Wife out of town.

My wife and I just took a vacation to Salt Lake City. She left on Thursday night and I was to join her in SLC on Saturday night. Therefore, I had two nights to do whatever I wanted. Being 26 and in a new city with tons of stuff to do I had a lot of options. Festivals, university events, baseball games, golf, shopping, hang out at Best Buy and geek out over all the new stuff. So what did I end up doing? Happy Hour and the couch! I wanted to do other stuff but I just love Happy Hour, it's the best thing ever.

I end up at Buffalo Wild Wings in Gilbert for Happy Hour. I am a total cheap ass so I get two appetizers for dinner which ran around $5.00. I've been on this English/Irish beer thing as of late, so I order a black and tan. I remember sitting there thinking how great this was that I was having awesome beer and good food for cheap. Then I notice something very strange, the bartender is serving pint after pint of Miller lite. I hate Miller Lite, it's by far the worst beer on earth, plus Nick Lachey drinks it!! In SLC everyone drinks Bud Light and I never see that many people drinking Miller Lite unless they are gay or something.

I start watching the Diamond Backs game on TV and continue to monitor the massive Miller Lite consumption out of the corner of my eye. I finish my second black and tan and move onto the IPA. Happy Hour came to a close and beer was now full price. I ordered another IPA and was thinking the Miller Lite orgy should stop now that happy hour is over and the beer is full price.

I switch to Guinness and the Miller Lite keg is now blown and the bartender has to switch it out. I am almost banging my head on the bar trying to understand how so many people can be drinking this shitty beer. I order another Guinness and start thinking about my tab:
$5.00 food
3 IPA's
2 Black and Tan
2 Guinness
"I'm going to spend 30.00, shit!!"
I finish my second Guinness and now that I'm a little drunk I ask the bartender what the hell is going on with Miller Lite, "it's our beer of the month and it's only 2.00 for a 25 oz glass all month long" as she points to this huge ass banner hanging from the ceiling that I failed to notice. Then I say, "Hey bartender, can I get a Miller Lite."

I love beer, but I love money more!!

You and my husband would sooooo get along. Wow. It's like you're his long lost twin or something. The man drinks Busch Light regularly for crying out loud. You don't really love your money until you sink that low. But at least it's not Blatz, I'm thankful for that.
