Does it feel like you’re back in college? Good. We decided on such a fine, upstanding holiday to kick it old school with this joke.

Did you really think we were able to get our hands on a bottle of Pappy 23? We’re fine upstanding gentlemen and all, but that only gets you so far (though if any of you out there has a bottle and wants to share, we can assure you that we are fine, upstanding gentlemen that make great conversation over a fine pour of bourbon).

Never been iced? Well, since you just were, you’re going to need to find the closest Smirnoff Ice. (You can order one —in select states — here.) Once you’ve got one, bend a knee and chug it. Observe:

Want to mess with your friends a little on this fine day? Send them this link. Tell them you get entries for every time a friend also enters. Then, order them Smirnoff Ice and have it sent to their house. They may think you’re joking around, but when that bottle shows up a few hours later, they’ll know you weren’t kidding.

Woody Creek Distillers

Woody Creek Distillers is an award-winning Colorado-based brand that makes myriad spirits, including bourbon, gin, rye, and even vodka. You also might know Woody Creek as the brand that touts iconic actor William H. Macy as an investor, has been its “Spokesdude” since 2018, and makes a whiskey in his honor. Well, you’ll soon know the brand for another partnership. That’s because it announced it was teaming up with the NHL’s Minnesota Wild.
Woody Creek Distillers and the Minnesota Wild

Historically, beer brands have partnered with professional sports teams. However, the rise of craft distilling has led to more opportunities for distilleries like Woody Creek. The NHL’s Minnesota Wild announced today that Woody Creek is an official partner of the team. The brand will have in-arena signage, game sponsorship, virtual broadcast signage, and social media features. It will even sponsor the Women of the North Power Play Event on February 25.

I'll drink coffee any which way, and when I say that, I truly mean in any form. Sometimes, I prefer a creamy cappuccino or a sweetened latte, but nothing hits the spot like starting my day with a bold cup of black coffee. Generally, I like to consume black coffee while intermittent fasting and save my more indulgent coffees to consume later in the day.

Luckily, the answer is yes, which is good, considering many of us wouldn't quit drinking black coffee even if it weren't good for our health. Several recent studies have found that when consumed in moderation, coffee can support your health. Here's how.
