Sunday Scaries and Spirits: A Houstonian's Dilemma
So, you woke up on a beautiful Sunday morning in Houston, the sun is shining, birds are chirping, and you're thinking, "Ah, a perfect day to relax and enjoy a cold one." Then it hits you like a hangover on a Monday: Liquor stores are CLOSED on Sundays in Texas! What gives, Houston?
The Great Sunday Spirits Shortage
Now, I know what you're thinking. "But wait, I can buy beer and wine on Sunday!" Yes, dear reader, you can. But let's be real, beer and wine are just the appetizers. The main course is that delicious, strong stuff that makes your problems disappear for a few hours (or minutes, depending on your tolerance).
Planning Ahead: A Survival Guide
If you're planning a Sunday soirée, you've got two options:
- Become a Prepper: Stock up on your favorite spirits before the dreaded Sunday arrives. It's like preparing for a zombie apocalypse, but with less gore and more good times.
- Embrace the Wine and Beer: Get creative with your drink choices. Maybe it's time to rediscover the joy of a perfectly chilled white wine or a craft beer with a unique flavor profile.
Sunday Funday Alternatives
Don't let the lack of liquor ruin your Sunday. Here are some alternative activities to quench your thirst for fun:
- Brunch it Up: Indulge in a delicious brunch with bottomless mimosas or Bloody Marys.
- Explore Houston: Discover new neighborhoods, parks, or museums.
- Get Active: Go for a hike, bike ride, or swim to burn off those weekend calories.
- Relax and Recharge: Unplug, meditate, or simply do nothing. Sometimes, the best cure for a Sunday slump is a good old-fashioned nap.
