When the going gets rough, let the cocktail find you. Whether it’s a PBR slushie with MSG flakes on top, a venomous absinthe concoction, or straight up tequila shots, there’s only one way to battle the cold weather. Once you’re good, get your tipsy ass to a show! DISCLAIMER: If you don’t drink, there’s still plenty of fun and good music awaiting, PLUS you get to laugh at drunk people. Win.
