Dear Poor Lucky Me,
\nWith the arrival of our short summer in Chicago, I have to revisit a perennial problem: day drinking.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\nI am so easily convinced to order cocktails at brunch, lunch, the common daytime sporting event, on a friend’s boat, from a homeless guy’s 40, etc etc etc.\u00a0 There is just something about warm weather that makes me so thirsty.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\nIt’s not that I think there’s anything wrong with being drunk throughout the day, it’s just that I seem to get much MUCH drunker when it’s light out.\u00a0 And in the summer it’s light until 9 sometimes!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\nIs there a home remedy that I don’t know about?\u00a0 Some secret solution to not being shit hammered after two mid-day Chardonnays?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\nPlease hurry, it’s almost lunchtime and it’s 75 degrees out.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\nSigned,
\nA Lush<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\nDear A Lush,<\/p>\n You are in luck- I do have a home remedy to cure you!\u00a0 <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \nNo bout of day drinking can defeat the sobering affects of a 1000+ calorie burrito.\u00a0 In a pinch you can go to Chipotle, but the Poor Lucky Me staffer prefer the local taqueria.\u00a0 <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The important thing is to get as much rice, beans, cheese and hot sauce in your gut as soon as possible.\u00a0 Even if you got drunk at lunch, you still should consider the burrito remedy.\u00a0 It’s more like medicine than food, and will allow you to drink comfortably for several more hours.\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Do not be fooled into thinking that tacos or quesadillas can be substituted for the giant burritos.\u00a0 Alternative foods may have a drastic and undesired outpouring from the orifices.\u00a0 <\/p>\n <\/p>\n I hope this tip helps you continue to enjoy our short but glorious summer!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Sincerely,<\/p>\n Poor Lucky Me<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dear Poor Lucky Me, With the arrival of our short summer in Chicago, I have to revisit a perennial problem: day drinking.
