Today's Reason to Drink
It's National Sangria Day. And in case you’re wondering who came up with this holiday, it’s a pretty safe bet that it was an organization with a financial stake in you drinking sangrias. That’s just the way of the world, amigo. The history of this wine punch is murky, but it most likely came to life in Portugal or Spain hundreds of years ago then spread from there. It became popular in America after it was featured by the representatives of Spain at the 1964 World’s Fair in New York.
Recommended drink: Well, we’re kinda stuck with a Sangria. Here’s Ernest Hemingway’s version: In a pitcher combine a bottle of a full-bodied red wine with 3/4 cup of sparkling water and the juice of a lemon, drop in a sliced orange, then add ice and stir. If you find the drink a bit, well, weak, it’s perfectly within the bounds of sangriac tradition to lay in some brandy to stiffen it up. That's how Hem did it.

Today is the 251st anniversary of the Boston Tea Party, a revolutionary act of defiance that is indelibly linked to alcohol. You probably know that the Boston Tea Party was a raid on three British ships by 50 revolutionaries disguised as Mohawk Indians but did you know that much of the planning for the raid was done, over drinks, at the Green Dragon Tavern? That prior to the raid, those fifty stalwarts got loaded on high-proof punch before heading on over to the wharf? That while they dumped over 300 chests of tea into the harbor, they confiscated and carried away what rum they found onboard. Oh, it was a party all right. Recommended drink: The main gears of the punch that motivated those revolutionary drunkards was rum, whiskey and red wine. If that combination sounds like something you might want to try, well sir, you were born out of your time.

Today's Reason to Drink
It’s World Monkey Day! That’s right, today is an internationally-recognized celebration of monkeys and “all things simian,” and since we’re simians, let’s jump aboard this fantastic party train. Speaking of simians, did you know that Cheetah, the chimpanzee who played opposite Johnny Weissmuller’s Tarzan in the 1930s was a daily drinker? It’s true! And while the average lifespan of a chimpanzee is 32 years, Cheetah drank his way through an incredible 81 years before taking the last vine to monkey heaven in 2011, making him the oldest chimpanzee on record. He also chain-smoked ci**rs, but let’s not get into that. Recommended drink: Cheetah’s usual was Budweiser, but he’d generally drink any sort of beer you put in front of him, so don’t feel like you have to drink a Budweiser. Any beer will do.

Today's Reason to Drink
Ring-a-ding-ding, it’s Frank Sinatra’s Birthday. When the leader of the Rat Pack wasn’t teaching not one, not two but at least three generations how to drink with style, he was topping the charts, winning an Oscar and putting away a helluva lot of whiskey, particularly Jack Daniels. Top quote: I’m for anything that gets you through the night, be it prayer, tranquilizers or a bottle of Jack Daniels." Recommended drink: Frank liked his Jack like so: two fingers poured over four ice cubes with a splash of water. Of course, this was back when Jack had a much higher proof, so you can skip the water. Because they already added it at the distillery. Ring-a-ding-zing!

Today's Reason to Drink

It’s St. Nicholas’s Day. I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking, “Hey, St. Nick doesn’t blow into town until the 25th, driving that big 1967 Buick sleigh of his. Well, let me tell you something. Back in the day, before he was merged with Jesus, this was Saint Nicholas of Myra’s day. He did his thing way back during the Roman Empire, and down the line, kids, mostly in Northern Europe, started getting the idea that he brought them gifts on his day. It was said he traveled with Krampus, the demonic Anti-Santa, who punished the bad children. For every Yin there’s got to be a Yang, right? And it was also a thing to leave out a little brandy, liqueur or schnapps for St. Nick, because it was cold out there and he had to deal with that jerk Krampus all night. I’m sure all the dads got together on that one.
