National Drinking Holidays


National Drinking Holidays, National Drinking Holidays List, National Drinking Holidays picture, National Drinking Holidays photo, National Drinking Holidays image
On many occasions I have searched the internet for the upcoming "National Drinking Holidays".  I have failed to bookmark any of the sites that I have found over the past couple years.......which is frustrating.  

Then I got a great idea!  What if I make my own list so that I will ALWAYS have it?!  Amazing idea Jen.........why didn't you think of it sooner?

I have searched the internet and found not only drinking holidays, but other super fun holidays that you can turn into drinking holiday (always thinking drinking).

Here you have it.  A years worth (OK not a years worth......because some of these days just don't have National Days attached to them yet.......but my hope is that in time they will create more amazing National Days for us all to enjoy) of National Drinking Holidays to celebrate.  I got creative on some of my links below, such as January being National Oatmeal Month and I linked my Oatmeal Cookie recipe to it.  Most of the days and months have links many of my recipes so you shouldn't be left without something to drink!

    1. Thank you so much Ed! That was one of my most difficult days to pin down. I searched and searched online and it was almost a 50/50 split as to whether it was actually on the 13th or 14th. I would think something as important as that would not be as hard to find, lol. Cheers!!
