Any of you have kids or know kids that went out last night? I remember doing this back when I was in college and would come home for Thanksgiving: go out with local friends, hang one on and then be hungover for Thanksgiving, lol. They call it 'Blackout Wednesday' now I believe. Sometimes it progresses to your 20 something/early 30 something kids going out together and meeting friends. etc. I'm trying to remember when I stopped doing it....I think when I got married and started my own family and you just can't conduct/host a Thanksgiving hungover. Its brutal.

Never heard of Thanksgiving Eve or Blackout Wednesday, but found myself out late in Mexico last night with a couple of 18 year olds drinking legally for the first time (mine). Woke up this morning to a mild hangover and the headline "Denver drops to coldest temps in 265 days."

Very nice, a rite of passage for sure. Who ate the tequila worm? Wink

What kind of shape are the kids in? Yeah, my son in Denver is like WTF?

Funny you mention that. On the plane ride down, I tried explaining the idea of the worm to my daughter. She was horrified. No worms for any of us, but we did get wrangled into buying two bottles of flavored tequila. On a side note, what's up with all the flavored spirits? There's literally a cotton-candy flavored vodka. Talk about marketing to kids.
