A NEW BEER-CHERRY STOUT!

It's from New Glarus, Wisconsin
CHECK IT OUT HERE!

GRUMPY THIS MORNING?

Here's just what you need.  A coffee mug with a sleeping face that changes to a morning smiley face when you pour the coffee in.  Check it out at TREND HUNTERS

WHAT NEXT?

80 proof scotch whiskey in a can is coming to your favorite liquor store soon.  8 shots in a can for around $5.00.

ANYBODY HAVE A HANGOVER THIS MORNING?

Dr. Oz says if you had included some avocados, walnuts, honey or tomato juice while you were sipping you wouldn't feel so lousy today.  Those items help metabolize the alcohol in your body.

I suppose I should have mentioned this yesterday, before you started to party.

AT 5:00 PM DONNIE WROTE:

"Well, the New Year festivities have begun: I've poured my 2nd Van Gogh vodka and cranberry, and I think I have left one shot of 30-yr-old Panama rum, for midnight."

NO BREAKFAST FOR ROGER

He was wringing his hands, yesterday, because all he can have, this morning, is enough water to take his pills.

I'm with him on that one.  Actually, it's not much of a problem, for me, to go without food but to get up and start the day without a cup of coffee is second only to water boarding in the area of extreme torture.

WHAT NEXT???

MARSHMALLOW VODKA



JUST WHAT WE NEED

We have a NEW BAR  in downtown La Crosse.  Guess we can never have enough of those.  On the Rocks is located at 214 Main.

NATIONAL COCOA DAY

Did you know, it's believed, that the first cocoa trees came from South America?

Check out the PUNCHBOWL website for more interesting cocoa facts.

BEEN THERE. DONE THAT.

I pointed to two old drunks sitting across the bar from us and told my friend "That's us in 10 years".

He said "That's a mirror, dumb-ass!

PLEASE DRIVE WITH CARE

A recent joint study conducted by the Department of Health and the Department of Motor Vehicles indicates that 23% of traffic accidents are alcohol related.

This means that the remaining 77% are caused by people who drink bottled water, starbucks, soda, juice, energy drinks and junk like that.

Therefore, beware of those who do not drink alcohol. They cause three times as many accidents.

A NOTE FROM DONNIE REMINDS OF THE TIME....

This actually happened, one day, at Quillan's.  They had one aisle devoted to nothing but potato chips.  Dill pickle chips, taco chips, cream cheese chips, etc.  I walked up and down that aisle four or five times and I never did find a single bag of potato chips that tasted just like...potato chips.

Anyway, Donnie says.....

"At least Christmas brings a better round of commercials than the relentless medicine and insurance ads that bombard us the rest of the year.  On my way home I heard a car ad for "cheese accoutrements." 

Earlier today I stopped at a coffee shop and ordered green tea.  "Will that be citrus green tea or tropical coconut green tea or China green tips green tea or..."  Excuse me, I interrupt, but can I get just plain green tea?  "I'm not sure we have that."  Now, again, this is right out of Bob & Ray.  In one segment of their restaurant review series they are trying Bernie's Pushcart on the Green, in Central Park.  Bob is reporting Bernie's countless variations on the hot dog, including the "Hot Dog Chateaubriand, for two."  Ray says "I suppose you can also get just the regular hot dog with mustard and relish," to which Bob predictably replies, "No, I don't believe you can."  Once it was a joke; now it's daily life in America."

The other day I had a Nickleback video on the blog.

They've got another song that I really like.  It's about the best drinkin' song I've ever heard and I love this video.

I'll bet there's more than one member of our family who would love to find out what the best beer is for Thanksgiving.

Wonder no more!  Click here and find the answer.

BERT HAS BEEN THERE! DONE THAT.

I might have known that Bert has been to the bar in Vegas (see below). She said, "It was my favorite place in Las Vegas. That is where I met my best friends Kath, Tom, Pete and Julie. We had a blast!!!"

WONDER IF BERT HAS BEEN TO THIS BAR?

What will they think of next?

PEANUT BUTTER VODKA??
Sounds good but can you spread it on a slice of bread?  Hey! I'm not kidding. Check out the bottle here.

LOSER OF THE DAY

A Wausau man was driving drunk, without a license, while texting, when he hit a State Highway Patrol squad car.

I have no idea who's counting but I just read that, around the globe, 1400 million cups of coffee are consumed every day.  That represents a hell of a lot of beans!
