It's 2009! what party drink or beverage do you start with and end with?

Hot chocolate, or if I’m feeling really crazy, sparkling apple cider!

sparkling pomegranate juice

It depends on where I am and who I’m with. Last year and the year before, we hit some clubs with open bar in Stamford. There were a few drinks that night but more than a few of Red Bull and vodka.

I start and end the year with champagne. Cheers!

I have no idea. Literally:

Every year at the New Years party (not really a party, just like 7–8 people come over to chill out till midnight) each person brings some soda, juice, et cetera and keeps it covered in a bag. I put out cups for each one of my friends, and myself. Then, at interspersed times at the night, each one of us goes back to the kitchen with his/her soda, and pours it in a few cups (the idea is to pour it in only a few, in different amounts, so that each drink should be pretty random).

At midnight, after everyone has finished, we each take a cup and, at the countdown, take a swig of our drink, usually sharing them around afterwards to see what we’ve come up with.

Either a Sidecar (brandy/Cointreau/lemon juice) or a Bronx River.

Last time I checked it’s December 22nd, which is not 2009.

That’s a really good point.

@aanuszek1, I think it was hypothetical.

Start with a Long Island Iced Tea or a Bahama Mama and end with a beer.
