I Drink Alone and You Can’t Stop Me
Monday, March 29th, 2010A pint of Vanilla Swiss Almond. Three episodes of 30 Rock/Lost/Project Runway/Top Chef/Grey’s Anatomy on DVR. Pie for breakfast. Pancakes for dinner. All are respectable-enough guilty pleasures, but compared to mixing yourself a stiff cocktail on a any given weeknight, they lack a certain, well, punch. Actually, scratch that – … More
