Here's what's so great about Thanksgiving: spending time and connecting with family, bonding over food and drink, and reflecting on everything good in your life. I love it -- it's my favorite holiday. But there's also a flip side to this tradition of goodness: debauchery. Is it a knee-jerk reaction to this day dedicated to good old-fashioned family bonding? Who knows. It might be subtle; it might be covert; but naughtiness is guaranteed to happen. What did YOU do?

Self-medicating

My stepfather breaks out the egg nog at Thanksgiving, and I will never resist its decadence. But this year, I’m making a pit stop on the way down to dinner: the liquor store.

Maybe I’m slow to pick up on this concoction, but my friend just clued me into the delicious mixing of Southern Comfort in with egg nog. And, with the discreet little nip (or two) I plan on purchasing, I’ll be able to see if it’s all that it’s cracked up to be.

This huge (and incredibly friendly staffed) liquor store is right down the street from my parents’ house. And has come in very, very handy.

In high school I got my wisdom teeth out and got a bunch of vicodin. At Thanksgiving I decided it was a good idea to take two of them + wine. El Guapo didn’t make it past the first course. No bueno.
