Thanksgiving Eve

The greatest drinking holiday of the year is, by far, St. Patrick's Day. This day is meant to thank God for giving the Irish whiskey so they wouldn't rule the world. On March 17, we all celebrate the greatness of alcohol and the unabashed drunken stupor that comes with it.

The second greatest drinking holiday of the year is Thanksgiving Eve. It starts when a group of friends comes into drinking age (usually during the college years) and they come back to their home city for the Thanksgiving holiday weekend and Wednesday night is meant for meeting up with long lost friends that you hadn't seen since last Thanksgiving Eve.

Now that the college years have come and gone, and friends you grew up with either moved away or matured faster than you, Thanksgiving Eve is still clung to by the unmarried, childless men and women in our social circle. Still an event, but is threatened from becoming just a Friday night in the middle of the week.
