Last night, I had a few beers with two of my brothers.  We left the brewery unas copas de más, and my brother still took out bottles of tequila when we got back to his home.   It was good bonding time, but now I feel awful.  Me la curé con dos chelas en la mañana, and had two margaritas for lunch.  I started sobering up after that iced coffee, and ( Read more... )
