Happy New Year

As I was counting down the new year a couple nights ago, I turned on the TV and caught Ludacris singing his hit single One More Drink, which is a celebratory composition about sleeping with a girl one wouldn’t have ordinarily slept with without first having drank too much alcohol.

As the initial notes of his chart-topping number began, he gave everyone in Times Square as well as all tuning in on national television this injunction: “Everyone out there needs to drink responsibly tonight.”

Ting-a-ling!
