Alcoholic August

Some people may think that I've kind of been slacking with these monthly challenges. I'd argue differently, but who am I to say? To combat those notions, I figured I'd try something that I'd be totally devoted to. Something that I could thrive at. Something to drive me.

So, I decided that August will be for alcohol. Each day in the month of August will bring a (hopefully) tasty alcoholic beverage which I have never tried before. The point is not to get piss drunk every night - it's just to taste new drinks. I can't imagine waking up with a hangover every day for a month...and that is not what this is about.

Adios, Alcoholic August!

It's been a very long month, but I think I'll make my family happy when I say, "I am never drinking alcohol again." At least not for a day or two. This month taught me that: the liver is the hardest working organ in your body; drinking alone is OK as long as you videotape yourself being an ass; and sometimes drinking a terrible drink can be worth being able to tell people a story revolving around just how terrible it was.

Drunks are Slackers

So I've been slacking on the whole "blogging" thing. Nothing too exciting to report here...I've been having a new drink every day except for last Wednesday and Thursday when I took sick days. I was thinking about creating a drink called "Cure for the Common Cold" which was half a shot of Jagermesiter layered on top of half of a shot of NyQuil. I didn't have any NyQuil though (thank God) so that didn't happen.

Around The World in 5 Days

For the past few days, I've been enjoying my World Beer Traveler. It's been a long trip, but I'm glad it's done. I finished on Friday, which was the middle of the month - it seemed appropriate. Anyways, here is the video blog of the past few days.

Vegas (Estan Muertas), Baby!!!

Sun, 08/10/2008 - 11:01 | by Jesse

We got to Las Vegas at about 6 or 7PM on Wednesday night. After our only buffet dinner, we decided to sit down at the roulette table and lose a chunk of money. During Charles' 4 hour session (on only $60!) he managed to befriend a couple and the husband came out with us for some drinking.

Can you believe that after over 2 years of working in bars that I had never had a Jägerbomb?

Drinking Alone - at the end of the world...

The first drink up is La Fin du Monde beer. Enjoy me making an ass out of myself in the video below. (I hope it's not too much of a rip-off of Taco Tuesday...)
