Tips For The Holidays Week!
Nobody actually likes Egg Nog.
Nobody
I think you're mistaken there, Jeremy. Lots of people drink egg nog this time of year.
Then perhaps you'd like to explain why the spell checker on the Blag here doesn't like the word "Nog." It thinks that's a misspelling...but that's entirely beside the point and something I just made up while typing this.
The more important thing to note here is that if I were to offer you a beverage consisting of warm milk, raw eggs and sugar, you'd look at me like I had two heads, politely decline, and possibly become a little squeamish. I wouldn't blame you. But apparently, if you make a 50/50 mixture of this mixture and rum, you have a fun holiday-themed party favorite.
Why?
Because the true spirit of the holiday season, like most other Americanized holidays, is to get drunk. It also includes cinnamon, which we also like during holidays...although that's entirely more confusing. Whenever Americans take over celebration of a holiday, be it Christmas, New Year's, 4th of July (Though admittedly, we didn't exactly borrow that holiday from another country), St. Patrick's Day, Cinco de Mayo (We have absolutely no reason to be celebrating that), Labor day, Haloween (After you turn 18), Thanksgiving...we change the spirit of the holiday from whatever it was intended to be into an excuse to get faced. It's what we do. Egg nog is no different. There is no reason in creation why anybody would drink this stuff...and without booze, nobody would...but once you spike it, everyone drinks up.
