Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays:

Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink.

If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business.

Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.

It's been a minute since my ass got kicked at work bartending. Where nothing seems to go right and you're in the weeds most of the night.

Been thinking about Command + A-ing a features from 12 point Courier to 15 point Comic Sans because it might look funny.
