Black Wednesday eases us into the holidays
Thanksgiving Eve, or as it's often called in these parts, Black Wednesday, is the night out before the familial fracas begins. It is a tradition as old as sweet potatoes with marshmallows on top. Forget the pumpkin pie. What you need is a drink.

The most wonderful night of the year (for a cocktail)
The discussion cropped up in the editorial office the other day and we thought it would make a good discussion for Thanksgiving Eve. What is your favorite night of the year to enjoy a social drink? Is it tonight, which has a "reunion" vibe? Is it New Year's Eve, St. Patrick's Day or Opening Day, which have a "see how long you can stand" vibe? Is it Halloween, which has an "incognito" vibe? Or, is it another night that strikes your fancy?

The best party night of the year?
Forget Halloween, St. Paddy's and New Year's Eve. Thanksgiving Eve is the best party night on the calendar.
