Faith and Whiskey

No this post is not about me turning to God to keep me off the booze. So don't close this thinking I'm gonna start preaching about forgivness and turning to Jesus then ask for money. This is going to be an update on my progress of staying sober for financial reasons...

So, last Thursday I got out of work during what was probably one on the most stressful weeks I've had in my life. And I said to myself, "Self, I know you're trying to save money and I know most your spending reviolves around alcohol, but I think a beer and a burger at a local establishment might do you some good." Well, not being one to ignore my own advice, I jumped on the train and headed to McDunna's. Upon my arrival I realized I was one of 3 people in the entire bar. So I sat down and ordered a Guinness. (seen here)



After that one, well, I thought when my food gets here, I'll have one with the burger. I mean, who in their right mind doesnt was a burger with their beer? (This is the second one)



Ok, so now I'm two beers and one burger down. And the bartender says, "One more before you go?". Not this guys been good, had some conversation as a good barkeep should, so why the hell not? (You can see number three being poured in the background)



Now, I'm three guinness in...and the table next to me seems like good conversation. So I pull up a chair. The three of us start debating about the best shots. They're partial to the "Lunchbox" I like tequila, whiskey and Jagerbombs. So we have one of each and continue to debate the topic. At this point I call in an expert witness, we'll call him Dan (because thats his name). So Dan arrives and quickly reminds me that my favorite bar in the city, Faith and Whiskey (OHHHHH THAT EXPLAINS THE TITLE!!!) has $1 domestic bottles and...wait for it...LIVE BAND KARAOKE!!! Oh, and it's right next to McDunna's...go figure.

So I down two of these, to bring out the rock star of course...



And we head to Faith and Whiskey. Where I proceed to spend $15 on dollar beers, but hey I saved money. And jammed to some REO Speedwagon's Keep on Lovin' You!!

Seen here...



And woke up feeling like this guy...



So, needless to say, Faith and Whiskey is still hands down no questions asked my favorite bar. And I need a different approach to saving money by not drinking.
