Today, November 12th marks National Happy Hour Day! Usually, this fun unofficial holiday would likely involve spending time in a pub taking full advantage of all of the discounted drinks. Unfortunately, due to lockdown, this year’s celebrations will have to be a little different.
How could we celebrate it this year?
1. Play drinking games
There are a whole load of online drinking games to choose from and the great thing about these is that you can play them over a group video call. Options include Drunk Pirate, Drink with Friends and the Picolo app.
2. Make a cocktail
A simple way to elevate Happy Hour Day from your typical day is by putting together a cocktail and enjoying it with the people in your personal bubble. You could even get a bit competitive and get each person to make one – that way you can all judge who has the best cocktail making skills. You can find some recipes here!
3. Join an online event
Whilst they will likely not be entirely Happy Hour Day orientated, you can find several online events on Facebook Events to join. From quizzes where you can win prizes to comedy shows and music events, you are sure to have some fun!
4. Sit down and watch a film with friends – maybe make a game out of it.
You could create a drinking game out of a film by drinking to certain words, phrases, or general themes. For example, if you decided to watch Gremlins, you could all drink if gremlin dies, or Gizmo does something that is cute.
So – whatever you decide to do this national Happy Hour, enjoy and drink responsibly!
