It’s 5 O’Clock Somewhere
5 Reasons Why Happy Hour is the Favorite Hour
After a long stressful day of all work and no play, happy hour turns into the favorite hour for the working girl. Why waste a corporate chic outfit on junk food and television when you can grab a much deserved drink and socialize in style? Re-apply some gloss and brush on that blush because after work, you’re practically all good to go.
The perks of happy hour are endless:
– It gives you the chance to unwind. Let down your hair a little, roll up those sleeves, and just breathe. Take in the atmosphere of mindless chatter and find the cozy corner that you can claim as yours.
– Handsome business men in suits, need I say more? Eyeing men in suits in a meeting or passing on a busy side street may not be everyone’s style, but in a happy hour, it may just be your lucky moment. Either way, total eye candy!
– Catch up with friends and gossip endlessly. Don’t wait to the weekend to play catch up on who’s dating whom, exchanging your favorite TV shows, and where you last splurged on those new shoes. Keep things interesting and mix up various days with different friends.
– Happy hours = drink specials at lower prices. Nothing beats a good deal: 2 for 1, 1/2 off, Yes! Some of us aren’t making bank, and so those happy hours definitely give us something to be happy about at the end of the day, even when it may not be payday.
– Bond with co-workers, network a little, and crack those small office jokes. Sharing a funny moment is a great way to break the ice. And perhaps you secretly want to get to know your cute coworker a little closer, what better way then to catch up after office hours.
Look up local bars and restaurants near to where you work to find the deals for happy hour. Or, take the opportunity to get to know different neighborhoods in your city. You may find that the people in the financial district are different from the fashion district, and etc. With that being said, try to stick to only one or two drinks a night. Remember, you have to wake up for work the next day!
