Afternoon Despite
Being the seasoned
age of 50 comes with a certain degree of responsibility. Krude has
to remind himself that he ain't a kid anymore. Or even a young adult. I am
an older dude. My body tells me this every waking minute. But my brain
screams at me to LIVE LARGE. So,of course, I listen to the mush under my
lid. I fucking live to be alive. And getting drunk in the afternoon has been a
habit I can't shake. Thankfully.
Being an afternoon lush is something that comes with
being an NFL fan. It also comes with frequently waking up in hotel rooms
(in different time zones) and needing to replenish my buzz. Strong shots of
hooch are the perfect way to wake up. That and quickie morning sex make for a
Sunshine Day.
Drinking at bars seems like a nostalgic ritual these days.
Social distancing and reduced capacities have made my favorite NJ bars seem
very stark and cold. But the Yukon Jack shots I have while watching
football make me feel all cozy on the insides. At 1:30 pm. Yes!
Being fucked up on alcohol for more than a few hours at a
time takes learned skills to pull off. It isn't about pacing. It's about racing.
Do your shots. Back them with girly hooch (this case,hard seltzer). Then
pound your 'go to' hooch. No breaks in the drinking action. Stay ripped. You
will always win this race
Food is an important element with the success of day
drinking. Eating super spicy chicken wings or jalapeno poppers with hard liquor
isn't recommended. Celery and disco fries are. Celery for its
water content and aphrodisiac properties. And disco fries to coat yer tummy
with a layer of starch and grease. Throw in a protein if you need extra
energy. Eating bar foods that make you shit means you'll be dropping a deuce in
the bar bathroom. Always a dicey proposition
Day drinking that turns into night drinking will turn into 12
steps in short time. Know your limitations. Making a drunken run last for a
few days never hurt anybody. Be smart. Have fun. Tip your servers. Mahalo
It's 2pm somewhere...
