A Texas Movie Theater Lets You Bring Your Dog and the Ticket Includes Bottomless Wine

This is what I’m talking about! And I have a feeling I’m not alone.

In fact, I’m willing to bet that armies of millions are lined up behind me in their overwhelming excitement about this news: there’ is now a movie theater where $15 buys you a ticket to the show and you can bring your dog with you. Oh, and you get unlimited wine or four whiskeys with that ticket.

Boom!

K9 Cinemas in Plano, Texas, is the name of the joint, and it opened in late 2018. There are only three rules people need to follow at the cinema: no more than two dogs per person (it costs $5 to bring an extra pup), you need to bring valid papers from your dog’s vet the first time you visit, and you need to clean up after your best friend. Also, you can buy snacks for yourself (obviously) and treats for your furry friend, too.

Eric Lankford, who founded K9 Cinemas, said, “I can’t believe we are breaking ground with a new niche nobody has done before — dogs and movies! We are excited to spread the smiles across your whole families faces, furry included, at a K9C near you coming soon!”

Lankford said about the business and beloved dog, Bear:

“Little did Bear and I know we would soon be published in every major publication you can name both nationally and worldwide. Turns out when you start a passion project with a decade of experience building businesses and turn that experience on to something you sincerely love, something special happens. I simply want to make other people as happy as Bear makes me. When our customers come through our doors it’s nothing but smiles and laughter.”

The theater doesn’t show first-run films yet, but instead screens one-off movies and hosts theme nights. And, of course, you better believe the theater has hosted Game of Thrones viewing parties.

Genius idea! I smell a franchise brewing…

The British developed a fondness…

The British developed a fondness for gin in their Indian Colony, where those posted there added a dollop of gin to the quinine they took as a preventative for malaria to make it more palatable. It apparently carried over when they returned home, and became the well-known Gin & Tonic.

From the 1960s to the 1970s…

From the 1960s to the 1970s, Russian cosmonauts were issued alcohol rations to drink in space. While it is still officially banned, it is widely believed that cosmonauts still smuggle some into space.

‘Rage Yoga’ Lets You Swear and Drink. Sounds Perfect!

Yoga is meant to calm you down while you get a good stretching workout. Once your session is done, you feel relaxed and ready to seize the day.

Well, let me introduce you to Rage Yoga. The end result is also to get you calm and fit but through a much different method. Rage Yoga involves yelling, swearing, and drinking beer. What else can you ask for?!?

Photo Credit: Facebook,Rage Yoga

Rage Yoga founder Lindsay Istace explains the method on her website: “a practice involving stretching, positional exercises and bad humor, with the goal of attaining good health and to become zen AF. More than just a practice, Rage Yoga is an attitude.”

Istace added, “My practice gave me a strong body-mind connection and a new appreciation for my body. I learned how to slow my mind, feel good in my body and built some decent pipes while I was at it. It helped me overcome addiction and weather a lot of personal obstacles. It kept me healthy and sane!”

Ashley Duzich, a Rage Yoga instructor, said, “We are all angry about something and we all have been holding onto an ‘F’-bomb for a little bit too long. So that’s what this does – is – it allows you to have a safe space to let go of your and frustration and rage in a healthy way… and then also wash it all away with some ice cold beer.”

As of right now, there are three locations that offer Rage Yoga classes: two in Canada (Calgary and Edmonton) and one in Houston, Texas. I have a feeling this will get very popular very soon.

Namaste, a**hole!

It’s gonna be a loooooooooong, hot summer. You know you’ll be hitting the beach or at least the pool on several occasions the next few months, and, let’s face it, you’re gonna be indulging in some booze at least part of the time.

Well, do I have a treat for you, ladies and gentlemen. A company called High Key Wine is about the change the wine drinking game in a major way. Instead of lugging clunky bottles of wine, glasses, and a corkscrew with you, now you can sip on High Key’s wine pouches without a worry in the world. Boom. Game changer.

This is how the company describes their product on their website:

“Why hasn’t anyone made this yet? This is the question we get asked the most! High Key is the new thing you’ve been looking for. It’s fun, versatile and can go wherever you can. Enjoy a hint of nostalgia as you take a sip on your next adventure.”

High Key offers three flavors as of now: Dry Rosé, Semi-Sweet Rosé, and Sweet White. The pouches are serving-size and they even come with a straw. It’s like a Capri Sun-wine pouch for those blazing hot summer days.

You can buy High Key Wine at some convenience stores but your best bet is through their website. Six packs cost $19.98. Have a great summer! (Admit it…it just got a little more interesting…).

What do you think? Are you gonna stock up on these for those hot days ahead?

Whiskey Actually Tastes Better When You Add a Splash of Water. Here’s Why

If you’re like me, you might have been raised to believe that putting ice or water in your whiskey was some kind of cardinal drinking sin. But science would definitely quibble with my Scots-Irish grandma on this point, because chemists have the scientific proof we need to back up the idea that water (or ice) actually enhances your  favorite barrel-aged flavor.

Researchers from the Linnaeus University Centre for Biomaterials Chemistry in Sweden analyzed whiskey at a molecular level to see how exactly it interacts with water.

The molecule responsible for whiskey’s smokey taste and smell is called guaiacol, and it bonds to alcohol molecules in your glass, which distributes the taste evenly. But when you add a splash of water or a couple of ice cubes, the water molecules repel the alcohol (and the guaiacol), pushing more of the taste to the top of the glass.

When that happens, your drink’s distinctive, alluring taste and smell is what fancy bartenders would call “spirit forward.”

The results of the experiments were published in Scientific Reports, and recommend diluting your whiskey to about 40-45% alcohol. Of course, most commercial whiskey’s are diluted before bottling, so just a splash of water or a couple of ice cubes should do you.

You’ll have to do some experimenting of your own in order to find the optimal amount for you, but I’m sure you won’t mind.

I’m about to do some of my own. Just don’t tell my grandma.

Our team will work with you to make the perfect event. We can help design a customized drink menu, ranging from locally made microbrews to eclectic craft brews. We offer a wide range of culinary options and can provide staff to tend bar and provide food service.”

And just to make sure that neither you nor any of your friends get stuck behind the bar for the evening, the inflatable pub is staffed. So – sit back and enjoy.

Honestly, this sounds like a blast! Sláinte!
