Week 2 (April 11–17, 2016)

I’m still not over the realization that I would have consumed 32 drinks last week. Hopefully I won’t be as busy this week.

Monday: Lunch with James Booze-a-meter: 2 Manhattans followed by my first session with a stylist at Trunk Club Booze-a-meter: 1 bourbon (the shop has a full bar in it… of course it does… so does my nail salon… I’m totally serious.)

Tuesday: Zipfit came to my agency’s office to fit folks for new jeans, so those are on the way (seems like a cool service). Then lunch with Katie at Doc B’s Booze-a-meter: 1 beer (I occasionally like a beer at lunch). Later, dinner with Miranda and Joe at Happy Camper Booze-a-meter: 1 beer. And then we met a new friend, Rambo (long story) Booze-a-meter: 1 bourbon

Wednesday: Met the girls at Bin 36 for our weekly Winesdays (great new location). They specialize in wine flights Booze-a-meter: 3 glasses of wine.

Thursday: Drinks and dinner with Vanessa. We first stopped at Moneygun and ran into my friend Theo. Then we went to Swift and Sons and ran into my friend Theo. It ended in oysters followed by La Sirena. Booze-a-meter: 4 scotches

Friday: Holy crap this was a long night. Drinks with Laureen at the Broken Shaker (love this bar in the Freehand hotel) Booze-a-meter: 2 Manhattens. Drinks with friends at Geek Bar (quick stop) Booze-a-meter: 1 beer. Marissa’s get together at Happy Village Booze-a-meter: 4 vodka sodas.

Saturday: Busy day. Brunch with Elizabeth and her mom at Snaggletooth Booze-a-meter: 0 Bloodies (they didn’t serve alcohol). Met Jennifer B. at Emilio’s for some day drinking Booze-a-meter: 3 margaritas. Then I went on to see the Jungle Book Booze-a-meter: 2 beers (I arrived early).

Sunday: Client requested I turn around revisions in 24 hours. I spent the first 23 hours procrastinating and stressing over said request. Then I did the changes. Booze-a-meter: 0 (I don’t drink much at home for some reason).

Booze-a-meter Total: 25 drinks
