DRINKING ACTIVITIES LIST FROM FIRST TO LAST

Drinking activities differ based on where you are in the world and what’s available.

Wine seems like a worldwide drink, so let’s go with wine instead of craft beer, or curated cocktails.

Alcohol can open doors to different cultures and different times in history.

Take the Monkey Gland for example:

The Monkey Gland is a Prohibition classic, devised at Harry’s New York Bar in Paris in the 1920s.

The name is a reference to a surgical procedure by a Dr. Serge Voronoff. For men with performance issues, Dr. Voronoff offered to implant in them the testicle of a monkey, for “rejuvenation,” as he called it.

That would make your George very curious indeed.

 

So, let’s stick with wine instead of the monkey nut?

Whether it’s a Chateau Lafite Rothschild Pauillac 2003 on sale for $3735.74, or the last glass of pinot gris wrung out of the plastic bag inside a box from Costco that’s been ignored in a refrigerator door longer than you remember, the world likes wine.

The world likes beer better, but let’s go with wine.

The rising demand for premium and luxury wines has been reported alongside the growing popularity of wine tourism which have become key factors driving growth.

 

 

Wine tourism? As in go someplace and drink wine, like Oregon. 

Like Hawks View Winery:

 

 

Drinking Activities In My Garage

I like to pull down the big map and look for anyplace I like more than Oregon.

The map came from the elementary school where my kid started before it was torn down and replaced with a Lowe’s.

It was a great deal that made me wonder why it was up for sale to begin with.

Where is a better place than Oregon? Still looking.

A glass of wine helps the search? Nooo, but it doesn’t hurt, either.

 

Wine Travel On A Treadmill

What pairs well with an asiago bagel stack and 5000 steps?

I suggest Pinot Gris with an extra twist of the bag to help focus on fitness and fun.

But it’s no fun if you fall down, so there’s that to watch out for.

If you need a spotter, ask someone.

 

Me: Could you come and watch me on the treadmill while I drink wine?

Them: Why would you do that?

Me: Because I’m a reality blogger who refuses to short change my audience.

Them: Who does this help?

Me: People stuck in a rut.

Them: So you think people stuck in a rut need encouragement to drink more? A lot of people get stuck in a rut from drinking too much already. People you know.

Me: Good point. 

Them: Instead of a spotter, why not encourage people to take a walk. Do you really need to include wine?

Me: You’re right, I’m including too much. I don’t need a spotter.

 

More Drinking Activities

If you’re bad at ping pong, how can drinking make you worse?

You might get better, you say? Yes, you might, so give it a try.

What other games pair well with wine?

Horse shoes, corn hole, croquet, unless it raining.

One thing that doesn’t go well with drinking?

 

 

I was at an activity in the southern states where someone asked me if I wanted a beer for the road.

Being sociable among strangers, I said yes, and drank a can of Bud.

The guy looks at me and said it was for the road, as in get in the car, open the can, and go.

Open container law didn’t apply. It does here.

Go ahead and take that can of beer in the garage and look at a map, take a walk, play some table tennis.

A policeman pulling you over doesn’t pair well with any booze, any wine, any beer.

Save drinking activities for home, or do activities without drinking.

 

PS:

Yes, that’s right, you can do things without drinking.

Who says that?

 

PSS:

Be careful with yourself and those around you. Ask for a spotter, a designated driver, and ask sooner than later.

Have you ever been the designated driver and drank too much like everyone else?

If that’s not you, keep an eye on your driver to get home safely.

The advantage of drinking activities in your garage? You’re already safe a home . . . for the most part.
