Apparently, Its Mother Fucking Booz Time Ladies.

NY Mag has a really great article on young woman and alcohol. Apparently we (the ladies) are have taken to imbibing–with coworks, friends, alone–in more copious amounts.
A couple of disjointed things that struck me about the article:

dear white people

Quacks like a racist

Today’s contestant: Bobby Lee May.
In addition to sharing his name with a famous juggler, Monsieur May served as treasurer of the Buchanan County Republican Party as well as county representative to Senator McCain’s Virginia leadership team.
