Stock Up on Eco Booze for Your New Year’s Party

December 31, 2008 · Print This Article

Here it comes, the official last party of 2008 — and not a moment too soon. After weeks of shopping, gift wrap, drinking binges, encouraging consumerism, and excessive packaging, I for one am starting to feel like I might be coming down with holiday fatigue. Still, there’s one raging, confetti-throwing shindig left, and even whether you don’t have a game plan to green your New Year’s party — there’s still day. Just assemble your token effort at the liquor store.

My intention here isn’t to preach the gospel of green partying, but just to give you a couple of options on how to reach at a liquor store an alcohol-craving bacchanalian

ingrate … and leave as a cultured, slightly less wasteful, socially-conscious drunk. Whether you prefer vodka, gin, tequila, rum, or a nice scotch — there are options. Only some of them may not be easy to find on super-short notice. Check out a few eco-booze options in the gallery below.
