Good Beer Days

Some days you get home from work and just want to sit back, relax with some HIMYM, and drink some cold, amazing beer. Ok, I'm lying here, I do this every day. But stick with it for a little. I notice some days I have two or three beers, and I'm pretty buzzed and I have to stop drinking. It saddens me my liver refuses to work properly, and I cry a little on the inside. Alas, there are just bad beer days. Days your body has had enough, and says "screw you, I'm going home." Sadly, as I get older, bad beer days are more common.

Enter good beer days. Days in which your body literally takes that sweet life giving liquid and lets you drink to your hearts content. You drink one beer, then two, then three, and realize you don't even feel buzzed. If you're lucky (or unlucky because you have to pay) you're at a great bar with 500 beers. You sit there with your friends, talking, drinking, eating, and drinking more. You go through 8 or 9 beers, and you feel nothing. You get to play games with the bartender, like one of The Great Trio's, in which he asks them to bring the most offensive beer out. You find beers you haven't had before and you literally just drink. Your day of relaxing is being able to drink with no regard, and you love every second of it.

These days I feel are few and far between. Yes, there are the normal days of drinking. Yes, there are days in which you goal it to get so drunk you need subtitles. But Good Beer Days, ones in which experiencing beer for beer sake are magical. So magical that somehow you wake up the next morning and aren't hung over, aren't tired, and somehow you didn't piss off your girlfriend, your friends, and you didn't urinate on the neighbor's cat. It's as if the little beer fairy loves you, and wants you to enjoy life to the fullest.

 Embrace these days, you don't know when they will happen, or if. Sometimes you really want them, like when you are at a beer tasting, but your body doesn't. If you find yourself in one of these days, think about home amazing beer is, and just drink more. Drink to your hearts content (but be safe, Uber it up.) Drink, love your friends, and love life. What else could be better?

Here's to hoping you have many good beer days!
