Unpopular Opinion: Wine Wednesday has become overrated. While I may receive threats for this statement, it’s time to recognize that we’re all in an imbibing rut. Every week it’s always the same old #WineWednesday where we all sit on a couch having a glass of Pinot to celebrate surviving Monday, Tuesday, and some of Wednesday.

But it’s time we sit down and realize we’re doing this wrong. Wednesday is a supremely beige day and no amount of vino could actually make it interesting.

We need to understand that the day we all need, no, the drinking day WE ALL DESERVE, is Thirsty Thursday.
