Chris and Crystal ironically recap a post-Christmas pub crawl in downtown Salisbury, Maryland, before discussing Dry January and other matters concerning the new year.
Topics discussed:
- Is the Georgetown circle a roundabout? Crystal says yes; Chris is horrified.
- An off-menu traditional breakfast at the Irish Penny.
- How you can drink multiple pints of Guinness in an afternoon without getting drunk.
- Dinner at Mogan's Oyster House.
- Dry January vs. Sober October.
- Booze alternatives including coffee, tea, kombucha, and mocktails.
- Chris's desire for more bars and restaurants to embrace Dry January by consciously stocking up on non-alcoholic beers and offering more mocktails.
- New Year's goals or resolutions.
- The great debate: Black-eyed peas or sauerkraut on New Year's Day?
