Here’s a survey I can totally appreciate! What will we be drinking this Christmas and the day after Christmas and New Years? Sixty-four percent of us will be drinking wine, beer follows at 46 percent, liquor and cocktails at 42 percent, flavored malt drinks like Smirnoff Ice at 15 percent and hard cider at 12 percent. The survey also found 80 percent of people will be with their immediate family on Christmas, 45 percent with extended family, 21 percent with close friends and 3 percent with random acquaintances. Which is exactly why we will all be drinking!
