Alcohol and disenchantment make wonderful bedfellows.
By Jennifer Anderson (Actor/Singer/full on turkey and political malaise)
Listen, Crazytown, let's not beat around the George W. Bush (GOD I NEVER THOUGHT THIS WOULD BE RELEVANT): 2016 has been one of the shittiest years on record. It's the year we lost Prince, Bowie, and America as we know it. But as we keep trying to get through to our state senators to oppose...well Christ, EVERYTHING at this point...we should not forget that the best holiday of the year has set itself calmly and quietly on our doorstep. It crept up on us during this maelstrom of post-election turmoil, and admittedly, it may prove difficult for us to find many reasons to be thankful this year. We may be staring at 4 years of our basic human rights being revoked, but that doesn't mean we can't get drunk in our parent's basement and figure out the few things we have left for which to be grateful.
1. A glass of River Road Pinot Noir, California
"I have a roof over my head and am healthy! For now...and if I get sick next year I might not have health insurance....oh God pour me another glass"
2. A half carafe of Reserve St Martin Chardonnay, France
"I managed to go the whole year without getting pregnant! But next year I won't have BC anymore, and we all know what happens when I drink a lot of Tequila...shit"
3. A bottle of Cruz Alta Malbec, Argentina
"I got a raise at work which allows me more financial freedom! And I get to donate more money to Planned Parenthood and The Human rights campaign! Score! But when my boss and I started talking politics, he told me I shouldn't read so much and stick to US magazine instead....uh oh I think I need to puke"
4. A case of Molly Dooker Shiraz, Australia
"Well at least the Gilmore Girls revival starts tomorrow."
