Would I be the object of pity if I admitted it was the highlight of my year?

I like firm, robust reds, like a good shiraz or cab sauv. I can taste the difference in more expensive wines--the subtleties, the depth of flavor, the vegetal/woodsy/punchy depth that makes an expensive wine taste like an expensive wine.
And yet, for daily consumption, I drink Barefoot. Or Yellowtail. Good wine is a real treat, but it's like...I don't wear my best clothes or my nicest shoes everyday, because I can't justify the expense to keep replacing the finest tippy-top stuff. I wear Dr. Martens and Target clothes everyday, because that's what works for my tastes and budget most of the time.
Same with wine. Cheap on the daily. Nice for special occasions.

I'll be picking up bottles of it tonight and pretending that it's better.

Still feel like crap.
Suffer crippling bouts of post-alcohol anxiety.
Don't go sleep until 3am.
Wake at 8am, go to work and deal with shitty boss.
I guarantee this will remove all your desires for alcohol for at least a week.
Savings: $15-$45.

The Guilt in my circle of friends, and it's led to many a declaration of NDA (never drinking again).

I was just sayin' that this "temperance" thing has its disadvantages. Or advantages, but whatever.

Bad.
As a result, I have ever since, been petrified of doing that again.

It's half the fun of drinking Effen Vodka!

Suggestion: Pull out the plastic, and buy your parents some good (not fantastic) wine, maybe an odd varietal like malbec, and tell them it was on sale, "buy one, get one free."
They'll have LOADS of fun looking for bargains in the wine bins. And ocassionally, they may find a winner!
I recently found one from Washington State, and one from France.
but I'm keeping the names a secret.
