Grown-Up Beverages

If you enjoy a grown-up beverage once in a while like I do, you need to make sure your drink is vegan-friendly!  What's this you say?  Not all drinks are vegan?  Sadly, no, they are not [sniff!].  Many breweries and wineries use animal products in the recipe, and then they filter with things like egg whites, seashells (can we say ewww!?!?!), and other gross stuff.  That makes me sad.  Therefore, you want to be a little choosy with your beverage, depending on how much you have already had (can we say TOO MUCH!?!?).  OK, it's date night ( let's yell YAY!!!) and you and the better half or just you (you know you are your OWN better half, wink, wink) are at an adult establishment and want to order a beverage.  You have done your homework and gone to the following website: http://barnivore.com/.  So NOW you can order up something that will get you in that "weekend state of mind" before you start laundry and chores first thing in the morning (c'mon, you know you do it).  My personal fave in the beer department is Pabst Blue Ribbon.  It is readily available, tasty, and not too over-bearing as far as taste goes.  I suggest checking ahead on wines...I was very dissapointed that some of my favorite wines were not vegan.  So enjoy your evening, drink responsibly (translation: find a DD), and make all of your drinks vegan-friendly!
