Summer drinking season starts tonight.

Since Monday is Memorial Day, some of us are going to swing by and get supplies for the long holiday weekend. Frozen wine mommy concoctions, beer for the BBQ, cocktails on the patio, a few on the boat...

Many of us know this Thursday night trip so we can have our numbing agent of choice after work on Friday.

Just for today, fizzy water and lime. Anyone needs to can send me a DM.

...does "drinking season" ever really end? (wink)

Thankfully, life is full enough for many people without inebriates.

Stay safe.

I can attest I rang up hundreds of bottles of booze, beer, alcoholic club soda, etc. since last week. More than Christmas.

Just curious. And if you are, why are you posting it in this forum?
