Drinking days: Dec. 2, 2009

/

Dec. 9: On this day in 1970, the smallpox virus was certified as extinct, marking the only human disease to ever be fully eradicated. Raise a glass knowing that thereโ€™s one less thing in the world out there to kill you.

Dec. 12: This year, Hannukah begins on this day. Why restrict yourself to spiked eggnog and New Yearโ€™s this month when you can light up the menorah, scarf down some latkes, get smashed and play spin the dreidel?

Dec. 21: Dec. 21 is global orgasm day, a day to dedicate an orgasm to the cause of world peace. No, seriously, itโ€™s a thing โ€“ see for yourself at www.globalorgasm.org, then go get drunk and participate.

Dec. 26: The 26 is Boxing Day, but itโ€™s also the first day in over a month that youโ€™ll be able to watch TV or listen to music that isnโ€™t Christmas related. Plus, youโ€™ll have plenty of gift money, so why not go get loaded?
