Itâs Sunday, 17 January 2021 (W2/D17)
Today is:
Perhaps somewhat appropriate given the current restrictions on alcohol sales that have created a whole new generation of bootleggers. It was exactly 100 years ago when Prohibition outlawed the manufacture and sale of alcoholic beverages on 17 January 17. At the time enterprising residents of a small town in Iowa chose to become outlaws. They began producing a sought-after whiskey known as Templeton Rye, or âThe Good Stuffâ to those in the know. Templeton Rye Whiskey shares its January 17th birthday with bootlegger Al Capone and the son of another bootlegger, Meryl Kerkhoff. Infinium Spirits founded National Bootleggers Day in 2015 to celebrate the birth of Templeton Rye.
Ditch New Yearâs Resolutions Day
Only 9% stick to their resolutions, so you might as well be part of the other 91% and quit right now, saving yourself all the hard work, because you are likely to fail in the end anyway. Today everyone has an excuse to ditch all their New Yearâs resolutions without any guilt. Stop your overburdening diets and exercise routines! Have yourself a drink! Instead of being tied to specific resolutions, you could reevaluate your life as a whole, and still try to improve yourself over the year. Get out there and start living your life and being satisfied with who you are, and if you arenât genuinely satisfied, change it for that reason, and not because a new calendar has flipped over! Get rid of your silly New Yearâs resolutions! Now is your chance!
Have a superb Sunday!
