Behind The Bar For December 2014

JD Single Barrel I love beer. Love it. And whiskey. Cause whiskey is awesome. Hell, come to think of it, I’m a big fan of most liquid libations. I started a project last year where I kept track of the amount and frequency of my drinking. I’m calling that project “Behind The Bar”. This post will be updated during the month of December 2014 as I have a night out or a cocktail at home. Stay tuned!

Went to dinner with A, the boys & Larry/Kathi who then took the boys home while we went to Lowe’s to look for light fixtures & ceiling fans.

Went to the club to celebrate New Year’s Eve where they’ve got a DJ and ball drop for the kids around 9. A few drinks throughout the night and some champagne at midnight. Happy New Year!

NOTE: Looking back I think this may be on the low side. I have a feeling I may have missed one or two days. Nothing crazy, probably a beer or two, but wanted to point it out.
