No, not that kind. Check out Dave today. He's got the Blog bunch all advising what not to do on New Year's Eve. So far, I've contributed the following:


1. Don't let your husband mix his drinks (ie gin + beer + tequila + champagne) and then alcoholically berate you in front of the myriad transvestites at the Boystown IHOP at 4 am. One of you is likely to puke on the sofa to which he's banished. The other one will have to smell it.
2. Try very hard not to step off a curb onto busy Halsted St. after four hours of drinking games involving mixed shots. Even that burrito you just ate in a drunken stupor won't protect you from psycho cabbies.
3. Don't go to a hotel room with a stranger, unless he is Brad Pitt or Johnny Depp (or, ideally, both of them at the same time).|
4. Don't drink if you have small children. No matter how much you pray, they will jump on your stomach and head at 5 am, demanding attention. Just one diaper change could cause you to turn the tables on the baby and puke on him for once.
5. Jagermeister. Nobody should drink that sh*t.
6. I'm with Karlotta -- please don't drink and drive, and have a safe and happy new year. 2005 would not be the same without the Barry Bloglits.

Then, after another Bloglit mentioned Liquid Cocaine (Jager and Goldschlager), I added:


"Oh, my lord, Goldschlager. I knew I forgot something for good reason. Umm, gold-plated puke!"


And finally:


    I forgot another one:
    Avoid consuming mass quantities of home-brewed honey beer, topped off by accepting a bet to drink a half bottle of Jack Daniels. Especially if you have to run the crime desk the following day while still drunk. I vaguely remember throwing up in the women's restroom (thank G-d I made it there), and coming out to applause from the pasteup staff.
    Tomorrow, I will probably add:
Don't take your kids to the "Early New Year's Eve" at Scoozi where you think they'll have fun making their own pizzas while you and beloved spouse stare into each other's eyes over a plate of pasta and bottle of wine. The little one will puke, the older one will whine, and the kids will be a pain, too.
    I'm quite sure I'll be fast asleep in front of the TIVO menu by 10:30 pm, but the kids will be partying hard.

I've got to respectfully disagree on a couple points here. First off, Jagermeister is a fine drink, and works wonderfully in Jager bombs, by itself, OR in the aforementioned Liquid Cocaine. You must be prepared to perform several acts of idiocy afterwards, but I like that stuff.

I'll likely disobey a few of your rules ;)

... and let's not forget to add Fireball to the Jagger/Goldschlager list

Dibs on Johnny Depp!

My hot New Years Eve is being spent with a 3 yr old girl dressed in her princess outfit watching Piglets Big Movie. And it's pretty sweet, I must admit :)

And don't get hopped up on pain medication to the point to where you ruin the rest of the New Year's activities that you can no longer participate in, fearing a bad reaction. Grrrr... :)
