THE DRUNK REPORT

TGIF, little Bar Flies, which here at The Drunk Report means:  Thank Gin It’s Friday!

Today isn’t just Friday anymore, though, it’s Five o’clock Somewhere Friday!  Which means:  all day drink fest!  Woo-hoo!

Now, if your boss wonders aloud why your cubicle smells like a distillery, you can answer that you are, in fact, showing your solidarity with our drinking allies in (insert country/city here).  It just may work, especially if you ask him/her to join you in toasting that particular land.

Ice & Liquor,
