it’s a new week, so fill your koozie up with something new…

i should preface this bit by saying even though april fool’s day was recent i’m not making this shit up…

…although shane will probably wish i had. oh, and to explain the title i work thursday – monday, so technically this is monday, but for me it’s friday – make sense? moving on, i’ll let the pic speak for itself:

yep – scotch…in a can.

while some might see this as blasphemous, the only criticism that seems to be coming out from the higher ups (and by that i mean whiskey and booze critics) seems to be the packaging size – it’s a standard twelve ounce can, which equates to eight shots of booze in a container that once it’s opened, has to be consumed…so the argument is, “what consumers will be comfortable consuming eight ounces of eighty-proof liquor in a single serving?”

well – i can think of at least two of us…one of us WRITES this page, the other one READS it.

i’m not gonna lie – when i first read about this i expected all sorts of whiskey-fueled snobbery, but instead the only concern seems to be, “what occasion would call for consuming twelve ounces of forty-percent alcohol by volume beverage in a single sitting?”. i can some it up in one word:

TUESDAY.

seriously – with the economy, and life being what it is for me lately (and while some of my circumstances are pretty unique, i find it hard to believe (possibly just for psychological balance reasons) that the level of shit in my life is exclusive to me i don’t think how MUCH hard liquor we can consume in a sitting should be a concern – more like how to keep it coming and keep it cold…and a can suits that ideally.

hell, i’m not even a “scotch guy” and i’d buy a six pack and keep it in the fridge.

again, to have what’s becoming my traditional “ruin the magic” moment, this is being written a little more than two weeks from when it hits the market (february 1st) but you’re reading it two months after it hit – so this might be in your fridge by now. hell, it might be in mine. let’s review it in the comments section, shall we?
