What is it?

Celebrate an unofficial national pastime…

National Day Drinking Day is a holiday to recognize an unofficial national pastime… day drinking. Designated to occur each year on the Sunday before Thanksgiving, this holiday is strategically located six months after the start of summer to remember celebrations and great times from the current year while also looking forward six months to the beginning of the coming summer.

Define Day Drinking…

Some of the best day drinking starts earlier in the day as a small gathering of friends intending to have a few drinks and ends with needing a ride home. The only plan was to hang out to watch a ballgame or play a couple games of cornhole. The next thing you know you are building a fire pit and ordering dinner.

Day drinking can happen to anyone. It’s not just a guy thing – everyone and anything is welcome! Men and women, dogs and cats, beer and wine. And most of all, it should be an event that spontaneously grows from a loose idea and very few plans.

So invite a few friends to gather for a cocktail or two on Sunday, November 22, 2020, and see what happens.

You can’t drink all day if you don’t start early…

Alcohol… because no good story starts with a salad.

The key to day drinking is to stay hydrated. Alternate alcoholic beverages and water.
