Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
Remember that commercial for Staples, the one where the parents are taking their kids shopping for school supplies and they're smiling and dancing to "The Most Wonderful Time of The Year?"
It's that time of year.
I have a good friend who has a young boy, and she's really happy he's back in school. This has nothing to do with a parent not loving their kids, it's just that when a child (baby, tween, or teen) is home, I'm sure it can just completely rule your life and not give you any breathing room (I'm not a parent, but I can imagine). I picture balloons falling from the ceiling and the liquor cabinet unlocked the moment the kids are on the bus.
So, parents, let's drink and celebrate!
Drinkboy has a fine selection of cocktail recipes and articles, plus a series of videos titled The Cocktail Spirit, hosted by Robert Hess. About.com's cocktail section has an impressive number of recipes and articles. Check out Mr. Lucky for hip and retro music to go along with your "the kids are back in school!" party (Note: don't drink when you have to go pick up the kids at school or soccer practice, OK?).
And don't forget our own Cocktails category for more liquid refreshment ideas.
And here's that Staples commercial to get you in the mood:
