January Drinking Holidays<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

January 1 – National Bloody Mary Day<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

January 1 – National Hangover Day<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Well, it is the day after New Years Eve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

January 3 – National Drinking Straw Day<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

So it\u2019s said that straws were first invented around 5,000 years ago by Sumerians, and get this – it was to drink beer. The straw was finally patented in the 1800s by a man who wanted a better way to drink his mint juleps. So grab a drink, grab a stainless steel straw<\/a><\/span>, and enjoy Straw Day!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

January 8-14 – National Mocktail Week<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re into non-alcoholic fancy drinks, this week is for you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

January 17 – National Bootlegger\u2019s Day<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Prohibition saw the outlawing of alcohol on January 17, 1920, and this of course led to the rise of bootleggers! They derived their name from the act of hiding flasks in boots when going to sell or trade alcohol. Seems like a fitting day to pour yourself a nice glass of whiskey<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

January 17 – National Hot Buttered Rum Day<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

This drink is made with rum<\/a><\/span>, butter, hot water, sweetener, and spices like cinnamon and cloves. Its roots reach back to colonial days when people needed a nice hot drink to get through those cold winter days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
