Do a paint-by-number.

For people who love to sit down with paint and a brush but aren’t particularly artistic, paint-by-numbers are a fun alternative to blank canvases. They come with all the paints you’ll need, brushes and a ready-made picture with numbers to correspond with the paints. Even if you’re a little tipsy, these are super fun and can be challenging if you pick the right one. Invite a few friends over to paint or do other projects with you. You’ll create a beautiful piece of art for your home and have fun doing it.

Organize your closet.

We could all use this time to bring some organization into our homes. Pour yourself a glass of vino and start with the closet. Pour another and find all the lids for your storage containers. Invite your friends and family to pick through your closet for items they want and maybe return the favor. By the end, you’ll have a more organized house and a nice buzz.

Plant something.

You don’t need much. A little potting soil, some seeds and sunny spot. A little time in the sunshine digging in the soil does the mind and body good. Research what kinds of flowers or herbs grow best in your climate and how often to feed and water them. Then sit back with a cold wine spritzer (or Budlight Seltzer) and watch them sprout and grow!

Flowers are therapeutic to grow and make your home look and smell fresh.

Start a blog or journal.

Not every one likes the thought of sitting down and writing out their thoughts. But it can be a very therapeutic process, especially when you’re anxious or have a lot on your mind. Drink a glass of wine before you sit down to write to relax you and get the juices flowing. Then just start writing. Even if it’s not Stephen King grade, you might find out a little about yourself and release some stress in the process.

Take a bath.

Nothing quite beats a glass of deep red wine and a warm bath. Dump in that anti-bacterial hand soap to make yourself feel better and sip something while you soak your worries away. Throw in some epsom salts to soothe any sore muscles and remove toxins. Pour your partner a glass too and relax in the tub together.

Enjoy the down time in your home with the ones you love- and a little bit of wine.

1. Never leave a glass empty

Koreans always pour drinks for their friends and colleagues, and especially for their boss. If you see an empty drink, fill it immediately!

2. Eat

Koreans never start their night at a bar or drink on an empty stomach. This is key to lasting the night. They’ll usually start at a barbecue restaurant and start in on the shots immediately. Don’t consider one meal enough; they’ll continue to eat share plates throughout the night.

3. Share

Koreans never drink alone. If you order a beer, you should order a pitcher to share with the table. Order a bottle (or 3) of soju to share with friends. Same goes with the food, order enough meat for everyone to eat some, and continue to do the same with the following smaller courses.

4. Move

I don’t mean get up and dance, I mean change locations at least 3 times. After finishing one meal they’ll leave and go to “2^nd cha” meaning a second place. After sharing some more food and more drinks at the next place, they’ll head to “3^rd cha” or a third place, maybe this time a bar to strictly drink. They night often finishes at a karaoke bar, the “4^th cha” in a private room and maybe with a personal hostess or two for the men.

5. Never drink alone

Of course you`re already drinking with your friends but never take a drink without saying cheers to someone first. And always drink when someone says cheers to you. Yes, this can be dangerous. Which brings us to our next point…

6. SHOTS

Koreans drink straight from a shot glass and often down it when they cheers someone. Finishing the whole glass isn’t mandatory, but it’s fair game to harass someone who has not finished their shot.

There you have it. 6 steps to drinking like a Korean businessman. Be careful though, this could lead to a rough journey home. Korea is fairly free of crime so police officers will often just drive you home if you fall asleep in the street there. The same cannot be said about your drunken stumble home in the US.

Of course without moderation drinking can be very hazardous to your health, but we all seem to ignore the positive ends of drinking and what it can do for us. For starters there is the original reason why drinking began in the first place – the relaxer. As many of us know, alcohol really does help you destress as it lowers the everyday stress and worries that consume you throughout the day. So, to end your day with a glass or two of wine, you notice the tension that often bothers you seems to fade away for a speck of time allowing you to relax.

Along with alleviating stress, alcohol is also a big boost in our social lives. From work happy hours, to nights out with your friends, alcohol really does help loosen the crowd up and help people get along… when the drinking is kept to an acceptable level versus a remake of The Hangover. This is because along with helping you wind down, alcohol also lowers your inhibitions in this process. So, if you’re the type who panics when they enter a room full of people, a drink or two might help you take on the crowd with stride.

On the same path to eliminate stress, alcohol also helps clear our minds. Believe it or not – I feel there is some truth to this, despite the fact that we spend most of our time hating alcohol which usually does nothing but cloud our mind. Take a first date for example:  When you’re sitting at dinner with your date that you seem to like very much… most of us tend to get nervous. With these nerves, our minds tend to race a mile a minute as we try to make sure we say the right thing, look the right way, smile, laugh, look interested… the list is endless. While you’re feeling this way, you then begin to emulate a different vibe that is just not your usual self. To change this have a drink with dinner! Now, I don’t mean suck the bar dry and offend yourself, your date and just about everyone else in a drunken warpath. But, a drink or two will do the trick to calm you down, loosen you up, and allow a clearer and slower mind that will help keep you from getting lost in worried thought.

Again, alcohol is one of those things we must be careful with. It can be our best friend and sometimes our worst enemy. By finding a good balance in your drinking, one can start to notice a lot of the benefits that can come out of it as well.

Cheers!
