Hubbys fave brand of Bourbon was on sale so I bought 2 big ones! Then, I saw a Ruby Red handcrafted vodka with real red grapefruit juice and decided to get it so we could have a celebratory drink when Biden trounces orange assmouth.

But how long do you expect the party to last?

Personally, I'm good to go for about 3 hours and 4 glasses of wine... then it's bedtime. Zzzzzzz! (I don't get drunk any more... as I've done in my youth. I just get happy/giddy then tired, and I know it's time to stop.)

bars couldn't open until after the polls closed.
We argued that OF ALL DAYS it was THE day that you SHOULD be able to get a drink - today being the most meaningful of all!
