It’s not something we’d recommend on a regular basis, but sometimes, every once in a blue moon, it’s a good idea to go ahead and get blind drunk in the middle of the day and end up in the gutter. You know, as a celebration of life, liberty, and the pursuit of booze. This is only more true for recent victims of the recession, the folks who have every reason to drink and nothing else to do. D.C.’s unemployment rate now sits at roughly 10 percent, so there should be plenty of takers for the Breadline Bar Crawl, a midday drunkfest being organized by a group of recently laid off D.C. lawyers.

On Friday, April 17, join the Breadliners at 11 a.m. for the first of what will surely be many, many beers, lasting through ’til 9 p.m. To be honest, we’re not wild about the bar list (Front Page, James Hoban’s, Porter’s, Rumors, Sign of the Whale, and Mackey’s), but if you’re going to engage in behavior that makes you look like a buffoon, might as well not go to actually good bars where you’ll be recognized. The full schedule can be found here, as well as instructions on how to sign up for a $10 wristband that will provide you with discounts at the participating bars. You can also sign up to attend on Facebook.
