Alcohol is booze. Booze is good. I like Booze. These are the things I think when I try and write one of these, but sometimes I have trouble getting any further. My wife says I should keep doing these dealies, but some weeks I just don't have anything else to say.
As Savage says, "don't talk about drinking, just do it." Maybe we should just disband the entire board and the magazine. Maybe there's nothing left to say. Maybe she's right and the only thing left to do is babble while drunk and it's entirely impossible to explore the condition of drunkenness. Since the magazine is at best anachronistic and, at worst, obsolete I can't come up with reasons to post or continue the drink of the week.
Once upon a time I thought it would be fun to explore the different drinks that one could have week to week. I thought it'd be fun to have a plan beyond "bourbon-water" or "gin-tonic." i foolishly thought that people would like to play with the idea of drinking instead of just having the same bullshit every day. What I've learned is that the people who are introspective about drinking, the people who love the Art, don't come around this board and the people who still come to the board don't care.
So I apologize for wasting your time with my garrulousness about drinking and my introspection about the art of same. If anyone still gives a fuck, beyond those of you with whom I already socialize, PM me your email and I'll send you a drink of the week and accompanying post, but this board is clearly only for happy dances and poetry and bullshit.
The last drink of the week is Whatever the fuck you have in your hand right now.
Enjoy

Ok, I was drunk and I'm like Buddy Rich when I fly off the handle.
I stand by my statements but I'm changing my action items.
Frankly, I think the board right now is the best it has been since its seminal Golden Age. Grey Goose is mostly to thank for that, so, everyone, buy him a drink next time you see him. The inane blather has been greatly reduced, and I thank many of you for your restraint. The overall tone of civility and hospitality has returned and, for that, I thank you all. But one thing is still missing: Effort.
Instead of abandoning the DOTW, I'm going to run a marathon. Every day for the next ten days I'm going to post a new DOTW, each, hopefully, with a brilliant, insightful, and thought-provoking post. More importantly, I'm calling out everyone on the board who doesn't suck (I'm talking to you, Tom, Shot Time, Casino, SteveD, Phryne, Oggar, Martini Time, etc....) to make a quality post, a thoughtful post that seems like it took more than fifteen seconds to write during my streak.
If the 20 or 25 of you who are capable of coherent and witty thought each post at least one useful thread, then maybe we can drown out the 15 idiots who post 45 times a day about their shoes, their cats, and why Star Search is better than American Idol.
Bring the noise people, I'm calling down the thunder.

Ya know, it might be pretty cool to rotate the DOTW. I remember when DDB carried the torch for you for a little while and it was neat.
Maybe interested parties could PM you and you schedule it out? Naturally, you get burnt out on ideas sometimes or just don't have the time to come up with something good, but if it were scheduled and we knew in advance when we'd be called upon to offer a drink and essay, we could put a lot more thought and effort into it.
Just an idear.
