I went to Cocktails with the Creatures at the zoo last night. It was amazing! I thought we'd get sample size drinks, maybe get slightly buzzed, and a few light snacks. NOPE. Oh here, let's start with an 8 ounce glass of Vodka. And have some bacon wrapped shrimp. And bacon wrapped chicken, because bacon is awesome. Oh, look, MORE FOOD. I'm drunk, so eat it all! Oh, you don't want more alcohol? Just have a sip of this apple whiskey, it tastes like apple juice, so of course you're going to drink the whole glass! Seven different full-size cocktails in all, each with a VERY generous serving of alcohol. Yes, please!
In short, I got very drunk at the zoo and had the time of my life. There's a similar event, Wild Wines, in November. I don't like wine, but now I want to go, because after the first station I'll be too drunk to care if I like wine or not.
