I'm sorry you had a rough week...

Hopefully your nice buzz is helping you now...

Alas, I'm not drinking anything tonight! Otherwise, I would certainly allow you to buy me a round!

Happy New Year, sweetie!

But I have some wine left in the fridge -- a buzz sounds good right now.

Sadly, that ginger ale is telling me that I am not mixing the finest whisky my college job can afford me with ginger ale of a compatible quality.

but I'm saving that for tomorrow night. Just water tonight.

I also got a bottle of Laphroaig Quarter Cask for my birthday which I am also saving until tomorrow.

Sunday is gonna hurt. lol.

(wait, no, I am not killing the whole bottle of scotch tomorrow - that needs to be savored).

But between the Scotch, Tequila, potato vodka and 12 pack sampler of Magic Hat beers that I got for the holidays, I should be well bathed in alcohol for a while.
