One downside to having Joe Biden as President:

[Aristus]

I no longer have a good excuse for day-drinking...

[In_The_Wind]

1. You don't need an excuse to celebrate.

[Aristus]

2. True!

A round for the house, on me!

[In_The_Wind]

3. I'll put on a new dress and kick up my heels.

[Sugar Smack]

4. I brought my own supplies-

[Aristus]

6. Excellent!

Enjoy!

[In_The_Wind]

9. I wish we could enjoy them together as we used to do ...

one fine year in our never to be forgotten past.

[Sugar Smack]

18. Me too--

It would be the best thing in the world!

[In_The_Wind]

29. I'll make room for you, in my home, anytime.

5. Hubster and I day drank just the other day.

A celebratory whiskey on the rocks toast when I scheduled my first Covid vaccine.

Then I slept the rest of the afternoon cuz I don’t do shit like that no more.

25. Lol we went for a drive to celebrate our

First shot few days later and picked up curbside Mexican on way home and ingredients to make margaritas.

I had one in martini glass we have, he made me another but I only had one sip, was feeling it too much already! 😁😜

7. for people hooked on drama..

Biden's lack of scandal ,offensive behaviors,criminality and drama..is driving the drama queens and kings nuts
with boredom.

[PJMcK]

8. Meh, blame it on Covid

After all, it's always 5 pm somewhere in the world. (wink)

[Aristus]

10. Looking forward to 5pm today.

I need a drink.

Although I may not get home until 7 or so. COVID-19 vaccination clinic has run late every night this week, and that's a good thing...

[CTyankee]

12. I'd be there with you but my gastroenterologist says my liver enzymes might rise and I don't want

that to happen. Last time it was very uncomfortable.

[Aristus]

13. Virgin cocktails for everyone!

Although the sweeteners in a cocktail can also cause your transaminases to increase. So, maybe not...

21. When my 3 elderly aunts got together they had "iced tea" at 4 pm every day. I was visiting once

and they made enough iced tea for the 3 of them and I said I liked iced tea and could I have some. My eldest aunt said with a serious look on her face, "It's not tea, Jeanie."

Every one of them lived a very long life. I don't know how long they had been drinking "bourbon and branch."

[Aristus]

22. Young people use alcohol to enhance the joys of youth.

Older people use alcohol to mitigate the challenges of age...

I'm officially an 'older person' now...

[CTyankee]

23. Old joke: an alcoholic is someone who drinks more than his/her doctor."

Well, as my mother used to say "It's five o'clock somewhere!"

On a more serious note, we lost a beloved family member to alcoholism. She was never without her large "coffee mug." She died 10 years ago this coming summer. She was a beautiful soul and I thought I'd never get over her death. She was my age.

[Aristus]

24. That''s sad.

You more often hear about the alcoholics who are violent and abusive.

I wonder if her sweet nature made it more difficult, rather than less, to approach her on the subject of treatment.

[CTyankee]

27. I am convinced that her father ruined her. Her mother died giving birth to her (this was 1938) and

her father was a mean, ugly human being, but she was always trying to please him.

I am happy to announce that my grandchild, now 16, is taking her name since has found he is transgendered (he never knew her since he lives in California and she was in upstate NY).

I cry with joy now. S/he lives in Hollywood where his mom, my daughter, works in the film industry. His/her community is just fine with this. The school is taking it all in stride. there are no reports of bullying. Hooray for Hollywood!

[Aristus]

28. That's wonderful to hear about your granddaughter.

[marble falls]

11. Any excuse is a good excuse.

[zeusdogmom]

14. How about gathering tax paper work for the accountant PLUS reinstalling my printer 😬

That was my morning. Is that a good enough excuse for drinking at noon? Actually I am drinking - a wonderful cup of coffee - with a couple of cookies.😋.

So a little later this afternoon after double checking my work, I will drop the paperwork at the accountant’s office and then go to a nearby yarn store for some real fun. Yes, I am easily amused.

[demosincebirth]

16. Why do you need an excuse to drink?

[marble falls]

19. Who needs an excuse?

[demosincebirth]

32. That's what I said.

[marble falls]

33. I know, that's what you said, right?

[demosincebirth]

34. I think so.

[marble falls]

35. Okay then, that's a start. Let's see. I said something and then you said something ...

... and then I said I know, and you said what, again?

[demosincebirth]

37. Cut it out

[underpants]

15. Baseball is in spring training

because as you can imagine you could forget how to play baseball after a few months off.

[Are_grits_groceries]

20. Remember:

It’s nighttime somewhere.

[FoxNewsSucks]

30. What?? We're supposed to have an excuse?

[littlemissmartypants]

31. New day drinking rules...

Morning schedule starts at 0001 O' clock
Afternoon drinking can then commence at 1201...

Problem solved.

[Aristus]

36. I'm night-drinking now!

We vaccinated about 220 people this week. I’m going to rest easy this weekend. The end is in sight...
