good reason. This s#%& is NASTY. Avoid this s#%& at all costs!



Some other trash I don't get down with is Joose. I do understand why some people like it, as "it'll get ya drunk!" word to Dave Chappelle's "Sam Adams" beer, but I just can't do it. Maybe it's the fact that it's an energy drink with alcohol in it doesn't sit right with my alcoholic instincts. I prefer to be able to pass out when I'm done drinking, thank you very much.

Happy Hour: A Question...

As one who enjoys engaging in adult beverages amongst friends, I must say that the name "Happy Hour" does not accurately describe it. For those who do not drink (or are unfortunate to never have experienced "Happy Hour") this joyous period of time occurs in many bars, restaurants and lounges where drinks and oftentimes food items are served at reduced price. At many locations, such an event begins at 5 p.m. although there are exceptions.

Now the term "Happy Hour" might lead one to believe that this period of time is simply a mere hour, sixty minutes of reduced priced beverages. But no, the good food and beverage workers are much wiser than the average man. Instead of a single hour, these specials usually go on for several hours! What a treat indeed.

Not to complain but would not it be more accurate to change the term to "Happy HourS" to note a period of several hours instead of just one? I suppose it doesn't really matter does it?

With that said, allow me to give a shout out to my favorite spots, Baxters in Norfolk, VA with the $3 premium spirits and Chichos with $1 domestics and well liquor. Were it not for you good people I'm sure I would be hundreds of dollars poorer.
