Before I got into the liquor industry, I never really understood why some people will use any excuse, no matter how thin and flimsy, to drink and get drunk. Friday night? Get drunk! Saturday? Drink all day! Birthday? DOUBLE DRUNK! Those are passingly normal reasons for drinking, but from there on out it gets sketchier.
Thursday? It's almost Friday, so it counts as Dirty Thursday. Christmas? Yep, totally a drinking holiday. St. Patrick's Day? Naturally. The Irish are always drunk anyways. Ash Wednesday? Fer sher. Easter? Why the fuck not? Maybe the Easter bunny will deliver you some of those little liqueur chocolates. I don't really have a problem with any of this, I don't judge anyone. I see a lot of regulars, some of them every day, some every two days, some less frequently. Okay, I lied. I judge some people. If you're counting out nickels to get one of the smallest bottles of beer we sell - which is only 89¢, by the way - I'm going to feel something.
