How to survive the Holidays

Well the Holidays have come and gone and I once again managed to survive. How you ask? Well let me tell you.
Start off with Xmas the key for me on this holiday is a nice even buzz that lasts all day. My spirit of choice was Rittenhouse Rye 21yr old.
A very nice rye if hard to find and will set you back an easy 100 smakeroos. It is smooth and spicy and if you open it up a bit with ice or a splash water you will be amazed at the flavors you find. This may be a bit pricey for some but for me it was a nice refuge from the screaming nieces and nephews that run around on a sugar high all day
New Years weekend is usually pretty busy with a whole bunch of parties to go to . It started on Saturday with a BBQ at a friends house. He had received one of those shot glass checkerboards and nobody had the cajones to take him on. Well like a glove to the face I was ready and willing to get royally plastered in the name of good fun. A quick warning you don't want to go all overproof on this a nice 80 or even 60 proof alcohol is perfect heck you can even make up mixed drinks for this if you want. I opted for Knappogue Irish Whiskey for my side and Jeff went with Jamesons. Well the game lasted 20 minutes or so and I unfortunately lost so I had to drink all of his shots that were still on the table as well. This game rocks by the end you have a nice buzz.
Sunday we went on a brewery tour of Stone Brewery. It is a great place to go and hang if you like beer. They have a great selection of beers from around the world but no hard spirits were to be found. After the tour they give you multiple samples of their wares and you can then go eat at their restaurant. Well the beer was great but the food sucked I could boor you with the details but I wont. Go for the beer not the food.
New Years eve... Sick Sick Sick Sick damn the cold and flu season.
To everyone who enjoys a good drink on any day I salute you.
