You Are What You Drink
Most people crave a drink after a long day at work, but have you ever stopped to consider why you ordered that particular drink? Below are the most common drinks and where to satisfy your taste buds.
Soothing Glass of Wine
Today I had an extremely busy day, but it was filled with an amazing amount of sales and new clients. My honey decided to make dinner—he makes excellent reservations. We're going to dine by candlelight with my favorite bottle of Pinot Noir, play a little footsie, and celebrate my productive and successful day. I know how to unwind in style.

Frozen Strawberry Daiquiri
Who am I kidding? I may have shown up to work today, but I didn't do a gosh darn thing. In reality, I stared out the window all day wishing I were enjoying a Strawberry Daiquiri on my favorite outdoor patio with my girlfriends. In between my stares out the window, I may have also stalked on Facebook for a few hours. My status now says something to the effect of "Wish I were outside with my girls enjoying a Strawberry Daiquiri." Ah, 5:00, my best friend.

Ice-Cold Beer
Friday! Happy Hour! Yes! I've been waiting for this all week long. Let's rally as many friends as we can and grab a booth at the nearest sports bar. We can barely hear each other because the crowd is so rowdy, but man that beer tastes good. Another round for the table, please.

Classic Gin and Tonic
I was stuck doing reports that were two weeks passed due, so my day was very blah. I kept on trucking through, but need to make up for lost time with my two friends, Tanqueray and tonic. It's just to take the edge off though. I'm not going to make this a long night. I have to be somewhat productive when I get home….

Dirty, Dirty Martini
Oh yeah, I've had a rough day. Make my martini extra dirty, and include those delicious blue cheese olives so I don't drink on an empty stomach. That should suffice, right? I'll have a couple of these, hit the sheets by 10:00 and hope I sleep off a possible hangover for the next morning. What happened at work today, you ask? I don't remember, but I think I wanted it that way.
