A friend gave my husband a flyer the other day.
It was advertising an upcoming beer and wine tasting benefit.
I like beer!
I like wine!
It sounded like my type of event.
Until I saw where it was being held…
And since I’ve been known to talk to almost anyone while imbibing?
I think we’re going to have to take a hard pass on this one.
River's world..... 
great post 😁

That’s weird. Who in this world thought it’d be a good idea to host any event there?

It’s a bizarre way of drumming up business to be sure…

And no disclaimer about drinking responsibly on the flyer. Hmmmmmm…. I wonder if they also discourage a designated driver.

Maybe they’re hoping you poison yourself with alcohol and have to stay.
Permanently.

Well, I don’t know about permanently. Even the guest of honor gets kicked out after the funeral…

You say that like you mean it.
You should *definitely* go!

Sadly, the husband has to work that afternoon. If I drag him there when he’s tired, he might nap during the festivities. That could lead to a mistake in recognizing party goers from clients. Not good.

But then it’s not that I haven’t gotten drunk at funerals. I mean…. I have (lots) of Irish relatives.

Yes, but at least then you knew the deceased. And didn’t move him/her out of the way to make room for the keg.

I’m with Alley Bean, who in the hell thought this would be the perfect venue for this? Unless it was some type of intervention then I’d be, intervention, really? Rehab is for quitters, I’m out! Lol

I have no idea. It’s a benefit for veterans so maybe they want word of mouth advertising…whatever the reason, it’s a bit bizarre.

These IS one advantage to having such an event at a funeral home — if the guests drink so much that the hosts run out of beer and wine, they can break out the embalming fluid and no one would know the difference. 😦

Brilliant! And when guests leave saying they’re pickled…. they won’t be lying.
