“$0.29 PBRs at Burdicks tonight!” was how it all started.  After a recent promotion at work, coupled with a recent birthday, it was decided that this was a five-star endeavor.  It was most decidedly not a good idea. 

Let me set the mood for you.  Old Burdick’s was having a beer special for Leap Day.  The beer special was to stop at midnight, and so the logic was: “Drink Cheap While You Can.”  And that’s when things went horribly wrong.

As my roommate and I proceeded to order 12 glasses of PBR we realized we had no way to get them back to the table (and no they weren’t all for us).  This should have been the first clue that this was a bad idea, but I’m a persistent man and a dedicated drunk; with help we managed.

I’ll spare you the details but I woke up this morning and made the promise: “I’m never gonna do that again.”

I figure that’ll at least buy me a month before I forget how bad it can get.
