Empty Bottle

I really really wish they'd leave me at least a little to drink ...

Preparing for the #BigChilly

Getting ready for the #BigChilly -- bought a whole bunch of groceries! (Plus a case of beer, naturally!)

Surfside?

Surfside? Shouldn't that be something I'd be carrying? 🙃🙃🙃

Prohibition 2.0

Well, I guess it's the 20's all over again (looking at my calendar). The Chicago Suntimes comes out with a repeat prohibition article:

Gen Z Is Drinking Less — And It's Changing Chicago's Social Scene Chicago was once dubbed the “Greatest Drinking City in America” by GQ magazine. But Gen Zers are putting down the booze and seeking out nonalcoholic options instead. (Link)

Psss, don't tell anyone but as teens, the only way we could acquire alcohol was to hang out in front of the liquor store and ask people going inside if they could buy us a bottle. Eventually someone would say 'yes'.

Free Beer at Concert

Was at Millennium Park for the concert -- waiting in line to buy a beer. A woman comes up and promises me a free beer if I let her squeeze in in front of me. I did and got the beer for free!

Free Booze !!!

Wow, free booze under the EL tracks (Diversey, Brown Line)! Should be available at all El stops!
