How Do You Like Your Bar?

"Always remember that I have taken more out of alcohol than alcohol has taken out of me." -Winston Churchill

Beautiful words from a beautiful man. The one thing that I do not want to forget come daylight is the pure power and bliss of open bars. Let's begin by getting a dictionary definition of both words in this lovely context. Open means accessible and without restrictions as to who may participate. Bar means a counter or place where beverages, esp. liquors, or light meals are served to customers. Two words that are pretty boring by themselves, right? But when you put these two together a sense of beauty, truth, and empowerment seems to occur. It's like finally putting the spices on Indian food or taking out all of the calories in ice cream. It is a whole new frontier that is "open" for pioneering.
Well, I do not want to sound like a complete alcoholic, because I am not aware that I am. I might drink but if I do I appreciate it. (Like the illusion there?) Story time...last Friday was my stepbrother's wedding and I had an amazing time with friends and family. It was so much fun. There was an open bar for an hour. It really made me see the power that it had. Really it is like a Harry Potter black magic kind of power. I swear it opened at 7pm and there was a line 5 minutes before. It really brought people together. I don't even know how but some people even got 5 drinks out of that hour. I have a theory that open bars could stop wars. How could you fight with a free drink in your hand. And isn't that the great thing about turning 21? Free drinks all night. I'm just saying that we owe appreciation where appreciation is due. Maybe that is to some men name Jack Daniels and Jose Cuervo, but so be it then. We cannot deny that alcohol (in the right amounts) really brings people together. Someone can even "remind you of your ex-wife". My idea is when the slurring starts the loving comes along with it. My prescription would be shake it, stir it, pour it, or make it dirty but just don't forget to give a round of applause for the round with your friends. Since I mentioned Harry Potter and it relates, I thought that I would throw this picture in for your enjoyment.
