What I Drank Wednesday

Ok so I've been encouraged to blog about my drinking habits and so here it is.  I know Wednesday is almost over, but it ain't midnight yet!

I'm going to cheat and go back to last Wednesday which is what kicked this off.  After work I went on a date with a girl who lives up near where my office is.  We decided to pick a spot halfway to meet and that happened to be Ram Brewery and Restaurant.  I got there a bit earlier than her and grabbed a Blonde Ale.  I went for lowest alcohol content because I didn't know how long I'd be there and I had to drive back home after and don't condone drinking and driving.  That wound up being my only beer that night.  The date was also sort of a bust.  Oh well.

Friday night I went out for a friend's birthday.  Their choice for dinner was Hubbard Inn.  We got their before our reservation and hit the bar.  I started thinks off with a Metropolitan Krankshaft beer. I know its a kolsch and more of a summer beer, but I was trying to ignore the snow that was starting to come down.  After we sat for dinner I switched over to Pilsner Urquell. Dinner was a bison burger and was just so so.  After dinner we went to Bub City since the birthday girl loves her country.  Not me, but I dealt with it and drank lots of Shiner.  After awhile there we headed up to Galway Bay.  I drank a Labatt tallboy... its been awhile since I went Canadian. Galway Bay closed and we headed next door to Yakzies where I finished the night with Bud Light.  Once you reach a certain point its just not worth it to drink good beer anymore.  It marked the 2nd time in a month that I stayed out until the bars closed.  What have I turned into?  I still got up and did my 6 miles on Saturday... just a little later in the day.  Sunday was another 12 miles before I went to a "Big Game" party.

My friends hosted people over for the game on Sunday.  I got there a little bit late so I missed the safety and whatnot.  When I arrived I was immediately offered a beer... Smithwicks, but the label was a bit funny.

My friends had gone off to India and gotten married over there, but still needed to have their American ceremony.  It looks like they picked a date and asked me to be a groomsman.  I gave a tentative yes considering that the wedding is likely to be in Iowa and the Chicago Marathon is the following day.  I guess I should hope that I don't get in the lottery and have to choose another marathon since I've never been a groomsman before.  I also had a Guinness during the game along with the Smithwicks.

So yeah, I drank a bit more than normal this week but didn't try anything new.  I don't know if next Wednesday will be quite as exciting since I don't have plans to go out this weekend.
