Behind The Bar For February 2016

The Behind The Bar series will be used to keep tracking of my drinking throughout the month. This post will be updated during the month of February 2016 as I have a night out or a cocktail at home.

   After a super long weekend with the Wife sick, a drink with dinner was necessary.

   Super Bowl Sunday and we continued our tradition of having Wife’s folks over. This year we were also joined by Jenny, Erik & the girls. As you can see, I had a bit to drink but I wasn’t driving so I didn’t give it another thought.
