Your Road to Blackout, Documented

Some people like to drink. Some people like to write. I happen to fall into the middle portion of that Venn diagram, as I’m sure some of you do too. For multi-taskers like us, the revolutionary 33 Bottles of Beer journal has arrived.

For just $12 you can put your two most coveted and practiced skills to use simultaneously, or in whatever order you want, I suppose. Here’s how it works: buy journal, buy beer, drink beer, open journal, open pen, proceed to capture the essence of said beer whilst still in that foggy, euphoric state where everything just seems to make sense. So simple, yet wildly entertaining. Perfect on a rainy day, like today...

And when you’re done with page one, turn to page two where you can begin all over again- a long and arduous journey, I know, but someone has to do it.

For the slight chance your vocabulary possibly begins to inexplicably diminish as your entries pile up, the good people selling 33 Bottles of Beer journals have stocked your book with a flavor wheel to provide some commonly used terms to describe exactly what you'll be tasting. (“Toffee,” “Sulphury,” and “Floral” seem to pin-point the tangy, sweaty pang of Natty Light in a keg, don’t you think?)

And just in case you’re really ambitious (or in college) these manliest of diaries come in packs of 3 (so you can finally get to 99 bottles of beer on the wall, for all you non-math majors).

Or you could just drink the beer and use the twelve bucks to buy another 6-pack. Up to you.
