Alcohol is sometimes referred to as "liquid courage" for a reason. For some, having a drink or two before a nerve-racking event can make the event, well, less nerve-racking.
So this week OnMilwaukee.com asked the Social Circle if there are times when a little nip of something makes the experience a bit easier. Here are their thoughts and feel free to add your own via the Talkback feature.
Elaine Alred: "Before having to meet up with or talk to my ex-husband."
Bunny Billski: "Go to my in-laws."
Josh Christiansen: "Go to a professional sporting event. No thanks, $6-7 beers."
Michelle Danielson: "Funerals."
Catherine Koons Hubbard: "Pub trivia. I don't like to think too hard."
Paul Kennedy: "Go out drinking."
Tammy Kolbe: "Stand-up comedy?"
Dave Mikolajek: "I'd like to say, 'Lay down a heavy mack on a cute little girlie or sexy-phat cougar from behind the wood at work,' but I would then be lying to you because I don't drink while tending bar."
Jill Neyens: "I'm limited. I don't drink."
Michele Berg Pavlovic: "Going to church. Going to a kid's birthday party. Christmas Eve and Christmas."
Rick Phelps: "Try brain surgery."
Greg Sobanski: "Get out of bed."
Patty Zastrow-Jankowski: "Ice fishing. Not that I'd ever go ice fishing, but it seems really cold and I'd have to have something to warm me up."
