I’ve been known to have the odd drink from time to time, and nothing compares to a little whisky on the rocks and some Xanax! Ummmm…I mean….leave the Xanax out, I don’t know what I’m talking about.

The FNB Whisky Live Festival takes place on the 5th of November 2008 in Cape Town and it is an absolute pearler. I was there last year and the promotion girls are nothing short of spectacular. The whisky is a treat as well and while I can’t go into the peat flavours and all that rubbish, I will tell you that drinking is fun. Being drunk is fun.

You haven’t tried this new sport called “drinking”? It’s a rigorous liver and kidney workout, what other sport works your liver and kidneys? Exactly! It’s a unique sport. Also, if you drink a lot, you get to work your stomach muscles over the toilet bowl.

No I don’t recommend drinking in excess, but for those of you partial to drinking in excess…

The one thing I don’t enjoy about the FNB Live Whisky Festival is that no one wants to drive, and it always sucks for the guy who has to drive. But never fear…just call a Rikkis! Just click HERE to be directed to the Rikkis website, and you can get home absolutely trashed, but safe.

I can’t guarantee the wife will be impressed when you arrive home mumbling and pissing in the garden, but it will be a good night out.
