DRINK your way out of The Mondays

As another weekend comes to an end, we are once again forced to dive head first into the all to familiar weekly grind.  Only moments ago you were leaving Friday's last class with excitement flowing through your veins, shooting text messages out through your tangled web of friends, lovers, and acquaintances. The thoughts of deadlines and tests slid to the back of your mind as magnificent plans manifested themselves out of thin air.

What happened.

A 9:00am class on Monday seemed like such a good idea...

Your alarm didn't go off, so you're hauling ass to campus as fast as your sore legs will take you. You're wondering why the hell its brilliant founders had to construct it atop this godforsaken mountain. A coffee might help take the edge off, but the Gestapo in your first lecture would strip you a letter grade for disrespecting punctuality. You barely make it in time, stumbling into class, hair disheveled, one sock missing, emanating the remnants of sex and liquor that you didn't have the time to wash off.

Happy Monday.

Okay... so maybe that's not your typical Monday morning. No matter how dramatic your reentry into the academic reality of the week is, I think we can all unanimously agree: Mondays suck. But every seven days, we suck it up and fight tooth and nail through the endless forces that seem to be hell bent on destroying us. Lucky for us all there is a light at the end of the tunnel...

If you venture past the area you probably spent most of your weekend not remembering, you will find an establishment that understands the inherently shit-tastic nature of Mondays. Located at 135 St. Paul Street in Burlington, Drink is only a block away from Church Street, yet is worlds away from the dark dirty bars you spent your weekend binge drinking in. Walking through City Hall Park, the stress and pressure of the day fades behind you as you approach the bar. Inside, you'll find a clean and well decorated interior that exudes a classiness that is comfortably unfamiliar in comparison to its surroundings. The soft leather couches are an inviting temptation for your sore frame, while the stacks of board games makes it the perfect place for you and your coconspirators to meet and discuss the weekend's indiscretions.
Most important are all of the specials. And yes, I mean ALL of the specials. Every monday, Drink enacts every one of its daily specials throughout the week at once, creating an orgy of affordable alcohol choices for your enjoyment. You can take a  closer look for yourself, but whatever your taste, Drink has something for you. From $5 Long Islands, to $2 Microbrew drafts, to $4 Mojitos and Cosmos, whatever liquid medication your case of the Mondays needs, they can help.

So next time you start your week on the wrong foot, grab some friends and head down to Drink. You'll find me with a $2 Switchback in hand, undoubtedly dominating a rousing game of Apples To Apples, showing another Manic Monday who's in charge.

Stay classy Burlington, until next time... -Amory
