i took the day off after the 2016 election and naturally made a run to the total wine nearest my apartment. that parking lot was jam fucking packed at noon on a wednesday and that was really all i needed to see to know we were entering some dark damn times.

See, my problem is that I actually love the taste of booze, which makes overindulging all too easy...
I’m a little bit over twice your age. When my husband starts whinging about getting older, I tell him, “Yeah, we’re not in our 20's anymore. But we can afford better wine and cocktails.” He concedes the point.
Serious question: do you feel conflicted about profiting on such an industry?
It’s pretty hard to argue with a well-made G&T.
Cocktails are back, baby.
I know I’ve certainly been doing more binge-drinking since November 2016...
While my spirit of choice is whiskey, I’ve begun to appreciate vodka/gin in hot weather when I’m not feeling beer.
What can I say? Whiskey is good.
we posit it could also be 2019's fault.
I have learned to enjoy a craft cocktail over the past few years. One of my favorite restaurants rotates the menu pretty regularly, and the guy behind the bar program keeps pace, with cocktails that complement the menu offerings nicely. He’s an absolute magician who brings out all this subtle flavor that’s really…
I really do love this article series.
“People, even clinicians, seem determined to make a distinction between allergy and intolerance.”
No, I mean the restaurant owner, if he were joking, used a really played out and unclever joke, which probably wasn’t even that funny back when it was original.

Yeah broken glass ends up in the ice. And it becomes invisible, meaning some one could drink it. And swallowing broken glass is not a no big deal thing. Like wise in my long bar career I got plenty of YES big deal cuts off broken glassware, shit cuts like a scalpel you don’t even feel it till you see the bleeding. 1am…
This is a bad sign. A pretty common bad sign. A place that demands staff pay for broken glassware is a business that is either looking to take advantage of their workers. Or one that is in financial trouble. Or both. Its a sign of serious mismanagement, or “I don’t know what the fuck I’m doing”.
It’s usually a good…
Even as far as being a dick goes, I feel like that poor person’s in-laws are on a level beyond your neighborhood asshole. I’ve had several roommates before who had Coeliac disease, one much more severely than the other, and the gamut of reactions from the other roommates usually ranged from supportive, to apathetic,…
On a recent trip with extended family, my sister in law recently grilled my wife and I about our son’s peanut allergy. After we ‘convinced’ her it was real and that yes, we had him tested and he still has it (it’s gotten worse actually), she went ahead and let her toddler stuff a peanut butter sandwich in his face and…
