The Perfect Gift For Your Drunky Aunt

Errrybody got a drunky aunt. Don't play. You know you got one... and if not, you might be her.

Well, even drunky aunt needs a birthday gift every once in awhile, so why not buy her what she likes: libations and a way to tote her beverage of choice.

If she's a wino, she might like this "Baggy Winecoat" from the Scandinavian Design Center. The thing even comes with a spigot so you can get your drink-on, on the sneak and without even opening the bag! I mean, who wants to waste time on opening, de-corking and pouring anyway?

The drunky aunt bag is just 60 bucks. Isn't she worth it?

Brew Health: Go Easy on the White Wine

Red wine gives your heart a boost but white wine is the debbil on your teeth! According to researchers, white wine is actually bad for your teeth. The acidity of the wine can wear away your tooth enamel.  Riesling does the most enamel damage.  But, take a cue from the bougie set and pair the white wine with cheese because it may help counter the effects.  The calcium in the cheese helps to halt the acidic effect on your teeth.  If you'd rather say eff it all and just switch to red wine, remember, reds can stain your teeth, so get like Prince and use a straw!
